can someone tell me what the small keypad is for inside the glove box ?

 

it's incase your key fob is duff and you need to immobilize/mobilize your car, you should have a 4 digit number etched into your memory

You also use it to set different features on your alarm, i.e all the doors lock when you start the car, or the code MUST be put in before the car will start. Plus like rasher said if your battery goes flat in the keyfob or you brake it you can open the door with the key, and then key in you pin number on the pad and the car will then start.

Not sure what you do if you haven't got the pin nunber though.

I do but you've gotta have key, key fob, small fingers and patience.

 

What model car is this on ?

Is it a feature that is standard on the new STI ?

 

Not sure but I had one on my MY00 which had a Sigma Cat1 fitted.

The new model has the key pad in the coin tray on the right of the steering wheel - well it did on the one I looked At

 

it's on the my03 wrx and i assume it's on the STi

 

Was in the glovebox on my old MY00, and is to the right of the steering wheel in my sti7...

 

Thanks for the help, I guess had better phone subaru to find out what the code is for my car !!!

 

Sigma manual on its way
Should be of some use to you but you will need the pin code.

 

Hi ScoobyTowers

Can you mail me the manual as well please

Mike

 

my my99 has it in the glove box

 

ricky
It is advisable to get and a remember this code because I have had to use it when parked near a mobile telephone mast apparently they can block the signal from your key fob and the only way to get your car started is via the keypad.There is a mod available but it will cost you unless the car is still under warranty then you only pay for the labour.I put a post out ages ago about this but can't remember all the areas affected but the car park in Skipton in north yorkshire is affected.
