Re: What have you done to your SVX (or other Subaru) today?

I'm glad your long drive also went well! The SVX is very good in poor weather, though I wouldn't drive my current one in the snow as I am also afraid of the ice melting agent's effects.
Or, the keyless entry unit may be bypassed in your car. The original key remote uses infrared rays and will not work unless you are very close to it. Therefore, radio keyless entry was later made available as an option. I believe it was a dealer option, not a manufacturer option.

Many people are replacing it with radio waves. My car has also been replaced and the additional unit is placed in the driver's footwell, around the SSM connector. In my car, the original keyless entry ECU was also not removed and the two units are working in parallel.
