Rawfentiger Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Just bought my 2nd Subaru Outback.Had a '05 plater, sold it for a Volvo V 70 - big mistake, only kept it 5 months! found my '12 plater, very pleased with it EXCEPT FOR- intermittent problem with remote locking/ unlocking on the key fobs. Replaced batteries in both, (both low, 2.8v in one! 0.6 in the other. No different, still having probs. Tried unlocking by using key in door, get in, alarm goes off! Any ideas, anyone? NB. No prob with main car Battery, starts 1st time every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Is it not unlocking sorry might have just miss read the question or is it locking on it's own :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 You might want to try unravelling / re-positioning the antenna wire - I believe it is under the carpet on the drivers side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawfentiger Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Thanks for getting back to me. 1. It can take four, five or more attempts to unlock, then can take three or four to lock. If I unlock it by putting the key in the door, the alarm goes off once I get in. Tried putting the fob on the windscreen (Forester suggestion), no difference. 2. I'll have a look for the antenna wire suggestion, thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas why the alarm goes off and the engine won't start if I get in by using the key in the door lock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 You need to use the key in conjunction with the pin pad to manually De activate the alarm, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
