hi i only had my scooby wrx 2005 for 3 weeks now,and just pulled open the fusebox flap,its to the right of the steering wheel,and down low a bit,well there was this numbered keypad?,what is this?anyway i looked at my manual and there's no mention of it in there? what is it for? and how do i use it? anyone got instructions on it?,i guess its got something to do with the immoboliser,or something security related,lucky i did'nt disconnect the battery if it is,since i had to change a blown bulb in the headlight.

 

Im guessing that its for the Sigma alarm. Is it a two row pad with * and #?

 

its part of the factory standard alarm (cat1) its used to input codes into the ecu of the alarm and imobilser to activate or deactivate some of the alarm features. IE turn off cockpit sensers adjust shock sensers ect.
and if your lucky like me you can have it set so you input a code to start your car

 

Yes its for the sigma alarm i have one in my glove box, if you google sigma m30 operating instructions there will be info there for you

 

Is it an M30 that they used? Ive got an M30 on an old Porsche. The manual will probably found as a 'Sigma M-Series'. Youll probably needto contact Sigma directly though, as youll need the original pre-programmed PIN, which should have been given to yuo along with the manual instructions...

 

This is the manual:

i gonna check what system it is now,hopefully its got a name or something,......

 

if its original fitment it will be sigma and the ecu is located behind your glove box.

 

i just had a look,no name or any marks at all,its a black box,fits snuggly into the fuse box door,its got number's 12345 on the top row,numbers 67890 on the bottom row,above the 3 is a red light,next to the light is * and #,the light does not illuminate at all.

 

yes its ment to be there bud! its the main keypad for factory orignal fitment alarm! there will be nothing wrote or printed on it! its there for the cat1 alarm on your scoob..

 

oh just checked and yes the ecu is behind the glovebox.hope this helps.

 

yep thats where it should be!!!

 

Mine is up in front of the rear view mirror. Not conspicuous at all.......

 

just been on the sigma operating instructions site,and it looks different to what i got with regards to the keypad,i have no letters at all,which the sigma has,mine has only numbers and the * and #,does anyone know what system i have got in my wrx?

 

Its an M30, as someone already stated. I have the same alarm and the same keypad.

 

i misunderstood the sigma recoding part with the letter keys,i thought it was actual keys,not examples of a code,well i read a bit more,and yes its the sigma m30,right my next job is to get the code,since i don't have it.wish me good luck! i just want to say thanks to all of you for your help in this matter,i really appreciate it,all the best,to you.

 

A Subaru dealer will tell you the code and change it for you if you want a easier code to remember

 

i will defo get on the case with my local scooby dealer next week,well,.. as soon as i get my logbook arrives,it has'nt arrived yet.fingers crossed it will be here soon.

 

If you type in the correct sequence of numbers you can launch the missilies out of the boot, and if you do this with the bright switch engaged they go into nuke mode for serious kick @rse.
Don't attempt to do this from cold because the nuclear cybanautic reactor has to be warmed up for optimum performance.
I hope this helps.

 

i have this on mines, be good to be able to change alarm settings like interior sensors etc. how do you get it to start your car?

 

ive got a 2001 bug eye. and im lucky enough to no someone that fits orignal sigma alarms to all subaru makes and models when there imported to this country as uk models! ive got an 08 scoob ecu alarm on mine and an australian key pad. the dif between the uk key pad and oz one is that mine lights up. wen my m8 fitted the system he imputed a key code so when i come to start my car i have to imput this code to be able to start the scoob. im not sure if a scooby dealer can do this for you???

hope this helps?
