these models got the newer 4 valve head, improved gearbox, but also more electronics due to the fuel injection. Bet you could have bought off ebay an used ECU+keys combo for a lot less.... most bikes these days have chiped keys but am not aware of it being a common problem. it's supposed to make thieve's lives harder...
recently upgraded to a newer gen of subaru forester that has coded keys. trouble is that i got it without a spare key and subaru wants 200 euro for one... the price of progress!
