SERVICE BULLETIN APPLICABILITY: 2000MY to Current, All Models SUBJECT: Replacement Key and Immobilizer Information NUMBER: DATE: Revised: 01-168-09R 06/17/09 04/25/13 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this bulletin is to provide replacement key and immobilizer information and to provide an overview of the Subaru Lock Information web-site. OVERVIEW OF THE DEALER-ONLY SUBARU LOCK INFORMATION SITE The Subaru Lock Information Site (SLIS) is located at http://lockinfo.subaru.com, and provides information on how to obtain immobilizer codes and key cut codes for Subaru vehicles from the 2000MY to present. This document identifies the equipment required to initialize (reset) the immobilizer code and cut the key blanks, for both immobilizer and non-immobilizer type keys. Subaru of America began using immobilizer systems in some 2005MY vehicles (please refer to Chart 2 on page 2 for more detailed information). KEY BLANK TYPES Subaru vehicles are equipped with either standard side cut keys or high security keys (see Chart 1 on page 2 for a detailed listing). All high security keys are equipped with an immobilizer device installed. Some standard side cut keys may or may not be equipped with an immobilizer device. Key blanks can be purchased through normal parts channels. The following page are examples of the Subaru key blank styles: There are many different styles of key cuts. Be sure to order the correct blank for your particular application and verify that your key cutting equipment is compatible. Master keys are shown below. 2005-2007 Legacy & Outback side cut key w/immobilizer (also available without immobilizer) 2008-2011 Impreza high security key w/immobilizer continued... CAUTION: VEHICLE SERVICING PERFORMED BY UNTRAINED PERSONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THOSE PERSONS OR TO OTHERS. Subaru Service Bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians ONLY. They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur in some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper servicing of the vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do the job correctly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that this Service Bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition.

WEB SITE ACCESS: AUTHORIZED SUBARU DEALERS Authorized Subaru Dealers can access SLIS through Subarunet (under the Service tab, or by directly following the URL http://lockinfo.subaru.com. Access to the immobilizer information will only be allowed for Subaru Dealership Service Managers and Parts Managers. Access will be granted by using the managers’ SMART user name. No other employees can access the Subaru Immobilizer Database. Note: It is the dealers’ responsibility to perform due diligence by entering or deleting employees in the SMART Dealer Employee Maintenance Database. This is especially true of Service Manager and Parts Manager position changes. Step by Step Process To Access the Site • Once on the SLIS home page, the Service Manager or Parts Manager will be asked for their SMART user name. At that time, if this is the first time he/she has logged on to the web site, the password “Welcome” should be used. He/she will then be prompted to create a new password (this will not change your current SMART password). • The Service Manager or Parts Manager will then be prompted to read the disclaimer and answer “accept” or “not accept”. If they answer “not accept”, the system will not let them access the immobilizer information. • A page will then be displayed, allowing for entry of the full 17 character VIN of the vehicle in question. • Provided the VIN is found in the database, the immobilizer Security ID along with the key/ cutting code will appear. • A charge of $2.80 will be incurred for each immobilizer request. Note: Costs are $9.95 per transaction, or $25.95 for a 24 hour subscription access (with no transaction limit). SOA Warranty will only reimburse an approved warranty claim with an Immobilizer Code access cost of $2.80 per transaction, as a sublet cost. The public-facing (professional locksmith) web site’s public accesses fees of $9.95 and $25.95 will be reduced to $2.80 per transaction, if those fees are submitted as a part of a warranty claim. continued...
