SpdRcrWrex Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hi, I just purchased a salvage 05 Legacy GT. while only the body panels need to be replaced it did not come with a keyless remote. Lucky for me, it was before the kill engine chip was put in, so i can drive the car. what I need is to find where the keyless remote box is so that I can match up the serial numbers on the box to a new keyless remote. I just can't seem to find it (actually i have no idea what I'm looking for ) I thought it would be under the glove box, but i just didn't see anything. Anyone able to help? Do they make a CD style tech manual for our cars? thanks in advance guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immobilizer chip is in the Key, not the key fob. The key fob is just the remote functions. Look up "vacation pics" and you should be able to find the body control unit in there.

Instructions for registering a new remote transmitter are in the Owner's Manual chapter on Keys and Doors. If you don't have the Owner's Manual, you can register at My.Subaru.com and download a copy in .pdf format. As mentioned above, each key has a chip, so you won't be able to create extra keys on your own. Only the dealer can register new keys with the immobilizer system.
