Keyless entry BH5 rocks!

Had the chance to try this out after I locked my keys in my boot with the car locked.

If you havent done it already, its a life saver!

The only difference from the instruction is step 4 - press the 'open' button on the original key remote.

Awesome feature. Can go surfing without worrying about hiding or losing the keys. Just chuck em in the car and off you go ;D

Still get a bit nervous waiting for the locks to open though.. but hasn't failed me yet, even after a dead flat battery.

I try to keep a spare key taped somewhere special in my car.... just remembering the alarm override is the hard bit!

any solution or replication of this feature on the BP / BL era?

I tried it on the BP... It works, but it's hard to see how it serves any useful purpose.

The doors won't lock using the key or the remote if any door is open... So it's impossible to actually lock the keys inside the car at all. If you've lost the key you'll be able to get in, but then you won't have a key to start it anyway.

you can if you keep a spare in it, and happen to loose your keys....

It works on the BP/BL just like on the previous models.

It is possible to lock you keys in the car if you lock the doors and lift the drivers door handle and shut it (like every other car with central locking). So yes it is still useful.

+1 My wife loves locking the car then shutting doors :

I have rescued a few times now...

I did the old lift trick at the petrol station.

I don't know the door combination though, it already has one built in.

Coat Hanger, bottle opener and 7 seconds later though, no worries.

[Joker]

was/is a Burgler trick to "test drive" a L-GT, set the code... return later and pilfer stereo/bits etc so beware!

How does this effect after market alarms if installed?

The alarm will still go off (provided it was set). all this does is unlock the door nothing else

I was going to say - no it doesn't... but I just went to check one more time. It works if I lock all the doors using the remote - then open the driver's door using the key - then re-lock that door by lifting driver's door handle etc after tucking the key away inside somewhere.

I'll use that feature quite a bit for windsurfing... much better than hiding the key on a tire etc. Thanks for the tip!

I have a Mongoose alarm fitted... the Keyless entry is pretty much useless now... you put the code in, it unlocks, but then locks before you can do anything coz of the alarm...

[Joker]

not sure about mongoose but I bet ther is a way to over-ride/reprogram that if your really concerned

otherwise Subaru aint exactly hard to get into

i tried it on my bp by pulling the handle up for 6 sec, but the system just keep beeping wont accept any inputs, did u do something different?

[Guest]

finally got it worked on my bp, after the continuous beeping, i have to press the unlock button on my remote to stop the beep before entering the code.

[mitSUBishi-guy]

Um so for a BP, does this also disable the factory alarm system? Cos if it does this is gonna be very useful in situations like when your key fob battery decides to go flat during a day's skiing in October. Manually unlocking the car is no problem. Disabling the alarm is another story altogether. Although I didn't try putting the key in the ignition and starting the car though - maybe that would've turned the alarm off...
