Haha like the last bit , no it seems ok, but I did read up on this prior to purchase
As thanks to munk we know that driving a Subaru/sigma into the circle of lost signal around a police station can cause you some Serrano grief as in the cars never going to leave under its own power for the next 2-300 yards away,
That it was a recall and Subaru had to shield the alarm some how, and the MY00 cars got this, now having owned to many Subarus I know the sigma remote works fine from a distance and mine does but soon as at home it requires to be about 5mm away from the car to function lol ,
Just for the others to get where myself, munk and Scott are talking about it,
The MY99 and MY00 impreza UK models only- came with the standard sigma alarm function, how ever this alarm runs the same signal frequency as the police station does, meaning that once the car is switched off the signal is unable to go from the key fob to the Ecu and resulting in the car not being able to start , but pushing/towing the car several yards away it works like nothing is wrong,
It does not effect the key code tho as this is hard wired in and not requiring a signal,
And as you can gather I live in this wounderfull circle of bliss, resulting in having to have my key fog nearly in the car to unlock it haha
