Thanks for the info. I'll try again tomorrow morning maybe the needle I used to make contact didn't penetrate the isolation on the yellow wire well enough. Do you have a schematic on that ignition part ?

I've installed a remote starter on my 99 obw, but I have a problem. The remote starter detects engine start by monitoring voltage and/or tach signal if present (if the tach wire is connected). It works well with voltage detection however if I leave the a/c on then after the car starts the voltage is lower than the threshold expected by the remote starter and it shuts down the engine because it thinks it didn't start. So I have to connect the tach wire, but on the DEI website it gives me some wire color codes that don't match with reality. Probably in 99 subaru changed the wiring (I suspect this because they've changed the security system also and put an Alpine and on the website they merrily state that the alarm disarm wire is some green color whereas the Alpine is known not to have a disarm wire). And to get to the point (finally) I need help in identifying the three wires (red/green, yellow, blue) in the coil plug. I tried to measure the voltage on them, but strangely enough they all have the same voltage (AC of course). I even tried measuring the DC because I expected to find a 12V on one of them and there was none (again strange). So if anyone could help shed some light in this matter, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I know that page. However I've never thought of e-mailing them . Will do that, maybe they know something. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. Ultimately I'll have to resort to a home rigged scheme (perhaps with a microcontroller since it's cheap, effective and configurable), but I'll try my luck on the alarm first. It's gotta have the autolock feature and if I can find it then a lot of people with less technical abilities can use the info if they so desire.

Thanks for the answer. I looked all over the net but couldn't find any user manual or any info for that matter. My last hope was this forum when I found it. I'll just have to do a trial and error approach to see if I can come up with anything. Can you tell me where the alarm module is supposed to be located? I'm assuming it's gotta be under the dash on the left side of the steering column, but it's kinda freezing outside and I can't spend too much time looking for it; I just wanna take it inside and disassemble it to examine the circuit. Thanks

I have a 99 OBW Limited with an Alpine alarm (security system). Is it possible to configure the alarm as in previous CodeAlarm models (with dip switches)? Also I need to know the location of the alarm module. Thanks.
