I went to the dealership and they could not help me set my PIN code. The Subaru sales manager couldn’t even help. Watched your video one time and it is done. Easy and clear instructions. Thank you!
I just bought my Subaru Crosstrek this past Saturday and I'm loving your "How To" videos. This one in particular. I often go to the gym not wanting to bring my keys with me, but I couldn't do that with my old car. Now, I can just leave it in the car and just take my phone and water bottle with me without needing to figure out where to put the car keys.
Glad I saw this video. When I had the Subaru guy come out to “show” me all the features of my new Subaru I asked if there was a way to get in without the Fob and was told no. Basically it was a waste of a trip because the guy literally showed me nothing. Every thing I’ve learned was here or on other Subaru UA-camr’s page, keep up the great work. Set this up in literally 5 minutes.
Bought a new 2024 SUbaru Outback Wilderness on Memorial Day Weekend. I have been mesmerized by Alex's excellent Subaru videos. I have learned so much in less than 1 week. Alex - you are a Subaru genius!
I just stumbled onto your videos today Alex! We bought Wife a 2016 Forester and these tips are exactly what we need to get the most from her vehicle, well done! Liked and subscribed.
This is very cool. Unfortunately, I opted for a regular key start on my 2022 Outback. There’s just something very satisfying about turning a key to start a vehicle. It’s probably because I’ve been driving since 1973! I like your videos, more information on my vehicle is always a good thing.
I bought a new Outback Limited XT about two months ago. Programmed my code after watching a older video of yours. Really came in handy on a recent trip. 👍 Thanks Your videos are great.
Thanks Alex, you're the best!! I am starting to show my dealership all the things they weren't able to show me ;) One question though please: setting the pin is a doddle, problem is I cannot seem to lock the key in the car, which I would like to do to go swimming at the beach. I press the lock button, then double click the unlock button, the light flashes, but even though I lock all doors manually before closing the door, they all unlock again as soon as I open the drivers door. I know that the key is in fact disabled as far as unlocking the car goes, because if I keep it on the outside of the car, it now does not work. So as an "interim" solution, I leave the window slightly open and then drop the key back inside once I lock it with the key; which strangely enough DOES work. Unlocking definitely doesn't. In a video by someone else I saw that he pressed the lock and trunk button at the same time while in the car to put the key to sleep. But that does not work for me either. Mine's a MY24 Outback. Please help!
Directions were perfect! As someone who is not that tech savy, I appreciate your awesome steps and details, especially with visual videos! Thanks for all of your great tips :)
For some reason my car doesn’t beep when I hold down the lock button on the fob and hold the hatch button. I can’t get into the programming mode. Any ideas?
thanks, learnt it from your previous pin code setup tutorial. But I can't lock the car doors after pin code access without the fob even I use the lock button in the driver side door
yep, same. Have you found a solution? Best I have come up with is to leave a window open slightly, lock car with fob, disable fob (that actually works the other way round too), then drop key into car. Now it really IS locked until I open it with the pin code.
there are 2 ways I have just discovered to lock your fob in the car firstly is just to disable the fob then take the key out and lock it with key and if you don't want to take the key then you disable the fob while sitting in the car then get out flick the lock button on the inside of the door to lock then get out and close the door while holding the handle up while you close the door then its locked until you enter the code hope that helps
@@heikemotzek5954 no need to leave window open sit in the car lock it then disable fob then get out flick the lock on the door to the lock position then get out and close the door holding the handle out as you close the door then it stays locked with your fob and key safely turned off locked inside then just use your code to get back in hope this helps
Do you continuously hold the lock button on the fob while holding the button on the car?have tried doing this numerous times on my 2022 Outback in my garage but the car never starts beeping so I can continue the process? ABSOLUTELY LOVE your channel and habve told several friends and they all love it too! WHAT AM I DOING WRONG Alex
Good instructions. Only wish you had a light to shine on the button on the car. Since it's black, it's hard to see. I recently locked my key in the car while it was running. I didn't think that was possible.
