got it to work. guess my on & off key technique/timing. needed to be slightly different for my car. thanks!

wish it was that easy. i followed the direction exactly from my book. went to his car when i couldn't get it to try with another vehicle and see if my technique was correct. no dif. between years.

bought a used 2000 OBW that didn't have the remote with it. bought one & tried to program. i also can't tell if it has the subaru security system. when the car is off the security light flashes, but i can't find an alarm horn nor do the key/lock sequences cause the alarm to arm/disarm/horn chirp. i'm thinking the security light is set to flash as a dummy when no alarm is present, but i'm not sure? back to the remote, i can't get the horn to chirp once to enable program mode. is a subaru oem key needed as i only have an aftermarket key? my roomate has a 2001 OBW and so i have the technique down pat. i can get his into program mode every time! my car just won't go into program mode. any ideas? think the sucurity light is causing the problem? think i have additional wiring/control unit problems? key causing the problem? anyway to reset? no other electical issues have been found. where is the security system control/horn if i would have one? thanks :-) bill

stock is 50mm. can i get away with 45? will this move the wheel in or out? any way to compensate? thanks, bill

looking to buy with 70K miles & 5sp. what should i watch for? thanks, bill

i live in colorado and i'm looking at a 2000 outback that is from california. in the past cali. motors had extra emissions which i don't want as they suck power. does the 2000 have this? thanks, bill
