ADVICE IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS: I hope this saves sometime the trouble I went through. I bought this because my old fob would program but wasn’t working. When I went to program the new one, I would get a constant beeping and the car would not accept the new serial number. After a few tries, I realized I still had my old fob with me with the battery in it (even though it no longer functioned). I WAS ONLY ABLE TO PROGRAM THE NEW FOB AFTER I TOOK THE BATTERY OUT OF THE OLD FOB, EVEN THOUGH THE OLD FOB DID NOT WORK AT ALL. Also, as a side point, mine is a 2009 manual Impreza and i did not have to hold my clutch in during the programming process. Hope this helps. Thanks for the video!
Can there be a possibility I can ruin the old key if I register the new key?
@@Ktav95 probably too late now, but no you can program up to 4 fobs to one car.
Hey George. Just programmed an aftermarket Amazon Key fob. Followed your steps….works perfectly. One attempt. One success.
Now , I have a back-up key fob. Thank You George👍
I have a 2009 Forrester and got a new key. I watched this video. It completely works. Thank you for putting this out! You saved me $165.
Your instructions were perfect! I watched other videos but they didn't exactly match the behavior of my car (2008 Impreza WRX) so I wasn't having any success until I found your very clear instructions. I programmed my fob while following your video and was successful on the first try. THANK YOU!
THANK YOU! Haven't had a fob in almost two years. The car didn't come with one and they used dealership key guy couldn't get one to program. I ordered one off amazon with little hope that it would work. I followed your directions and it worked! I don't know why the key fob didn't come with instructions. So glad I didn't have to pay the subaru dealership for a key fob. You're the best!
Thanks George!!! You rock!! Worked perfectly on my two keyfobs I just bought. Saved me a ton of money and time from having to go to a locksmith or dealer.
I would definitely recommend taking old key fobs battery out. It didnt work for me, until I took off the battery of old one. After that, just easy to follow along. Great video!
Worked for my '09 Forester. Took three tries. Realized I was skipping a step. Thanks a lot!
Thanks! Mine didn't beep in the beginning to confirm, but continued to follow the process and it worked.
Thank you so much for this . Worked perfectly for me today with a new replacement fob for a 2012 Forester ($35 fob on Amazon) and saved myself $300 the dealership would have charged for a diagnostic appointment, new fob and reprogramming. DIY success!! (I am no auto expert, maybe a 2 on a scale of 1-10 but I can follow directions from other experts. Thank you so much.)
Thank you so much. Bought my fob off Amazon. All the reviews said doesn’t work on Japan models but it does! You are awesome man
Thank you! Your video was the most helpful! Tried other ways and it wasn’t working but this way did. Daughter is so happy to finally have a working key fob!
Thank you thank you! Thank you!!! I was shocked how much they wanted to charge to program my replacement fob after mine quit working and they estimated a much longer time for labor than it took to do this on my own! At least they suggested looking on TH-cam for videos on how to do this as a first option or I wouldn't have known there were legit videos on how to do so. Again, thank you for this video and your clear instructions!
Tried this on my 2006 Subaru Sti and it worked. The fob got programmed, thank you.
Awesome step by step instructions... you just save us $300+ the dealership expensive diagnostic appointment (new fob, they said it would take 1hr to reprogramming it) --only took me less than 5mins. well to be honest it took me 5times watching this video... thank you very much for being one honest mechanic.....
Still works like a charm as of 3/26/24. Thanks George!!
Followed my manual and that didn’t work, but I did everything you said on the video and it worked perfectly! Thank you!
At first I thought it hadn't worked and I walked out and pressed on the fob and it worked. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for this! For some reason youtube decided this needs to show up on my home page NOW! Ive been searching for a way to reprogram my fobs for YEARS! Thank you!
I'll be honest. I thought this was a joke. But it actually works. THANK YOU!
My car's manual laid out the steps, but had an error, in that it kept referencing step 3, which it never explicitly stated as step 3. 🙄 So between my manual and your video, I got the job done, on the first attempt. Many thanks!
Dude! You are the man. The manual was garbage. Manual must have been written on a Friday by someone who was hungover. Thank you for this! Worked like a charm.
This worked flawlessly on my 09 WRX, much easier than the enter the code method.
thank you so much for this instructions, I just programming two fobs for my Subaru legacy 2005 and they work perfectly I didn’t have to go to the dealership or locksmith.
Ones of the best videos I have had the pleasure to use
You're awesome. Out of the other videos out there, none of them showed that after the 10th switch on, you need to turn the key back to the lock position and leave it there. Bought a new fob from Subaru because my old one was on the fritz. Kept thinking I was in valet mode because my 06 WRX wasn't honking, chirping, or cycling the lights, but it was all user error by me not leaving that key at the lock position after the 10th switch.
Since I was struggling with the nuances and not many people have posted for this year of Subaru - With the 2006 WRX there are some differences. The car will let out one long chirp after opening and closing the door, after the 10th switch cycle.
