Remote Entry

[AO]

We have a 2002 outback. The issue we have is that we have the remote
keyless entry remote that came with the outback when we bought it
along with another remote that was not original as the original was
lost by the previous owner. When we lock the car with the original
keyless remote and then try and open the car with the other keyless
remote the security system kicks in and will not allow us to start the
vehicle. how do we go about getting this non factory keyless remotes
to work together so we can use either if the vehicle is locked? This
might be a dumb question, but also, when we lock the car with the
remote and try and open the car with the key the alarm sounds. Is
this correct? Can it be disabled? Thanks for the help in advance.

I tried to reply to this earlier in the day but somehow fumble fingered
it.


Don't feel like retyping the procedure to make both keyless entry
systems work but it should be in the manual. It is for my 2004
Forester. Basically, you just turn the car on and off 10 times in 15
seconds.

When you lock the car with the remote and try to open it with a key, it
is programmed to set off the alarm
