That sucks for the BRZ Limited owners but you might be in the wrong section...unless this a glitch that is also in the GT86.

The recall is expected to begin by the end of April, and it only affects Subaru vehicles that are equipped with the remote starter accessory kits, meaning that OEM keyless entry fobs integrated on the vehicle key don’t apply.
I'm not aware of a subaru remote starter accessory kit for the BRZ, thus, not a problem.

yup. Beat me to it!

Marcoscrdo 03-07-2013 08:16 PM

Yup that's why i rather just get in the car and start it old fashion way not lazy. BUT "OEM keyless entry fobs integrated on the vehicle key don’t apply" so doesn't matter.

Chauntalei 03-07-2013 08:19 PM

Yeah, keyless entry and remote start are 2 COMPLETELY different animals. BRZ Limited owners running stock keyless entry have nothing at all to worry about.

Brzetto 03-07-2013 08:36 PM

I don't do remote starters, the risks outweigh the benefits. I remember the news snippet about someone leaving their mustang in gear and it taking off with the remote start was activated by accident. My BRZ isn't this car anyway.

Just another reason to own a stick shift.

I dont understand where you're coming from with that?
A manual is quite often left in gear when turned off, especially on a hill, which should be common practice. If a remote start is engaged, this will not be good for the car I would imagine.

You don't usually see OEM remote start offered on manual transmission vehicles.

That if you properly park (in gear, handbrake engaged) I doubt the car will actually start or lurch off. Might burn up the starter motor trying.

And OEM's don't offer remote start on manuals.

Sslow, I hope another AT vs MT debate happens in this thread too :P

BRZfan 03-07-2013 09:29 PM

Used to be with my '69 Camaro, BITD, the four-speed had to be put in reverse when parking and "remote start" was nonexistent at least as far as I knew.

"the recall affects some Legacy and Outback cars from 2010 through 2013, Impreza sedans from 2012 and 2013, and XV Crosstrek crossovers from 2013."

Reading comprehension seems to be low these days.

If the above has not 'sunken in" to our brains allow me to add an excerpt from the last paragraph of the news release:

"it only affects Subaru vehicles that are equipped with the remote starter accessory kits, meaning that OEM keyless entry fobs integrated on the vehicle key don’t apply. Subaru has said that the defect doesn’t pose a risk while driving, so the chances of getting an accident due to the glitch are extremely low.
[via Reuters]"

So STOP dropping those keyfobs and go back in the house.

I saw that, I was like "what the hell does this have to do with my BRZ?" :thumbdown:

Sounds like limited hatred still. Can't we all just get along. Lol

How can you debate obvious fact?!

Can a limited 6mt start itself? If the car also engaged the clutch, yes.

BRZfan 03-08-2013 09:03 AM

Just to be clear:
"the recall affects some Legacy and Outback cars from 2010 through 2013, Impreza sedans from 2012 and 2013, and XV Crosstrek crossovers from 2013", It cannot at least in this specific recall case.

Not really. Autos are not intended to be left in gear. It is usually put in what is called "PARK". There ARE numbskulls that don't understand these things however and crashes do occur. I recall that one of the famous Three Stooges put the automatic transmission in "R' mode. He thought it was "Right straight ahead".
