Mr B Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 What alarm system ? Sigma !? If still not working after Battery change you could try reprogramming & if that fails then will need pick up another fob. If its Sigma m30 link below on reprogramming, if you don't know then manual pin code set that first while you have one working remote. http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/topic/306-remote-needed/page-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffsaw Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 its the original keys, and i've asked at the garage, and they've said it shouldn't need re coding. so is there another weakness in the keys that it could be? anyone had a similar issue? i've checked the Battery and the key, and no obvious damage, so i'm at a loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peejay Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 You mention keys. Are neither of them working? Probably a silly comment, but is the new Battery inserted correctly. Negative side up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 What year forester, what alarm system ! as said generally fobs don't need reprogramming due to Battery change. I have experienced on more than one occasion a fob not working as got itself out of sequence with the alarm due to weak Battery & needed new Battery & reprogram. If both fobs an issue then possibly receiver on alarm or main alarm ecu fault but reprogramming could be worth a go as first step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveuk260.Esq Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Dont let your remote get cold or you will have problem unlocking your car. Took me 20 button presses to finally get my forester unlocked. Works perfect when not cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
