Hi, I have MY00 Impreza Turbo which has a Subaru CAT1 on it, I live about 1/2 Mile, but in line of sight of a mobile phone mask, this tends to imobilize my cra very often and cause's me a big pain in the ar$3....

Does anyone know any ways round this without buying a new alarm system?, maybe an add-on?, or will I have to carry round a sheet of lead..?

Thanks

Matt

Cool

Took mine to Subaru with same problem, they replaced it free of charge, and it takes just over an hour. Well sorted. Now I can park anywhere without checking the area for masts.

Well finally sorted, Bulldog fitted the shielded ECU and all seems well, even parked outside the firestation with the mobile phone mast,(Just to be sure ;-), and worked!.

Surely a Shielded ECU will block both good and bad signals !!
