2017 Subaru Legacy
Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in Ventura County

Q: How do I know you are not a scam locksmith?

Scam locksmiths specifically target Subaru owners because the work is expensive and people are often stranded when they call. The pattern is always the same: a low number quoted by phone, then a much higher number once they're standing at your car, with the immobilizer blamed for the jump. It's a known enough problem that consumer protection groups have written about it. EZ Car Keyz has over 100,000 followers across YouTube and TikTok.

Q: Will the replacement key work exactly like the original?

Yes. The replacement fob gets fully registered to your 2017 Legacy's immobilizer and every function gets tested before I leave. Lock, unlock, the remaining buttons, proximity detection at the door handle, and a confirmed engine start. The last point matters more than people expect. There are cases where a key gets cut and partially programmed but the immobilizer enrollment wasn't completed correctly, and the car cranks but won't stay running.

Q: I bought a replacement fob online. Can you just program it to my 2017 Legacy?

Sometimes, but it depends on where the fob came from and whether it matches the factory FCC ID on your original. Aftermarket fobs vary a lot in quality, and some of them won't complete enrollment no matter what tool you use. If the fob you bought matches the correct specification for your vehicle, there's a reasonable chance it programs fine.

Q: My 2017 Legacy starts fine with the fob inside the car but the door handle touch unlock stopped working on one side. Is the fob dying?

Probably not the fob. If the car is recognizing the key for push-button start and the other door handle still triggers touch unlock, the fob itself is doing its job. This kind of one-side failure on the door handles usually points to the handle sensor on that specific door or the wiring to it - not the key. Clean the handle area and retest. If it stays isolated to that one door, that's where the problem lives.

2017 Subaru Legacy Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I was already somewhere in Moorpark when the call came in. Guy over in Mountain Meadows, standing next to his 2017 Legacy in his own driveway, push-button start showing a key warning on the dash. Shift started in under an hour. He'd already tried the fob against the start button the way the manual describes for a low-battery situation. Nothing.

When I pulled up he had the fob in his hand and that look people get when they've been troubleshooting something for twenty minutes and it's only gotten more confusing.

I popped the fob open right there on the hood. CR2032 looked fine visually, but I checked the contact clips anyway. One of them had a slight outward bow - barely visible - and the battery wasn't making full contact. I straightened the clip, seated a fresh CR2032 correctly, and snapped it shut.

That alone didn't fully fix it. The vehicle security system had logged the repeated failed start attempts and the fob still wasn't pairing cleanly. Plugged in through the OBD port, re-registered the fob to the immobilizer, cleared the stored fault. Walked every function: lock, unlock, the other two buttons, proximity detection at the door handle, and most importantly a clean push-button start with the engine idling before I handed anything back.

Total time on site was about 25 minutes. He made his shift. The dealer had quoted him a wait of several days just to get an appointment, plus the tow his insurance would have covered only partially.

I didn't bring that up. He did.

“I had two fob keys made for my Subaru. Marco provided excellent service and persevered through three parts orders to get the keys I needed. He is very thorough in making sure everything is working properly. Communication and punctuality are also to be commended.”

“They got to my location within 20 minutes of my phone call and had my new key+fob ready to go about 18 minutes after he arrived. A new working car key and fob within about 40 minutes and for a VERY reasonable price. I highly recommend. Customer service was great too.”

Are you licensed and insured to work on Subaru vehicles?▼

Yes. EZ Car Keyz is a California BSIS licensed locksmith company (LCO 6792), fully insured, and NASTF Vehicle Security Professional certified. Subaru smart key work on a 2017 Legacy isn't a plug-and-play job. It requires the right diagnostic equipment and proper access to the vehicle's immobilizer enrollment process. Not every locksmith who advertises Subaru service has actually invested in the tooling and software subscriptions that system demands.
