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👍
So edit my last comment. Got it working on my Forester and not my WRX. Figured out what I did wrong. So yeah this method works perfectly.
It worked for me too! I had a professional come out right after I got the car and he couldn't even get it to work. So I ordered one off Amazon and did it myself.
@@Tara_Lee_80 it works but be careful on which one you purchase. I went through 3 that said it'd work for my 2010 WRX and it didn't work even with the correct model number. Foresters,no issues
@@hando-deez-nutz thankfully I got lucky on the first one I purchased. Whatever the key man used wasn't working. I ordered one off Amazon.
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 UA-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!
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.
Still works like a charm as of 3/26/24. Thanks George!!
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!
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.)
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!
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.
Worked for my '09 Forester. Took three tries. Realized I was skipping a step. Thanks a lot!
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.....
Tried this on my 2006 Subaru Sti and it worked. The fob got programmed, thank you.
Thanks! Mine didn't beep in the beginning to confirm, but continued to follow the process and it worked.
I'll be honest. I thought this was a joke. But it actually works. 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!
Ones of the best videos I have had the pleasure to use
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.
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).
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
You don’t understand how much I love you for this
This worked flawlessly on my 09 WRX, much easier than the enter the code method.
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!
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
Followed my manual and that didn’t work, but I did everything you said on the video and it worked perfectly! 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!
You are miracle worker! Got an after market fob off Amazon and your instructions worked perfectly thank you
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 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.
This video is the correct method if you follow it exactly. I've watched a few others and they are missing steps.
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!
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😇
Worked for me! Thanks. I just saved $80 that the dealer was asking.
Just did this today on my 2014 WRX hatch. Worked perfectly! Thanks a lot for this video!!
You are the ONLY person on UA-cam that I was able to follow and ACTUALLY get it to work!!!!! You fricken rock! Thanks so much 😭
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!
Worked perfectly for my 2006 Impreza. Thank you for making this video.
Also worked for my 09 Forester, can confirm it works. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for the very simple steps and notes of the chiming. I have an OBXT, the only thing that didn’t match was my dome lights did not come or flash, both the chiming continued.
My actual dome light flashed, but the two up front did not. But those chimes were unmistakable!
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...
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.
pray first, it did work thank you for this video dude! Thank you Jesus
This method does work, a little patience is all you need. It only took me 2 tries.
Great video, it seems that the newer remotes have the code on the back of the fob. Worked like a charm!
Thank you! Worked perfectly on my 06 Impreza base.
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video. I really appreciate people like you!!!
Not sure why anyone would be skeptical. This protocol is literally in my owners manual. But it was helpful to see it in action.
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
You are the best really it works from the first time thanks thanks 🙏🙏🙏
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.
Thank You George! Followed your vid, worked great for my 2006 Baja Sport!👍
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 😅 .
Worked just fine thanks a bunch saved me 80 bucks 👍🏽
Worked perfectly for a 2012 Forester! Thank you!
Worked perfectly on my 05 legacy 2.5i. Just like top comment says though, remove the battery from the old fob.
Worked perfectly first try for me with an Amazon key fob on a 2008 Impreza. Thanks.
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 :)
Worked 2005 Subaru forester thanks a lot 😊
Enormous thank you for sharing this!! I got it to work after 1 attempt. HUGE thanks!! ☺️
IT WORKED THANKS BRO! Saved me $200 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
❤❤❤ You did make it easier and correctly, some UA-camrs didn’t make it like you, appreciate you Man…❤❤❤
I got a 2008 impreza wrx base model and it worked perfectly 💯
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.
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.
Thanks so much, worked on my 2007 Subaru outback
Awesome, very clear instructions. Just tried it and worked as a charm. Thanks
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!
Will like to say. Because of you I was able to program my keyfob. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good videos.
Heck yeah! Thanks man, was having trouble until I ran across your video!
Yooo! Thank so much!!! Got an upgraded fob for my '06 Tribecca!! Worked out perfectly 👌
just did this first try. extremely easy. thank you so much!
So thankful my friend, i just tried and i make it. Be blessed
Awesome! I can't believe I did it on my own lol.
IT WORKS. Just did it to my 2006 Legacy GT. I just upgraded my key fob to a newly design style. I did the steps like in the video and paired my new fob and attempt to do the next fob and that one works too. So this was a success.
Thank you
Worked 10 min ago!!!!! Awesome
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
Thanks George, your instructions were great. Darlington, South Carolina
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!
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.
Great video. Very simple procedure. I did while you were giving the tutorial. Literally took just 2 minutes to do everything. Большое спасибо! 🙂
Thank you George, just followed your steps and successfully programmed my spare fob that was not working for the past year!
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?
Worked for my 2007 subaru outback.
Thank you!! this worked for my 2005 Subaru legacy
So how about that 3rd method? Can't find the video.
Did this with an OEM fob I bought off eBay on my 2008 WRX. Followed your procedure exactly and it worked! Thank you!
I did it in mine 2011 wrx and is not working, can somebody help me
George, you’re awesome! Thank you so much.
Seriously saved me with this video. Thank you!
You’re the man, thank you
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!!!
Anybody tried this with a turbo timer? I am not hearing a double chime after the 10 key cycles on my 07 Impreza WRX.
Thanks! Great instructions. I now have two fobs that work.
WOW. It worked for me. Thanks for saving me over a hundred dollars!!
Thank You!! Subaru wanted an appointment and to charge me for this issue........$$$$$$$. Gracias!!
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.
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...
Nailed it first time! Look Ma, I'm a Mechanic!! ;-) Thanks, dude!
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
Thank you so much. Worked like a charm
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.
