Alarm questions
Hi,
So I finally got the transponder PCB to replace the failed spare ket PCB. I came to try reprogramming and ran into some issues...
The sigma alarm manual tells me to sit in the car with engine off and alarm de-activated. It states that I should enter **AAAA where A is the pin code. The manual states at this point it should beep. I get no horn sound or anything.
Therefore two questions:
1) On a WRX 2007 does it beep when you enter your pin code and is it subtle enough ot miss ?
2) I assume the code written on the owners manual is incorrect if question 1 is true. Has anyone tried this reset on an 07 wrx ?
I suppose one last question is that given a working remote how difficult is it to reset the pin if that guide doesn't work? I dont want to risk my working remote messing about. What sort of prices mam I looking at for dealer reset ?

As for obvious, batteries in fob, door boot and bonnet switches, plus the always missed sensor wiring.
Alarms always have been and always will be a cow. My last resort was to pull the negative off the battery and tap it back on a few times and bingo.
there is bound to be somebody with a waaaaay better answer than mine but thats my four penneth lol best of luck friend

Both should now be coded.
