we did the same with lin's.. Altho did ask for it to be towed outta the C/park area and it would then start but they would have none of it, towed all the way home and started it to put on the drive...

Wish i knew you were going to days. Need a set of leads for lin's...

You can upgrade the shielding on the alarm mate and it sorts that problem. Had the same problem with mine for a while.

I got my done at a main Subaru dealers. I went to Waldonway in Kent in the end because those useless idiots at Days didn't know anything about it

It was ages ago but I THINK it was a warranty job

Ask Sigma Sam about it over on SIDC (assuming it is a sigma alarm that is)
