Subaru Key Replacement in Gaithersburg: Key Types
Subaru key styles vary by year and model. Some vehicles use a mechanical key, while others have an electronic transponder, remote buttons or a proximity system. We confirm the exact year and model by phone before arranging service, so you can discuss the key type your vehicle needs.
A replacement can involve more than cutting a blade. If your Subaru uses an electronic key, its chip or fob may also need programming. Our Xhorse key cutting machine is in the service van, and we program key fobs and smart keys at your car.
Metal keys
A traditional metal key has a cut blade that turns the vehicle’s lock or ignition. It does not have a remote built into the head.
Transponder chip keys
A transponder key has a chip that communicates with the vehicle’s immobilizer. The blade must be cut, and the chip may need programming for the car to start.
Remote-head keys
A remote-head key combines a physical key blade with buttons for functions such as locking and unlocking. The blade and remote may require separate cutting and programming steps.
Smart or proximity keys and key fobs
Some vehicles use a proximity key that the car detects while it is nearby; others use a separate fob for remote functions. The exact setup and programming needs depend on the Subaru’s year and model.
