SwingBlade Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Hey folks! Me again! So while I was looking for something else in my owner's manual folder, I found the little poster-thing from the car's initial sale, which included its options package details. To my surprise, it listed "remote engine starter", which is news to me. I had considered having an aftermarket one installed in the past. How do I go about activating it? My girl just got a Tacoma, and it is activated by pressing the lock button three times on the keyfob. Is there something similar for the Subaru, or does it take a special fob? TIA!

Plastixx Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) It has a separate remote. You just need to install the kit and then have the dealer program it. https://www.subarupartspros.com/sku/h011saj401.html https://www.subarupartspros.com/docs/H011SAJ401.pdf Edited June 9, 2022 by Plastixx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 If you do have the module installed already, then you need to get a remote and have it programmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastixx Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Oh, I'm tired and didn't comprehend that it might already be installed. In that case just get a replacement fob and program it. I think the programming sequence is key on/off three times, then on, wait for lights to flash and horn to honk 3 times, click button on fob once, wait for lights and 1 honk, and then key off.

SwingBlade Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 Seems pretty straight-forward, yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwingBlade Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 Follow-up question would be, can I just buy a used/aftermarket fob, or do I have to contact a dealer to get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastixx Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 You can get a used one and then just go through the programming steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
