Argh, these remotes...

...they really are the biggest pieces of crap. Mine don't even get used a lot. My wife bought me a new remote les than five years ago. In that time I've driven my car about 13k miles. So most of the time the remote hangs on the hook, unused.

I just had to solder the antenna wire back onto the antenna in the remote. Before I did, the range was a maximum of about 10ft. Sometimes it didn't even work.

The range is better, but upon putting it back together I noticed that the corners are cracking, which means the case won't stay together much longer.

These things really do suck. Does anybody know if the remotes from another Subaru model work? Does anybody know who manufactures these things? Maybe another car from another namplate uses a similar system with compatible remotes that don't fall apart.
