As a family, we've had many Subarus with keyless entry, but none have had the Code Alarm system from the late 90's. I've just installed module on my 98 Foz, and it works. It just does a few strange things that concern me. I'm not certain if this is how the unit is supposed to function, or if mine is glitchy (purchased via online salvage.)
First, when I unlock the doors both the overhead light AND the dash/door-open lamp turn on. Obviously, there are no doors open yet, so I found this odd. I understand the overhead light completely, it's the dash light that's got me confused.
Also, after driving, when I switch off the ignition, the same thing happens. Instant overhead light (which didn't used to happen until the door was open) and dash/door-open lamp come on. In this instance, these lights stay on until I use the FOB to lock the doors. If I manually lock them (routine habit after 3 years), the lights still stay on.
So basically, is this normal operation? Anyone??
