Review on πŸ”‘ KeylessOption Keyless Entry Remote: Blank, Uncut Chip Ignition for Impreza WXR STI Forester CWTWB1U811 by Eduardo Reyes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cheaper way than dealer

We called local locksmiths to find out who could actually program and cut the key for our 17 year old Forester. Only two in our area had a "chip programmer" to do it. The locksmith wanted $90 for the key fob and $50 for the programming. The dealer was more expensive. The locksmith was reluctant to make a key and made us pay $50 up front for the program. If the key didn't work, we were out of luck and $50. He used the PIN that came with the package and seemed genuinely surprised that it worked. We risked it and were satisfied. We saved about $50 compared to the locksmith price and over $100 compared to the dealer.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Interchangeable
