Well, I just finished changing my spark plugs (being careful and not disconnecting my battery so i'ld have no alarm troubles) As i was doing my last plug (closest to the battery, the hardest one) the alarm went off a couple of times (turned it off by clicked open on the central locking button) Went in the car after i had finished to test it, and BAM! it won't let me enter my pin code, I turned the ignition to the "ON" position and the keypad was just blank (usually lit up red) and it won't let me start it! ITS A SUNDAY SO SUBARU ARN'T OPEN! Can someone PM or post details on how to fix this without taking it to subaru??? Cheers, Tom

Try sitting in the car, with the key out of the ignition lock it with the remote, then unlock with the remote. Similar thing has happened a couple times to me and thats worked.

Hi, After the heartache of my B4 ownership involving brandt alarm systems, I couldn't possibly not try and help. It sucks so much. Wait till you get some work done on it and they let the battery run dead, then you realise the dealership you bought the car from hasn't updated the Subaru Australia register to your name on the car, then you get investigated for auto theft... THEN and only then have you truly owned a brandt equipped Subaru. Glad it's all sorted, quick fixes rock. Cheers, Nik

Perhaps a few edits are in order so this isnt a "how to steal a b4" thread, remove a few key details perhaps

Hi, I have a big secret for you, but my PM is broken, so here goes. Mods please edit if you deem this to be over the mark. PULL THE forking THING OUT! If someone told you insurance will change with a different AM alarm - punch them in the penis. Cheers, Nik

How much would it cost for a brant-a-rectomy though?
It works most of the time
