🔧 PRO TIP
The 2008 WRX uses a Texas Instruments TI 4D-62 transponder chip in a mechanical key, part number SR9-PT, blade profile NSN14 (also called DAT17). No remote buttons on the key itself, just the transponder embedded in the head. If someone installed an aftermarket alarm with an immobilizer bypass module, like a DEI or Fortin unit, a bad bypass wire splice will mimic a dead transponder. Check for crossed wires at the ignition harness before assuming the key or the immobilizer ECU is the problem.

2008 Subaru WRX Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

I got a call from a woman near the Conejo Valley Botanic Garden in Thousand Oaks. She had one working key left for her 2008 WRX and wanted a spare before that one disappeared too.

She'd already called the Subaru dealer. They told her to bring the car in, leave it, and they'd have a key ready in a few days. She asked if she could wait. They said no. Something about ordering the blank and scheduling the cut and program separately.

I met her in the parking area off Gainsborough Road. Her WRX was the narrow-body GD chassis, last year before the wide-body redesign. The key was the standard SR9-PT blank with a 4D-62 chip inside, no remote buttons, just a plain transponder key that talks to the immobilizer coil around the ignition cylinder.

I cut a new NSN14 blade on my mobile machine, matched to her original. Then connected through the OBD port and registered the new 4D-62 chip to her immobilizer module. The car accepted it on the first pass. Turn, crank, start. Then I tested her original to make sure registration still held on both keys.

She stood there turning both keys over in her hands like she was trying to spot the difference. There wasn't one.

Whole thing took about fifteen minutes. She drove off with two working keys instead of one and never had to leave the car anywhere.

Subaru WRX Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

What if I need a 2008 WRX key after hours or on a weekend?
Call us. Subaru dealer service departments run Monday through Friday with limited Saturday hours and nothing on Sunday. If your only key breaks on a Friday night, the dealer can't touch it until Monday at the earliest, and that assumes they have an SR9-PT blank in stock and a slot open. Subaru roadside assistance will tow you but they don't cut or program keys on site. I carry WRX blanks and 4D-62 chips on every call, nights and weekends included, because that's exactly when people find out they need a key.
How long does it take to program a new key once you arrive?
Can you make a key faster than the Subaru dealer?
My 2008 WRX cranks but won't start and the security light is flashing. Is the key bad?
Can I program a spare transponder key myself on a 2008 WRX?
