Subaru Car Key Solutions And How They Work
We handle everything from emergency entry to advanced Subaru key programming, using non-destructive methods wherever possible.
- Non-destructive vehicle unlocking
- We use specialist lock-picking tools and methods designed for Subaru locks to gain entry without damage wherever possible. In rare cases where drilling or component removal is unavoidable (e.g., severely damaged locks), we’ll explain the options and costs before proceeding.
- Subaru key replacement and cutting
- We cut new Subaru keys on-site, including laser cut car keys and high-security profiles. We can create a new key even if you don’t have the original. For many models, we can generate keys from the lock or via immobiliser data.
- Subaru key programming
- Using dealer-level equipment, we perform Subaru transponder key programming and smart key programming. We connect via OBD2 for most models and can carry out EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming on systems that require deeper access.
- Key fob repair and replacement
- We fix or replace faulty Subaru remote fobs, including shell replacements, button pad repairs, and dead car key battery replacement. If the fob hardware has failed, we can supply and program a new remote.
- Ignition and lock repairs
- If your Subaru key won’t turn, or sticks in the ignition, we can diagnose worn wafers, a failing barrel, or key wear. We provide Subaru car lock repair, ignition switch repair, and—if needed—replacement, matching new locks to your existing key where appropriate.
- Security and diagnostics
- We use OEM-level diagnostics to pair keys to your Subaru’s immobiliser, clear fault codes, and verify that the immobiliser and central locking systems are operating correctly. Where relevant, we can advise on anti-theft key programming and practical vehicle security upgrades.
Our mobile units are fully equipped, so most jobs are completed roadside or on your driveway in a single visit.

Our Subaru Key Programming Approach
Subaru models use transponders and smart systems that must be matched to the immobiliser. We tailor our approach to your vehicle’s year and system:
- OBD2 key programming
- For many models, we can add or delete keys via the OBD2 port, including programming new smart keys and remote fobs.
- EEPROM and ECU/immobiliser programming
- On certain generations or where all keys are lost, we may need to safely access or remove the immobiliser unit to read/write data. This is a specialist task that we handle with precision tools and anti-static procedures.
- Remote central locking sync
- We ensure the remote locking works seamlessly, performing remote pairing and range testing after programming.
- Security data management
- Where supported, we can erase stolen keys from the system to prevent unauthorised starting—valuable for lost or stolen key scenarios.
If your key fob has suddenly stopped working, see our guidance on a key fob not working, or contact us for a quick diagnosis.

FAQs
Can you make a new Subaru key without the original?
Yes. We can generate a new key from your Subaru’s locks or immobiliser data. For many models, we programme keys via OBD2; for some all-keys-lost cases we may use EEPROM/ECU programming. We’ll advise the best route for your vehicle.
My Subaru key fob is not detected and the car won’t start. What should I do?
First, try holding the fob close to the start button or steering column—some Subarus have an emergency start position if the fob battery is weak. If it still won’t start, the fob battery or the transponder pairing may be at fault. We can test, replace the battery, and reprogramme the fob if needed.
How long does Subaru key programming take?
Many jobs are completed within a single visit—often under an hour for add-on keys. All-keys-lost, EEPROM work, or complex smart systems can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe on arrival.
Can you delete a stolen Subaru key from the system?
Where the immobiliser supports it, yes. We can erase missing/stolen keys and programme new ones, improving security so the old key can’t start the car.
Will you damage my Subaru when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If your lock is severely damaged or a component has failed, we’ll explain any rare exceptions before work and agree the best solution.
Do you cover my area?
Yes. We are based in Twickenham and cover the TW postcode area including Twickenham, Teddington, Hampton, Whitton, St Margarets, Isleworth, Hounslow, Richmond, Sunbury-on-Thames, Shepperton, Feltham, and more. See the areas we cover across TW postcodes.
