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.

AAARRRGGGHHH! I almost fainted when I read this. That sounds totally rediculous. You can buy a totally good Doberman for that much and just let it sit in your car when you leave it (Did that with my 80 Capri RS Turbo -- only paid 50 bucks for the Doberman though). And, when it's not protecting your car, you've got a great companion.
Are you SURE the US spec remote can't be used or retrofitted, Jiminy Crickets -- that's crazy. <rant mode off>
