🔧 PRO TIP
The 2016 Impreza push-to-start system runs Subaru's keyless access with push-button start on Sport and Limited trims, using the HYQ14AHC fob with a CR2032 inside. A dying battery triggers "KEY NOT DETECTED" on the dash and kills the door handle proximity unlock before the start button stops responding. But here's the real trap: some owners try the on-board add-a-key sequence from older Subarus, half-register a blank, and wipe their only working fob from memory. Now you have zero keys and a bigger bill. Don't touch it. Call first.

2016 Subaru Impreza Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A night janitor called me from a laundromat parking lot near the UCSB campus in Santa Barbara around 10:30 at night. His only key to his 2016 Impreza was gone. No spare, no registration on him, no idea what a VIN was. He was about to call a tow truck just to move the car somewhere safe until the dealer opened.

I talked him through it on the phone. Look through the windshield, driver side, bottom of the glass. He found the 17-character VIN. Then I told him to check his insurance app for the registration info. It was there.

With the VIN I already knew I was dealing with an HYQ14AHC proximity fob on the 93C76 immobilizer system before I left the house. I prepped the right key blank and had the VVDI Key Tool loaded with the correct profile.

Under the parking lot lights, I generated the transponder, built the 4-button smart fob, and programmed it through the OBD port. The whole thing took about 40 minutes including the security reset countdown. He stood there quiet the whole time, then just said "that's it?" when the push-button start fired the engine.

He drove home that night. The dealer would have needed a tow, a wait until morning, and a much bigger bill. The VIN is the single most useful piece of information you can give me when you call.

“Niv showed up, did his thing, and just like that I had two new keys for a fraction of what the dealership quoted. I have zero reservations recommending him to anyone who needs car keys replaced.”

“We had one broken key for our Honda Civic and one working key for our Lexus. Tim came out and cut three remote car keys at a great price. All keys worked perfectly. Professional, courteous, and highly recommended.”

Subaru Impreza Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

What is the cheapest way to replace my 2016 Subaru Impreza smart key?
Call a mobile locksmith before you call the dealer. Subaru dealers routinely quote north of 300 for a single add-a-key on the push-to-start Impreza, and that's before the diagnostic fee and any wait time for parts. One Subaru owner on the SubaruForester.org forums reported being quoted close to 1,700 at a dealer and getting the job done by a locksmith in the dealer parking lot for a fraction of that. I carry the HYQ14AHC fob, part number 88835-AL04A, and cut and program it on site. No tow, no appointment backlog, no parts-on-order delay.
How much more does an all-keys-lost job cost compared to adding a spare?
Do aftermarket smart key fobs work on the 2016 Impreza push-to-start system?
My Impreza says "KEY NOT DETECTED" but the fob battery is new. What's wrong?
Can I start my 2016 Impreza if the smart key battery is completely dead?