Did you try in a garage? Or his tip is to park your passenger side next to a wall. That is were the chirp buzzer is. Subaru moved it back left to be closer to the hatch locking/pin button and now drivers can't hear it activate exiting their door! It's called the "Suby push/pull" Supposedly your dealer can increase (very little) the volume on your next service.
Very strange but there is no video shows how you can leave the key fob inside and able to lock the doors at the same time. My forester 2024 do not allow that.
I was wondering the same question and I just tried it on my Crosstrek. I opened the driver side door then held down the lock button on the fob and press the unlock button twice. All doors did lock and I was able to shut the door without the doors. Unlocking
What is the maximum number of presses allowed for the code? A 1-2-1-2-1 is pretty easy to decode. If you can use 9 or more for each digit, it increases the difficulty to just keep trying all the codes in succession.
Question: on a long road trip coming up, I want to leave my 2017 Forester running with AC on for my dog AND locking the car while I run to the bathroom! How do I do this? Thanks!
You first have to put the key in sleep mode. Using the key fob, click the lock button and simultaneously double click the unlock button. Then you can lock the key inside the car by clicking the lock button on the door. Make sure you have a spare key handy or you're comfortable inputing your pin code before you lock the key inside.
I put it in sleep mode I push any button on the fob and it comes out of sleep mode to set the code I push the lock on the fob, oops! It's out of sleep mode and Confused along with me.
I bought a 2018 subaru legacy limited and automatically assumed that I would be able to leave it running when it's super hot outside since my goldendoodle goes everywhere u go.

I've been trying to set a pin code on my 2024 forester, and it's just not working. The second I hit the lock button on the fob I get a quick beep and the tail lights flash. Then I'll hold both buttons together for up to 20 seconds, and nothing happens. I don't get any kind of chirp. And for some strange reason, the radio in my car eventually comes on if I keep trying to set it. Anyone got a clue as to what's going on?
I have a 2024 forester. The process is different then explained in the video. You dont hold both lock and unlock on the fob. You press and hold the lock on the FOB and press and hold the door button. After the beep you hold unlock button till the chirp. Then 30 seconds to enter the 5 digit code then add the fifth digit a second time. Its on page 122 in the owners manual.
@@mattsbrute Thanks for the explanation. I had found the manual's explanation confusing, which is why I started watching videos. I'll give it another try.
Yes, the pin code access is on all of the new models but many 2015 and newer have it as well. Just has to have the push button start key fob in order for this to work.

Try operating it in a noisy parking lot. You look like an idiot counting under your breath while pressing your cheek to the glass hoping to hear anything. How about discontinuing electronic fobs and making a mechanical key required by law. I ended up in a stream once trying to rescue an animal and not being able to drive because the fob shorted out. It was a long walk out of the woods to the main road from the wildlife preserve. It was midnight in January 2020 by the time I got to the state garage. The next day the car was towed to the garage, I rented a truck and brought it home. Around $500 later for 2 fobs plus programming I was ready to go. Very convenient, at least the dog survived, after he bit me.
I may not be understanding the key fob shorting out situation. I don't know if it was available in 2020, but wouldn't today's removable emergency key from the fob work in that situation?
Yes, having the ability to include the "0" digit would greatly increase the number of potential codes, thereby increasing the degree of security. As actually designed and installed, the current system allows "only" 9,999 available pin codes. The problem comes with the input device for entering the code initially and activating the code. One probably can't enter a "0" digit into the system with a spring loaded SPST push button, which can only send data into the system as an "On" pulse or an "Off" pulse. It would probably require a "10 key" numerical data pad, and perhaps a more sophisticated program and chip (both of which cost money) to add in the ability to use the "0" digit in the pin code. The current system has the benefit of being relatively cheap in terms of parts and program. While 9,999 potential pin codes is not a lot of permutations in the world of digital security, it probably is enough to discourage an dissuade the casual thief.
That should be 99,999 potential pin codes. I blew over the info about 5 digit PIN code as contrasted to the nore common 4 digit PIN codes. Sorry, my bad.
So I have tried - my car will only allow me to enter 2 numbers upon entering the 3rd number the lights do not flash and there is no beep- I have also followed the manual instructions and am unsuccessful- please help
