removing remote start shutdown

Is it truely a Factory Remote Start?  I believe they are one button remotes. 

Or is it a dealer installed aftermarket remote start?  ( Is there a brand name on the remote? )

The wiring guide is only the cars basic wires, color & location, and has no info about a Factory Remote Start.  It is possible that as a Factory Remote Start it is normal for it to shut down when a door is opened.  Did you ask the dealer about it and if it was possible to change  that option?

I believe the Subarus are factory pre-wired to allow the dealer an easy install by just plugging the R/S modules to connectors in the car.  Try looking on the net for the Subaru factory remote start kit and install guide.  The install guide might tell you if its a programmable option.

Bad news.  I found the install guide.  The system is supposed to shutdown when you open a door.  There are no user programmable options.  PM me if you want me to send you the Subaru Install Guide in pdf format.

Here is a link to the site with the guide if you want to download it yourself.  Just scroll down to your car.

you wont be able to do the shutdown. the car has 4 independant door triggers, but the triggers themselves are through data from what i remember.

you can try probing the unit for wires that go ground when the door is open. if you do find that then using a relay, you can break the connection between the unit and doors, therefore it wont shut down on you.

With the Subaru factory R/S, if you attempt to take over without the engine shutting off, it will set a code and the security light will stay on until you cycle the key off  and on again.  Gets confused if it sees two transponders at once. Doesn't seem to actually hurt anything though.

Don't ask me how much time I spent trying to figure out why the light kept staying on until I realized how it was supposed to work.
