Brock Samson Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Ummm not to rain on anyone's parade but there has been a solution made to this interest. I have about 3 flip keys OEM look/feel that work with no problems. They fit my 09 FOB inside and then you place your Transponder chip in it and get the key cut. Very very simple. total cost was around $60 Do you have a link or any more info about this solution? Particularly for 05 style keys and fobs?

Different shape of the remote piece. Looks like the Tribeca key I guess, someone posted a photo on pg.4 or so. This project sounded like it would be a higher quality unit than the overseas items on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will work, but you need to purchase and program the proper remote... I believe it's a 09 fob. Sent from my LG-E971 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LG-E971 using Tapatalk Of course it will work if I buy the 09 remote. However I'm not looking to spend an extra $70. Either way, I found a lead on NASIOC that may have something that's a direct drop in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky monk Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Yes, that's the thread I found and purchased a flip key from the OP. Not cutting required, the Legacy application is direct drop in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky monk Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Your 08 has the bigger AIO key like on the Tribeca right? Correct. Received the shell yesterday, it's only for the 09+. Guy didn't do his homework and didn't understand the difference between 08 & 09 remotes. Seems like it might fit with some modification so I'm going to try going that route.

funky monk Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Yea it's not happening. Practically tore up the interior of that stupid thing trying to get the 08 unit to fit but it won't. Waste of $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumaMax Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 To clarify for you guys. I have a(n) 2005 legacy. I went out and got that key kit from both a member on here and that ebay link. Then I also purchased an 09 Key(used) on ebay for about $20 Took the FOB part out of it. Cut up my 05 key to get the immobilizer chip from it and put it all together. I think I spent about $60-80 to buy everything and have the key cut. Small price to pay but I don't have to carry around 2 pieces for my car. Plus I had an 08 AIO key and it does not work. It must be the HEX style key. Another reason I got it was because the AIO key kept jabbing me in the leg when I would walk. The flip key is worth it!

BAC5.2 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 No updates. I ultimately abandoned the project. Maybe if I ever get another Subaru, I'll reconsider.
