Finally got it! Had to try the procedure twice before it worked, but what I did was: Open driver door. Unlock. Get in, close door. Cycle key, lock->on 10 or 11 times. Got the honk. Opened and close driver door. Pushed a button, got two honks. Open and close driver door. Pushed a button on the second remote, got two honks. Removed key, and got 3! Wohoo! Guess I just didn't have the right finesse the first bunch of times. Thanks a ton for the help Glenn and Glen. --Nick

Thanks Glenn, I think I saw your post in the archives while searching through. I spoke with the dealer and they said if it didn't come with keyless, they could install it in an hour or so for $150-$175! I'm going down next week for clutch and brake trouble, so will have them take a look... for that much money though I'll do some searching for the box you mention, maybe it's avilable from ebay or some of the other subi parts places. I'm pretty sure the remotes are ok, came from a dealer as part of a deal. Orange/Blue buttons.. but will double check. Was it just a box to install with some minor wiring (i.e. just plug it in)?

Hi all- I just picked up the remotes for my 02 legacy outback, and I tried following the procedure in the manual to program them, but no dice. I get in the car and close the driver door, and cycle the key 10 times on to lock, but I never hear a beep. Was I wrong in my assumption this car came standard with keyless? It's listed as standard on the cars101 site, and when I lock and close the doors, I get a honk. Maybe i'm missing something? Thanks for any help.

I have problem with my '02 outback, figured I'd see what you guys thought before I bring it down to the dealer.. When I startup when the motor is cold, usually first thing in the morning, the rev's will initially idle around 1500 or so, then drop to the point where the engine almost stalls, and then kick back up to 1500 or so again, afterwards it idles fine.. Maybe a sticking IAC? Thanks for the help. --Nick

Not positive about a '90, but if the motor never reaches operating temp, the computer will stay in closed loop mode, which keeps the mixture rich..
