I bought my MY02 from a dealership...I have seen the keypad...how do I find out what my number is?

Thanks,

Stringpants.

If the previous owner has NOT changed it, Subaru will know it/how to get it.

I have a key pad to,but i have no idea what it is or what it does.

There should be a printed slip in with the handbooks somewhere, just like you would get a radio code.

Well, it is all in the alarm handbook if you have it.
But it allows you to alter a few of the alarms functions, along with setting it and disarming it from the keypad. If it is like mine, then i can set the alarm without ultrasonics through it, check my battery strength through the red LED on the dashboard using it, set whether i want the doors to lock when i have the ignition on, and stuff like that.
But more importantly for me, i have had a problem where the remote unlocking/disarm does not work for some reason, and then without the keypad i would not be able to turn off the alarm and disarm the immobiliser.
So it is worth finding out your number and how to work it

I will have a look at my handbook etc..see what I need to do next.

It should be on a silver sticker on the cat1 certificate.
Change the code as soon as you find it.

you can change the pin to whatever you like and you don't need the old pin to do it either.

Provided that you can disarm the system with a working Radio Key or the current PIN, then you can re-set the 4-digit PIN to one of your own choosing yourself, using the keypad, at any time.

If you do not have the current PIN, then option A is your best solution. However if you do not have a working Radio Key, then you will have to use option B and obtain the systems PIN code from Subaru (UK). Your dealer can obtain this for you if you can provide proof of ownership and the alarm systems 16-digit serial number.

A. Using a working Radio Key:
- Arm and then Disarm the system using a working Radio Key.
- Within 30 seconds of disarming, type into the keypad- *17856*92*wxyz*wxyz# (where wxyz is your new PIN code)
- Arm the system with the Radio Key
- You should now be able to disarm the system using the new PIN code

B. Using the current PIN Code (if a working Radio Key is not available):
- Arm and then Disarm the system using the current PIN
- Within 30 seconds of disarming, type into the keypad- **abcd*92*wxyz*wxyz# (where abcd is your current PIN code and wxyz your new PIN code)
- You should now be able to arm and disarm the system using the new PIN code

Instructions on doing this can be found in the security systems Operating Instructions. If you do not have these, a link to a copy can be found in the post at::

When using the keypad always observe the following points:
- The PIN number should not be entered too quickly or too slowly - when a digit has been pressed the small LED built into the keypad will illuminate briefly as confirmation and only then should the next digit be entered.
- If an incorrect digit is pressed or the delay between entering digits exceeds10 seconds, then the LED above the keypad will flash rapidly and the PIN attempt should be abborted and started again after 30 seconds.
- Due to the small size of the keypad some users may find a rubber tipped pencil easier to use. DO NOT use the sharp tip of a ball point pen etc, or press excessively hard on the keypad as this will only damage the membrane and cause a digit to remain pressed, causing a continual incorrect PIN.
- The keypad allows only THREE PIN attempts and then will "Lock Up" if an incorrect number is entered a third time. This is a security feature to prevent random PIN attempts disarming the system.

Hope this helps.

Thanks very much SS,

That is a very informative thread reply and whats more it works.

I have now changed my PIN to one that I can remember.

Much appreciated.

Once again Scoobynet to the rescue!
