Anyone know whether an alarm (not immobiliser) is fitted as standard on a MY01/02 ??

 

Sigma M30 is fitted as standard to the MY01 (UK) cars.

Tis on a UK 2001 WRX, but not a parrallel import.

Dunno about 2002, but I'd guess same.

Hi Blaster

if you mean does the alarm sound if the doors/boots etc are opened without pressing the immobiliser key - then yes (I have just bought a MY01). Sorry I am not a very technical person, but everyone else is probably out enjoying themselves this time on a Saturday night! (There's a nice key (inside the car)that can be used to override the alarm (provided you know the code!).

 

thanks for the info. I just picked up my MY02 imported from Belgium but UK spec ... immobiliser but no sign of the alarm !! - do you guys have a separate alarm piece or use it from the buttons on the key ??

 

Blaster,

You've not got an alarm - just immobiliser on the key.

Suggest you get one fitted or you'll have problems with the insurance!

the ignition key buttons are just for opening and closing (central locking) the doors in Japan!. In Japan they dont fit an alarm or immobiliser. In the UK you get a separate button key for the alarm/immobiliser, the buttons on the ignition key dont do anything. Jenny

 

Jenz,
It means I got done then ! Do you have a Sigma make alarm or Toad ?? Are there infra red detectors inside the car and where is the flashing red light located inside the car ?

on my uk my01 i have two sensors on the pillars next to the windscreen either side and a flashing light next to the clock and also one on the stereo and a flashing red key on the dash cluster under the speedo. i think the flashing red key is for the immobiliser and the light on the clock for the alarm,i dont know why the stereo has one, who'd wanna nick that piece of cr@p

(my car is full of flashing red lights lol )

the plasticated removable section is so cheap man ... ! does anyone know of any good alarm fitters in the London area ?? - I need to fit a Sigma or Toad system to my MY02 ...

 

Have you considered fitting a Clifford system?? Although a bit pricey, it does mean higher securtiy!!
