Non starter

hello

i tried my car this morning to find that it wont open with the fob(i can get in manually) this means the immobiliser is still armed.
is there anybody on here who knwos how to rectify this?
i should mention its an 04 fob with the one button on it and that i have no manuals with the car to find the passcode for the keypad in the car.

cheers

When you try to start the car does the alarm go off? I had this not too long ago when the key fob had lost its memory, changed the battery then reprogrammed the key. If this is your scenario then I would try this, change battery,reprogram key, then reset key code using instructions below:


Provided that you can disarm the system with a working Radio Key or the current PIN, then you can program new Radio Keys into the alarm system yourself, using the keypad, at any time.

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*91*n# (where n is the total number of keys required to work the system)
- Press each Radio Key briefly in turn (the dash board LED will flash and the siren beep each time)
- Once the nth Radio Key has been programmed, you should be able to arm/disarm the system using any of the Radio Keys programmed.

It is essential that all Radio Keys required to operate the system are programmed together. Any keys not present during the programming sequence above will no longer operate the system.

Resetting pin code:

Provided you have a working Radio Key and can disarm the system, carry out the following:
- 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

the alarm doesnt go off.
i cant get my hands on a battery until tomorrow so even if i take option B i may not have a working fob to disarm the system if you know what i mean.
im thinking of getting it teared out and going aftermarket now

Hmm, I was under impression that if immobiliser was still armed & you'd unlocked car via key & tried starting car that the alarm would go off? You sure immobiliser is still armed?

So basically key fob won't open central locking/un-arm alarm & won't start car, but when trying to start it doesn't set off alarm?

This is over my head mate! Sorry, sure somebody else will offer advice for ya.

it has an additional device a blackjack system.
ill have to ring the dealer tomorrow and get them out to sort it.

Oh, I see, don't know anything about them.

Have you pressed the blackjack button. It's an anti hijack panic button usually somewhere near the gear stick. But I can't see why pressing that would stop your keyfob unlocking the doors

could need a new car battery

could be there's not enough power in car battery to unlock doors?

when you turn ignition on, are you then pressing the button on key fob?

you have to press the button if the ignition has been on for a while but car not started?

Sorted

subaru had to re-code the key and change the pin on the keypad.
i wasnt given a reason to why it had changed itself.
next step REMAP

If they did it for nowt then that's good, if they charged you then if it happens again instructions above will show you how to re-program your key.
Either way, pleased you got it sorted, nowt worse than a troublesome car.
