The Subaru Forester is a crossover manufactured since 1997 by Fuji Heavy Industries and sold under the Subaru brand. Some model years have keyless entry remote fob smart keys that are onboard programmable, meaning a person can program the keyless entry remote fob smart key with no special equipment other than the keyless entry remote fob smart key programming instructions. However, other model years of the Subaru Forester are not on-board programmable and require special equipment in order to program the keyless entry remote fob smart key.
