I have a 1997 Legacy 2.5 GT. I just got an extra remote for my keyless entry/alarm on ebay. Does anyone know if I can program it myself or do I need to take it to the Subaru dealership and have them do it?

Thanks.

 

It is the same system that BMW has used, I have a BMW that's why I know. You can look up the programing instructions by initiating a search for "BMW alarm instructions" on any search engine. AS I recall it is rather simple to program.

 

Thanks antnyd123 but I couldn't find anything with that search string.

I did find instructions from somewhere else though and here they are, for those of you with a remote FCC ID: GOH-M24.

Under driver side dash you will find the black alarm module box. In the wire harness connected to that box, you will find a black button. Turn the key to the on position, hold that button until the ds door locks and then unlocks. While still holding the button under the dash, hit the unlock button on your remote. The door will unlock to let you know you have done it right. You will have to program all remotes at same time, one after the other while still holding the button. Then let go of the button and take the key out of the ignition. You should be done and they should work fine.

It worked for me! Hope this helps someone else.
