Hi all, My sigma alarm on my impreza doesnt make a beeping noise when arming/disarming, But it does make a noise when the alarm is triggered,Im just wondering if this is how it should be or if you can programme it to beep on arming.I don't know the model number at the mo but check it if needed, Cheers.

 

All i get on mine is the four flashes of the indicators, think thats the way it is.

 

Yep i get the four flashes as well, Didnt know if someone had messed with it tho.

 

I have read there is a way to activate certain 'options' using the keypad if you know your alarm pin code. Sounds a bit dangerous to play around with though.

In saying that I have previously done this on my VAG car using OBD.

 

you can change it , they can be made beep , im sure someone will put you a link in a min to excess the hidden futures , you can do it with the subaru alarm tool .

Thanks for the info guys, Very helpful, I will have a good read through it tomorrow.

 

Anyone actually used this and can you do any damage?

 

i have lights and no bleeps
try this its along read but usefull

I would quite like to have the lights and the beeps

 

when bought new you have a choice if you want the beep or not, mine didnt have it but had to have my alarm looked at and subaru turned the beep back on for me

 

Did subaru charge anything to do that for you?

 

So according to the document, to set the beeps to 'on', arm then disarm the car alarm system using your remote key,
then on the keypad type:-

* 17856 * 00 * 1 #

Now who want's to try this one out first

 

Think it is illegal in the uk to have the beeps.

 

Think you're right, but what are the consequences?
Just plead ignorance and claim the car was like that when you bought it and if worst comes to worst set it back to off. I had it on my last car for about 2 years and no-one ever complained. Someone above has also quoted Subaru dealer offered to switch his beeps on lol.

 

Why is it illegal to have them turned on? Seems a bit strange when loads of other cars have alarms that beep when armed.

 

Thinks it's to do with anti social behaviour laws or the likes. Cars beeping at 5am in the morning or late at night can annoy the neighbours

 

True, But people on my estate make enough noise and wake me up so i wouldn't be too fussed about a little beeping noise coming from my car. i think i might get a louder exhaust on as well just to keep up the noise level.

 

Sadly the law is the law and if you got an awkward police officer they might report you instead of giving a warning,it`s your choice but why look for trouble?.All covered by "The noise and nuisance act1993".

 

so what if your car as a tracker and you dont know your car has been stolen because your lights are only flashing and no sound of alarm being activated me thinking all the bleeps and sound of alarm are linked SO BEING TURNED OFF surely that doesnt help anybody

 

If you look at option 6 & 7 shows you how to turn beeps on and off.

its a little worrying to see that there could be laws with referance to the beeps .. my alarm has always beeped

 

not shore if it will cost anything as my alarm was playing up and they said something about putting the beeps back on so when i went back to them to get it fixed i remember them saying this and asked them to put them back on whilst fixing it as for being illegal i wouldnt of thought so otherwise they wouldnt of put them back on!!

 

Thats what i was thinking,If it was illegal then they shouldnt have been able to be activated.

 

I think some of you are getting mixed up with the chirp/lights flash when you arm the alarm ( chirp usually switched off to comply with CAT 1, I believe.) and beeps/lights flash when the alarm has been activated.

 

yeah it flashes once and beeps once when you unlock the car and flashes twice and beeps twice when you lock it!!!

 

Yeah got mines flashing and beeping now too, works a treat

 

ive had it on mine for the past yr,

also had the auto lock option on so when u got to 5mph it dead locks the doors.and can only be opened by the master switch on the drivers door or by the key fob.

perfect for the mrs driving around at night just incase someone takes to much of a fancy for the car lol,

 

did it work first go, Im a bit worried that i might **** it all up

 

I did that for the same reason. But its not 5mph, as as soon as the ignition is on. I have an MY00.
