🔧 PRO TIP
The 1998 Subaru Legacy remote is a separate fob from the ignition key on most configurations from this era. The fob runs a CR2025, and these are old enough now that the battery contacts inside get a little corroded even when the battery tests fine. If lock and unlock range has dropped or the buttons feel unresponsive, pop the case open before assuming the fob is dead. Clean the contact points with a cotton swab and a little isopropyl, seat a fresh CR2025, and test range from about 30 feet. A lot of these fobs that owners think are gone just need that reset. Also: the rubber button pad on late-90s Subaru fobs dries out and loses its click. Replacement shells with fresh pads are available, and if the circuit board is intact, a shell swap is the whole fix.

1998 Subaru Legacy Remote Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Out in Royal/Kadota, a physical therapist flagged me down at her driveway on a weekday morning before her first appointment. She had a 1998 Legacy that she'd owned for years, and the fob was falling apart. The plastic loop at the top had snapped clean off, so she was carrying the fob loose in her pocket, and the rubber button covers were worn down to almost nothing. The lock button still worked if you pressed it in exactly the right spot.

She had called the dealer first. They quoted her a number that assumed she needed a completely new key, full replacement, no discussion about whether the internals were salvageable.

I looked at the board inside. It was clean. No corrosion, no cracked solder points, no damage from the broken shell. The factory FCC ID matched what I expected for this year and market. Everything that actually made the fob work was fine.

I had a replacement shell in the van that fit the button layout. Transferred the board over, seated a new CR2025, snapped it together. Tested all four buttons, checked range from across the driveway, and that was it. She didn't need a new fob programmed from scratch. She needed someone to look at what was actually broken instead of defaulting to full replacement.

She made it to her first appointment on time. The dealer quote never came up again.

“Locked out on a weekend night and everyone else wanted $300+. EZ Car Keyz sent Roman late at night for much less. He worked for over an hour and did not give up until the door opened. They even made a new key on the spot.”

Subaru Legacy Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

Do I have to go to the Subaru dealer to get a replacement key for a 1998 Legacy?
No. A mobile locksmith with the right Subaru tooling can handle this at your location in Simi Valley, same day. The 1998 Legacy is old enough that some general locksmiths pass on it out of unfamiliarity rather than any real technical barrier. That's a them problem, not a you problem. We work on these regularly. The fob for this generation can be programmed on site, and the key blade can be cut to your vehicle without a dealer visit. One appointment, done at your driveway.
