Lots of errors and frustration led me to make this video. I hope this helps you! Here is a link to the written instructions program.remotesandkeys.com/20... Read them through before watching this video and familiarize yourself with the process.

Hey, this totally worked for me! I tried 4 other videos and this was the first one to work - so thank you! Worth mentioning that my car is an 06’ impreza and didn’t honk or beep at any point during this process. Also, good tip with removing the key from ignition when trying the fob for the first time. Thanks again! Saved me from having to pay the dealership $90 to program it. ✌️

Thank you so much! My sister and I have been struggling with our key fob for some time now. We spoke w different mechanics, key technicians and watched tons of videos but unfortunately nothing worked. You’re video was so clear and explained everything step by step I finally got it to work today on my 2006 Subaru Foresters and I could not be happier. This video is the best one ever! Thank you!

I also have a 2008 Forester. Reading the Subaru Owner's Manual was helpful, but a bit intimidating. This video was immensely helpful in simplifying the process. To all readers: Skip the Manual and just do exactly what she tells you - easy-peasy! Thank you!

This is definitely not the first time I've had to reprogram a key fob. But all of the instructions that I read besides the actual owner's manual leaves out opening the door after cycling the key 10 times. That was the special step that was missing. So thank you because it's really cold outside right now and I had been stuck a couple places before because my alarm would go off in my car wouldn't start

I was successful pulling this off with the exact remote key fob but it was pretty brutal! It did not take me almost 2 hours like you but it took me over an hour and I had to keep referring back to the instructions that came with the remote, your video and a few other videos. It just wasn’t working as expected and I had to make a few modifications. First thing to consider is the speed that you’re turning the K on and off 10 times. It took me probably a half an hour just to get through step one in here that initial beeping from my computer. Even though it said to turn the key on and off 10 times in under 15 seconds the only way it worked for me was to turn the key on and off super fast. The next step was the same process you and the direction said about locking the door the amount of times the code said and then unlocking to set each number. Still I must’ve done it 40 or 50 times before I realized I had to wait for a long beat for 30 seconds followed by 3 beeps AFTER I entered the 8 numbers the 2nd time. After I heard that 30 second beep and the final 3 beeps I was relieved to think it’s finally going to work BUT it’s didn’t INITIALLY 😂😢😮 I even got out of the car and tried it a few more times but nothing. Then when I got back in my car to start the process I realized I needed to jumpstart the car from draining the battery. Not until after I jumpstart the car and by mistake hit the unlock button did it work! Yay! Still, anybody reading this comment and following the directions above you may have to modify one part of the process and that is how fast you turn the key on and off 10 times. The directions say to just do it under 15 seconds, and this nice woman that made the video didn’t seem to do it fast at all, but I need it to turn the key at a pretty high rate back-and-forth 10 times and then open the door before I got that initial beep to start programming. I’m just happy it worked because they charge a lot 😂

I looked back at the video and although it doesn't seem like it, it only took me 7 seconds to turn the key on and off 10 times. I remember it being very stressful, for sure. And you actually drained your battery? Yikes - what an ordeal. Glad it finally worked for you (and so many other people).

@@DebCupples your video was great but I probably tried 500 or 600 times and do it and it didn’t work. I followed the exact directions that came with the fob, I followed your directions, I followed directions from other KZfaq channels, and then I started to modify the directions a little bit to see if it would work. I was absolutely doing it the way I professional would do it after two days of attempting it but it just not work on my car. It was the Key Fob not my technique.

Deb you are an absolute diamond. Many many thanks for this idiot proof demonstration. I thought I was at least semi-intelligent but trying to do this on my 2009 WRX-S was proving impossible and I was starting 'punch glass' too. Luckily I found your video and have brought my original key back to life. Thanks again and very best wishes from the UK

The other method where you do the same thing but open the door hit the lock button on the fob then open the door again and hit the unlock did not work for me. My car didn’t chirp like the other video it has this alarm sounding beep which you talked about. Thanks!
