What I learned: 1. Top button locks, 2. Star cluster unlocks. 3. Click the lock button 3 times to help find the car. 4. Star cluster once unlocks driver side. Star cluster several times unlocks all the doors. 5. I don't need to go to the dealer to replace the battery in the fob, it is easy enough to do myself. 6. Click and hold liftgate button for it to automatically open. Click and hold for the liftgate to automatically go down. 7. The driver door unlocks as I approach the car if I have the fob with me--no need to push the button on the fob.

You missed the feature that when you approach the vehicle, if equipped, the Subaru logo in your side mirrors lights up, illuminating the door handle as well as the interior map lights. This doesn't auto unlock the car, it turns on the door handle tap feature. If you touch the door handle it unlocks the driver door only. If you hold the handle for a second(s) it unlocks the passenger side door after unlocking the drivers door. If you happen to try to open the locked rear door, and then hold the driver door handle, it will unlock the rear door behind the driver's door. Neeeeeaaaaat toe!!

My favorite function on the key fob is the feature that lets you stop the lift gate part way up by pressing the lift gate button as it is opening. It is very handy when you have a kayak or something else on the roof which prevents the lift gate from opening all the way. If you stop the lift gate as it is opening, you can still gain access to the rear cargo space.

The salesperson wasn't very helpful...basically I bought the car, wrote a check and drove away. I was freaking out because I had no idea what I was doing, as far as the bells & whistles. I've just had this car since 12/26 and don't drive on a daily basis any longer since I 'm now retired. I'm so glad I found your channel. I'll be checking out more videos...I find reading the manuals overwhelming. My Subaru came with just 1 fob. I asked about a 2nd fob, but was told it only had 1???? Should I insist with the dealership? It really makes me nervous only having 1 fob. I've never had a car with the fob and push button start. I believe I'm going to love driving this Outback. I was surprised at how roomy the interior is. I feel like I'm in a living room, as opposed to my previous Toyota Carolla. One problem I'm having is judging how far to pull into my garage. Do you know of anything that may help me judge this correctly? Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi Alex. Great channel. I've learned a lot from the videos. TY. I have a question about a scenario that occurred. I'd parked my 2020 Outback. To ensure there was clearance for the car in front of me, I went out to check. Issue: the car automatically locked the doors while it was running. I had the FOB in my hand & was stuck with an idling car. "ACCESS Key not detected" was displayed on the dashboard. Fob had a fresh battery, buttons were not working, the actual key didn't open any doors & pincode wasn't taking. Yet the car was still idling. Had to call AAA & waited for 1.45 min. till 2A.M. What could have happened? 2nd time something like this happened. I need to learn what to do should this happens again. Your help is greatly appreciated and needed.

Also, the key itself can be used as a screwdriver to open the fob.

Thank you! I have a 2024 outback. I am going to go practice these things on my car and also watch ur other vid on how to set a code. One issue with this car is how far close you have to be to lock the vehicle with the fob. My old altima, you could be pretty far away. Is there any tricks for this? Thanks

Thanks for another great video, Alex! I have a question, how can you disable the rear seatbelt alarm? It’s so irritating. If you put anything heavy enough in the back seat, you have to listen to the annoying sound. I know, click the belts… I don’t want to do that, I want to disable it like I can the front seats. Thanks again, Alex!! 👍🏻 Oh! One more question. Any chance of another screen update to include a Lane Departure button on the home screen? Thanks!!

Thank you! Glad you liked it. Unfortunately, the only way to disable the rear seatbelt alarm is to lay the seat down 🫤

you can open lid of the keyfob by the physical key - insert it into vertical hole on the side and push it down as leverage

Just bought a 2022 WRX sport and love the car so far. Just one question you didn't cover- having two key fobs, can I start the car, leave a fob inside and then lock the car so it's still running? I haven't tried the app yet, and am thinking that's the way. With my other car, I was able to leave one fob in the car, and lock/unlock with the other fob. This doesn't seem to work though. Suggestions?

Thought there was a key fab feature where can open all the windows remotely before getting in the car? Is that possible? Thanks, Love your videos.
