Hi, just been reading thru some of the discussion in this section and it suddenly dawned on me ....that i dont really know what type of security i have...

I bought the MY02 WRX about 3 months ago, it was sale from a car trader. He told me that the alarm had been upgraded to a Sigma alarm/immoboliser system, and to avoid confusion the battery had been removed from the ignition key, and i was to use this 'other' key fob device. I thought nothing more of it, as everything seemed, and still does work ok.

So my ignition key has no battery, so the button does nothing. THe other keyfob is about 3/4 the size of a lighter, it has the Subaru logo on it and one button, on the reverse there is code 'Type AC 38 Sigma'. Anyone know what this means, what type of alarm it is ?

There is also a small keypad to the left of the steering wheel, what do i do with this ?, i guess its related to the original alarm system ?...i dunno..infact thinking about it i dont even know that the 'code' is to use it ?...where can i get this information from...

so many questions.....

thanks for any help guys

Ooops i meant to say the small keypad is to the right of the steering wheel....

 

It's probably a Sigma M30:

Yep, sounds like the Sigma M30 alarm as fitted standard on UK imprezas and retro-fitted with seperate key fob on EU imprezas brought to the UK. You will need the pin code to operate the key pad, Sigma (Toad) should be able to get this for you if you have the serial number, if you need a copy of the operating instructions for the MC30, drop me a PM and I will copy for you.

 

thanks for the help guys, where do i locate the serial number for the alarm system ?....

Do we have a contact number for Sigma/Toad

thankss

 

I have a Sigma M30 in MY99, and have been looking at the link above. It says you can have (Interior And/Or Exterior Lights Illumination On System Arm) but how do I get this to work on mine.

 

I'm so glad someone asked this question as I was wondering exactly the same thing! I just picked up my 02 wrx and the keyfob didn't have a battery in it either. To be honest I havent checked to see if the separate keyring with the single button opened the doors, I just bought a battery for the keyfob instead!

Sounds like some of you guys could do with the codes for your keypad. These show you how to programme the remotes, turn on/off the various features, as mentioned, including locking the doors automatically on start up etc. Mail me at bullkeith@aol.com and I'll send a copy in Word format.
