After a new transponder key/remote for my 2004 Legacy GT

[eddiewould]

Hey guys,

After a spare transponder key/remote for my Subaru Legacy 2004 GT. Trying to save some coin on the $600 or so Subaru want for it.

Had a look at these ones on aliexpress:

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/500700/200438805-422921939/Subaru-3button-Remote-Key-433mhz.html

But not sure if I'd need the 315MHz version or the 433MHz version. Does anyone know?

Cheers,

Eddie

Cheers for the reply, but I'm pretty sure that one doesn't have the remote buttons on it (which I'm after).

Cheers,

Well, in case anyone else is looking, it looks like these guys will do one to suit my car:

http://www.gtmechtronix.co.nz

Their part-number is GTKR120, they quoted $255.00 incl cutting/programming and GST. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

The website is god-awful, but I think they might be quite good at what they do. So I think I'll give them a go!

dam thats expensive for a key.my mum just had hers replaced on here mazda 3.cost here 399$inc gst from auckland mazda.

Mmm, price for a genuine Subaru one from Wingers is $523 incl cutting...

[Guest]

only way to have remote lock/unlock on another key is to buy genuine

Lockshops can copy your transponder chip frequency and then cut a key with transponder chip freq idential - but no remote option

$cost is around $150

[eddiewould]

Really? - Because the email I got from GT Mechtronix would suggest otherwise.

There is nothing that cannot be reversed engineered and duplicated, given enough persistence.

I'll of course get it in writing before parting with any money however.

Contact Beveridge locksmiths in Lower Hutt

They Do transponder keys and chips as a copy of your key - so no coding needed

[eddiewould]

Yeah have seen the option Beveridge offer but I'm after one as close as possible to the factory remote (i.e. with unlock/lock/boot buttons). So will give GT Mechtronix a go, failing that will fork out for the genuine one.

Cheers for the suggestions though

I'll report back with my findings.
