It's a bit nasty this so cover your ears OK?

(what else?)


Didn't notice and the battery dropped out on my driveway . . . .

Good news: wife found it http://www.bullhonkie.com/images/emoticons/20.gif

Bad news: didn't know what it was so threw it away http://www.bullhonkie.com/images/emoticons/50.gif

Anyone fancy taking theirs apart and telling me the number off the battery?

Thanx in advance

Wow, Mr Leigh is good! (Or he has further information!)

I would need to know what alarm system you have fitted to your STI V before even hazarding a guess.

CR2025 is the battery for a Sigma CAT 1. £3 from Halfords or 99p from

Dear Anoraks all,

I'm sorry should have made it clear that it's the battery for the SUBARU KEY not the Sigma alarm fob (which doesn't have a stoopid screw waiting to fall out).

My key doesn't have batteries. What does your key do that requires electricity?

My key also has a battery - and on mine the screw also fell out and so I removed the battery and used superglue to recreate the fob!

PS The battery powers a little lite so that you can insert the key - not needed on Sigma cars with remote locking.

Not that its relevant - but I dropped my entire Key set, alarm fob, everything down a grate yesterday morning - which was a bit of a bummer. fortunately I have Supergard gold cover so I am insured against the costs of replacements - I had a spare set on me - always have all my keys in case some idiot brakes in the house while i'm on holiday or something.

Only problem I have is that the the original Subaru keyfob acts as a central locking key - suppose I should not be that concerned as the Sigma key overrides the need for it. I dont know yet if it will be a problem getting a key cut as the Subaru key system is a bit weird - i.e. you have to push it in to get it out again, but I guess this should not be a problem. I have always noted that there is only one way to put the key in and its a pain when you put the key in one way and it does not turn, you put it in the other way and it does - and I know this effects most Scooby owners - just hope that the new key will work

Another go . . . OK my Subaru key controls the central locking on my STi5 (same as Steve's) - or least it used to http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

So any nice person out there with a remote Subaru locking key care to help with battery number? (I know I don't need it but if I don't replace it "something" will go wrong.

cheers

PS hey Steve - I think it was a bit extreme throwing your keys down a drain to save on buying a new battery, really can tell you're an accountant you know! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/tongue.gif
