Is there a way of disabling the security chip function when starting a '07 2.5i wagon?
I used to have a '05 2.5i that came with a bare metal Subaru key that I really liked because it was so thin and didn't add pocket bulk. I purchased the same type of blank from Subaru thinking that if the '05 didn't have a chip the '07 wouldn't either, but it looks like it does.
I can open the door and actually got the engine to start if I hold the chipped key on top of the other key but otherwise cant start the car, or more specifically it will start than turn off after a second.
Is there any way to disable the chip security system in order to use the bare metal key? I am also interested in installing a remote start system in the future so this would need to be done for that as well.
Thanks for any thoughts
