Before the introduction of transponder keys, Subaru used traditional metal keys without chips for many of its early models. These mechanical keys do not require programming and can be easily duplicated or replaced with a properly cut key blank.

If you lose your Subaru mechanical key, a replacement can be obtained using the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number):
If the vehicle is too old to have a VIN record or if the ignition was replaced, the VIN may not match the key. In this case:
Subaru introduced transponder keys in 2005 as part of its enhanced security system. These keys contain a microchip that communicates with the car’s immobilizer system, preventing unauthorized engine starts unless the correct transponder signal is detected.
If you lose your Subaru transponder key, a replacement can be obtained using the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number):
If the ignition was replaced before, the VIN may not match the current key. In this case:
Subaru introduced laser-cut keys (also known as sidewinder keys) in 2008 to improve vehicle security. Unlike traditional metal keys, laser-cut keys have intricate cuts on both sides, making them more durable and harder to duplicate without specialized equipment.
If you lose your Subaru laser-cut key, a replacement can be obtained using the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number):
If the ignition was replaced before, the VIN may not match the current key. In this case:
Subaru introduced smart keys (also known as proximity keys) in 2013 to enhance security and convenience. These keys allow keyless entry and push-to-start ignition, using a wireless signal to communicate with the vehicle’s immobilizer system.
Push-to-start ignition systems rely on advanced electronics. If the system malfunctions, a locksmith cannot repair it. You will need an automotive electrician or dealership service. Repair costs range from $500-$1,500, depending on the issue.
Losing or needing a duplicate Subaru key can be stressful, but several options are available depending on your budget, convenience, and urgency. Whether you're looking to buy pre-cut keys online and program them yourself, visit a dealership or locksmith, or take advantage of a mobile locksmith service, here’s a detailed breakdown of your Subaru key duplication options:
One cost-effective method for key duplication is buying pre-cut Subaru keys online. You can find pre-cut traditional keys or even laser-cut and transponder keys based on your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). These keys generally cost between $50 to $150, depending on the type of key (traditional, transponder, or smart).
While traditional metal keys for older Subaru models can be used right away after cutting, transponder and smart keys require additional programming. For older models without transponder chips, DIY programming can sometimes be done by following online tutorials or using a key programming tool.
However, for most newer Subaru models with transponder chips or smart keys, professional programming is required. This is particularly true for models like the Subaru Forester, Outback, Legacy, and Crosstrek, which use advanced immobilizer systems.
Another option for duplicating your Subaru key is visiting a dealership or locksmith store. Dealerships have direct access to your vehicle's key code through the VIN, allowing them to cut and program the key to work seamlessly with your vehicle. Dealerships often charge between $200 and $500 for key duplication, depending on the type of key and programming complexity.
Locksmiths offer a more affordable alternative and can often provide key duplication and programming for a lower price than dealerships. Many locksmith stores are equipped with the same tools and software needed to duplicate Subaru keys, including transponder and smart keys. The cost for locksmith services typically ranges from $150 to $350, depending on the key type and model of your Subaru.
For ultimate convenience, you can also use a mobile locksmith service. Mobile locksmiths come directly to your location and can cut and program a new key on-site, saving you time and the hassle of towing your vehicle to a dealership or locksmith shop. This service is especially useful if you’ve lost all your keys or are locked out of your car.
The cost for mobile locksmith services typically mirrors in-store pricing, with key duplication and programming fees ranging between $150 to $350. Mobile locksmiths can duplicate traditional metal keys, transponder keys, and even smart keys, making it a flexible and convenient solution for Subaru owners.
