2020 Subaru Impreza Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Guide

Important Notice: The 2020 Subaru Impreza does not support onboard programming for its smart key remote fob. This procedure must be completed by a qualified automotive technician using specialized diagnostic equipment.

Programming Instructions:

• Step 1: Arrange service with a certified technician or authorized provider who has experience with keyless entry systems and the necessary programming tools.
• Step 2: If the vehicle is drivable, consider bringing it to the technician’s location rather than requesting mobile service, as this may lower overall service costs.
• Step 3: Once on site, the technician will connect diagnostic equipment to the vehicle’s onboard system to begin the programming process.
• Step 4: Using secure software, the smart key fob will be registered to your vehicle’s electronic system, ensuring proper communication with keyless entry and ignition features.
• Step 5: After programming is complete, all remote functions—including lock, unlock, and engine start—will be tested to confirm successful setup.

Additional Notes:

• You may be asked to provide proof of ownership if no working keys are available. Some vehicles require all remotes to be present during programming to maintain functionality. It’s important to work with a technician who is experienced with smart key systems to ensure compatibility and avoid programming issues.
