    These were "exactly" the right instructions. I'd spent close to an hour attempting to follow the key fob manufacturer's lengthy directions for programming the remote without any luck. This took no more than a couple of minutes. Wonderful job...thank you!!

    Your instructions are much simpler than the manufacturer's instructions, and they worked for my 2009 Subaru Forester. Thank you!

      2. How about if you replace the car battery?

    I finally figured it out!!! :))
    --IF YOU DON'T HEAR THE HORN SOUND AFTER TURNING KEY X10--TRY ROLLING DOWN YOUR WINDOW BEFORE YOU START THE PROCESS. IN MY CASE, THE SPEAKER WAS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR, AND YOU CAN'T HEAR IT WITH THE WINDOWS UP.
    Story,
    I was honestly a bit relieved to hear that i wasn't the only person who was having the problem where you turned the key 10 times in attempts to get to the "activation mode". I also noticed that a lot of people were saying that if you don't hear the sound, then to proceed anyways (which is true). however, it actually was there the entire time...it's just on the exterior speaker of the car; and NOT THE INTERIOR.

    If you are having any trouble like i was it might be your trunk. I have 2 10 inch rockford fosgate subs in my 05 wrx and it knocked my trunk locking mechanism loose so i had to get it rewelded on. So it depressed it enough to show that all my doors were closed but not enough to where if i hit the lock button on my remote it wouldn't honk any more just showing flashing lights signaling it was still open and id just give the trunk a tap then it would flash again signaling it was locked. So i opened my trunk shoved a screwdriver through 1 side of the latch keeping the button depressed. Then gave the sytem program a try and it worked the 1st time after a week of trying.

    thank you so much!!! very important to turn the key on-off very fast. i tried several times, and finally it worked. another difference: you had chimes and green light on the dashboard, i had horn beeping. and another thing, that they did not explain, when you press unlock to program unlock, open-close driver door, then press lock, etc.
    my original remote only has unlock button working, and i failed to fix the lock button. well, it is important i have a spare that can unlock me if i lock the keys inside.

    Hi, this is an older video so I really hope you'll get this. I did this video a couple days ago exactly and
    It worked, but today I went to start my car and it wouldn't start. I then noticed it was in valet mode. I checked youtube as well as my user manual and it would not come out of valet mode. At first the new remote was still letting me lock and unlock, but now it's not even doing that and my power locks aren't working either. I have to physically flip the locks. I also hear a weird clicking noise in the on the passengers side. And there is a continuous honk. Not loud like the alarm, but similar to the honking in the video and it keeps happening every few seconds. I was hoping you might have an idea I could try so I wouldn't have to get my car towed to Subaru. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I know this has worked for so many people but I am struggling here hard! I know the FOB works because I got it from a reputable source that I've purchased ones for other cars in the past (plus, I've now tried three different FOBS - at this point I should just hire a locksmith but now I'm determined!). I have an '09 forester. I get all the right beeps and sounds but the remote just doesn't work. I'm wondering if there's some setting I turned off somewhere that disables any FOB access? Something to do with the alarm maybe? Open to any and all ideas! Thanks!

    Hey folks! Question: Can I follow the same steps in this video for a fob that used to work but suddenly doesn’t? Every once in a while it simply won’t work- almost as if another signal is canceling it out. The battery is brand new. Usually it lasts a few hours, but today it was all day. The alarm goes off when I open the locked car with a key. Should I try this video’s approach, even though the fob isn’t new? I’m afraid I’ll mess something up and the alarm will go off without stopping or that the alarm will sound in the middle of the night or something ! Is it worth a try, or is this video only relevant for brand-new fobs only? Thanks!!!!!
