2. A switch to turn on the Economy Mode?
Yes, it have an "Econ" button in the gearshift lever.There is a "Power" light in the instruments panel, but i prefer it to remain off .
3. Any other switches on the gearshift panel, Aerial, Power?
Yes, there is a button to control the antenna, if you unpress it, the antenna remains inside, and the "Manual" button in the base of the shifter.
4. What is the Vin No.?

Yes, i checked and there is no aiming device in the headlight other than the 8 mm regulating screws, there is also a cap in the rear of the headlight for changing the fog lamp that, in this case is absent. i would have loved an aiming system from inside and fog lamps.
I'm interested in the questions Harvey asked as well, I'm looking forward to your replies on those.
I've also another question. Harvey mentions what the Japanese call "keyless entry" which uses the door handle lifted in a numerical sequence to open the door without a key. English cars don't have this, Japanese and apparently Australian SVXes do.
If by any chance your car has this, then it is easy to check. When you lift the driver door handle does it make a "beep" sound inside the car? If you can hear a beep, then it has the "keyless entry" computer on board, and you will be able to reprogram the system to let you unlock it without a key.
Yep, my car have this emergency Keyless entry system (that would be usefull if you lock your keys inside the car ),itīs awesome!!
I programmed it with the code 2322 and it unlock the doors. I didnt know about this system untill i readed here about it. I ever wondered why my door "beeped" everytime i rised the handle with the doors locked .

If it is possible to get the keys at all, here's how it will work; your dealer will put in a back order request to Japan using your VIN code that will identify the car for them. It took about 5 weeks to get my Mitsubishi key from Japan.
If Japan can't supply a key then I can't tell you where to go next. I have never heard of any key service offering to decode an OEM infra red system, then code up a key to suit that.
Not saying somebody smart somewhere can't do it, just that I never heard of this being offered.
That is a GREAT (and clever) idea! I will ask my uncle (he was manager of the Subaru dealership) about this, i bet they can do as you said.
Thank you!!
Mad Max
Update: I asked the local dealer for the part i need and they told me to callthem back for an answer in a few weeks, there is a hope!
