April 19, 200520 yr Its almost complete! muhhahahahah! YES, the key works...PERFECTLY. The older cars (up to 2000, 2002 for Impret-za IIRC) are the SR5 keyblank, and the new ones are SR8...I took an SR8 and cut it with the SR8 coding and cutter...and it worked...so, we had the STi blank in stock, and there it is.
April 19, 200520 yr STi Key blank cut to match old key = Work???I think there is a little more then just cutting the key profile. I think the key blank is a little thicker then the older ones so you'll have to grind it thinner once it has been cut.
April 19, 200520 yr Will, Don't fool with me like that!!!! I've been wanting to do an STI key for my 88 Justy 4WD since the key became available. Everyone I talked to told me it will not work! Lets face it, with the key going for $20.00 uncut I've been a bit scared to give it a try. Are you serious, or is it April 1st all over again? (You got me good man!!) Really...Can it be done?? Jim V. (Met you once at Folger last summer)
April 19, 200520 yr Author carfreak85: Indeed. Snowman: It says SUBARU on it. Subarutex: Yes. I did not trace the old key, as it was worn. I cut a new key from the Master Key Code from the VIN. Dr. RX: Nope. Just use the cartridge for the SR5 blank, tell the PC its an SR5, and let it do its job. One normal pass and its done. Yes, the SR8 thicker than the SR5, but I did NOT have to do anything special. viehmann: Yes, it can be done. No April fools joke here. Just ask Templar.
April 19, 200520 yr How can I get the key code? Is that encoded in the Vin? Is it something you could get for me Will?? Yes, you know I HAVE to do this. Currently my RX is a bit more STi than yours... Although yours runs...
April 20, 200520 yr Correct. For $25 shipped, give me your vin and you will have a STi key. can you tell me my code without cutting a key? how mutch for a stock key?
April 20, 200520 yr Author Need your VIN. $6 for the plain metal blank. the ORIGINAL black blanks are about $15.
April 20, 200520 yr can you tell me my code without cutting a key? how mutch for a stock key? ditto on that - I want an OEM-style key with light if those are still available - the '03 quick referance manual says yes, but it is several years out of date
April 20, 200520 yr like...the old square original with the green LED in it. sounds cool but a visual aid would help so mutch. my vin is jf2an52b9nd412145
April 20, 200520 yr awsome, i gotta go get a key made for my outback tomorrow.. the parts guy makes me new keys free of charge whenever i need them.. muuahaha.. since i send all my subaru, toyota, and chrysler parts requests to him from work.. maybe i'll have him cut me an STI key for my outback,
April 20, 200520 yr Author ditto on that - I want an OEM-style key with light if those are still available - the '03 quick referance manual says yes, but it is several years out of date I'll have to look it up. ok, $16.95 actually. Only 12 of them left in the country.
