I run Yokohama YK580's on my 02 outback. Pretty affordable and I've been very happy with performance.

When it beeps once it's in programming mode so if you aren't getting two beeps it probably is your fob. Three beeps means programming mode is over.

If it's the same as a third gen outback then make sure you unlock then open close door before the other stuff. Other than that just keep trying it. Took me a ton of tries with mine

I'm with fairtax. I've had 4 of these so I'm pretty sure. It should have that pcv hose though. They eliminated the T that goes to the airbox in 02. Just goes straight to the intake after that. Yours being a 2000 should have the T set up though.

If it's the same as the 2000's you should be able to pop the cover around the shifter and manually release the lock. It's on the right side of mine. Little linkage moves forward or back to disengage.

My car was MT and donor was AT so it's unclear why some are different.

Also I did not swap the crank sprocket and had no issue. I do however agree with swapping them. Especially if you're doing timing belt as well.

If its the same as when I put an 00 into an 02 than there will be a different vacuum hose set up from the crank case. The old is slip fit on a fat hose and goes to the intake and I believe the air box. The new only goes to the intake and is threaded into a fitting on the block. If you have an npt tap you should be able to tap the inside of the slip fitting. Worked fine for me. It may not be ideal but I think it's worth it to keep original intake manifold and wiring harness. Mine also had a different style coolant temp sensor so swap coolant crossover pipe as well.

I personally feel like hight of the light is a major factor. My 96 suzuki x90 had really good headlights. I also feel like the "pretty" design alot of manufacturers go for is probably difficult for an engineer to get all that light going the right direction. The headlights on the x90 are pretty round so it seems like it would be easier to make them work.

For some reason it didn't want me to open the door after the ignition stuff. Just got it to work. So ignition on off 10 times then just hit the button on the remote. Pretty weird that it was different but it works now.

Have you done this before? I can't seem to get mine to honk. Any more specifics from someone who has successfully done it,such as speed of on off with the ignition or do I need to have the doors all unlocked before I get in or just unlock them after i het in. Ive tried about 8 or 9 times and the instructions are pretty straightforward so I must be doing something to upset the process.

I have a 02 outback I recently purchased with no key fob. I have a spare from a 2000 that I parted out. Can they be reprogrammed at all, dealer, at home, or otherwise?

Thanks for the advice. I have a need to get it out of my dad's shop and with no spare block I don't have a lot of options. I appreciate your input and will take it under advisement. I bought the car to sell but don't want to screw anybody. I plan to put some miles on it before I let it go.

As it turned out it wasn't timing belt at all. The person I got it from got the car in a package deal and didn't know anything. He had been told it broke but had a mechanic supposedly put a new belt on with fingers crossed. As it turns out the belt was probably the same from the last change but the water pump looked fairly new. Some of the timing cover was melted so this car had been seriously over heated. The head gaskets were toast and thus no compression emmulating the supposed bent valves. I'll have the car running some time next week.

I plan to get a full gates kit including water pump all idlers and tensioner. Car has 187k. My heads have 124k. I definitely am going to pull the motor for this job. Was also planning on felpro head gaskets. I've seen that tutorial on head resurfacing. I plan to re-use head bolts.
