Forester, Outback & Impreza — ID46 & Smart Key On Site
Subaru has a dedicated following across South Yorkshire — the Forester, Outback and Impreza are valued for their all-wheel-drive reliability. One distinctive fact: older Subaru models (pre-2007 Impreza GD/GG and Forester SG) use NSN11 blade — the same profile as the Nissan Micra K12 and Qashqai J10. Aaron carries NSN11 for both Subaru and Nissan. Current Subaru models use a Subaru-specific laser profile.
The Subaru WRX STI and BRZ use the same key system as the mainstream Impreza and Forester range — no sports car premium for key programming. The Forester SK (2018+) and Outback BT (2020+) use Hitag 3 with smart key proximity — programmed via Autel IM508 OBD on site without module removal.
No VAT on any Subaru job. No call-out fee. Aaron carries NSN11 (like Nissan) and current Subaru blanks. BRZ and WRX STI use same key as Impreza — no premium.
