[Need help replacing a key]

My wife contacted a few locksmiths, but they said that it has an immoblizer and they can't do it. But, I was reading somewhere that the JP models don't have an immobilizer. Can anyone confirm this or tell me how I can? Anyone know if there are locksmiths out there that can make one of these keys? I havent called Japan yet but that is my next step... Thanks

[Need help replacing a key]

My car is a 2001 Legacy B4 J-Spec. OK, so my wife lost our car key. I am in the military. I got my car in Japan. We have since moved to the UK. I know that I should have had a backup key made. I don't know why I didn't. Anyways, she lost our key. I need to get a new one. I would prefer not to spend $500 on one but that is what the Subaru dealer in London quoted us. I do not know if this model had an immobilizer or not. Can anyone help me out. I really just need for her to have a key to unlock the door and drive the car. I don't care if it has the electronic entry on it or not. I heard there was a code I could find to get a key cut, but I couldn't find any info on it. Any help... Please??
