SUBARU MY05 Impreza - central locking & key problem

[kouks911]

I bought my Subaru brand new, last winter the key (auto opening
system) only work during the day when it was warm, but would
malfunction in the early hours of the morning and late at night (the
temp was noticeable colder) summer time no probs whatsoever. This
winter the key wont work at all, so I thought ok the battery is dead.
I just changed the battery (yes its in the the right way) and a BIG
FAT Nothing. Spare key (never used) samething wont work. Car is out of
warranty, and I dont want to take it to an auto-elec in case its a
fuse or somehting silly like that.... HELP

I have a "05 Outback with the standard radio. Is there an XM in dash radio
available that looks like it belongs and not just another add on?

You may need to 'register' the remotes to the system. The procedure
should be in the manual. It probably can be found at
http://www.cars101.com/subaru/keyless.html or the dealer can do that for
you.
