Subaru key fob/keyless entry can be confusing at first. In this video, I show you how to use your Subaru key fob along with some tricks I have learned on Subaru key fobs. Some of these tricks include how to put your Subaru key in sleep mode, how to wake up your Subaru key after it's been in sleep mode, how to lock your Subaru key inside your car, how to start your Subaru with a dead key fob battery, how to replace your Subaru key fob, and more!

What I learned: 1. Top button locks, 2. Star cluster unlocks. 3. Click the lock button 3 times to help find the car. 4. Star cluster once unlocks driver side. Star cluster several times unlocks all the doors. 5. I don't need to go to the dealer to replace the battery in the fob, it is easy enough to do myself. 6. Click and hold liftgate button for it to automatically open. Click and hold for the liftgate to automatically go down. 7. The driver door unlocks as I approach the car if I have the fob with me--no need to push the button on the fob.

@christopherhanna7379 7 месяцев назад

You missed the feature that when you approach the vehicle, if equipped, the Subaru logo in your side mirrors lights up, illuminating the door handle as well as the interior map lights. This doesn't auto unlock the car, it turns on the door handle tap feature. If you touch the door handle it unlocks the driver door only. If you hold the handle for a second(s) it unlocks the passenger side door after unlocking the drivers door. If you happen to try to open the locked rear door, and then hold the driver door handle, it will unlock the rear door behind the driver's door. Neeeeeaaaaat toe!!

At night when I finish driving and lock the car, the headlights stay on for a while, but a second "lock" press turns them off immediately. 2. Outside "courtesy" lights come on when I approach the car with the fob. 3. Driver's door handle unlocks driver's door onlt. Passenger door handle unlocks all doors. Thanks again for all the tips.

My favorite function on the key fob is the feature that lets you stop the lift gate part way up by pressing the lift gate button as it is opening. It is very handy when you have a kayak or something else on the roof which prevents the lift gate from opening all the way. If you stop the lift gate as it is opening, you can still gain access to the rear cargo space.

Hi Alex...I'm so glad I stumbled upon this video! I just bought a 2020 Outback Limited XT with the turbo engine and your video really helped me a lot. The salesperson wasn't very helpful...basically I bought the car, wrote a check and drove away. I was freaking out because I had no idea what I was doing, as far as the bells & whistles. I've just had this car since 12/26 and don't drive on a daily basis any longer since I 'm now retired. I'm so glad I found your channel. I'll be checking out more videos...I find reading the manuals overwhelming. My Subaru came with just 1 fob. I asked about a 2nd fob, but was told it only had 1???? Should I insist with the dealership? It really makes me nervous only having 1 fob. I've never had a car with the fob and push button start. I believe I'm going to love driving this Outback. I was surprised at how roomy the interior is. I feel like I'm in a living room, as opposed to my previous Toyota Carolla. One problem I'm having is judging how far to pull into my garage. Do you know of anything that may help me judge this correctly? Any suggestions are appreciated!

This video is extremely informative and helpful for going off grid for many months of car camping. Knowing the options you have is valuable. I plan to go on a six week car camping trip out West and will bring my spare key just in case I misplace/ lose the primary key. I believe if you don’t put the second key in sleep mode and wrapped in tin foil it could drain your battery. I’ve heard that by placing the key in tin foil it can’t communicate with the electrical/ battery. Hiding a second key is important as well. Just practice beforehand! Lol 😂

Hi Alex, great video as always. The only gripe I have with my FOB to my '22 Forester Touring is sometimes when the FOB is in my trouser pocket I accidently bump the FOB on something like the edge of my desk or counter top and the button for the tailgate is hit and the next thing I know I'm getting a phone call from one of my neighbors telling me my tailgate is up. This has happened several times.

Great video but, when you want to replace the battery you don't need a screwdriver to wedge the back off. In fact, DON'T USE A SCREWDRIVER! You could damage the fob. You just remove the key from its storage slot, turn it and slide it into the slot to the side of the smaller silver button that you see in the top of the fob under the hey head and the back pops right off.

Good info Alex. I did some car camping in my 2024 Outback wilderness last night. I slept in the rear with an air mattress! Fun! Anyway, once I was inside, I locked all the doors with my fob. Then, I wrapped the fob in tin foil to disengage fob to battery. When I woke up, I opened the rear side door manually and the panic alarm went off. I took the fob out of the foil and pressed the logo button to turn off. I guess I should have simply put the fob in sleep mode after locking the doors and when I woke reactivate it and press unlock. I wanted to make sure the doors were locked even though the fob was inside., question- if your driving and have all doors locked and get into a major crash where you don’t have the ability to take the lock off, does it do it automatically for ems to gain access? I appreciate all your videos. Also, I was going to get my windows tinted. Is it safe to get the windshield ceramic tint at 70 percent or is it even possible due to the eyesight feature?

If you need to replace the battery in the key fob, you don't need a screwdriver to open it. You can use the key shank to open it. When you pull the shank out, if you look where the shank comes out, there is a vertical slot, just left of center, that you can insert the shank in to, and then pry the top off to replace the button.

I accidently discovered that the open or close commands function even with the ignition off. This wasn't true with my 2014 Forrester. My concern with this issue is that someone could break into my 2024 OBW at night and could then open my garage door (with home access after that). Is there a way to "program" the garage door function to only work when the ignition is on?

@MF_UNDERTOW 4 месяца назад

I recently traded my VW GTI in for a Crosstrek. The only fob features I’m missing are the ability to roll down and roll up the windows using the fob. I have a bad habit of forgetting to roll my windows up before going into work and I live in a rainy climate. With the VW fob, I could double click and hold the lock button and it would roll the windows up and close the sunroof. Also, on hot days while approaching the car, you can double click and hold the unlock button to roll the windows down and let some heat escape before entering.
