Durania Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Have a friend with an 03 Legacy L wagon. The car did not have a key fob when he bought it and his girlfriend asked me to help her get him one for his birthday. His car should have it from the factory, correct? Should just have to program and go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I don't know if it's factory or not but it's usually pretty easy to spot the dealer-installed keyless entry controllers under the dash. They have a couple inline fuses, and a label on the box that indicates their function. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickb21 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yes, definitely should have everything needed installed from the factory. Just program and go. I'm not sure if you can use the remotes with the grey buttons that came on the '00 models. But the Orange and Blue button remotes will definitely work. Same thing happened to my '02 OBW when i picked it up.. no fobs. There is an Alarm upgrade available as an option which will make a light on the cluster flash. Programming the remotes is a bit... awkward... at best. There are a few good write-ups on this site though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 you'll have to get the blue/orange button jobs. i have some brand new Subaru remotes for this application if you're interested let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Cars101 shows the new teardrop style has now replaced the older fob style. http://www.cars101.com/subaru/keyless.html#alpine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
