My Keyless remote control is “DEAD” however my system is somehow engaged. In order to start my 99 Subaru Forester I need to reach under my dash and hold in the emergency override button. Car starts fine every time. Is it difficult to unwire this keyless system? I’m not going to keep this car much longer. Will probably replace car before end of 2013. Easy fix or keep driving as is? Any possible problems if I keep starting car with button release? ---

Have you tried a new battery in the remote ? ---

in my wifes 98 legacy to disable remote started disable was as easy as removing a part in between ignition switch and remote reciever. Then the 2 plugs plug together Then I was able to totally remote alarm altogether and install an ebay $25 keyless system
