Default 97 (MY98) GC8 - Immobiliser hassles

Hey all,

Bought a 97 wrx from the auctions in adelaide. Unfortunately didnt have a key. Got a locksmith to cut me a key but he couldnt recode the transponder chip. It was coming up with a communications error.

Got a local locksmith to try and his computer does the same.

Something may be wrong with the obd port. Not 100% sure.

Local subaru dealer is full of first year apprentices as it seems and they cant even tell me if they can fix it. Another guy said $1000 for a new key.

I have a couple of questions.
-Does anyone have any info/pinout/photo of their obd plug so i can see what might be wrong?
- Worst case scenario, can you disable/bypass the stock immobiliser, so i can then get a new alarm and immobiliser fitted with the current key i have.

Any advice would be great.

Got my first WRX and can't drive it
