As for the key, am I right to assume lowes and/or walmart has the blank key I need? I got mine at Lowe's. I think it was $1.97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemo Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 This is awesome I can't believe I missed this thread! So the process to do this is: Buy Honda Flip Key ShellWait for shell to arriveTake apart Subaru Fob & Honda shellTrim Subaru internals to fit in Honda shellTake chip from Subaru fob and put in Honda fob.Pop pin outGet new key cut (from lowes/homedepot?), dremel it to match flip key.Assemble everything Did I miss anything? Does anyone have a pic of the new key cut to fit into the flip thingie? Does it look like this: http://www.lsk.net.cn/ebay/blade/11/25.jpg Oh boy I can't wait to do this! I'm just a bit confused on getting the new key cut and dremeled to fit into the flip part. Can anyone clear it up for me? Thanks. If you don't vote Trump, out, you're a bigot who hates america.

See that little part at the top of the pic that says 25, that little tab is the one you will have to trim the subaru key to. Some of the channels are angled, some aren't . pretty much, when you get the new honda fob, take out the blank and just match the subaru dremel key to the honda blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemo Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 ^ Ahh, that's what I figured. And you can get a new Subaru key at somewhere like Lowes? I'm also assuming that if you cut the notch right, there wont be any wiggle with the key, right? If you don't vote Trump, out, you're a bigot who hates america.

If not exactly, does lowes, home depot, etc have a blank key that will match better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pter Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The Honda blank was a little bit thicker than my '08 key. And no one wanted to cut it, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firepyro515 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The tab that will enter the swivel is just a hair thinner than the thickness of the subaru key. The honda key itself is designed for a different kind of lock, so that wouldn't work anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firepyro515 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 you just buy a subaru blank, and dremel the end to fit in the swivel mech. Honda keys are not the same as subaru keys, no matter how much you cut and shape a honda blank, it still wont fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justyfid Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 thanks for clearing up firepyro...the way i understood from other posts was that you can just go to lowes, etc and they would cut to proper size. I guess you do need to buy a separate subaru key then if you do not want to hack the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firepyro515 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 yeah, i was lucky and found a key that was pre cut to fit the swivel on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertsm99 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I really hope this is the honda key blank that everyone's been buying b/c i just bought one. figured the price was good and shipping wasn't expensive as it's not coming from china like some of the other deals. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=200304778120#ht_2540wt_916 Still a number of them available....
