Will This Fix My Problem?

Honest answer: here's exactly what this service fixes — and what it doesn't.

Fixes:

  • Lost all keys to a Subaru (Outback / Forester / WRX / BRZ)
  • BIU replaced and the keys need to be re-registered
  • Dealer wants to replace the BIU + combination meter
  • Used / donor BIU needs a key programmed before install
  • No-start immobilizer fault tied to the BIU

Won't fix:

  • Smart-key / push-button-start trims and newer model years without VIN confirmation (verify first)
  • Faulty key fobs, dead fob batteries, or worn ignition antenna rings
  • Combination-meter / cluster faults that need separate repair
  • Mechanical ignition or steering-lock damage unrelated to the BIU

Shipping Instructions

These details are also emailed to you the moment your payment clears.

IMPORTANT: text or email a clear photo of your BIU / BCM label BEFORE shipping so we can confirm coverage. Then ship the BIU to 1168 W Pioneer Parkway, Arlington TX 76013.

Frequently Asked

Still have a question? Text us — replies in minutes.

What is a Subaru BIU and why does losing all keys make it complicated?
The Body Integrated Unit is Subaru's under-dash body computer and the core of the immobilizer. The key, BIU, instrument cluster and engine computer all share a matched ID set - so with every key gone there's no working key to copy from, and the data has to be reworked at the module level.
Which Subarus does BIU all-keys-lost programming cover?
Most reliably the blade G-key models from roughly 2012-2017 - Impreza, Legacy, Outback, Forester, WRX/STI and Crosstrek/XV - plus the BRZ / 86 / FR-S. Smart-key (push-button) trims and newer years should be checked by VIN and a module photo first.
Do I have to bring the car in, or can I mail the module?
For all-keys-lost the BIU is removed and worked on the bench, so it's mail-in: you ship the BIU, we pair a fresh key, and return it ready to install.
Can you add a key if I still have one working key?
Yes - with at least one working key, adding a key is much simpler and is usually a quick programming job rather than a bench EEPROM procedure.
Why do you need a photo before I ship?
Coverage depends on the exact BIU part number, year and key type. A clear photo of the module label lets us confirm your module is supported before you spend money on shipping - we'll tell you upfront if it needs a different procedure.
