I lost my keys and purchased a replacement keyless remote for my 1999 Subaru Outback Legacy from our local Subaru dealer but I did not have them program it because they wanted a couple $100 bucks - reading the owners manual it appears to be easy to do but I cant get my car to enter into the programming mode. Any help would be wonderful.
Here are the directions as they appear in my manual:
Unlock all doors. Cycle key quickly but carefully on-off appr 10 times until the car honks one time.
Do not turn the key far enough to start the car, just to the 'on' position so the dashboard lights up.
When the horn honks, open and close the driver's door, press any remote button and that's it.
Program another remote? Quickly open and close the driver's door again and push a button on the 2nd remote. That's it.
When you're done, remove the key and the horn should honk 3 times. You're all set.
Sometime it takes more than 10 on-offs to set program mode. Open/close the door, lock/unlock etc, wait 10 minutes, then try again.
