    Key Fob

    Hi,

    Has anyone found a aftermarket key fob that works as a replacement for our 1998 two button fob (black with a big and small gray button) I can't seem to locate one that works.
    I know the subaru looks just like it but does not work. Please let me know if anyone has found one.
    Thanks

    Are you just trying to use it, or did you do the elaborate routine to pair the fob with the car?

    I'm just trying to find an aftermarket fob that is compatible for my BMW E36
    and not pay stealers price.

    I get it.

    Did you try an actual Subaru fob? And by "try" i mean "did you do the elaborate routine to pair the fob with the car?"

    Researching everywhere for a fob, I came across many warnings the subaru fob does Not work by people who tried the elaborate routine.
    So if anyone knows of one that works, please let me know.
