MechanMagic Subaru Replacement Key Fob NHVWB1U711 4-Button 434MHz – Fits Legacy/Outback/Forester/Impreza/Tribeca, Ready to Program

MechanMagic replacement key fob (FCC: NHVWB1U711) is a brand-new 4-button remote programmed to your vehicle by a locksmith or dealer and designed to replace OEM part 88036SC030 at 434 MHz.

This MechanMagic keyless entry transmitter is an aftermarket substitute built to match the shape, button layout, and electrical specifications of the original Subaru remotes used on select Legacy, Outback, Forester, Impreza WRX/STI and B9 Tribeca models. The unit ships fully assembled with battery and electronics, pre-tested with professional tools, and ready for final dealer or locksmith programming. Because some dealerships won’t program non-OEM units, we recommend working with a qualified locksmith for faster, reliable setup.

Which Subaru models and years will this remote work with?

This replacement is made for vehicles that originally used the FCC ID NHVWB1U711 and OEM numbers like 88036SC030. Confirm fitment using your vehicle’s year, model, and the remote’s button layout before purchase.

• 2005–2007 Subaru Legacy and Legacy Outback
• 2006–2008 Subaru B9 Tribeca
• 2007–2009 Subaru Impreza, WRX, STI
• 2009 Subaru Forester

How do I get the new MechanMagic fob programmed to my car?

The remote contains the correct electronics but lacks vehicle-specific programming; a locksmith or a dealer must pair it with your car’s immobilizer and remote entry system. Many locksmiths offer onsite programming and can often program aftermarket fobs when some dealers cannot.

• Requires professional programming by locksmith or dealership
• Bring your vehicle, proof of ownership, and original key (if available)
• Programming tools and procedures vary by dealer and locksmith

What comes in the box and what condition is the fob in?

Each MechanMagic key fob arrives brand new, with internal electronics installed and a battery included so technicians can verify operation immediately. Items are fully bench-tested with professional equipment prior to shipping to ensure correct transmitter function.

• 1 x 4-button keyless entry remote (ready to program)
• Includes battery and pre-installed electronics
• 100% new aftermarket housing and circuit board, professionally tested

Are there any limitations I should check before buying?

This transmitter is intended only for vehicles that match the listed FCC ID, part numbers, and 4-button layout. It will not work on vehicles with integrated smart key or proximity-start systems that require OEM-specific hardware.

• Only compatible with regular keyed vehicles, not smart/proximity keys
• Confirm button placement and part numbers against your original remote
• Dealers may refuse to program aftermarket fobs—use a locksmith if needed

Choose this unit when you want a ready-to-program spare or replacement that matches part numbers like 88036SC030/88036FG000/88036FG030 and operates at 434 MHz.
