2013 BRZ Premium Key
Quick question I can't seem to find the answer to. I just purchased a 2013 BRZ Premium but it only came with one basic fobless key.
Did the 2013 Premium offer or include remote entry with a fob or key/fob combo? If so, what would be my options of getting a replacement? |

You have a "valet" key. There should actually have been two key/fob combos as well as that one.

Well that chaps my ass. Alright, I guess I'll head to the dealership so they can have their way with me.
While on the topic. I've seen some 3D printed fob/key covers ppl are making. Where's a good source to obtain one? If I'm going to get raked over the coals for a key I might as well go all in. |

There are some true locksmiths that can program a new fob to the car.
Get the dealer that sold you the car to complete the sale of all parts. If from an individual, ask where the other keys are. Not good to have them with the keys and your name and address. |

i know my experience with getting dealers to get extra keys, back in the days before chip keys even, well, it's easier to get blood from stone... YMMV.

Even with that, he did not get a complete key. It's clearly much easier to bring up at the point of sale, after the fact is going to be tougher. He needs the complete key, not half of one, and the integrity of the dealership will show once pressed about that.

US Subaru dealership quote on 1 key/fob combo:
Key = $240 Programming Chip = $50 Total = $290 Edit: Is there a yotamd case for the BRZ key/fob? Last edited by Swolzee; 04-12-2021 at 05:17 PM. |
