  1. I own a 2000 Subaru Forester Dynastar edition into which the dealer has just put an alarm system ... I think. The part they billed me for on the invoice is H7110FS201, listed as "SECURITY SYST." And an alarm does now arm when I use my keyless entry, but I'm having my doubts after I found I couldn't trip the shock sensor feature, even when I stood on the running boards and rocked the Forester back and forth big time. Q#1: Is the factory setting for shock sensor sensitivity really low on Subarus? But there's more. Looking under the steering column, I saw to my great surprise the original keyless entry unit (Part No. H7110AS011) with all the new alarm wiring going directly to it. The alarm emergency overrride button, the valet switch and flashing armed light all have been routed into the existing keyless entry unit that was installed in my Sube at the factory (judging from the layer of dust on unit.) Looking at the pin description listing on the keyless entry unit, it looks like I was given an alarm system by simply connecting a pre-installed capacity in my H7110AS011. But the dealer charged for a separate (and expensive!) part that they never installed. Q#2: Have I been had? Anyone had experience with an upgraded H7110AS201 factory keyless entry versus a new H7110FS201 "Security System Upgrade - Forester/Impreza (98MY~)" ??
