Default blob sti key pad code

Hello all, ive just bought a 2004 blob uk sti but it hasn't come with the code for the keypad, how do i go about getting the code? i've tried the previous owner and he dosen't know it either.

Is it a case of phoning subaru albeit the code hasn't already been changed or is there someone that can re programme it for me so i can use a code of my choice?

There is a way, I've done it on a couple of Impreza's but I'll have to find the link.

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

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

ok thanks for that mate, i have the working key/fob so i'll try option A. What happens once the system locks up if the 3 attempts are exceeded?

I've never found out, I suggest you don't either

If you have two wrong attempts then I would suggest leaving it, and starting the engine and trying the next day just to be safe

thanks for the info mate

Is the kep pad there just to arm and disarm the alarm setup if the key is lost or is it a secondary immobiliser system?

arm/disarm the immobiliser.

It is also used for changing alarm settings (e.g. autolock after a certain period, bleeps / flashes on arm/disarm etc), in addition to programming keys.

Have a nosey over here for all the features: http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.p...HiddenFeatures

Btw in my experience dealers are useless when it comes to alarms. Mine wanted to charge me 700 quid to change the alarm system instead of reprogramming the keys/code using the working key (they were changing all keys and barrels at the time). I had them change the barrels and changed the code myself
