When leaving my 05 OBW parked for a while away, I'd like to immobilize it so that orinary hot wiring etc. would not work.
In the old days removing the distributor rotor arm would do the trick but now I'm thinking of removing a major fuse. But I don't want to lose any settings etc. by doing this.
Comments?
Theres probably a fuel pump fuse in the engine room. Removing that should only affect the fuel pump
try the ign fuse
Your immoblizer key should do the trick.

It's a Subaru. Press the button on your keyring, and have faith.
It's impossible to "hotwire" one in the traditional way. To get the thing running and moving, there's quite a few lockouts, and the ECU is tied in with the alarm IIRC.... Don't worry about it, it ain't going anywhere.

As an autostart specialist I can assure you that it can be hotwired in a matter of minutes with the factory "alarm" turned on.
If I had one, I'm sure it would :-)
