Default Replacing knackered keyfob (spare one)

Hi Everyone,

Hoping someone can help me here. My spare key has stopped working and even trying to reprogram it, it fails.

What are the options because some jokers (Ahem, Subaru) are asking multiple hundreds. I also have the pin code.

The car in question is a WRX 2007. Any help appreciated. Even the local locksmith doesn't seem to know.

Cheers.

Stu

Get an aftermarket CAT 1 immobiliser/alarm fitted for a few hundred quid and use the fobs supplied.

The circuit board inside the key is quite common to pack up.
You can buy them from a subaru dealer for about £30 then code it using the key pad.

Any idea where ? That would be useful even for a punt at £30.

Any subaru main dealer should stock them.
If not in stock they will be able to get you one for next day.
