Sigma M30 keypad problem..HELP!!
Hi all, new to site and looked for past 2 hours at all threads regarding this alarm system however none have answered my problem.........ive just purchased a classic subaru impreza 2000 with this M30 alarm,i have a keypad with the * and # key (on the top of windscreen) as well as all the numbers however the problem i have is the keypad doesn't work, the red light just stays contstant ( doesn't flash even when a digit is entered) i have the original pin plus the new pin it was changed to but none worked, i even tried changing the pin if you dont know the new pin etc but that dint work either. both key fobs work and i have no trouble of alarm goin off etc cos i can enter the vehicle , its just that when the need arises i.e when i do get stuck nr a mast etc then i wont be able to input a pin on the keypad, i'm not sure if the previous owner has somehow damaged the keypad by pushing too hard on the digits, i cant see it being locked out cos ive waiting past 30 mins and it seems starnge that the light just stays constant, doesn't even flash when a digit is pressed,very strange....any ideas?

sorry joey , i dont explain myself really mate, wot i meant to put was where normally is the alarm box itself inside the car where the key pad wire will go to, i do know that the older models did have their key pad on the windscreen at the top but my uncle has same car and his is situated in the glove box too ( keypad that is )sorry the confusion, cheers

SS is the man to speak to.....
The keypad should be in the glovebox, the alarm controller is behind the dash, up under the steering column in a gold coloured (passivate coated) steel box.
Tetra radio tranmsitters can affect the fobs ability to communicate with the ECU (you need the later so called 'shielded' ECU that has a narrower reception frequancy which stops this), I swapped mine for one from a breaker with SS's (online) help - took about 15 minutes (note it uses 'tamperproof' torx bolts with the whole in the bit)
Red light on permanently is nearly always due to button damage from someone using a ballpoint pen etc.
