Brant alarm troubleshooting when reconnecting a battery.
This did not happen to me but for others after reconnecting the battery the alarm will sound and there appears no way to turn it off, here is what you need to do:
Quote:
BRANT RESET
• You need two people to do this
• Your car battery must be fully charged and in good shape
(1) Disconnect car battery negative terminal for 5 to 6 minutes
(2) Hold down 0 and # at the same time on the keypad and reconnect the battery whilst still holding down
(3) Release 0 and #
(4) Enter 0 four times on keypad
(5) The keypad is now reset to accept your PIN

From what I have read the brant keypad has its own battery back up, however this can become flat over time. If it becomes flat then you will either need to reset it with the method above or with the override code provided by Subaru.
Luckily the previous owner gave me both the override code and the personal code for the car when I bought it, I haven't had to use the override code but I hear that Subaru will make you take the car to them then charge you for putting in the code.
