You know how it is. Find your car unlocked in the morning when you're sure you locked it last night???? Really relieved this morning to see my car (Bugeye STi) unlock itself in reponse to my neighbour's keyfob, as he opened his car (S-type Jag) ready to vacuum it out!! I'm not going potty after all!!
Does this happen by virtue of A) The very existence of a signal at the appropriate frequency, or B) by virtue of the information contained within that signal?? And, if B), can I solve the problem by getting my dealer to reprogram my keyfob/ECU???
TIA
Phil

I've returned to my MY99 on several occasions to find my car open when I'm sure I locked it. Maybe this can explain it.
I shall keep a sharper watch out and try to witness it happening.

Mine locks itself at the moment - MY01 - has been happening since the last service. I don't find it open any more, but have to be a bit careful about leaving the keys in the car.

For those of you with a Sigma alarm there is a answer - Auto lock !
If the car is opened (via fob) and no doors are opened within 1 min, the alarm will relock the doors and rearm itsef.
Great if you've got kids who "play" with the keys or a neighbour who opens doors for you
.
Sit in the car, arm then disarm the alarm via the fob, then within 30 secs start to type the following into your keypad
* 17856
* 03
* 0 or * 1 then # (0 is feature off, 1 is feature on)

guys,
The imobiliser will arm after 1 min of the key being taken out of the ignition. It is also true (at least on MY01's) that the doors lock if no doors are opened 1 min after de-activating the alarm. You can also set the alarm to lock the doors when you pull off - you need to be really careful of this though. If you ever get out and close the door with the engine still running its not unheard of for the car to lock and you to run out of petrol by the time you get back in!!
I've still got the manual for the sigma alarm in the house somewhere which has all the features & codes - anyone want me to post them up???

It can be done without visiting a dealer.
I'm at home at the moment, and my copy of the Sigma's manual (much better than Subaru's) is on my works computer.
I may have mistyped the instructions earlier.
If anyone wants the full sigma version e mail me as per profile and I'll spend the first hour of my return to work (5 Jan) sending out copies

Andy (and anyone else) - I've got a copy of the alarm manual with all the codes and how to apply them on my PC. If you want a copy just email me and I'll send you it today.

sorted now fellas Thanks to a kind chap called Alan (emailed me programming guide) i managed to sort it,
to turn on auto arm you must enable auto re arm first, you have to punch in *17856 *05 *1# this enables auto re-arm, then you have to punch in *17856 *03 *1# (auto arm) or 17856 *04 *1# (auto arm including door locking)to disable any of the features punch in the code as before but instead of *1# at the end you will punch in *0#
