Starting within 30 seconds


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Just bought 04 Outback 3.0

Everthing seems fine, but what a performance starting. You have to start the car within 30 seconds  or you have to lock and unlock the car again. Never come across anything like this in 50 years of motoring. Crazy. Does anyone know how to get round this please.

Thanks

Ian

I only found this out because of another legacy owner at NBO. Instead of locking/unlocking the car. Put the key in the ignition, turn the key,but before you turn it over press the little button on your key fob and you can then turn the engine over. :)

You do not need lock & unlock the car, if go to start & immobilizer is on thus won't crank, leave key in IGN position & just press alarm button & immobilizer will be turned off then turn key one notch to crank-start car.

 

Issue is requirement of CAT1 alarm regs, if still don't like it you best getting immobiliser wiring removed on alarm & just run the alarm without & immobiliser will be standard subaru transponder key.

This should be explained in the handbook.

It's an extra so not covered in handbook, if fitted when bought new you get an additional booklet & 2 small credit size info cards on basic instructions & can keep one in sun visor.

We have instructions on alarm on this site (will link you to it in a minute)

Your alarm will have a keypad for manual 4digit pin code so hopefully you know about this & have the pin, although if not you can reset pin to one of your choice while have a working remote & would best be done as PITA if remotes bad/lost & you got no manual pin number :-S
