Re: subaru keys
There are at least two key types, which are close, but not quite the same. You can use the 90's style ones, but not the 2000s style ones, basically. There's not a great selection... May I recommend this? I have one and I like it a lot.

Re: subaru keys
The 2000s style keys actually CAN be used with an SVX, they just need to be "shaved" down a bit.

Re: subaru keys
You mean shortened or made flatter?

Re: subaru keys
You need to make it flatter. They are longer, but it doesnt matter. The key just sticks out of the ignition lock a little bit more.

Re: subaru keys
My car came with two keys (actually four, but two of them don't go to it!). One was the "master" key with the black plastic head and the valet key had the dark brown/grayish color head. The only difference between the two is the grooves. I think the groove spacing is a little closer together on the valet key. I work at a hardware store and we copy keys, so I looked to see if we had a blank that would fit the SVX. None of the "subaru" blanks fit it, but I found a Nissan blank that works just fine. The grooves are the same as the master key. The only difference is the handle shape.

Re: subaru keys
It's an Ilco key. It's says DA25-X123 on it.
http://www.doitbest.com/Key+blanks-I...sku-205737.dib It's not surprising since our cars share a lot with Nissans, especially the Pathfinder. |

Re: subaru keys
Are you saying we can't use one of these? Because this was kinda my plan.
