Colourfyre Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 My '99 (but your 01 model) doesnt have the security system... Is it possible to add this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Racing Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Anything is possible with enough money, except certain types of cancer..... You're looking for the factory OEM system? This is possible, but it would need to be wired to the horn, the ignition (If it has an immobilizer feature), and the parking lights to work properly. If you want a shock sensor you'd have to wire that up too. Aftermarket systems are similar, except most don't have the immobilizer or shock sensing systems, unless you want to shell out the dough for them.

eekay Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Personally, I would go with an aftermarket system if you're already going to be shelling out cash. Might as well get something with more features... My 9.3 cups EJ22 makes me feel like my **** is 2.8 decimeters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
error Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I want to do the same thing. Keyless entry module and alarm module are dealer-installed accessories. Our cars should be factory pre-wired, and all is needed is to stick in those modules. I found both on ebay ($40 each), but wanted to check the wiring first... do not have time... A local junk yard might have something too EDIT: factory alarm is a joke. If you need a security system, go with some serious aftermarket stuff. Good systems have remote relays hidden all over the place and disrupt 5-6 vital circuits simultaneously. Very good systems also have GSM+GPS modules, so you can communicate with the car via text messaging: get the system status, car's location etc on your cell phone. May be an overkill for a 10 year old car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Racing Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 If I'm going to do any major investment in a car, I buy components that I can rip out when the car dies. My truck for example... I've got a steering wheel a radio, dual truck boxes, Edelbrock intake, MSD coil, APC foglights, and a bunch of other parts that I'm gonna rip off before I scrap it. I'm getting another truck, sme year, same model, same motor... I'm gonna swap all the parts onto the new one when I get it. Even the new cap/rotor, plug wires, spark plugs, fuel filter and thermostat are coming off. Yeah, I'm that cheap (And the parts don't even have 300 miles on them). You can recycle a security system, and if you don't want to, you can always put it on eBay and get some cash back for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfang Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Subaru doesn't have an immobilizer until some 2005/2006 models. Besides for the money, you are better off going with something non oem.

Colourfyre Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Yeah people say that but the service manual I have for my car says that it can have an immobilizer, there's even a picture of it mounted under the steering column. Also I want to maintain factory spec and not use other parts etc. Seems like most cars here in Nz have the alarm but mine doesn't... I already have remote locking... (is that what you meant by keyless entry?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackfang Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I am referring to the US models.

Colourfyre Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Oh, sorry about that. I get mixed up between this and another NZ Subaru forum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
