Default Key fob broke!

Hi guys,

I have a 2001 wrx bugeye.

My key fob broke 2 days ago. So can't turn the immobiliser off.
With only one key fob and not knowing the pin code for the pin pad, I'm now waiting for aa to come collect it to take to the dealer.

Contacted subaru but the code they have on their system doesn't work!

Anyone know a quick way to save the journey to dealers and be charged an excessive amount?!

Cheers

My dad had the same problem with his bug WRX key fob, but as you dont know your pin code your pretty stuck, as you could have got a second hand one from a breaker on here and could have programmed it to read the new key fob/immobiliser!!
