P1 Newbie
Any idea why my P1 does not have the prodrive sticker underneath the indicators?
Also I was not given the code for the Sigma alarm keypad in the glove box, when is this kepad used? I'm worried the battery may go flat at one point and without the code I may not be able to immob the car. Subaru said they coudl half an hour with it and their laptop and give me a new code, but there must be another way?
Otherwise I'm very happy with the car, and has had mixed reactions from my mates- ugly waste of money to, all subarus should have looked as that.
It seems the coppers like pulling me in it too
Cheers-D

I recently had to replace my rear prodrive badge, that was circa £68 and took weeks to arrive. Its now attatched by velcro and taken off when parked up.
Go with the 30 min for a code. I never use the thing inn the glove box anyway. Better to know how it works though in case your batteries in the fob fail, or youre parked under a police mast etc.
Finally, ditch the mates who not like the car, they obviously lack taste

The keypad as you say allows you to override the alarm if the battery goes in your keyring 'blipper' , it also alows you to change some of the features of the alarm too . If you were not given the code you can't change the code to one of your own , therefore if a previous owner were to be a little on the bent side it wouldn't be hard for them to take your pride and joy .Get it to the dealer so they can give it a new pin code of your own

The keypad lets you use other features like auto doorlocking when ignition on (v. usefull), allow/disallow keyfobs (recommend disallowing all fobs then reprogramming in the ones you own for the obvious reason), temporary disallow all fobs (for when going on holiday so even if your burgled and they have the key, they can't easily knick it). Worth getting the code and then immediately changing it to something personal and memorable.
