    First off - the hatch open button on my fob only elicits 2 long beeps from the car. No sound from the hatch. The hatch does NOT open. However the round button on the hatch locks all doors, with one beep from the car. And the long hatch switch opens all doors opens all doors with 2 beeps from...

    My 2 FOBs are... well... weird. 2009 3.0R / LL Bean Automatic. One is just on the fritz. If I leave the battery in, it'll randomly send certain functions. At first it was lock which was fine, last time I woke up at 5am to the panic alarm. No idea what's going on there. FOB #1 mostly I can get...

    I am hoping someone can help me here. I searched this site and couldn't find an answer to this question, so I figured I would post it. I have a 2017 Subaru Outback with key fobs that we bought this year. Currently, the fobs are programmed for seat memory. I don't want this anymore and have...

    I recently purchased my Dad's 2000 Outback (it turned only 67K miles on the way home!). He could only find one fob for it, which was working fine. Since the part #'s on the fob model with gray buttons (like the original on the 2000) and later years with colored buttons were interchangeable, and...

    My 2022 Outback Onyx XT fob only locks with handle contact. Wife's works fine to lock or unlock. I can press the logo to unlock but otherwise cannot unlock. When I do make contact, I get the single locking "beep". Picked up car end of May and worked fine until about 2 weeks ago...

    I enjoy the copper colors on my wilderness but it feels weird the few chrome pieces that are left around the emblems and such. But the big one for me is the smart key. I want to at least change the color of the sides to a more copper color. It almost feels like the sides are metallic so could...

    I am dealing with some strange lock related issues. Recently I had a problem where my car would automatically lock itself if you attempted to unlock it using the key fob or the central locking button on the drivers panel. The issue went away a few days later. Then since a few days ago I was...

    I replaced the batteries in both my key fobs for my 2015 Outback Limited. Now one consistently moves the drivers seat back and down whenever I approach the car. I then have to click on the memory button each time I get in the car. How can I fix this?

    Just kidding. You should read the manual. But every now and then I'll post something I find particularly tasty that I've found out by reading my manual. Here's one: If you have keyless entry. When you approach the vehicle with a companion (husband/wife?), if the DRIVER reaches into the door...

    Our 2020 XT is kept in a multi-level public garage. Three times the garage attendants have found the car battery dead and now we've had to replace the battery entirely. Subaru service said keeping the key fob in the car is the cause of the drain (ie. the the fob is in "constant communication...

    Hello! I work at a fairly small, local hardware store where I'm responsible for our automotive ignition key and remote fob programming and I personally own a '14 WRX hatch. I'm in a somewhat desperate position but I'm not sure if anyone here has experience with this problem. Anyway, a...

    I’ve got a 2011 Outback and only received 1 key from the previous owner. I would like to have a second key in case something happens to the one I have. I’ve seen an older post on this, but didn’t really get a strong consensus. Has anyone had any luck cloning/ getting a working duplicate key made...

    I have a 2016 Outback 3.6R. It has the normal factory alarm with no changes to this. The car is currently locked, the anti-theft light is blinking showing that the system is activated, and neither the FOB or the mechanical key can open the door. I am not sure if it is related (likely is), but...

    New here. Have a 2004 Outback LL Bean H6 3.0 175K miles. Key fob opener opens and closes the doors and makes the chirp noise. However, the flashing lights only intermittently work. It’s annoying as you get used to Seeing the lights then bam. They are gone for a few months, then they come back...

    Does anyone have a hidden key on their Outbacks? I just realized I need one. If you lose your key, or opt to lock it in the vehicle, you have the PIN code. If you lock your key in the vehicle and the battery dies -- say you left it at a trailhead for a few hours or a few days, and you are out of...

    So, this is a weird issue I just encountered after the 504 update. I'm not sure if it's related or I never noticed it before... Here's what's happening step-by-step: 1) I pressed the unlock button on the key fob. 2) The door is unlocked as expected. 3) When I tried to open the door to get in...
