I)arkZrobe Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I am having a real hard time trying to get into the remote programing mode for a 99 Subaru Legacy Outback. It has the alpine style remote. I have followed the procedure exactly as described in the manual... doesnt enter programing mode... Tried it with the brake pedal depressed... doesnt work... Disconnected the battery... still doesnt work Tried everything I could find on this board and other websites... still doesnt work Any suggestions?

Suzam Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I'm not sure what your manual says but try this link at cars101.com and see if it's the same procedure. Let us know how you make out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J A Blazer Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Pay attention to my post in that earlier thread. I had your problem and couldn't get around it without disabling the security system, the particulars of which I no longer recall but its documented somewhere.

Are you holding the button down on the security module? If you don't keep holding it after the horn beeps, it won't program. You have to press the button until the horn beeps 3 times, and then KEEP IT HELD and press the button on the remote. I had the same problem on a car at work.

I)arkZrobe Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 My car doesnt have a security system... I think it once had a after market one because the remains of the connector are still screwed under the steering column. Could that mess with it? Also I got the impression the Alpine models doesnt have a security module. (I looked anyway and didnt see any buttons...) I also stumbled across that thread and the links, but no luck. I am really starting to worry that it is that after market security system that is to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I)arkZrobe Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Does anyone know if the after market security system (whats left of it) could cause problems in programing that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
