- Lots of errors and frustration led me to make this video. I hope this helps you! Here is a link to the written instructions program.remotesandkeys.com/20... Read them through before watching this video and familiarize yourself with the process.

I have a 2008 Forester and couldn’t get the fob to program. I watched other videos and they didn’t help. This video is legit! Thank you!
Thanks for the nice comment - glad it helped!
Hey, this totally worked for me! I tried 4 other videos and this was the first one to work - so thank you!
Worth mentioning that my car is an 06’ impreza and didn’t honk or beep at any point during this process. Also, good tip with removing the key from ignition when trying the fob for the first time.
Thanks again! Saved me from having to pay the dealership $90 to program it. ✌️
Yippee! I love that this video is helping so many people!
You saved me. My fob came with terrible instructions. I hope all of your dreams come true. :)
Always dreaming big! Wishing you the very best too!
Thank you for the thorough walk through. I've programmed 4 cars/ fobs now for our shop, and I keep coming back to this vid to make sure I don't miss any steps. You rock!
And you haven't gotten sick and tired of hearing my voice? Hahaha! Happy I could help (:
I also have a 2008 Forester. Reading the Subaru Owner's Manual was helpful, but a bit intimidating. This video was immensely helpful in simplifying the process. To all readers: Skip the Manual and just do exactly what she tells you - easy-peasy! Thank you!
Thanks for the kudos! So happy to help so many people save time and a big headache after spending days trying to figure it out myself.
Thank you very much for this video!!! Just had to do this to my daughtes 08', the directions were atrocious but your video had me up and running in 2 minutes. Thank you.
Yipee!! 🎉
Thank you so much! My sister and I have been struggling with our key fob for some time now. We spoke w different mechanics, key technicians and watched tons of videos but unfortunately nothing worked. You’re video was so clear and explained everything step by step I finally got it to work today on my 2006 Subaru Foresters and I could not be happier. This video is the best one ever! Thank you!
I am so happy that this video is helping so many people! After two days of trying to figure it out and then finally getting it, I knew I needed to share the love! Have a great day Dalai (:
Thank you. Was getting so frustrated because it wasn’t working and it was all because I didn’t pull the darn key out at the end. Thank you!
Glad it helped! It's always that one little thing, right?
God bless you!!! I was pulling my hair out and I almost got ripped off over $200 to have a place do this for me. You made my day!!!❤
Woo hoo! Glad I saved you and your hair 🎉
Terrific - thanks so much! Very clear & concise instructions.
Glad it was helpful!
Yes! Thank you so much! I was so frustrated because it wasn't working until I watched your video! Thank you so much for your video of all the details!!!! I had missed the second open and close of the door.
I also was trying to test it with my key in the ignition, so thanks for that detail, too!!
You're welcome!! I'm so happy that my video helped (:
Wouldn’t have done it without the help of your video!!!!! Thank you!!
Glad it helped! Happy Subaru-ing!
Best explanation I’ve found! Leave it to a woman to explain it well. Thank you! I was floundering before this video!❤
Glad it helped sister!!
Thank you so much, your video help me do mine. I could not hear, I don't hear well and my hearing aids could not pick up the sound,s and got frustrated. by opening the windows I could hear it. You are the best!!!
Oh I'm so happy that it helped you!!
You are incredible. I watched other videos and nothing worked. Followed your instructions and it worked the first time. I would love to buy you a coffee or beer to say thanks!
Love your accent. Thanks for the help. I didn't open the door after the 10 turns.
I love that this is helping so many people (:
This worked amazing on the first try.. My wife's 06 forester was driving us nuts with the alarm going off.. Thank you so much
You're welcome!
This just saved me a headache, thank you ma’am!!!
YAY! Go enjoy the rest of your day (:
Thank you! The way you did it makes WAY more sense than the little piece of paper that came with my key fob! Hopefully you still have your Subie!
We do still have it - still going strong. Glad the video was helpful (:
Thanks for the video. Saved me alot of time and frustration.
Happy to help!
This is definitely not the first time I've had to reprogram a key fob. But all of the instructions that I read besides the actual owner's manual leaves out opening the door after cycling the key 10 times. That was the special step that was missing. So thank you because it's really cold outside right now and I had been stuck a couple places before because my alarm would go off in my car wouldn't start
Glad you weren't stuck out in the cold too long Sarah (:
Thank you so much! Your directions worked like magic!❤
Yipee!
Thank you. This helped me so much!
You are very welcome (:
Thanks for your video. It was a lot of help.
Happy New Year - You're welcome!
Thank you so much for making this video!!! I watched several others 1st & it didn't work but it also seemed like info was missing. Watched your video & BOOM! programmed & yes they were missing steps
You're welcome! My little contribution to save sanity (:
thanks so much I was not opening the door you sure did save me time
You are so welcome. I'm happy that my video helped (:
Thank your video really helps me
So glad it helped!
best video yet, because it worked! all the other videos are not correct. thank you sweet lady!
You're so welcome! Looks like it was a much needed video!
