2023 Subaru Impreza Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Guide

Important Notice: The 2023 Subaru Impreza does not support onboard programming for its smart key remote fob. This process requires the use of specialized diagnostic equipment and must be completed by a qualified automotive technician.

Programming Instructions:

• Step 1: Arrange service with a certified technician or authorized provider who has experience with smart key programming and access to the necessary diagnostic tools.
• Step 2: If your vehicle is operational, consider driving it to the technician’s facility. This can often help reduce service costs compared to mobile appointments.
• Step 3: Upon arrival, the technician will connect diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s onboard system to initiate the programming session.
• Step 4: Using secure software, the new smart key remote fob will be electronically paired with the vehicle’s entry and ignition systems.
• Step 5: After programming is completed, the technician will test all key functions—including lock, unlock, and engine start—to ensure proper operation.

Additional Notes:

• If no working keys are available, you may be required to present proof of vehicle ownership before programming begins. Some systems may require all existing remotes to be present during programming to retain their functionality. It is recommended to work with a technician experienced in smart key systems to avoid compatibility or setup issues.
