2001 Subaru Forester Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a guy over in the Fremont North neighborhood in Oxnard. He was at the VA clinic lot, uses a wheelchair, and his wife who normally drives was out of town. His only key's remote had quit, and dealing with a dealer meant arranging transport he didn't have.
I drove out that morning. The 2001 Forester uses an older setup, no proximity or push-button anything. Mechanical edge-cut key with a Texas Instruments 4C glass transponder in the bow, and a separate NHVWB1U711 four-button remote clipped to the ring. Two different systems bolted onto the same keychain.
I decoded his driver lock with my Lishi HO01, cut a fresh SUB3 blank, and cloned the 4C chip. Then I paired the replacement remote. On this generation, the keyless entry module is separate from the immobilizer ECU, so you're basically doing two jobs at the same spot. The fob syncs through a manual procedure at the car, no scan tool needed for that half.
He sat in his chair next to the car the whole time. Watched me test every button on the remote, lock, unlock, panic, trunk release, then start the engine twice to confirm the transponder read was clean.
He didn't have to leave the clinic. Didn't have to call his wife. Didn't have to figure out a ride to a dealership and sit in their waiting room. Got it handled right there in the parking lot for a fraction of what the dealer wanted.

“Fast, affordable, and a great price. Marco did an amazing job and made a key for our Nissan Kicks quickly and professionally. Everything worked perfectly.”
“I got locked out of my vehicle and also lost my key. Marco came out, made a new key for my Toyota, and got me back on the road. He was professional, friendly, and clearly knows what he is doing.”
“My ignition would not turn in La Jolla and I thought I needed a tow. EZ Car Keyz repaired the ignition on the spot and also made a spare key for safety. The technician worked carefully and confidently.”
