Key Cutting Tips For Using Using a Pro-Source
Every Subaru vehicle has a key code that can be found on the original key ring tag and on Subarunet. This code is
known as an indirect (obfuscated) code. To cut a key, the indirect code must be translated to the direct code which is
the actual key cutting depth information.
Behind the scenes there is a database for each key type which converts the indirect key codes into the respective
direct depth codes required to cut a key. In the past Subaru provided third party companies with this database so they
could program their key cutting machines for indirect code cutting. The indirect key code could be typed into the
key machine and the key machine would automatically convert the indirect code into the direct depth code and cut
the key.
For security reasons Subaru is no longer providing this database. The keys for newer Subaru models must be cut using the direct method. The direct code cut depth information for a given key must be obtained through Subaru Lock
Information Service (SLIS).
The following information will guide you through both indirect and direct depth key cutting methods.

Prior to Using Machine
1. Locate model and model year in the Key Type & Cutting Information chart found on the
following pages to find the vehicle specific cutting information
2. Note Cut By, Jaw, Cutter Size and Adapter requirement
3. If the Cut By is listed as Code, obtain the key code for the vehicle through Subaru.net or
through the SLIS service (listed as Key No in SLIS)
4. If the Cut By is listed as Depth, obtain the Depth Code through the SLIS service (listed as
Key Code in SLIS)
Machine Tips
1. To limit the selection to US market vehicles, from the Main menu go to Cars and change
region to North America
2. When inserting a key blank into the jaw, make sure that the jaw is clear of debris
4. Press down on the blank as you tighten the jaw to ensure that the blank is fully seated
Cutting a Subaru Key (Except Solterra)
1. From the main menu, select CARS

3. Select Subaru model
4. Select the row with the year range and key type
5. If cut by code, select CODES and input the key code

7. Follow the machine prompts to set up the tip stop depth. The universal jaw has six depth
markings located on the top of the jaw. See the image below.
8. If an original key is available, check that the image of the key cut matches the original key
and proceed with cutting the key
