Desperate to get my 2009 Subaru Legacy running again. Trying this tonight.

Why is finding a key code on a 2009 Subaru Legacy this hard?!

My 2009 Subaru Legacy just blinks. I think this might fix it.

My 2009 Subaru Legacy has the same problem—any luck getting the key code?

Bookmarking this for when I work on my 2009 Subaru Legacy this weekend.

Hoping someone can confirm this works for a newer 2009 Subaru Legacy.

Key Tip: Newer cars often require dealer programming for first key replacement
Security Systems
A flashing security light often indicates an immobilizer issue. Solid light suggests the system is armed but not recognizing your key. Causes: faulty key chip, damaged antenna ring, low battery, or system needs reprogramming.
Key Programming
Programming syncs the key's transponder chip with your car's immobilizer system. The process varies by manufacturer but generally involves: 1) authenticating with the car's computer 2) erasing old keys if needed 3) programming new key codes 4) testing functionality.
Key Tip: Newer cars often require dealer programming for first key replacement
Key Programming
Most transponder keys and smart keys can be reprogrammed if they haven't been damaged. Basic mechanical-only keys (no chip) can't be reprogrammed - they must be physically cut to match your locks.
Key Tip: Newer cars often require dealer programming for first key replacement
Key Fact: Some luxury car keys can cost $800+ to replace at dealerships
