guys my fob wont disarm the car, not sure why and obviously cant start it and now I look like a thief!! ive unsrewed the battery hoping it might give me 30 seconds to start with the red led on, nope still flashing

any ideas anyone please I done the trick under the chin etc - the fob lights up okay, Im parked just backing on to a railway - should this matter?

any ideas appreciated I dont want my scooby left to the vultures and chavs

any advice happily recieved! _ i shall cycle back there after walking - i appreiate the nature of this is sketchy so PM is fine if you dont want to post any thing public

 

do you know your pin number for the remote pad?

Have you tried to disarm in the car with ignition on? some early alarms did have interferiance problems from either electrics or mobile masts. do not remember sigmas having this issue though

 

sadly no I dont, just awaiting RAC - thank god I got my laptop with 02 mobile broadband - the key fobs playing up now - maaaaaaaaan

 

thats not good if you can not disarm the alarm you will not be able to program in a new remote there is a factory reset code for the alarm but you need the serial number and to phone sigma being an authorised dealer only. the dealer can reset your pin number at the same time as putting in a new remote

 

Hopefully its just radio lockout. Have you tried it again since you got it home?
MAke sure you reset your pin to soemthing you know.

 

right i may well have just have gotton a code from subaru, with the alarm going off off do I just punch in the 4 digit number? or do I need to press any of the * or # buttons also please? its a sigma m30 standard uk turbo 2000 fob wont work at all now

 

just the pin with it going off should disarm it

 

didnt work sadly - do subaru hold an emergency combination does anyone know please? - Im bloody stuffed without my wheels this easter holiday

appreciate any input guys

 

So you got the car home and the fob still dont work? Def try and change the batteries before you rule out the fob.

 

changed the batteries yes, and the fob doesnt work at all with any batterys now - the led wont even light up - could be a dry joint on the circuit - I think im going to have get a new one, but over easter wheres open? - im calling every subaru dealer first thign tomorrow - log book in hand - I just want to get mobile again

 

would buying this be a way round do you think?

sorry ment this link

 

Doubt if that would help, well it would work, but do you really want to have to replace the alarm unit.
The fob from Subaru is 35 quid, so you may aswell get it from there, for them to code it. Its just getting the car there that will be your problem.

 

thanks joey - might have be my option like you say - mission getting to the dealer 30miles away

Ive taken the fob apart, the circuit board was rather corroded in places I used a small toothbrush and a tiny bit of petrol to remove the corrosion/furring - the LED now lights up again when flexing the board slightly and pressing the button, offered it up against the car itself again, still nothing - this has been my whole weekend so far

as appears to be working now (the led bit anyway) can another fob be made up using this one as a template does anyone know?

thanks for all your replies guys

 

im sure its been tryed already but i come across alarmson occation if you dissconect the battery for 5mins some times it can reset the alarm module or just kick things back into action by chance its worked for me b4 may be worth a try

 

thanks matey, I've tried this - wish it was that easy!

 

To be honest you will need a mobile dealer to visit you I have the hand held programmer
To do this but you are to far away
They then can reprogramme the new remote in without the keypad bit
have you got the original pin number
