The key for my Subaru Impreza RV 2002 has worn out. Key and remote lock still works. Just the key case is falling apart. I called my local Subaru dealer and they want $520 for a replacement key, cut coded and wireless lock.
Original key looks like this.
Been to a few local locksmiths and they want around
$130. Key only no wireless lock.
$130. Key cut and coded + wireless lock.
$180. Key cut and electronics trasnsfered.
Last place was one of the Mr Minit store for $89,99. Replacement key case, cut and electronics transferred Problem is its been 5 weeks since I placed the order and they still haven't got the blank in. So looking for alternative places to get a replacement key done for a reasonable price in Sydney area. Either key shell/case or flip case.
Since found AutoKeyMaster but not sure how good they are. Sent them the key details. Got a reply. Unfortunately they can only do a flip remote key and they want $195 to program and cut one.
ask your subaru community
i remember someone posting about this on the "wrx and sti owners australia" fb page.
if not, you have forums you might be able to look at if you dont get an answer here.
