Greetings.
I just bought a 2003 Outback that came with just one key (and the remote keyfob). I took the key to the local hardware store to have a duplicate made, and the guy suggested that the key might have a chip in it, and if I put a duplicate without said chip into my ignition that it might disable the car. I've tried several Google searches and searches of this forum, and can't find any guidance on this.
Question: for a standard 2003 Outback (no security system, I believe), can I just get a regular duplicate key made, or do I have to get a special key with a chip in it from a dealer?
Thanks,
William
