Hello all

Problematic M30..........for a variety of reasons!

Are there any problems in replacing the whole system with another sigma M30 security system? (maybe using the original wiring and putting in a new ecu, keypad, siren etc and using the new remote transmitters). Seems the best and most reliable remedy in the long run......even if it'll cost more.

Are there any issues with the cars ignition keys i.e. problems in "dialing in" the ignition keys to the new system/remote transmitters?

Thanks
John

The ECU can be changed for another M30 unit, without having to change wiring loom, keypad, siren etc, although the existing Radio Keys (whether separate - pre 2001, or built into the ignition key - post 2001types) will need to be programmed into the new ECU. This can be done yourself using the keypad.
An ECU can be purchased from a Subaru dealer (part number: SACC 3465) for around £70. Initial programming, to set the system up for your vehicle, should only take 5 mins and can be done with the keypad again, so don't pay too much for this.

It's unusual for a unit itself to be "problematic" however, so before changing the unit, I would ensure that it correctly programmed and the sonics correctly adjusted. Most false alarms are caused by incorrectly adjusted sonics or faulty bonnet switches.

Let me know the "various reasons" and I may be able to help.
