Haha my bad.

I would of thought a brand new product would come with tech support from the dealer.

It does, unfortunately they want to charge for everything they do.
I remember being told that it would be free to get the keypad setup on the 08 and 11, yet I've heard of quite a number of people being told that a one off fee of $150 applies...

I got the key pad set up at my first service from Subaru Osbourne Pk no charge... The beep when locking and unlocking sounds good... Any one tried pressing the button 5 times and had any luck?


using the Perth-WRX mobile app

^Yes, up to the 07 model the process I described in my post is standard for activating or deactivating the lock/unlock chirp.

Not sure if the chirp has been completely removed on 08+, I would think its still there if you have a brant keypad enabled...try it and report

I tried pressing unlock 5 times and I tried pressing lock 5 times, but with no results, probably a new alarm system in these models ?

I really don't see why WRX owners should have to take the car back to the dealer every time they want to change a factory setting.

Then I would guess they changed something in the 08+ no chirp.
Ring up and ask the Subaru if it's possible to have the chirp on your model. Also it may have something to do with the key position on the brant alarm box(the one inside your engine bay) for that feature to work. The beeps come from this box. Best ring Subaru Osborne park and ask IMO, the service guys will know for sure.

Subaru WRX/STI Manuals: 2014 Impreza WRX/WRX STI Owner's Manual - Page 104

Click left one page to get to the options for the security arming / disarming part.
Dunno if this helps at all.

i read th manual mate on this when i got mine and its not chirping for a reason.. if you go to your car one day, unlock it and it chirps it means the car has been tampered with since it was locked and to be cautious. this is because most thieves for these cars will hold you up personally for the keys and code. manual says if it chirps to be extra cautious and even mentions locking it back and walking away. it keeps this up for a while then the chirp seems to dissapear.

Found this on Subaru Sigma alarms from scoobynet... looks like this is it

turn on ignition
press remote key fob button
press 7 on keypad
turn ignition off again

Chirps are now activated - you get 2 chirps on locking and one on unlocking.

Reapeating the same procedure with * instead of 7, toggles between loud/quiet chirps.

Other codes:

0 - Allows you enable the alarm even if one of your doors/bonnet/boot cannot be shut.

2 - Disables ultrasonic protection if you want to lock animal/child in the car.

4 - Enables automatic door locking

5 - Disables 4

8 - Displays vehicle battery voltage with LED eg 12 flashes = 12 Volts

9 - switches on "super lock" - when activated can only be disarmed by using the 4 digit pin code. Handy if you leave the car in dodgy places.
