Do I have an aftermarket alarm? How do I disable it?


Recommended Posts

I went to the dealer yesterday to replace my wife's key remote. The Subaru one doesn't match the key fob on my keychain... The car (1998 Legacy L wagon) has remote locks and an alarm system. According to a Subaru tech, there was no factory alarm option on that car that year, which means I have an aftermarket system??

 

How can I completely disable the alarm system - siren & ignition kill? Does anyone know if a standard Subaru key remote will still work with this? There's no brand name or anything on the siren (mounted on engine firewall near pass. side), so I don't even know where to begin finding out where this alarm may have come from.

Do you know the original owner? Is this info available through Carfax or the dealer who may have sold you the car? Perhaps this trail of bread crumbs will help identify the original dealer, installer or manufacturer of the alarm. Who knows, you might even make it operable.
