Hey all
My First post and sadly its not an introduction.
I just bought a MY03 B4 Liberty and its already giving me security problems.
Firstly the Engine some times stops even while driving. and then it takes for ever to get it going agen.

After it shuts the engine down, the 7,4,1 buttons on the keypad light up in that sequence. After some random playing around with the key unlocking and locking the car it will go but then shut down agen.
The original owner told me he ones had the battery die and had to tow it home. (which freaks me out that he toed it)

So im asking, Is removing the system all together an easy task for an average auto lec? or will this have to be done by a Subaru specialist.

I will make a Introduction post soon with pics but im in desperate need to get this problem solved or i will be stranded on the high way.

I will post in your introduction topic. And I'm pretty sure Asgaard isn't too far though. I am unsure what could be wrong with your car unfortunately. There are many blokes (and chicks) on here that could help you out though.

This has been covered many times before.

The BRANT alarm in your car is known to play up, All the time.

Look up brant alarm problems on google and it will open up a world of options for you.

My old wrx had a brant, I bought a autowatch alarm and installed it using the brant wiring harness. Worked a treat and never had an issue after that.

My alarm now is making a strange sound now even when the car is switched off and the doors lock. If it keeps going im afraid its going to flatten my battery.
Its the last straw im getting rid of it

Hi,

It'll be the best mod you make to your car, ripping the bloody thing out.

Cheers,

Is it true if i rip it out no one will insure me?

[skillionaire]

Hi,

You need to replace it with something. But I can't see how an insurance company would have grounds to not insure you?

Cheers,

Most insurance companies require you to have an immobiliser to insure u not an alarm

I'm now strandard in a car park.

I put the code in but it will not give me the power light and it won't start and I can't even open my windows

Hi,

What a pain in the arse. Brant's are so annoying. Are you sure you don't have a flat battery?

Cheers,
Nik

Ok im home! Left the car in the car park will go back in 4 hours time try it agen. If failer to start im getting it lifted to my house.

So far for what i know is, The system works fine when ever its had a decent amount of rest. For example the previous owner did not driven it for a while, and i drove home from Sydney with no problems. After i got home i got back in and went to Mc Donalds, after 4 minutes wait in the drive through it shut down and would not give me the power light and windows would not operate. it eventually started after a good 15 minute wait.
This morning i started it up a few times and drove it around the block no worries. started it up agen and went down to the shops no worries. That was the last time it started.

Iv tested the car battery. 12V and 14V when running so battery is fine and is getting the charge it needs

My conclusion is the more i use the system the more it will do this to me.
Is there some sort of memory battery that needs to be replaced?

If anyone knows how to bypass it can you PM me

Also by doing a bypass dose this make it into a RX liberty system ?
that's all im after just a setup in what you find in the RX models

Is it true if i rip it out no one will insure me?

Most insurance companies require you to have an immobiliser to insure u not an alarm

I would check with your insurance company and argue that without the Brant, the vehicle still has the the factory immobiliser. (the micro chipped key)

[HowFarToAsgaard]

So Even if i rip out the Brant system, i will still have a Factory immobilizer like a regular liberty?

[RX25SE]

I believe so.

Is there a flashing key symbol on the dash when the key has been removed for a short while?
