The secont post tells you how to turn on the alarm on the limited brz. If you do this then lock the doors the icon on thendash will be solid for 30 seconds then flas after that whicn means your alarm is set the link wont post so here it is.

If anyone has yet to be able to do it here are the steps:

1) Get in the car

2) press the start/stop button two times, with makes the car to be in the start position (all your dash lights light up)

3) Lock the car with the physical button on the door

4) Press the unlock button on the door and open the door while still pressing the unlock door button.

5) Still pressing the unlock button, wait about 10 seconds, the car will beep once for activated and twice for deactivated and the information panel in the cluster will say either "AL on" or "AL off"

No worries, I tried it too and didn't work. Apparently now it automatically breaks links to other forums, but shortening it worked

You are very welcomed. I would have thought that such an important part would be pointed out by the dealer to me, but not a word. I hope a lot of people see this and activates it.

Wow, so my alarm has been off this whole time? Gonna have to go out and do this right now I think.

edit. Alarm activation successful! Thanks for writing this up.

When you say Physical button on the door, do you mean from the outside? or the fliplock on the inside?

My Fob does not lock/unlock when the car is in the on mode/engine off

Tips?

Sportsguy83 · 07-09-2012, 09:58 PM

It is fliplock inside of the door.

Spaceywilly · 07-09-2012, 09:59 PM

It's the physical button on the door armrest. While sitting in the car with the door closed and unlocked, put the car into on mode, then press the lock button on the door armrest. Then press and hold unlock, then while still holding the unlock button open the door. Continue to hold the unlock button until you see AL-on and it beeps once.
