🔧 PRO TIP
The 2023 Forester smart key runs a CR2032, and that part is easy. What trips people up is the backup start procedure. If the fob battery dies completely and the push-button won't respond, hold the fob flat against the start button itself and push. The car reads the fob through a short-range inductive pickup built into the button surround, so it will still crank even with a dead battery. Good to know before you call anyone. Also worth noting: if your key-not-detected warning is showing up intermittently but the fob battery is fresh, check whether it started after a phone upgrade. Some wireless chargers and newer phones sitting on the center console put out enough interference to confuse the receiver. Move the phone, retest.

2023 Subaru Forester Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a guy in Lemonwood, Oxnard, around 3:30 in the afternoon. He worked at a brewery taproom nearby and his shift started at 4. The Forester's push-button start wasn't responding, the dash was showing a key-not-detected warning, and his manager was already texting him.

He wasn't panicked, but he was close.

I was in the lot in under 20 minutes. The fob looked fine from the outside, but when I opened it up the CR2032 was sitting slightly off-axis in the tray, just enough to break contact intermittently. No fault with the key itself, no fault with the vehicle. Just a battery that had shifted.

Seated the battery correctly, verified contact, tested every button on the fob. Then I walked the handles, confirmed touch-unlock was reading on both sides, and had him put it through a full start cycle himself so he could see it working before I packed up.

He clocked in five minutes late, which, given where he started, felt like a win. The whole thing cost him a fraction of what the dealer would have quoted just for the diagnostic, before they even touched a key.

Sometimes the job is the big reset and the new fob. Sometimes it's a battery clip and 25 minutes. Either way, I'm already in Oxnard.

Subaru Forester Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

Do you use OEM or aftermarket keys for the 2023 Forester?
We use verified blanks that match the factory FCC ID on the fob and the correct battery spec for your exact vehicle. On the 2023 Forester, this matters more than on older Subarus. The current smart key system is particular about what it will pair to, and forum threads are full of owners who bought a fob online, handed it to a locksmith or dealer, and got told the aftermarket unit wouldn't register cleanly. Some did pair but showed range issues within weeks. We don't start a job with a blank we aren't confident in, because if it doesn't hold, you're paying twice.
How long should a replacement key last on a 2023 Forester?
What if my replacement key stops working a few weeks after you program it?
I have a working key but I want a spare. Can you add one without going to the dealer?
If I lose both keys, is the 2023 Forester an all-keys-lost job or does it need to go to a dealer?
