monsterenergy Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 I got a text when I set of my alarm by mistake last Monday... can't get the sms status working though Link to comment
big den Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hi I spoke to Subaru UK yesterday who said that they were aware of the current situation and in constant contact with Metasat but cannot tell them how to run our rectify issues in their business. The guy I spoke with suggested trying an alarm activation to see if I got any comms from metasat which I did and was pleaseantly surprised to receive the 'alarm activation' text almost immediately, although, it was dated for 19 June instead of 22nd!! I later retried (mid afternoon) the SAT.STATUS request and did not get a 'text delivery' confirmation or a reply until around 2am!! At least things seem to be working if still a little eratic.

g1983 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Can metasat be used if your not the cars first owner. important missing red envelope apparently Link to comment
The Don Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Can metasat be used if your not the cars first owner. important missing red envelope apparently Don't see why not, Subaru just needs to "re-register" it for your name and numbers. (probably cost you €100 though) Not sure of red envelope significance ?? Link to comment
g1983 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Just the pack had the red envelope missing. maybe it self destructed ;-) Link to comment
salsa-king Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I was 2nd owner of my car. You need the dealer to contact MetaSat/Subaru and notify them of change of ownership, you can't do it.. or every tom dick & harry would be doing it. lol Once the dealer had notified them of my car it was swapped to my name that afternoon. you then get emails sent to you with login deatails etc. Link to comment

dabiscuit Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I've just heard from a friend of mine who knows the guy who sold me my car. my friend said that the salesman clocked my car doing some miles an hour (i won't say for legal reasons on the m1. apparently he knows this because he checked my metasat account. firstly i didnt even know my account was set up and secondly why the hell is the salesman looking at something that should be my personal details. i feel a bit violated.

monsterenergy Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hmmm got my new Subaru - and it's texting me when battery disconnecting - but still no SAT.STATUS response Link to comment
salsa-king Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 anyone tried their Sat.Status from their phone recently? I tried at the weekend.. I got a timed out text back.. tried again then got only one text.. then followed by Timed Out/no response in a set period of time. Is it acting up again, can we ask for a discount next year?

monsterenergy Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Just did a sat.status and it worked ok. I had my alarm go off for an unknown reason a couple of weeks ago and text came from a number I wasn't expecting. This sat.status just responded to this new number. Maybe worth forcing an alarm by removing -ve battery lead for a minute - or by locking the car with the drivers door open, think that works too. edit - have you got 2 mobile numbers set up? Is it working from the other phone? I think ye need 2 numbers these days for it to work. Edited September 27, 2012 by monsterenergy Link to comment
dabiscuit Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Mine seems to be working now though it thinks the national speed limit is 89mph on a motor way Link to comment

monsterenergy Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) only got one mobile set up.... two cost you more credits. Maybe that's why yours isnae working then? AF Nobles mentioned to me that it now required 2 numbers to set up and work properly. Edited October 2, 2012 by monsterenergy Link to comment
salsa-king Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I've emailed them. But TBH, I've not had anyone contact me telling me anything has changed or told me to have two mobiles on it.. its a bugga as I only have one mobile. Link to comment
l137sws Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I have 2 phones registered on my Metasat, neither of which get a response at the moment. Didn't get asked for a Tracker this time. Starting to think it is more hassle than it is worth as I get no response 50% of the time, a response after 1-2 hours 40% of the time and the occcasional response within seconds. Thinking about drafting a letter to Metasat suggesting that they accept liability in the event my car is actually stolen and the unit does not respond. Doubtless, my insurer would run a mile if the car was stolen and the unit did not work. Link to comment
monsterenergy Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Just checked mine again - response within 3 seconds. Why's my missus at my best friends hoose while I'm offshore? Link to comment
