Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. I have a remote starter for this car, too.
I have been having a remote starter put in every car since I moved to New England . my first one was in a 1996 Subaru Legacy L It had an idiot remote, just one button . I had one installed in my 2003 Baja , 2003 Legacy , 2010 Forester, . they all had the little box up near the rear view mirror . When I had the remote starter installed in my 2014 , Forester touring, my 2020 Forester touring and my 2020 Forester Sport it looks like the system is already wired in the harness. no Little box?
