2012 Subaru WRX Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
The OEM versus aftermarket question on 2012 Subaru WRX keys deserves an honest answer. OEM Subaru keys come from the factory with the logo and a premium price tag. Aftermarket keys use the same blade profile, same chip type, same button layout, and same circuit board. The daily-use difference is zero when the aftermarket blank is quality sourced.
A record store owner at his shop lot in Imperial Beach asked me directly whether the key would be "as good as dealer." He had a 2012 Subaru WRX and wanted a spare for daily use, not a drawer backup. Fair question.
I carry aftermarket blanks tested across hundreds of Subaru jobs. The blade is the same DAT17 side-milled profile. The chip is the correct generation. His fob, FCC ID , was a 3-button remote. Same button feel, same weight, same snap-together fit. The difference is no Subaru logo on the back and about $100 less.
His total was $121. Dealer charges $291 for OEM. Where aftermarket goes wrong is cheap blanks with thin plastic that cracks in a month. I test every batch before it goes in the van.
