I'm so sorry to bother you, but it is kind of surprising news that the proper alarm software is already programmed in, but just needs to be turned on.
But here is my problem: your second link doesn't work, it asks me to log on, can you post the info here instead, for easier access?
I'm also little confused: the thread mentions some V5 instructions being 35 pages long, but then it says something about dealer using scanner and inputing following sequence " Customize menu > OPTION SETUP (3) > DOP SECURITY (1) > ON > YES"
So do I need those 35 pages or just follow the sequence here and be done with?
And how do I get that scanner? I really hate to be depended on the dealer all the time, being at their mercy and pay for the privilege of setting things that should be user options.
BTW thanks for the info, but it really stinks Toyota plays this secret dirty games and makes a lot of people to pay extra huge amounts of money for the stupid alarm, which is already build in.

By default, the ECU settings have it off. There was no additional installation or anything. Another thing is that I did not have the glass break sensor installed.

I just showed them these instructions:

So, I'm assuming that this method might work with the Hybrid/LE/SE models. Anyone want to give it a try by bringing in their hybrid to get the system activated? |
