anyone know how I can get a new key for my xt6

I only had one and

I lost it the other day

There should be a key code on the passenger door lock.

take the vin to a subaru dealer they can make a key for you if they have it in their computer

xt-6's rule

bought the car in Maine

drove it to Canada

registered it here

do ya think my local dealer will have the vin

Where are you in Canada? Any locksmith can cut you a factory key, usually for $20, from the code # stamped on your passenger doorlock. Failing that, I have a couple of hundred keys but you would have to be local.

The dealer probably won't have access to the VIN. I would call and ask them though. Especially for a vehicle this old. A good locksmith can handcut a key for you if you can not access the passenger door lock cylinder.

call any dealer...might need to be one in the states, i don't know how the canada/us dealer databases interact. give them the VIN. if the original salesman entered the key code in the computer from the original paper work (which they were supposed to do at the time) then the key code will be available. i've done it on more than one occassion without issue.

 

if they didn't enter it then pull the 4 digit code from the passenger lock cylinder. all you have to do is remove the door panel, very easy to do. i believe if you know exactly where it is located you can actually get the code without pulling the cylinder out. but...if you have to pull the cylinder out it's only held in place by a clip or something, barely takes any tools to get it out.

I'm in the Toronto area of Ontario

I'll call the dealer Monday but

taking the lock out seems simpler
