Hi, I have just put a new stereo in my 99 wrx with SA1020 keypad security system, I disconnected the battery as I was soldering, after reconnecting the battery the immobilser won't accept my code ????
Anyone had any experience with this?

Help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

Josh

I assume that is the factory fitted immobilser from Subaru. If that's the case then you'll need to contact Subaru and beg them for the master code

Yeah, it is the factory fitted one, bummer, no cruzin for me today
Only picked the car up last week too

never ever disconnect the battery on a car with a brant...the keypad battery will only last 20-30 minutes in most cases, and thats when its got alot of juice left....

so yeah, get a master code, or get rid of the brant...

i thought if u disarmed the brant before u disconnect the battery then it should be fine??

thanks for the tip!.. was gonna weld some eye hooks for 4pt harness, which means disconnecting the battery.. ill have to pop into subi me thinks

No problem with yours mate...'03 onwards have a 2 week battery backup, so not an issue.

Yours doesn't have a long backup battery, but you don't need the master code. PM me and I will give you instructions on how to reset it...easy job but does need 2 people.

i should have stressed i meant jens my00 *whitewave* oops .. but thats handy to know for mine. hmm 2 weeks...mite go a full fia cage while im at it !!

Thanks to Nauli, your advice allowed me to start the car and get it up to Subaru who then reset the code for me. I owe you a beer mate!!
Saved me having to get a tow!
