Hope no one minds but these are so gorgeous, I thought some of you may be interested? 
Genuine STi key, (New Age only as the key type is different to earlier models).
(£23.00 each + VAT)

They look great, but one little question before I buy one. Do they work with the MY01 WRX's immobiliser? Reason I ask was that I was tempted to get one before, but my local dealer (Anthony Betts, deceased) claimed that it would work.

PS. Any chance to a reply to my query about the MRT uppipes - it seems tha tquite few people would like to buy them and it would be a shame to have to get them from the states.

This is a simple key, no encoding or chip Etc.
If your key has an immobiliser/proximity device included this would not work, (unless the key was close or you disarmed the immobiliser with the button first)?
Mike.
We have the keys in stock.

I haven't seen that query but I will ask Jase to look for it?

Alex,
The key even though it isn't part of the standard 01/02 alarm system does still have a chip in it that enables the key to work.
I found this out why I tried to use the spare and the electrics would come on but the engine refused to play. With the key I used all the time it was fine.
10 minutes at the dealers and both keys were reprogrammed and both turned the engine on then!

Doh.. thats weird..
perhaps I'll take my key apart later
My understanding was the only intelligence built in to the key was to lock/unlock the doors, subaru UK take the batteries out of the key so this doesn't work, the reason being to encourage use of the key fob due to the UK fitted Sigma M30..
Ah well, you live and learn - sorry Duncan.

Right, I've just had my key to pieces and there is a proximity device in it in addition to the radio device (previously) used to lock/unlock the doors. So, the question has to be, does the STi key have a proximity device? Mike?

It is the radio device that is disconnected. It would look like the STi key doesn't have it in, the price is way to low.
The normal keys are about three or four times more expensive to replace.
You would also need take the STi key (if it does have the proximity check) to a dealer and get it reprogrammed for the car, at a small cost to you!

Actually rereading the thread Mike said this:
I guess not then... get to keep the lumpy key then!

OK, just back from the main dealers. If your car has a transponder chip (you can see it if you look at the key sharp end forward), this key will not work.
2 options.
1) I am looking at having the key slotted to accept the transponder which can be transferred (bonded in probably), into the STi key.
2) Transfer it yourself.
Item 1 will of course increase the cost slightly but will still work.
