So far so good!: Keyless entry systems

*EDIT 03/28/2018* - It's been 3 months since I've ordered this. Still works great. Survived a Pennsylvania winter with snow falling on him and things like that and a few drips on the concrete. Happy to report it's still holding up! I just received a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STI without a factory key fob. I ordered it and only received it today. I managed to install it fairly painlessly. I'll write below what I did to set it up. One thing I wanted to mention is that other reviews mention that the buttons are rubber and there are issues with them. My buttons are actually plastic like the original keychains I think and they are very nice and click when you press the button and I don't see the button sticking like rubber. It seems as durable as any other factory keychain. Everything is working fine so far, but this is only the first day. I will update this if I run into any problems in the future. It's pretty easy to find programming guides for the STI online, but in summary: open the car and make sure all the doors are closed. Sit in the driver's seat and close the door again, turn the ignition from the "Lock" position to the "On" position. To the "Lock" position and back 10 times within 10 seconds and leave the key in the "Lock" position. (I found a guide online that says within 15 seconds and it didn't work for me so I did it asap and it finally worked. Later I noticed that the guide that came with it said 10 seconds 15.) If you've done it fast enough, the machine will beep quickly. Then open and close the door again, press the button on the key fob (it will beep 2 when it logs in) and then remove the key (it will beep 3 to let you know it's done). That's all!

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • I won't say anything
