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.

@jerseyengineer 10 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!!

You missed a couple of things. 1. I leave my lights in "auto" mode. 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.

@Braymiller1 11 месяцев назад

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. A note about Eyesight stopping your car if you have something is Infront of you. In a parking garage I set up a cardboard box and drove toward it slowly . It did not stop and hit the box. I noted that the box was the same color as the floor of the garage and the cameras would not see it. So I got a different color box set up and as before drove toward it slowly . Eureka the car stopped before I got to it. A small fact you may not know.

The lock feature by just touching the groves on the door handle is so cool. I was so excited to see my 23 wrx has this feature. This feature is definitely one ill be using allot.

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.

It is perhaps the most annoying and distracting garbage ever perpetrated on a consumer. I’ve had it beep and tell me to keep my eyes on the road while looking for parking. I’ve had it startle me while driving very curvy roads in the mountains where your eyes are looking into the curve. Turned off it just comes back again; well, until you place electrical tape over the sensor! Now my auto adjusting seats won’t work.

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!

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.

To open the remote fob case, use the silver key and place it put it in the middle slot with the little silver dot on the remote (you will see the slot to open the remote case is the same size as the slot to put the key into the fob), place the slotted side of the key against the silver dot. - it pushes in about a 1/4" and you can pop it open.

Hi Alex. Great channel. I've learned a lot from the videos. TY. I have a question about a scenario that occurred. I'd parked my 2020 Outback. To ensure there was clearance for the car in front of me, I went out to check. Issue: the car automatically locked the doors while it was running. I had the FOB in my hand & was stuck with an idling car. "ACCESS Key not detected" was displayed on the dashboard. Fob had a fresh battery, buttons were not working, the actual key didn't open any doors & pincode wasn't taking. Yet the car was still idling. Had to call AAA & waited for 1.45 min. till 2A.M. What could have happened? 2nd time something like this happened. I need to learn what to do should this happens again. Your help is greatly appreciated and needed.

I bought my 2019 Ascent Premium: 1) for it's larger interior because of my family all ranging in height from 5'10'' to 6'5'; and 2) for it's 5,000lb towing capacity. Unfortunately for me, I was not aware that the trailer must have it's own braking system in order to tow up to that 5,000lb limit. I do not tow anything either recreationally or professionally, and therefore was not aware of that requirement. FYI...The Ascent Premium can only tow a trailer up to 1,000lbs if the trailer has no integrated braking system.

Thanks you for the informative video. I am curious, if we can start the car using remote?

The remote that comes with your Subaru won't be able to start the car. However, you can use the app (paid subscription) or you can purchase an OEM Subaru remote start key fob.

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 only wish the remote start was on the fob. The app is so cumbersome and I'm usually walking up to the car anyway when I want to use it. I do like being able to start it on a timer though... just have to remember.

How can you lock it and still have the car running? I travel a lot with my dog and like to keep the car running for her in the warmer months when I have to make quick stops. The app maybe?

Any tips how to keep the doors locked while pumping gas on the right side? 😅

Wish they had the PIN code for driver’s door like Ford equips their vehicles with. Should be so far advanced now that once you leave ur key fob in the car, u enter your PIN code to lock (it will automatically lock n ur key fob will go into sleep mode once u do this). Then, when u come back and enter ur PIN code, it’ll unlock and take ur key fob out of sleep mode simultaneously
