KeylessOption Key Fob Replacement for 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Subaru Impreza WRX Forester XV Crosstrek Outback Legacy Keyless Entry Remote, 4-Button CWTWB1U811 4D82 Chip Blade

I actually ordered this key blank in March of 2018, but I was finally able to actually use it now in May of 2023. Back in 2018 when my '17 WRX was a relatively new car, every locksmith I called would immediately respond with "Nope!" as soon as I gave them the Make Model and Year. So the fob sat in a drawer for 5 years and I, fortunately, managed to avoid losing my only car key for that whole time. Fast forward to today, now that the car is old news, and it was a cakewalk getting this working. Found the fob again, checked the battery (it was good!) and called my local Batteries Plus about cutting and programing. For $85 out the door, they got the key cut and working just like it was OEM. $135 for a spare key vs dealership cost makes this a slam-dunk choice. Really pleased that I was able to get this done after such a long time, hence the review. One piece of advice, if you plan on taking the Batteries Plus route make sure you call around if there are multiple in your area. One location quoted me almost twice as much as what I ended up paying.

Purchased two of these and had them cut at a local locksmith, they will start the car, however, the fob portion does not work. The locksmith was unable to program them, so I made an appointment at Subaru who was also unable to program them. I cannot lock the car now because I can't get back into it without setting the alarm off. I'm now out the money into the keys, and twice into programming the keys to have them not work. Additionally, the phone number to call with problems is not a valid number.

Works great for my 2015 forester, needed to have it professionally programed by a local company for $75 but still a lot cheaper than getting a spare from the dealership, even though they only gave me one key when I bought it 😒

Does not work with 2014 forester, and the buttons feel like absolute trash. So glad I tried programming it first before I paid for it to be keyed. Does not connect to the car at all.

Item came exactly as described. My locksmith when I arrived at his shop was happy to see that the pin codes were included as many aftermarket keys do not. He recommends that customers purchase keys from this manufacturer as they include the pin codes and are quality key fobs. He cut the keys in 5 minutes and had them programmed in 30(we talked quite a bit probably would have been done in less than 15). They work great in my 2016 Forester and I would highly recommend them.

Fob would not program. Key would start the ignition, but keyless entry would not work. Still put out 315 hz but would not program keyless entry.

Could not program the remote...several attempts with XTOOL Scanner. Deleted the remote on the original Subaru key and reprogrammed w/o any issues. This Amazon key is correct for a 2014 Subaru Forester...but the remote is bad.

I wanted to get an extra set of keys for our Subaru's. Most chip-key duplication services can't make Subaru keys. I checked out several firms. Many thought they could, but could not. Some said they could if I could get the blanks, and they could not either. Some had very high charges, greater than $150. The answer: KeylessOption and Batteries Plus! KeylessOption helped me get the exact correct key/fob for my Subaru's. This was not a trivial task. Many of the lookup/cross reference services did not identify the correct keys for my cars. The trick is to use the FCC ID number. With it KeylessOption was able to get me what I needed. Batteries Plus has a new system that can duplicate Subaru keys. They charged me $40 to cut and program a key. Their prices for keys/fob's are pretty high. KeylessOption cab get you the right key and at a good price. In the end I was able to get working keys for my cars at a total price of $80 each, which is about 1/2 of my other options. A big thank you and my highest compliments to KeylessOption. They helped make this project a success. Without them this project would have failed.
