This is a terrific video….. But it would be wise to notify everyone first that if you change the keyless entry option to open all doors before, the PIN setup process will not work. Keyless entry has to be set to open driver door only. This is the best video I have found that explained the process so smoothly.

Thanks Evan. I've known about this feature but you've explained it well, including the fob deactivation.
@RichardM5454Ай бұрын
Evan, I just lock my Outback keys in the car by locking the electronic lock on drivers door, and close drivers door with handle open. The key fob just auto deactivates and when I unlock with the pin code I need to reactivate the key fob by placing next to start button. This is super easy !! Not too sure if Subaru has done software upgrade but this cuts out half your steps !

Great explanation of this feature, thank you for the video. I just went and set this up on our new 24 Outback. One thing that concerns me though. After opening the driver side door using the PIN code, the disabled key fob will still start the car by simply pressing it against the start button. If you try to use the key fob, it will tell you on the display of the center console that the key fob is deactivated.... However, if someone simply presses it against the start button, it will start the car and they can drive away. It's unfortunate that they're not required to know the procedure to reactivate the fob. Yes, I realize all that would have to happen for someone to actually do this but it is possible and I wish it was a bit more secure. It's really not much different than leaving a traditional key in your car in the sense that most people know to put the fob up against the start button if things aren't working right.

Very true. It's not a perfect system. That is one reason why I always suggest people hide their key very well inside the car to reduce the risk of someone breaking in and taking the car. Thanks for watching and commenting

I work late hours so whenever my vehicle is in for service, I pick it up after hours using my spare key. Then i have to go back during their business hours to pick up the key they have. I have asked them to just lock my key in the vehicle and they said it can't be done. I showed them this video and they still refuse. Seems like such a simple thing to do for customer service and convenience. Won't be buying another vehicle from that dealer.

Well, now my key is deactivated... How do I get it reactivated if it doesn't work after following the steps?
@scsubaruschoolwithevanАй бұрын
@@angelogarofalo4466 Do the same thing to reactivate as you did to activate. Drivers door should be unlocked, manually rotate the lock to the lock position, then hold the lock and trunk open button while holding the key inside the car until you hear a beep

You can use the MySubaru app to lock or unlock your Subaru if you have signed up the the Security portion of the Starlink services. I have it. I think it is totally worth it.

The only manufacture that offers a keypad is Ford. The have a patent on that feature. Nobody else can use it.
