2021 Subaru Impreza Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Guide

Important Notice: The 2021 Subaru Impreza does not support onboard programming for its smart key remote fob. A qualified technician must perform the programming using specialized diagnostic equipment.

Programming Instructions:

• Step 1: Contact a certified automotive technician or authorized service provider with experience in smart key programming. Ensure they have the proper tools to interface with your vehicle's electronic systems.
• Step 2: If your vehicle is drivable, consider transporting it to the technician’s location. This option may reduce service charges compared to mobile assistance.
• Step 3: Upon arrival, the technician will connect advanced diagnostic equipment to your vehicle's onboard system to begin the programming process.
• Step 4: The smart key remote fob will be registered using secure software, ensuring proper integration with your vehicle’s entry and ignition systems.
• Step 5: Once the procedure is complete, the technician will test all functions—such as lock, unlock, and push-button start (if equipped)—to confirm successful programming.

Additional Notes:

• If no working remotes are available, proof of ownership (such as vehicle registration or title) may be required before programming. Some systems may require all remotes to be present during the procedure to retain functionality. Always verify the technician’s experience with modern smart key systems to ensure accurate and secure programming.
