Subaru Impreza Key Replacement by Model Era
Impreza keys have changed across generations, and equipment can vary by year and trim. These broad eras can help you describe what you have, but we check the specific vehicle before making a key.
1990s–early 2000s: Traditional metal keys
Many earlier Imprezas use a conventional metal key. If yours is missing, the key still needs to match the vehicle’s lock and ignition.
Mid-2000s–2010s: Transponder keys
Many Imprezas from this era use a key with an electronic security function as well as a cut key. A replacement may need both the right cut and programming for the car.
Late 2010s onward: Keyless access on equipped trims
Some later Imprezas have a proximity fob and push-button start, while other configurations use a traditional key. The year and trim help identify which replacement your Impreza needs.
Is Your Subaru Impreza Key Fob Failing, or Is It the Car?
A Subaru Impreza key fob problem can look like a vehicle problem, so note what happens before arranging service. These checks do not require forcing a lock or taking apart the car.
- Try your spare, if you have one — If the spare works normally, the issue may be limited to the primary key or fob. If neither works, tell us that both have the same problem.
- Notice whether the buttons respond — No response from the fob buttons can point to a fob or battery issue. A weak or intermittent response is useful to report when you call.
- Check whether the key turns normally — If a keyed Impreza’s key will not turn, do not force it. Tell us whether the issue is with the key, the door, or the ignition.
- Describe what happens when you start the car — Tell us whether the engine starts, whether a security indicator appears, and whether the issue began after the key was lost or damaged.

Impreza Key and Fob Problems That Can Stop a Drive
A lost key on a daily-use hatchback or sedan
The Impreza’s everyday role can leave you without a backup when it is time to commute or run errands. We make a new car key on site when all keys are lost.
A fob that responds inconsistently
If buttons work only sometimes, the fob battery may be part of the problem. We offer Subaru Impreza key fob replacement and key fob battery replacement.
A replacement key that starts but does not operate as expected
The right physical key and the vehicle’s electronic security system both matter on equipped models. Subaru Impreza key fob programming can be needed when replacing or adding an electronic key.
A damaged key or trouble at the ignition
A bent or worn key and an ignition issue can feel similar when the key will not turn. Describe what you feel rather than forcing the key, so we can assess the key and ignition together.
