If you google hard enough, you should be able to find both the 'how to' and
the tools.(if needed.) That old saying--Where there is a will, there is a way.
:)
The keys can be cut elsewhere. Some home depot, lowes or even walmart can
cut the keys for you. Dealers want to make you think they are the only ones
that can do it. To bypass the limitation, you *might* need the dealer
programmer, but even that is available on eBay. Is it worth the cost vs a trip
to the dealer? Only you can decide.

just got a 2013 Subaru Forester. It apparently uses transponder keys. It
looks like the days of having a cheap copy cut to keep in my wallet are over.
So what's the deal with transponder keys? Can Ace Hardware clone them?
What's the deal about only being able to "program" a maximum of four keys for
the car (as per the manual)? Can I make an unlimited number of clones? Why
is everything such a PITA these days? (I feel a rant coming on....)

this car DOES NOT have remote start, although of course it does have remote
door lock fobs.
