Default Replacement key can't start car

Hi,

Ok so my key has always been a bit dodgy and took a couple of hard presses to unlock my car/disable immobiliser. However now it will no longer unlock the car. I can get in the car with the key but cannot start it due to the imbolsier.

I'm not 100% it is the key however I never got a replacement key so going to bite the bullet and get a spare one anyway.

My question is tho I won't be able to take the car to the garage/dealer can they make me a new key based on my old key if I took that in?

Also how much are dealers charging for a new key

It's 2005 blob eye imprezza

may be in the cars paper work or If you do not have the current PIN, then option A is your best solution. However if you do not have a working Radio Key, then you will have to use option B and obtain the systems PIN code from Subaru (UK). Your dealer can obtain this for you if you can provide proof of ownership and the alarm systems 16-digit serial number.

I have heard rumor of a sticker somewhere in the car (but i never found it)
