The beep thing is very picky. Many STI owners on nasioc have it come and go as it pleases. You can disable it according to your owners manual.


The alarm is probaly something to do with your imoblizer. Do you have another imbolizer key next to your wrx key? The chips might be playing games with each other. Did your key get really wet recently? This is why we have warranties and it's really hard for subaru to blame this on aggresive driving.

 

I have another key next to it, but its like a house key, not a car key or anything.

 

I have the same problem. It is usually raining when it occurs. My sisters Scion Tc has a similar intermittent problem when it rains. My problem is quite consistent.

HELP!

 

The Beep not Beeping is extreamly common. The other one is a little harder to trouble shoot. It's probaly the chip going bad, I know my valet key sets off the alarm each time it unlocks the doors but my 2 regular keys do not.

 

Take it to the dealership, hand them the keys, get in your loner car, and ask them when you can expect the free repair to be done so that you can promptly pick up your car.


You just paid over $20,000 for a new car, it came with a new car warranty, take advantage of it.

 

Ok so here's an update. After that incident I drive it all over stopped, shopped, went about normal stuff.. NO problems. I went back over to my friends house today, parked it in the same spot... and what do you know... it wouldn't lock LOL :rotfl: Same exact problem as before. So i stood there a few seconds like WTF? I put the key next to the key fob and hit lock... it locked NP. Am I crazy? It only seems to happen in that one spot. Would it matter that its on a slight incline to the passenger side pointing down hill?

 

I had the SAME exact problem happen to me in my 06 WRX. This was after only 3k miles on the car too. Car locked okay at first but realized I left something in it so I went to unlock it and it wouldn't work. I used the key and the alarm went off. I couldn't shut it off at first but eventually did after pressing the button a bunch of times.

This only happened to me that one time and as a matter of fact, the car was on a slight decline. Strange...

 

Ok I know my key FOB is very picky. You can hit the button a few times and nothing. I think you guys are having the same issue. My button is messed up and you can feel the difference between pushing it and no chirp and pushing it with the chrip. It's like the sensor in the FOB is moving around and not sitting under the button (if that makes sense).

 

I have the same problem. I usually just push it a few times (sometimes 4-5 times) and it works. Very strange. I think it probably is a problem with the FOB itself.

 

Ive had similar problems, but not identical. My alarm seems to beep at random. Sometimes it beeps when it arms, but doesnt when it disarms, sometimes it beeps on disarm when it didnt when i locked/armed it. I know the fop button works, because my lights still blink once to lock/arm twice to unlock/disarm. Also if i repeatdly hit the button the "parking lot locator horn" function works. But what is worring me is that when i arm the car and it doesnt beep, ive opened my trunk with the key which normally sets off the alarm, but doesn't. Does anyone know if this is a loose wire issue, or is there a 9v battery backup?

Ive got a 2006 Impreza WRX. I also had the "upgraded" motion sensor alarm installed when i bought the car from the factory.

any ideas where to look to fix this?
