Alarm Help Please
Discussion
Went to start our GB270 this morning and the alarm wouldn't de-activate as a result of a flat battery through lack of use. Can anyone please confirm that when I open the door with the key, I know the alarm will go off but if I then put the key in the ignition and turn it to the second stage (as if dashboard lights were on)and then put the alarm pin code in via the key pad in the drop down panel this will turn the alarm off?
Thanks in advance

When I opened the door, the alarm didn't go off, then tried to jump start the car (alarm was chirping so managed to stop that via the keypad with key in ignition) but couldn't as the battery was that flat. Bought a heavy duty charger yesterday and after charging the battery for 3 hours, car started first time.

Search something like 'Impreza key' or 'car key repair'. It wasn't at the top of the search, it was about £15 a key + postage IIRC with a 2-3 day turnaround. He changes the microswitch on the key and the battery, uses an RF scanner to check the key's output. Top service.The button on one of mine is almost completely useless now

Following on from the above problem a couple of months ago. How long would you expect a battery to stay charged for before it goes flat.Thanks in advance

Basically we took our GB270 out for a long run on Sunday of last week, then 8 days later on Monday of this week the recently fitted new Bosch battery was flat as a pancake.
Due to my wife's change of job, the car is usually now only used on a weekend (but it has been like that for 6 months and no problem until the above happened in September), the car is alarmed, immobilised and has a tracker and a parrot hands free kit fitted but would this cause the battery to go flat.
Unfortunately I cannot use a trickle charger as I only have one garage and another car is in there!
Any help would be much appreciated.