From there it chirps to confirm the entry of each digit. On the re-entry it will chirp repeatedly until you start to re-enter the digits to confirm. After you've confirmed one more long chirp when you open and close the door, and then a short 2-3 chirps when you remove your key from the ignition switch. As with all the other tutorials, test your fob out after the keys are out of the ignition.
David Franklin Hannant hey I have a 2006 wrx. I can’t get nothing after the 10 key turns. Open the door, close it. Turn the key 10x on and off, leave it in the lock position. Open and close it again and nothing chirps
@@aaronburrows44 any solution found????
@@aaronburrows44 I didnt get chime nore dome light flashing... so I just follow through.. completed the steps as accurately as possible.. I tested the remote and is works. Pls try all the step even without chime as it still works.
My lock button doesn't work.. but that bc when I opened the remote the lock button is not solded(its a common issue with key fobs).
You are the ONLY person on TH-cam that I was able to follow and ACTUALLY get it to work!!!!! You fricken rock! Thanks so much 😭
You don’t understand how much I love you for this
Worked perfectly for my 2006 Impreza. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video. I really appreciate people like you!!!
Thank you for this video! I just reprogrammed my fob and the instructions that same with it weren’t very clearly. Thank you for making this video😇
You are miracle worker! Got an after market fob off Amazon and your instructions worked perfectly thank you
Also worked for my 09 Forester, can confirm it works. Thank you for the video!
George, great video. Thanks so much for the precise instruction and visual footage. The directions which were provided with fob were not good at all. We needed and used your advice. Many Thanks.
Worked for me! Thanks. I just saved $80 that the dealer was asking.
I can’t get this to work on my forester, I followed the instructions exactly and by the end my fob does not lock or unlock the doors. It’s the same style as this and I made sure I had the right code from inside the fob 3 times. UPDATE: Found that this only works with brand new never previously programmed fobs. Managed to find a brand new one for around $25 on eBay and it worked right away!!!
Didn't work on my 2010 Impreza either. Going to dealer
It worked (partially) with my older fob…got my unlock button working, but the rest are old and crusty :)
Great video helped me program a fob after the unlock switch failed in the old one. There are many videos out there and a lot of folks omit the step of entering the code again to verify the numbers.
If you omit that step the fob code will not be set and it wont work.. Thanks again wish I'd looked at your video first.
Just did this today on my 2014 WRX hatch. Worked perfectly! Thanks a lot for this video!!
Thank you!! Was reading the manual on how to do this and was super confused. This video saved me couple hundred at the dealership for a new fob!
❤❤❤ You did make it easier and correctly, some TH-camrs didn’t make it like you, appreciate you Man…❤❤❤
Great video, it seems that the newer remotes have the code on the back of the fob. Worked like a charm!
Thank You George! Followed your vid, worked great for my 2006 Baja Sport!👍
Definitely worked, took a few tries, but just follow along! Programmed 2 different remotes too for the same car.. saved a lot of money from not going to the dealership!
Thanks George, your instructions were great. Darlington, South Carolina
Great video!
Question; my key and fob looks identical like yours. How do I get another key cut and working? I know how to program the fob now after watching your video.
Thank you!!!
So I just try to reprogram old Legacy fob , for my new bought Forester, but it won't work ! I don't know if because my Legacy is parked right behind has an effect, but at this point I going to buy a new fob and retry! Will follow up tomorrow
Worked perfectly on my 05 legacy 2.5i. Just like top comment says though, remove the battery from the old fob.
This method does work, a little patience is all you need. It only took me 2 tries.
IT WORKED THANKS BRO! Saved me $200 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Worked perfectly for a 2012 Forester! Thank you!
Everything was working fine with the chirps the codes, but my doors were not locking like it did in the video after entering the code the second time am I doing something wrong? Thank you.
Worked perfectly first try for me with an Amazon key fob on a 2008 Impreza. Thanks.
This is a keeper! I am buying a new fob because my repaired unit failed.
It is dead. I repaired it once but twice stung, never again...
I *think* it worked…my unlock button works again! It was an old FOB, so I’m assuming the other buttons just are busted. I’ve a new fob on the way so we will see…thank u!
This video did work for our 2013 Subaru Forester with a key fob we got off Ebay! The only thing we needed to change was that we needed to input the Code TWICE . And make sure the lights that are supposed to flashing are on “ Door Lights “ , we had ours off so the first few times we didn’t see lights flashing 😅 .
This works great. My problem getting this going was turning on the accessories but not going all the way over to ON 10 times. Thanks for posting this.
This video is the correct method if you follow it exactly. I've watched a few others and they are missing steps.
I got a 2008 impreza wrx base model and it worked perfectly 💯
Thanks, first couple times I tried I missed hitting unlock(enter) at the end of the sequence of numbers each time.
Ok, I also missed the need to enter the numbers twice as I was trying to write down the steps because audio processing ain’t my strong suit. 😂
Either way on my successful attempt the fob didn’t work when I tested it during the process but once I pulled my key and gave it 30s it now recognizes the new fob just fine!
