Wrx Keycode Pad, Is There An Aftermarket Version?

[NateR31]

Anyone know if there is a aftermarket version you can use on any car? I thnk it would be nice for that extra bit of sercurity!

They used to sell one at jaycar when I worked there, not sure if they still do, but they were only about $50'ish... give 'em a call

[Lazy-Bastard]

Autowatch have a nice keypad which is very reliable

Get the brant nemesis.. Search for Alan Jong.. he installs them.. around $1000..

it's a 6-point - but really.. 3-point + 3-point keypad..

Works well.. haven't really had any issues, only problem is the range of the receiver to unlock/lock the car.. about 2m..

Read page 1 and 2 of this one.. plus the rest for people's thoughts on it..

thanks for all the replies guys

[Chris Rogers]

the one posted in the NS area is an autowatch item. leon (SIM) sells them in sydney I do them in brissy.

they can be added to most autowatch alarms as an add on.

forget brant- no longer worth the effort.

Out of interest Chris why would you say that? regarding forget brant?

One of the reasons for myself getting a brant alarm was that I didn't want someone stealing my keys and also the visual deterrant the keypad has..

Realistically if someone wants to steal it they will.. and it's fully insured.. but I guess anything you can do to protect your car helps..

I've been really happily with it.. only issue I have is the distance that the remote works.. it's terrible!!..

Have a look around see what you like.. if you were in qld.. def go and see Chris.. however I don't know about vic..

^^^ links serious??

the distance should be way more than 5-10m.. heck i think even 13m.. ASk alan to get you a new remote.

Speak to you online dude..

Hmmm.. interesting.. cheers Sidd.. i'll have a chat to you online..

[Chris Rogers]

thats one of the issues with the brant remotes. they had a trim pot that needed tweaking in them.

I would be worried about the numbers wearing off after time which may suggest the pin. Farnell sell a vandall proof keypad with the numbers etched into the buttons which are metal. The whole thing is a metal unit making it very difficult to open up.

[SS8_Gohan]

if it's a 4 digit pin won't all buttons be used equally? hence equal wear?

[Michael_1882]

no my 5 digit pin only uses 3 buttons, $100, or $150 fitted i'm not worried about numers if they starteed jsut scrape them off or somthing. Oh thats not my car btw, i mounted mine in teh center consle so i dont' even look at the numbers when i type them in.

I have to add you dont' get to chose the pin, it comes with one and its' actully a 5 digit pin.
