I may have partially figured out the click and unclick 20 time problem. I had my battery out several weeks ago and despite my many attempts I could not get this method to work again. I tried to piece together different scenarios and here is what finally worked for me. 1) Buckle seat belt 2) Turn ignition to the "second" position 3) Wait until the seat belt light stops flashing 4) Do the click/unclick 20 times 5) I don't remember if I unbuckled and then turned the ignition back off, or left if buckled when I turned the ignition. I don't know if it matters or not. Finally, it worked. I'll see if it stays set that way.

As of today, a 2006 3.0R Outback Wagon. Silver. Much better than the 98 OB it replaced.