Two other notes that would have saved me time. First, the battery in old fob was fine but the battery in the new fob was DOA (this didn’t trip me up because I tested it in my known working fob before attempting to program but could have caused a ton of frustration!). Second, stupid simple mistake that stumped me for a second was that my aftermarket fob has the number carved on the back instead of on a sticker inside the casing.
Thanks again, this worked like a charm on my 2011 forester once I figured out the parts I missed!
I had to write down the steps as well!! Haha.
This looks great,but I have a question. I bought a used Crosstrek that only came with 1 remote/key. I bought another online. If I program the new one,will it delete the old one? Thanks for the info!
It works! Thanks so much for this amazing video!! It took me a few times because I think I missed a step but it works with the used remote I bought on eBay!
Having problems. Followed Video to a T till the end after programming second set of numbers I get the unlock on the doors I open the door press the fob close the door and it’s still just a constant beep there’s no chirp. When I pull the key out I get the double chirp open the door and the fob does not work. Any suggestions?
pray first, it did work thank you for this video dude! Thank you Jesus
Does it make a difference if the key fob ain’t a oem fob cs this ain’t working for my Impreza and the fobs look similar to each other and I did the same exact thing.
Not sure why anyone would be skeptical. This protocol is literally in my owners manual. But it was helpful to see it in action.
Thank you George! Also, you say in your video that there is an alternative way to do it. What would it be? I can't not find your other video relating to it. Thank you
Thank you! Worked perfectly on my 06 Impreza base.
Just got new fobs off Amazon for thirty bucks and they were gonna charge me upwards of 250$ plus 90$ to program them. This was a great tutorial and I appreciate it so much. Worked flawlessly.
450 at the stealership
Worked just fine thanks a bunch saved me 80 bucks 👍🏽
I couldnt get it to work on my 06 wrx, but my car is probably just weird. I couldn't get it to stay in program mode. After trying to put in the first 2 numbers it kept exiting and the locks would start working while putting in the numbers.
Enormous thank you for sharing this!! I got it to work after 1 attempt. HUGE thanks!! ☺️
Is there a way of knowing that my fob is actually compatible? I've bought 2 now that claimed they were but after further investigation they cant be diy programmed. I dont want to do this a third time
Worked 2005 Subaru forester thanks a lot 😊
I am trying to program my remote. It is the fob that is a key and fob in one. After entering the number my locks cycle and then I follow the last steps but the fob will still not work. This is for an 05 outback xt.
Awesome, very clear instructions. Just tried it and worked as a charm. Thanks
just did this first try. extremely easy. thank you so much!
2006 wrx limited here. Not sure whats going on but no chimes or nothing. I still proceeded with it even tho it didn't chime and obviously it didn't work
What year Subaru does this method work for? Would this work for a 2015 Subaru Crosstrek (base model)?
Heck yeah! Thanks man, was having trouble until I ran across your video!
Thanks so much, worked on my 2007 Subaru outback
You are the best really it works from the first time thanks thanks 🙏🙏🙏
So thankful my friend, i just tried and i make it. Be blessed
Will like to say. Because of you I was able to program my keyfob. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good videos.
So how about that 3rd method? Can't find the video.
Great video. Very simple procedure. I did while you were giving the tutorial. Literally took just 2 minutes to do everything. Большое спасибо! 🙂
Yooo! Thank so much!!! Got an upgraded fob for my '06 Tribecca!! Worked out perfectly 👌
For those that have an 06 you will not hear a chime or beep Just follow instructions in the video as he is doing it and it will work
Thank you!! this worked for my 2005 Subaru legacy
Hi I hear all the sounds and everything but my lights don’t flash inside and the locks won’t cycle in the last step…anything you can help with? 06 forester thank u!
Do you have video for programming 2019 Subaru Forester 4 bottom keyless entry remote?
What year is this for? My son has 2001 (earlier model) has lost his one and only key. Have been told to take out the cars computer and take it to an auto locksmith. Any help appreciated. Just embarking on this process new learning curve.
Does this not assume that you have 2 FOB's with identical VIN #'s? I have a 2nd FOB but the serial number is different, so I dont know how to modify this techniqe. ive tried everything
It's strange. I've been trying this technique with my 2006 Subaru but nothing works. I follow the steps and all, i dont get any chimes or any noises from the outside of my car. I dont even get a noise after i enter the numbers from the key fob one time.
Worked 10 min ago!!!!! Awesome
How do you program a remote start fob? I followed the manual, but my Forester will attempt to start but the engine will not turn over, the gauges will sweep back and forth 4 times and then stop. I know that it has to be somewhat programed right, my understanding that it has to be programmed within the immobilizer? its an 2011 Forester btw
Thank you so much. Worked like a charm
Amazing! Worked on first try with these instructions. 2011 Subaru outback sport
As I type in the number it starts locking from the car lock. What should I do
I'm trying to program my fob from ebay with no luck.
What can be the problem?
I have followed the steps to get started, but when I put the key into the ignition and turn on and off 10x I do not hear any tone or see any lights flashing or anything....
Same happened to me...
Seriously saved me with this video. Thank you!
