My car has the blue fob immobiliser from the 2 years when the remote signal gets obliterated if you are near a phone mast or emergency services signal.
I could manage using the keypad now and again once I found the pin

I have two problems now:-
​​​​​​1) I've moved house to where there is a mast so the fob never works at home.
2) Changed the fob batteries and it's now hit and miss when using the keypad - the alarm keeps sounding and fobs not working anywhere.
Can't reset fobs at home as signal immediately drowned out. Thinking of driving a few miles away if it will start !

SO !

Has anyone been there and done it on either getting a 'signal booster' fitted (did Subaru do a part years ago?) Or getting the m30 replaced?I

It's stopping me from enjoying the car...

its not a signal booster you need

whether or not you can even get the SACC 3465 module anymore you might be left with ripping out & replacing the alarm system. which isnt really a big job as yours is not linked to ECU

I'd agree get the a new system put in, i'm wanting to replace the old rubbish Cobra alarm. Its abit dated now.

I have the newer Sigma alarm system fitted to two of mine , they have both been very reliable and easy to fit , it will be the same connections you have from one cat 1 to another cat 1, so very straight forward , my third Fsti i took the older cat 1 off on broken fsti and refitted it , which was very straight forward , only issue was the central locking wiring was different from an 05 to an 07 Fsti 👍

IMMOTEC is the man you need regarding key fobs etc....

Remember getting a full a alarm system fitted by local auto electrician for few hundred. Contacted someone few days ago prices start from £500-£1000 plus removing your old alarm system is extra.

The chap i use 300£ fitted as of a few months ago , if it’s removing and replacing it should be straight forward to do 👍

Apparently Subaru UK do an upgrade kit from the old Sigma M series alarms to the current S series.

Would you have anything on that? I did contact my dealer about whether (a long shot) the Upgraded Sigma ECU was available SaCc3465/56, but they didn't mention a general upgrade option.

BUT having done a new i search I found and read your original thread below from September 2014, the "upgrade" he mentions above was probably for the revised M30 model mentioned in your thread.

Surprised you didn't upgrade it back then.

However there is this (SmithysSTI another Subaru tech)

Maybe worth speaking to a Scorpion Automotive/Toad installer.
