SERVICE BULLETIN
APPLICABILITY: 2000MY to Current, All Models NUMBER: 01-168-09R
SUBJECT: Replacement Key and Immobilizer DATE: 06/17/09
Information Revised: 10/11/18

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide replacement key and immobilizer information along
with an overview of the Subaru Lock Information web-site.

OVERVIEW OF THE RETAILER-ONLY SUBARU LOCK INFORMATION SITE

The Subaru Lock Information Site (SLIS) is located at http://lockinfo.subaru.com, and
provides information on how to obtain immobilizer codes and key cut codes for Subaru
vehicles from the 2000MY to present. This bulletin identifies the equipment required to
initialize (reset) the immobilizer code and cut the key blanks, for both immobilizer and
non-immobilizer type keys. Subaru of America began using immobilizer systems in some
2005MY vehicles (please refer to Immobilizer Chart for more detailed information).

KEY BLANK TYPES

Subaru vehicles are equipped with either standard edge cut keys or high security laser cut
keys. All high security keys are equipped with an immobilizer device installed. Some standard
edge cut keys may or may not be equipped with an immobilizer device. Key blanks can be
purchased through normal parts channels. The following page are examples of the Subaru key
blank styles:
There are many different styles of key cuts. Be sure to order the correct blank for your
particular application and verify your key cutting equipment is compatible. Master keys
are shown below.

WEB SITE ACCESS: AUTOMOTIVE SECURITY PROFESSIONALS

The public-facing locksmith site (linked off of STIS, via the “Immobilizer Key Access”
button), is a pay site for lock professionals.
WEB SITE ACCESS: AUTHORIZED SUBARU RETAILERS
Authorized Subaru Retailers can access SLIS through Subarunet (under the Service tab,
or by directly following the URL http://lockinfo.subaru.com. Access to the immobilizer
information is restricted to Subaru Dealership Service Managers and Parts Managers. Access
will be granted by using the managers’ SKILS user name. No other employees can access the
Subaru Immobilizer Database.
Note: It is the retailers’ responsibility to perform due diligence by entering or deleting
employees in the SKILS Dealer Employee Maintenance Database. This is especially true
of Service Manager and Parts Manager position changes.

Step by Step Process To Access the Site

• Once on the SLIS home page, the Service Manager or Parts Manager will be asked for
their SKILS user name. At that time, if this is the first time he/she has logged on to the
web site, the password “Welcome” should be used. He/she will then be prompted to create
a new password (this will not change your current SKILS password).
• The Service Manager or Parts Manager will then be prompted to read the disclaimer and
answer “accept” or “not accept”. If they answer “not accept”, the system will not let them
access the immobilizer information.
• A page will then be displayed, allowing for entry of the full 17 character VIN of the vehicle
in question.
• Provided the VIN is found in the database, the immobilizer Security ID along with the key/
cutting code will appear.
• A charge of $2.80 will be incurred for each immobilizer request.

Note: Costs are $9.95 per transaction, or $25.95 for a 24 hour subscription access
(with no transaction limit).
SOA Warranty will only reimburse an approved warranty claim with an Immobilizer
Code access cost of $2.80 per transaction, as a sublet cost. The public-facing
(professional locksmith) web site’s public access fees of $9.95 and $25.95 will
be reduced to $2.80 per transaction, if those fees are submitted as a part of a
warranty claim.

