Hello all, 2001 bugeye, since changing the battery the key shaped light flashes when the car is locked, and when I leave it unlocked it still flashes, I dont remember this happening before i changed the battery, i had to lock the doors manually with the key, as the alarm had drained the battery, hence buying new battery, It has the standard subaru fob with 1 button which locks and unlocks the car, which I presume is the immobliser , when I connected the new battery the alarm did not chirp, any Ideas what to do to stop the key symbol flashing?

Does this symbol not mean its immobilised? I think it automatically arms the immobiliser after so long of not being started. As soon as you put the key in it should deactivate and start.


I think .....

Thanks, it starts and runs fine and does not flash when running.If I went outside now and looked through the window the immobiliser red light (near the clock) and the key symbol ( near the speedo/rev counter) would be flashing, I use the fob attached to the key to unlock and lock the car.

The key light senses the chip in the key when it's in the ignition I think as long as there isn't a problem I wouldn't worry

They key symbol flashes alongside the LED in the dash to confirm the vehicle is immobilised, goes out when key is in accessory position.
