hello, I am a new Subaru owner and I know virtually nothing about these vehicles.
general info
2010 forester completely stock, no rust, no electrical issues or codes, new head gaskets and rebuilt transmission as of march 2019.
using info from original owners manual, YouTube and a few forums on this website
using valet key because I do not have the original
aftermarket key fob from amazon
door open
ignition 10 times
hear tone and open door
get 2nd tone
hit lock button and 2nd tone goes away, first tone stays and marker lights flash
do all 8 digits 2 times and the doors auto lock/unlock
this is where I run into trouble
I have tried ending the process by taking the key out of the ignition and waiting 5 to 10 seconds....fob doesn't work
I have tried opening and closing the door, then taking key out of ignition....fob doesn't work
I have tried entering the fob code for all 4 slots (i want to clear the old fob out)
I have tried inputting code 8 separate times with with the doors auto locking for both ending steps listed above, but the fob never seems to work.
am i missing something? any and all help would be appreciated
