sigma,again!
hi guys.just came back from dealer hoping they could give me my password code for the immobiliser pad on my bug as i have no knowledge of the original.reason being is there are 2/3 places in my town that have a high content of radio masts and it plays havoc with my car rendering the keyfob useless.i try to avoid the areas but have been caught out 1/2 times.
anyway,they said they couldnt give me one as 1,the car probably never had one and 2,it would only demmobilise the car anyway and not the alarm.
but i WANT to demmobilise the car so i can drive the car around the corner away from the masts so that my key fob works again in which i can turn the alarm off and be on my way.im fed up having to push the car until the fob works (normally behind a brick wall!) or playing russian roulette in the towns carparks hoping there arent any masts about.
so,can i get a code or not?any help appreciated

as long as you have a working fob you can reset the pin code without knowing it.
Do a search the info is available either here or on Welcome to The Subaru Impreza Drivers Club Web Site
I am surprised your local Sigma dealer doesnt know this.

Here you go:
""Provided that you can disarm the system with a working Radio Key or the current PIN, then you can re-set the 4-digit PIN to one of your own choosing yourself, using the keypad, at any time.
If you do not have the current PIN, then option A is your best solution. However if you do not have a working Radio Key, then you will have to use option B and obtain the systems PIN code from Subaru (UK). Your dealer can obtain this for you if you can provide proof of ownership and the alarm systems 16-digit serial number.
A. Using a working Radio Key:
- Arm and then Disarm the system using a working Radio Key.
- Within 30 seconds of disarming, type into the keypad- *17856*92*wxyz*wxyz# (where wxyz is your new PIN code)
- Arm the system with the Radio Key
- You should now be able to disarm the system using the new PIN code
B. Using the current PIN Code (if a working Radio Key is not available):
- Arm and then Disarm the system using the current PIN
- Within 30 seconds of disarming, type into the keypad- **abcd*92*wxyz*wxyz# (where abcd is your current PIN code and wxyz your new PIN code)
- You should now be able to arm and disarm the system using the new PIN code
When using the keypad always observe the following points:
- The PIN number should not be entered too quickly or too slowly - when a digit has been pressed the small LED built into the keypad will illuminate briefly as confirmation and only then should the next digit be entered.
- If an incorrect digit is pressed or the delay between entering digits exceeds10 seconds, then the LED above the keypad will flash rapidly and the PIN attempt should be abborted and started again after 30 seconds.
- Due to the small size of the keypad some users may find a rubber tipped pencil easier to use. DO NOT use the sharp tip of a ball point pen etc, or press excessively hard on the keypad as this will only damage the membrane and cause a digit to remain pressed, causing a continual incorrect PIN.
- The keypad allows only THREE PIN attempts and then will "Lock Up" if an incorrect number is entered a third time. This is a security feature to prevent random PIN attempts disarming the system.
The programming codes just go on and on, so not really suitable to post. What are you wanting to turn on or adjust?

I had exactly the same problem with no code, i phoned my main dealer and he looked it up , it was under the radio code which obviously does'nt have one.
I then changed the code to one i can remember using the above instructions.
The main dealer also told me to look under the ash-tray as sometimes there's a sticker with it on, on the bottom of the ash-tray.Hope this helps.
