Will it work on a 1998 Outback wagon? If yes work will I need the dealer or locksmith to program it?

I do not know if it will work with your vehicle however I had the dealer connect mine as although the instructions can be done it is a bit complicated and for 30$ at the dealership it was worth it.

Not sure that it will work on models that far back, I don't see any buyers with '98 MY Outbacks/Legacies; best to contact the seller. Generally, if they look similar, then the chances are better. There's a completely different system/fob on the latest Outback/Legacy models. If the seller says it will work, follow the included instructions, or better yet, use some of the longer, better detailed steps from users on the product comments. That's what I ended up doing and got it to work the 2nd. try. Good luck!

Yes, it has to go to the dealer. Note: My wife lost her keys, so we got extra keys made and bought the key fob. Our dealer programmed it for free, WOW... We found her keys a couple of weeks later and her old key fob wouldn't work any more. We discovered that the dealer changes the coding so someone else (who has your lost keys) won't be able to use the fob. We had to take both of them in and they programmed them, again for free. We'll but another Hyundai!!!

I believe you have to take it to a dealer to be programmed. I googled how to do it and it wasn't working so that's what I did. Costed 40 bucks.

This will work for a 2013 Subaru Outback. There is a new updated part number, H501SFJ001. We have this part in stock and ready to ship out today if you click on our link.

It will work but you must program it. Instructions come with it. However, I noticed a significantly shorter range on this one than my other FOBs.

My husband did it and it took about 2 minutes to complete. I have owned it for almost 5 years and never had an issue with it not working. As far as the programming, it was a series of opening the door, closing the door, opening the trunk. The seller sent very detailed instructions. I am so glad I went this route instead of a dealership who wanted $200!

Hello Frances,I found programming this remote to be a little bit challenging. I don't think that you would need to go to a locksmith, but it won't be as easy as pressing 1,2,3. You have to try it a few times in order to get the sequence working for your vehicle. I can tell you that I tried for about 20 minutes unsuccessfully, before getting it to work but It has been working great ever since.

True, this kit will not work with 1998 subaru legacy outback 2.5. It worked perfect for my 1997 SLOB 2.5, and it still working great.

While I did not buy this exact one, I have purchased a several of these (for a 2002 Camry and 2005 Outback) and they all worked fine and came with programming instructions. Much cheaper than dealership.

If that key fob matches the style of yours, it should work. I bought two and they took about a minute to program and work fine.

Same as Bill - I'd check with the seller. If you want me to guess, I would probably say it would work. Just a note, that programming instructions as I recall were single-spaced, a bit confusing - as there were around 10 steps to do - but I'd rather do that than pay my local Toyota dealer probably $ 100 to program it for you.

Yes the old will work. As a matter of fact I programmed it to work both a rolling code door and a old standard door opener. Also my wife has a new car with a built in opener as well, plus we have an outdoor coded opener by the door itself.So the answer is a resounding yes.

You have to go to the car dealer or a locksmith to have it programmed. The locksmith is usually less expensive.

No. This is one will not work on a 2006. You need the Curt 12284 for your Outback.

I would call the dealer and ask. I had my key cut at a locksmith but they could not program it so they gave me a # to someone who would come to me. Still saved $20 getting the dealer to program it, plus if it ever has problems I know where to find them.

Yes it will work. I have it programmed on my 2004 f150 ab 2009 escape. No issues