Positive Identification Policy
NASTF SDRM Subaru Parts and Service Managers who are registered in the Dealer
Employee Maintenance Database and are designated as Registry Vehicle Security
Professionals (VSPs) shall comply with the following Positive Identification Policy when
servicing orders for keys, immobilizer reset, or other anti-theft services for vehicles:
1. Inform the Customer - At the time of initial request, ask the customer whether he or
she has identification and authority for the service. Inform them of the requirements of this
Positive Identification Policy.
2. Complete the Form - Upon arrival at the job site or when the customer comes in, the VSP
shall complete an Authorization for Automotive Key Generation and/or Immobilizer System
/ Anti-Theft Services form (aka Form D-1, page 15) that asks for the name, address, phone
number, driver’s license, vehicle make, model and year, vehicle license plate number, Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN), odometer reading, and disclaimer and signature. An invoice or
work order that contains all identifying information, when stapled to a duly signed Form D-1,
is acceptable for collection of this customer information. Subarunet.com user name should be
used in place of LSID.
3. Verify I.D. - Verify the customer’s valid photo ID and compare to the information provided
by the customer on the authorization form. The customer must present a valid state issued
driver’s license as proof of identity to qualify for use of Registry services.
4. Verify Authority - Ask the customer to present proof of entitlement, which shall include
at least one of the following: a valid registration certificate, a valid insurance ID card, a valid
insurance policy, vehicle title or a certificate of ownership for the vehicle. The name and
address on the proof of entitlement document must match the information on the driver’s
license to qualify for use of Registry services. In the event that necessary documentation is
locked within the vehicle, the vehicle may be entered to verify the authority of the requestor.
If upon entry to the vehicle, you are unable to verify the authority of the requestor, the vehicle
shall be shut and locked. Do not produce a replacement key, do not provide any key related
information to the requestor and destroy all information acquired from the automaker during
the transaction.
5. Ask for Signature - Require the customer to read and sign Form D-1(page 15). The
customer is attesting to:
a. the information given by the customer being correct and truthful,
b. the customer having the authority to obtain keys or immobilizer services for the vehicle
and,
c. the customer agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the service provider and related
parties against liability.
6. File the Form - Keep the completed Form D-1 on file for two (2) years, or longer as
required by law.
7. Compliance with Applicable Laws. The VSP will take all other actions required by
applicable laws. In the event of a conflict between the steps set forth herein and the applicable
laws, the VSP should comply with applicable laws.
8. Sublet work - A mobile VSP doing work for a body shop, garage, or dealership may accept
a legible photocopy of the picture I.D. in order to match it to the registration/title documents.
This cannot be a faxed copy. The shop owner or manager must verify the customer’s I.D. in
person and attest they have done so by signing the bottom of the Form D-1

Key Cutting Tips For Using a BD Laser Max
Every Subaru vehicle has a key code that can be found on the original key ring tag and on Subarunet. This code is
known as an indirect (obfuscated) code. To cut a key, the indirect code must be translated to the direct code which is
the actual key cutting depth information.

Behind the scenes there is a database for each key type which converts the indirect key codes into the respective
direct depth codes required to cut a key. In the past Subaru provided third party companies with this database so
they could program their key cutting machines for indirect code cutting. The indirect key code could be typed into
the key machine and the key machine would automatically convert the indirect code into the direct depth code and
cut the key.

For security reasons Subaru is no longer providing this database. The keys for newer Subaru models must be cut us-
ing the direct method. The direct code cut depth information for a given key must be obtained through Subaru Lock
Information Service (SLIS).

The following information will guide you through both indirect and direct depth key cutting methods.

Prior to Using Machine

1. Locate model and model year in the Key Type & Cutting Information chart found on the
following pages to find the vehicle specific cutting information
2. Note Cut By, Jaw, Cutter Size and Adapter requirement
3. If the Cut By is listed as Code, obtain the key code for the vehicle through Subaru.net or
through the SLIS service (listed as Key No in SLIS)
4. If the Cut By is listed as Depth, obtain the Depth Code through the SLIS service (listed as
Key Code in SLIS)

Machine Tips
1. To limit the selection to US market vehicles, from the Main menu go to Cars and change
region to North America
2. Maintain up-to-date software. Software releases prior to March 2016 will not cut all
of the keys listed in this bulletin. Refer to attached BD Laser Max instructions for
updating software and sign up for software update alerts at https://blueclassc.mscdirect.com/
acton/form/1684/0039:d-0001/0/index.htm
3. When inserting a key blank into the jaw, make sure that the jaw is clear of debris
4. Press down on the blank as you tighten the jaw to ensure that the blank is fully seated

Cutting a Subaru Key

1. From the main menu, select CARS
2. Select Subaru
3. Select Subaru model
4. Select the row with the year range and key type
5. If cut by code, select CODES and input the key code
6. If cut by depth, select DIRECT and input the depth code per the input sequence chart
7. Follow the machine prompts to set up the required cutter size and jaw type
8. Follow the machine prompts to set up the tip stop or adapter (if required). For assistance in
setting up the tip stop and adapter refer to following pages for more information
9. If application calls for F/G jaw, either a F or G jaw can be used
10. If an original key is available, check that the image of the key cut matches the original key
and proceed with cutting the key
