How many keys did you get from Subaru dealer?
 
I bought my MY2014 BRZ almost 2 years ago from a suby dealer in socal and i received 2 FOBs. I thought that was normal but now my suby dealer calls me out of the blue yesterday and says they found a key that matches my VIN nbr.

So i was supposed to get 3 FOBs. Is the same for everyone else who has a BRZ?

Conspiracy Theory: This is a new dealer plot to get you to stop by so they can tell you about the MY17 refresh and get you to upgrade

FRS comes with two and a valet so doubt the BRZ is any different.
The keys do not show VINs on them. Unless they meant that there was a tag on it with your number.
Was the car new?

Actually THAT would get my alert level raised.


AFAIK the only way to steal one of htese cars is to have a new key made by the dealer, but even then I thought that it had to be "married" to the car BY the dealer.
I don't think you can just order a new key and have it work with the car.


SO I would be VERY curious WHY they ended up having a new key...


And I only got two key-fobs. and I think I got a valet, although I don't recall what I did with it now that I think about it...


On a slightly unrelated note: I just noticed the other day that my 99 Chevy Suburban had the KEY CODES written on a card in the owners manual that sat in the glove compartment of my suburban for the last 15 years....Good thing the people who like to rifle through my car whenever I forget to lock it didn't stumble upon that little morsel.
All they would have had to do is take that key code to a Chevy dealer and get a key made...

The guy with the other ones is tracking down your car to steal as we speak!

Isn't the valet done by just sliding your key out and giving them the fob only? then they can't open the trunk (assuming you pressed the button in the trunk).

I didn't know there was a 'separate' valet key? I got two fobs, both with slide-out key.

I can confirm I got only 2 keys and valet

MisterSheep 04-22-2016 01:47 PM

Yup same here and same when my friend got her 2009 Lexus IS250.

Not sure what is this 3rd valet key.
