🔧 PRO TIP
The 2008 Forester uses a transponder key with no remote, no fob, no battery. The key itself carries the chip. What kills these keys is usually the rubber grip collar cracking or the key head getting snapped where the plastic meets the blade. When that happens, the chip can shift inside the housing. Car might crank and die, or refuse to start at all, and the first assumption is always the immobilizer or the battery. Check the key head first. If it's cracked or the blade is loose in the plastic, the chip may be sitting at a bad angle relative to the ring antenna in the column. A fresh-cut key on a new blank solves it, and the transponder programs through the OBD port. Keep a spare cut before you ever need it.

2008 Subaru Forester Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A guy called me from the VA clinic parking lot off Vineyard Ave, right in the Oxnard Historic District. He was in a wheelchair, his wife was out of town, and his only key had snapped. The blade was still in his pocket but the plastic head with the chip was stuck in the door lock cylinder. He'd tried to muscle it out with his fingernails and made it worse.

I got there and spent a few minutes extracting the broken head from the cylinder with a broken key extractor. The cylinder was fine. The chip housing in the broken head was intact, which was good news.

I decoded the lock, cut two new keys from blank stock I carry on the van, and programmed the transponder through the OBD port. One key is the daily driver, one goes in his center console as the spare he never had. The whole job was done without him leaving his car. He didn't have to ask his wife to cut her trip short. Didn't have to wait for a flatbed or figure out how to get into a dealer service bay in a chair.

He mentioned afterward that the dealer had told him they'd need to order a part and schedule him a week out. I was there and done the same morning he called.

Subaru Forester Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

What if I need a Subaru key after hours or on the weekend?
Call us. Subaru dealer service departments typically close Friday afternoon and run limited Saturday hours. Sunday is almost always dark. If you lose your only key on a Friday evening anywhere in or around the Oxnard Historic District, the dealer cannot help you until Monday at the earliest, and that assumes they have a blank in stock and an open slot. Subaru roadside assistance covers towing and lockouts, but it is not set up to cut and program a replacement key on site. That requires equipment and blanks, not a tow truck. We work nights and weekends. That is not a selling point, it is just when most people figure out they have a problem.
How long does programming take once you are at my car?
Can you make a key faster than the dealer?
My 2008 Forester starts fine sometimes and cranks but won't fire up other times. Could it be the key?
I bought a key blank online. Can I bring it to you to cut and program?
