Key production for Subaru cars

Description

Manufacture of Subaru keys

You can turn to a specialist to make a duplicate car key if your key has broken, worn out, been lost or stolen. A professional can help in the event of a lockout. One of the following types of material can be used to produce the blade on which the unique pattern will be created with the help of a machine tool:

steel (duplicate wears out over time and requires replacement);

brass (keys made of brass are considered to be versatile and have a long service life);

silver-nickel alloy (such a product is quite expensive but has an excellent service life).

Options for making duplicate Subaru keys

After the blade has been manufactured, the Subaru immobiliser chip is programmed by a specialist. Depending on the specifics of the situation, one of three possible ways of carrying out this procedure is chosen:

via the diagnostic connectors (usually OBD2);

via the immobiliser’s working memory;

by means of chip copying.

Depending on the vehicle model and year of manufacture, programming from the immobiliser working memory shall be carried out if it is present, as well as in the case of a BCM or an ECU, dashboard or antenna. The vehicle must be delivered when unlocking the vehicle and if programming of the immobiliser chip is carried out via OBD2, as special devices must be connected.

A master key is often required to create a copy of the key/chip, but the car itself may also be required, depending on the model and year of manufacture. If necessary, a specialist will make a Subaru key to match the lock. The reproduction is based on the core of the lock, which contains many secret elements. So, you can order a steel key (a cheap and versatile option), a duplicate in a plastic case (convenient to use, but the upper part wears off over time), a key with a smart card. The last type of Subaru key is considered to be relatively new – it is only used on models with a special security system.
