check ebay - they are there from time to time. if you don't like the garish orange remote, i remember someone (or a few people) on here managed to overlay or replace the top cover with their own design cover. you could make your own on some adhesive-backed plastic (i'm pretty sure they have that stuff you can run through your computers printer ?). i'd be happy to make up a design in Photoshop if you tell me what you want. maybe i'll do mine, too.

I still can't bring myself to pay that much for an SVX transmitter... Have you ever opened it to replace the battery? It's the most simple electronic device I've ever seen. The electronic board inside takes up about 1/4th (if that) of the whole surface area...

Yeah, it's wild that you can buy a DVD player for what that dinky remote costs. But remember, we're talking about a single-application electronic device that dates back better than thirteen years. Technologically-speaking, that's ages. The dealership asking $150 has probably sold 'em for that repeatedly. dcb |

i can vouch for subaruparts.com, as i just ordered a remote frrom them last month for $50 (dealer wanted $78) and it came with no problems. The price is pretty steep, but if you really want one, thats probably your best bet.

I was wrong. Walker's has them listed for 77.94... Not even in stock.
Chaplin's Subaru in Bellevue, WA (my car's there right now) does have them in stock, for 59.99. How much is shipping cost through subaruparts.com? Trying to figure out if the extra $10 + Tax is near the total cost of ordering it online.

subaruparts.com/remote
http://www.subaruparts.com/catalog/?section=3#2
Edit: When I checked that link I noticed the copy reads," This item is on backorder with Subaru. We do not know when it will be released by Subaru." But I clicked "add to cart" and there was a green checkmark beside the description, which I would to take to mean the thing's in stock. Who knows...? Last edited by dcarrb; 09-16-2004 at 01:52 PM. |

I think I'm just going to make the plunge and buy it from Chaplin's. 59.99 + tax should be around $66... But they have 'em in stock. sigh... I guess mine's entitled to be retired, being 13 years old. I'll take good care of the $60+ one.
