2005 Subaru Baja Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I was parked on Main Street in Downtown Ventura when the call came in. Guy had a 2005 Subaru Baja, only key, snapped in the ignition. Not bent, not worn down. Clean break, half of it still seated in the cylinder.
That extraction takes patience. You work slowly so the cylinder doesn't get chewed up in the process. Once the broken piece came out, I decoded the lock and cut a new blade to match. That part went fine.
The part that took longer was the transponder enrollment. The 2005 Baja immobilizer has a timed security countdown built into the learn sequence. You initiate it, and then you wait. You can not rush it. He was standing next to me watching the laptop screen and I could tell he wanted something to happen faster. I told him the countdown was doing exactly what it was supposed to do.
When it finished and the car started clean, he looked at the key like he was surprised it was just a regular-looking key. No buttons, no fob, just a black-headed transponder key that turns in a cylinder. He said he expected something more high-tech.
Three starts, engine off between each one, confirmed the transponder was reading consistently. Done on site, no tow, no waiting at a dealer counter.

Customers who skipped the dealer markup
“My Chevy key snapped while I was running errands in North Oxnard. He removed the broken piece from the ignition, cut a new blade, programmed the transponder, and tested everything thoroughly. The whole job was smooth and professional. Best automotive locksmith I have used.”
“My car keys were stolen on a cold evening and Nick drove all the way out to Santa Barbara. He got into my car, made a new key, and charged $100 less than another company. Friendly, skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring. Nick is a hero.”
“Tim is a hero. He programmed a master proximity key for a newer Volkswagen that multiple locksmiths refused to touch. He spent hours until late at night making sure every function worked perfectly. The skill level here is incredible.”
