Do you have insurance?

 

otherwise do you have a 'spare' to clone from?

 

otherwise I'm gunna say $140 to $550 potentially (not a job I've been involved with but do have experience with lost car key replacement as a 'apprentice' locksmith

I have insurance But not sure if they cover lost keys

 

I have a spare key but doesnt wireless lock. Not sure if its because it needs a battery or something.

 

Cheers

Check with them first I think you'll find most do (they can cover call out & emergency costs too such as after hours)

 

if it starts the car : CHOICE skip the above

 

it's the RFID chip inside that's the hard part of the process, the unlock / lock part (wireless?) is separate & yeah new Battery might work for that, or it may need 're-pairing' to your car

 

to get an 'offical' subaru key , go to a dealer, or a Locksmith can do it & perhaps they will have a 'knock off' key fob that does all the same tricks for lower cost

 

but still Insurance could cover it but yeah might not be worth the potential excess or claim

Yeah the key starts the car fine and locks it manually.

 

Thanks for the help

best bit is you're not stuck! BUT yeah a spare would be ideal & I always recommend people get them

 

I can do most non-RFID keys up until the late 90's & nothing like the pressure of getting someone home, I've had to hotwire a Lancaster once & get it back to my shop to complete the key making process (I'm not mobile & have the basics)

Luckily someone handed in my key into the police station!!

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
