G28 is because the dealer has a limited number of codes and may have to change the ignition.

Replace the ignition switch/lock cylinder If your Subaru key fob isn't working or if you have trouble switching the ignition it is possible that you need an ignition cylinder replacement. It can be expensive and require a trip either to a locksmith or dealer. If you've not had any issues with your battery for your keys, or the power locks on your car function however, it could be something else. For instance, if your key is turning faster than it did previously it could be time to get a new ignition cylender. The majority of modern Subaru keys come with an immobilizer that prevents your car from starting using a stolen key or with a key that isn't programmed to the vehicle. The immobilizer, which is a microchip on the key, transmits an indication that the key is legitimate to the vehicle. This helps to prevent theft and other issues. Our #StockerSubaru dealer recommends an entry level key that doesn't include the transmitter if you want to replace a Subaru key with immobilizer. In the past, you could have keys made from metal at a local hardware store or a locksmith. But modern Subaru vehicles feature sophisticated computers that control the engine and key. So, you should hire a skilled technician who has the tools and software to accomplish the task. You'll also require your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), your registration papers ID, and proof of insurance to obtain a new key. Key duplication The purpose of key duplication is to create an exact copy of a particular key. You can duplicate a normal metal key at any local hardware store or locksmith equipped with the required equipment. You can also make it yourself with a drill or a file. You'll also require an empty key that matches your design preference and a key that's the same size as the original key. The key is positioned on the opposite side of the duplicator, and lined up with a specialized blade, which cuts the blank key to make a duplicate. Then, the key is cleaned and polished for a smooth finish. A file is the more traditional method, however, it's not as fast and may require a lot of patience to make an accurate copy. If you are using a file, make sure that the teeth aren't sharp. This will stop the lock cylinder from becoming damaged. You can also use a screwdriver in the event that you don't have a key cutter, however it's more challenging and time-consuming than merely using a file. Many modern cars come with security features that make them difficult to duplicate. Some vehicles are equipped with keys that have chip. The key emits a signal when the correct key is within. If your car requires chipped keys, you must visit a locksmith instead of trying to duplicate it at home. Emergency key replacement Locksmiths can help if you're stuck or need a spare car key.
