I recently purchased (Nov 08) a 2009 Legacy 2.5i SE 4Auto and had the dealership install an OEM Subaru remote starter. I deactivated the audible horn chirp to prevent disturbance of neighbors in the morning (I live an apartment so the car is near others' apartments and I don't want to wake them when I leave in the morning, I already got a scolding). The problem is that when I twice push the remote starter button on the fob, I never know if the car is going to quietly start, honk the horn once then start (which has been disabled repeatedly), or sound the alarm - horn honking, lights flashing - and then start. So much for being a good neighbor. I stopped using the starter at home. I've tried different patterns of button pushing to figure out what it prefers. Nothing seems to help. I am taking the car into the dealer for routine service tomorrow and so they can check out the starter; I would like to be able to direct them to a source if possible. I am now beyond frustrated because I got it so I could start the car before I leave in the morning but I can't even use it because it's disruptive. If they can't fix it, I may need to have them remove it. Bummer because it's nice to just get in the car and leave. |

I have an 09 Legacy with the remote starter and when I start it up, the lights flash, the doors lock and the car starts. There is no horn that goes off. Hopefully, it is just some programming that the dealer can do for you because it is a nice feature. Robert |
