I need a new key for the forester and I was wondering what the cheapest option is?

Can you get a key cut and then get a new immobiliser remote separately? I heard genuine subaru keys are like $300?

yeah subaru quoted me $300 for a new key with the immobiliser.

surely you can buy a set of new aftermarket key fobs cheaper than that though?

not to sure, i could get the key for about $100 but then that would just open the doors manually, but then i need to turn the immobiliser off so its kind of pointless. wouldnt mind knowing some options as well as i only have 1 key and its falling apart

In the US they have spare remotes on ebay.

Not sure if these will work here?

im not sure how the programming would work though, linking the car to the remote. would have thought it would need to be done by subaru

Correct as they need to match the signal code which comes
on that little silver plate that comes with your key.

They will still charge you an arm and a leg probably!

silver plate? i dont have one of those. couldnt you match it yourself though?

Why do you only have one key?? I would be asking the dealer/person you bought it off where the other one is...
