Question

Parked up at a customer site in Docklands yesterday for the day. When it came time to leave I tried to unarm my alarm and nothing happened, checked the light on the keyfob sender unit - was working, unlocked the car using the key, got in and tried to start newly rebuilt car...........nothing, totally dead. Called Subaru Asist, explained what was going on and they promptly despatched the local recovery firm. It turns out the was an array of Sattelite and microwave transmitters at the bottom of the road, he towed my car to the other end and low and behold the alarm system started working!!!!! Anyone else ever had or heard of this?
