2024 Subaru Solterra Smart Key Remote Fob Programming Instructions

Important Notice: The 2024 Subaru Solterra does not support onboard programming for smart key remote fobs. This process requires specialized diagnostic equipment and must be performed by a qualified automotive technician.

Programming Procedure:

• Step 1: Ensure your vehicle uses a smart key system with push-button start and keyless access. These systems require advanced tools for remote registration.
• Step 2: Gather all current remote fobs. Some systems may delete previously paired remotes during programming, requiring all to be present for reprogramming.
• Step 3: Schedule service with a technician who has the proper Subaru-compatible diagnostic tools necessary for key registration and vehicle pairing.
• Step 4: If the vehicle is driveable, consider bringing it to the technician’s location. Doing so may help reduce service fees associated with mobile programming.
• Step 5: Prepare documentation that proves ownership of the vehicle, such as the registration or title. This is typically required before the programming process begins.
• Step 6: The technician will connect a diagnostic interface to the vehicle’s onboard port and access the system’s security functions to begin programming mode.
• Step 7: The new smart key remote will be electronically added to the vehicle’s memory. If required, any additional remotes will also be programmed during this session.
• Step 8: After the process is complete, the technician will test all features of the smart key system, including lock, unlock, start, and trunk access, to confirm proper functionality.
