Hello, is it a sigma alarm? I had major problems with that alarm when I had a classic, park 50 feet down the road, wouldnt disarm, try lifting the bonnet and keep pressing the fob, that worked for me a few times.

 

yeh it is, ill try it now thanks for the reply

 

still not working under the bonnet

 

same here with my wagon i had before near any overhead power cables wouldnt disarm got fed up with it and repaced alarm with a toad one all sorted

 

get a new alarm i had alot of problems with the sigma m8

 

can i reset the immobiliser code for the keypad?

 

Overhead power lines & mobile phone antenna masts both cause major problems with the sigma, get someone to help you push it downthe road and try again! I spoke to an AA man once and he reckoned at one point he used to get 2/3 calls a week just because of it! Hopefully it's nothing too serious.

 

try opening the bonnet, get back into the drivers seat, and try it from there, and also reach under the footwell and somewhere near the alarm led (if yours is the same as mine was) and the try it, keep trying it, also if the ploice, ambulance fire brigade drive past, make sure you press it!! strange I know but in my classic every time they went pas I could get it to disarm. Hope it works for you, only other option is to tow it some where away from mobile phone towers, power lines etc

 

push the car down the road......

 

thanks for the replies im by myself so im waiting for the recovery wagon, theres nothing overhead but im about a mile away from the main police headquarters in ripley

 

That might be the problem, their radio's interfere with the alarm, so many times I went to Shell to fill her up, paid, and the bloody thing wouldnt start, I did notice though that when the emergency services went past, if I was quick enough and pressed the fob, it would work. Last time I parked about a 1 and 1/2 miles from a mobile phone tower on a hill, thats when opening the bonnet and trying from inside the car worked.

 

got her home still no luck under the bonnet new batteries etc can i manually bypass the immobiliser?

 

if you know your pin codes etc you can

 

thought so, no i dont know the code, i dont know why the spare fob wont work, unless the immobilser/alarm has packed up.

 

If you can send me your reg via pm , we can get your pin code from subaru as long as it hasnt be changed by someone else

cheers rich

 

thanks for your replies ive sorted it now

 

what did you do to fix it?
