Our service department in Santa Clara can replace a Subaru key fob battery in a short time.

Also, you should let them know if you have a brand new key with a remote start feature or an immobilizer.

If you’ve never experienced a problem with your key battery or the power locks on your car function but not properly, it could be something else. If the key is turning further than it used it, you might need a new ignition coil.
The majority of modern Subaru keys come with an immobilizer to prevent your vehicle from being started by a key that was stolen or with a key that isn’t programmed to the vehicle. The immobilizer is a small microchip on the key that transmits a message to the vehicle that it is a valid key. This helps to avoid theft and other issues. If you require a replacement Subaru key with an immobilizer, our #StockerSubaru dealership recommends obtaining a basic key that doesn’t have a transmitter.

Key duplication
Key duplication is the process of making an identical copy of a key. It is possible to duplicate a regular metal key at any local hardware store or locksmith with the equipment needed. You can also duplicate it yourself with a drill or the file. You’ll require a key that’s the thickness of the key you originally used (or one that is thicker) and a key blank that is in the style you’re looking for. The key is put on one side of the duplicator, and a blade that cuts into the blank creates a duplicate. The key is then sanded in order to create a smooth finish.
Files are the more traditional method, however it’s not as efficient and could require patience to obtain an exact copy. If you’re using a files, make sure the teeth of the file are more rounded than sharp, so that they won’t break the lock cylinder. You can also use a drill when you don’t have a key cutter, however it’s more difficult and time-consuming than using a file.
A lot of modern cars have security features that make them difficult to duplicate. Some cars come with keys that are equipped with a chip. The key sends a signal when the correct key is close. If your car needs chipped keys, go to a locksmith instead of trying to duplicate it at home.
