2014 Subaru Impreza Remote Head Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Got a call around midnight from a guy near the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara. Third-shift factory worker, parked his 2014 Impreza in the gravel alley behind his duplex, and his only key just stopped turning the ignition. The blade was worn down on one side, enough that the wafer tumblers inside the Subaru column lock wouldn't set right anymore.

He had already looked up tow costs and dealer hours. The Subaru dealer on the phone had told him next available appointment was four days out, plus he would need the car towed in. He was already rearranging his week.

I told him to stay put.

I pulled into that alley, set up on the hood, and cut a fresh NSN19 blade to code using the key data from his CWTWB1U811 remote head. Same shell, same remote board, same 4D60 80-bit transponder. Then I connected to the OBD port and registered the replacement through the immobilizer on the 88835FJ001 body module. The whole sequence ran about 25 minutes.

The part that mattered to him was simple. He turned the key, the Security light on the dash cycled off like normal, and the engine caught. He sat there a second with his hands on the wheel like he was waiting for something to go wrong. Nothing did.

He drove to his shift that night. No tow, no days off, no dealer wait.
