Great info! Needed this for my old 2014 Subaru Forester 25i Limited.

Will this work if the 2014 Subaru Forester 25i Limited has an aftermarket alarm?

I’ve got a 2012 2014 Subaru Forester 25i Limited, would this method still work?

My 2014 Subaru Forester 25i Limited might finally get back on the road thanks to this.
