How to Program Subaru Smart Key Fob | Crosstrek Outback Forester Ascent Impreza WRX STI
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- Update as of October 1st, 2024. This method no longer works. I was told by XTOOL that Amazon has forced them to remove the key programming functionality. Sadly, you will have to look elsewhere to solve this problem. If I learn of other solutions I will update the description.

We’ll cover how to program a new key for your Subaru and what you’ll need to do it. This should work with the Crosstrek, Outback, Forester, Legacy, Ascent, Impreza, WRX, and STI that have the smart key style that is shown in the video.

If you're interested in renting an Xtool D7, send me an email at jasper@diycarkeys.com (website coming soon). I'm starting a key programming tool rental service and I would love to give my RUclips viewers early access!

NOTE: The I have learned that as of the time of publishing the Xtool D7 can only program Subarus up to 2022. If you have a car made after 2022, I suggest emailing Xtool customer support to see if they support it.

Thank you for the video! Your directions worked perfectly with the Xtool D7. I decided to buy an Autel MK 808S because Amazon said it would program keys and because all the cool kids with automotive channels on RUclips seem to have Autel's. I could not make it work! I returned the Autel, got the Xtool D7, and it was easy! Lesson learned: follow the directions!
Just bought a 2019 Wrx Sti and it came with one key fob. I'm about to order a new aftermarket one and was wondering how to program it myself. Sucks you have to buy the xtool d7, but I might actually keep the box because it seems super handy. Very nice video and straight to the point. Awesome Job, Thanks!
Finally got the key in the mall. This worked for my 2015 brz. Thanks again!
Con que frecuencia y ID trabaja amigo?
I have a 2015 BRZ as well. Did you try the subaru program thing where you do the unlock button like a million times?
This video was so helpful, and it was easy to understand. Thank you!!!!!
Factory reset settings on unit itself. Activate it and install updates. I just did it after my xtool arrived without the key programming function. Just takes a few minutes. Just made 3 extra Subaru keys.
Excellent how to video with all information needed!
Thank you so much, worked perfectly!
Worked on my Mom's 2017 Outback 2.5 Limited.
tyvm!
Also take note, Subaru's after 2013 use 434mhz, be mindful as sometimes you can purchase a 433mhz key and it might not work
This is real helpful man!
Excellent presentation, a real money-saver.
Glad it was helpful!
Straight and to the point. Thanks for the help
Glad it was helpful!
Worked perfectly! Thank you
Love to hear it!
Super helpful
I have two old smart key fobs. They belonged to my 2021 Subaru Forester, that was totaled in accident. How do I know if the key is unlocked?
What are the steps to unlock a key from another car? (I want to swap a spare key from my old car to my new car)
hi, is there another model of xtool ( less expensive) that program a 2015 Forester car key.? Congrats for the video
This is the cheapest model that can program Subaru keys I could find.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
OMG, thank you! I just purchased a used 2016 Outback, replaced my 2012, and it only came with one key fob. Not good for me at all.
Nice - I have a 2016 Ouback too! This method worked perfectly for me.
will it work with a 2024 outback smart key? I have the xtool d7
I believe the D7 only works up to 2022, but I’d email Xtool to confirm.
got the xtool d7, got the correct blank/unprogrammed key, got a working key. The S/W interface is different with programming under 'imoblizer' and that kinda scares me because the one locksmith I talked with said you could easily 'brick' your computer. I emailed xtool support and they replied that the d7 could not program a 2023 subaru crosstrek so not I'm lost and not sure what to try.
any suggestions? thanks!
Sadly, if Xtool are saying it won’t work, I would not mess with it. 😞
@@Jasper-Tech Thanks for the reply, I'll keep an eye open in case someone with the newer S/W update has had any luck.
I want to purchase an unused fob. Did you say you had some places to purchase them? I'm looking through the comments

Hi! I could not do the final step to programm the key fob I got the message conection failed. I use the same device as you use...... Subaru Outback 2020
Hmmm. That is very odd. I’d try unplugging the device, cleaning the OBD port/connector with compressed air, and then trying again. If that fails, reach out to Xtool (xtoolofficial@hotmail.com) with all the details and hopefully they can help you.
Can we use SSM4 to program it?
Is it possible to convert an old subie key to this particular kind? Mine is an 08 wrx hatch and it comes with a key with 3 buttons on it.. Hoping I can change to this style
Sadly this is not (easily) possible
@@Jasper-Tech It's sad indeed..
Is there anyway to unlock a key that has been programmed to a previous car
There is a way, but for that you need another device that is capable of resetting the actual key itself (not just the car). Those devices tend to be a lot more expensive.
X Tool D7 Wiil NOT program fob on Subaru outback Touring XT (2022)
were you able to figure this out?
How do program push start button cars without using these tools?
Sadly, you can’t! Older cars used to be able to be programmed without any tools, but this has changed with modern cars. The reason is theft. The easier it is to program new keys, the easier it is for thieves to use the same techniques.
Apparently the 2024 version of the D7 won’t program keys 😢
REALLY?! this is tragic. Where did you hear this?
@@Jasper-Tech verify for yourself, but no such feature is listed in the user manual that came with the one I received today, nor was there any selection available on the unit. I was all stoked after watching your video too.
@rynochef I’m so sorry! I will reach out to them and ask. If this is the case I will be sure to update the video.
@@Jasper-Tech no apologies needed!
Looks like this isn’t compatible with a 22 Outback. Bummer
I’d reach out to Xtool just to confirm. From my experience their website is not always the most up-to-date, and their support team may be able to give you an idea of when ‘22s will be supported.
What if you only have a spare key because you lost your first key that was the original
I’m not 100% sure, but I’m pretty confident that if your spare key works you should be fine to use this method.
From D7 Xtool: 2022 Subaru Outback is not supported.
Thanks for letting me know! They may add it in the future 🤞
I couldn't connect Xtool D7 to my Subaru zoutback 2020.... I am getting message connection fsiled ,(😢
That’s frustrating:(
I’d contact Xtool to see if they can provide guidance. Keep me posted on how it turns out!