I was pulling my hair out! I had done it right but left the key in the ignition while I was testing it. Thank you!!!
I feel that frustration! Glad I could help (:
I can't believe this actually worked for me. You should have seen us about 5 years ago with the same car.....lol!!! Well it worked but neither fob i got works. The beeps and everything are good but no dice. We'll see if this ebay company responds lol
I was successful pulling this off with the exact remote key fob but it was pretty brutal! It did not take me almost 2 hours like you but it took me over an hour and I had to keep referring back to the instructions that came with the remote, your video and a few other videos. It just wasn’t working as expected and I had to make a few modifications. First thing to consider is the speed that you’re turning the K on and off 10 times. It took me probably a half an hour just to get through step one in here that initial beeping from my computer. Even though it said to turn the key on and off 10 times in under 15 seconds the only way it worked for me was to turn the key on and off super fast. The next step was the same process you and the direction said about locking the door the amount of times the code said and then unlocking to set each number. Still I must’ve done it 40 or 50 times before I realized I had to wait for a long beat for 30 seconds followed by 3 beeps AFTER I entered the 8 numbers the 2nd time. After I heard that 30 second beep and the final 3 beeps I was relieved to think it’s finally going to work BUT it’s didn’t INITIALLY 😂😢😮 I even got out of the car and tried it a few more times but nothing. Then when I got back in my car to start the process I realized I needed to jumpstart the car from draining the battery. Not until after I jumpstart the car and by mistake hit the unlock button did it work! Yay! Still, anybody reading this comment and following the directions above you may have to modify one part of the process and that is how fast you turn the key on and off 10 times. The directions say to just do it under 15 seconds, and this nice woman that made the video didn’t seem to do it fast at all, but I need it to turn the key at a pretty high rate back-and-forth 10 times and then open the door before I got that initial beep to start programming. I’m just happy it worked because they charge a lot 😂
I looked back at the video and although it doesn't seem like it, it only took me 7 seconds to turn the key on and off 10 times. I remember it being very stressful, for sure. And you actually drained your battery? Yikes - what an ordeal. Glad it finally worked for you (and so many other people).
@@DebCupples your video was great but I probably tried 500 or 600 times and do it and it didn’t work. I followed the exact directions that came with the fob, I followed your directions, I followed directions from other CZcams channels, and then I started to modify the directions a little bit to see if it would work. I was absolutely doing it the way I professional would do it after two days of attempting it but it just not work on my car. It was the Key Fob not my technique.
This was super helpful thank you. 🎉
You're welcome!
🎉🎉🎉it worked!! Thank you so much!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
WOOOOOOOO! So happy it helped!
So incredibly helpful thank you!!
So happy that my video helped you!
Thanks for posting this! 👍🏼
You're welcome!
Deb you are an absolute diamond. Many many thanks for this idiot proof demonstration. I thought I was at least semi-intelligent but trying to do this on my 2009 WRX-S was proving impossible and I was starting 'punch glass' too. Luckily I found your video and have brought my original key back to life. Thanks again and very best wishes from the UK
You're so very welcome! Thanks for the nice comment (:
Thanks, great demo.🙂
Glad it helped!
Bless. You.
The instructions just say to alternate between the lock and unlock for entering the numbers, rather than using the unlock as an enter between entering the numbers with the lock button.
I'm so happy that my video was helpful!
OPEN THE WINDOWS!!! Thank you so much, I was going crazy because I didn’t hear any chirps!
Glad I could save your sanity (:
You are my hero
I'm here to be helpful!
Thank you 🙏🏾
You are so very welcome, my friend 😊
Thanks I did it good bless you I have ah Subaru Forester 2006
Glad the video was helpful!
Worked for me on my 08 forester! First try. The other method where you do the same thing but open the door hit the lock button on the fob then open the door again and hit the unlock did not work for me. My car didn’t chirp like the other video it has this alarm sounding beep which you talked about. Thanks!
Oh my garsh, thank you!
(: You're welcome!
Tried everything you said and the sequence accepted the code, but I have one question about your Subaru. Was it manufactured in Mexico or Japan. My replacement key fob doesn't work on Japanese MFG Subarus apparently. Thx
Hi Bill, I don't know where ours was manufactured. Sorry your fob doesn't work.
THANK YOU ( x 1000)
🎉You're welcome!
So both of my key fobs not locking my doors I reprogramed both and still don’t work is it the car or do I just gotta buy a new key fob
Hm, not sure. It's pretty inexpensive to replace them yourself - I would give it a try. This is the one I purchased: a.co/d/7wn5gTQ
Awesome
THANKS 😊
Thank You!!!!!
You're welcome!
Thanks!
You're welcome 😊
I love you
XO - happy to help!!
This lady walked so we could run 🫡
We're all in it together, friend!
I had zero luck receiving the correct fob online so I just Learned how to disable the alarm system. Now I just use the key and I don’t have to worry about the alarm going off 🤷♀️
This video is to help you program the fob.
Iam gonna try ur system A.S.A.P
God fucken bless
Best comment so far! Glad to be helpful friend (:
