The factory Brant system (
http://www.brant.com.au/ ) are still available but if you search the WRX forums you see that most people remove them as they are more trouble than they are worth.

2 of the most common problems are the system just switching off whilst the car is running (one case the guy was driving 100kph on a freeway) and the other is the unit failing to recognize the PIN code, causing the car not able to be started.

I'm not sure abut their R&D work but maybe search google for issues with the Brant system and narrow the searth to results less than 1 year old.
