A new remote has to be ordered from Subaru HO and costs Y18000 (about US$220). The reason it is so expensive is that they will have to make a new remote specifically for your vehicle and to do that they need the Chassis Number, the ID no. on the remote control unit (which the dealer thinks is behind the glovebox) and if you have it, the key no.
According to the dealer there is no other way to program the remote for Japanese spec models.
PS Will send you the info on programming the code to use the drivers door latch once I have double checked it by trying it again on my vehicle.

Thanks again for the help and info Paddlesnz { Are you from New Zealand??} I may go for the remote, even at that price, but will hold on ordering for a wee while. I am awaiting a new alarm. If that has a fob that will interact with the central locking, I would not need the expensive OE model.
