Default Re: TCH vs. XLE Security System

No problem. Here's the extracted and modified pdf file attached to this post. The dealer is the only one that has the scanner to do the changes (it's the same scanner that, for example, is used to modify the locking function-- such as when you park, it unlocks the doors, but you can disable that). So, I would bring this file in, and ask them to activate the alarm for you. They might be hesitant, but insist on it (be friendly with them). If you installed the GBS yourself, they would have to follow these instructions first to activate the alarm, before activating the Glass Breakage Sensor. But in this case, you don't have the GBS installed and just want the first part to be activated. The Siennaclub discussion link that I gave is a good source of additional info. Good luck!

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.
