Default Re: RS 3200 Alarm for the TCH

Looking for more feedback on the VIP RS3200 Alarm. I have it on my TCH, the dealer will pull if off if I want. I have 10 days to decide. They had a terrible time getting info. on the alarm before installing. Toyota Canada had no technical info. and had said the alarm was not a geniune Toyota Part and that if it caused any problems the warranty wouldn't cover it. (I have a case number now.) I have tried the alarm. It allows me to enter no problem, but the passive (automatic arming) isn't working. So.. I have to pull the fob out of my pocket when exiting the car to lock the car and arm the alarm. (a deal killer for me, too inconvenient). When I use the black button on the door handle it locks my car but doesn't arm the alarm. Does yours work differently? And the radar that senses the zone intrustion, (someone grabbing an item off your seat when the window is open and the alarm is armed, isn't working. (It also doesn't set the alarm off when I open the trunk when the alarm is on) The instructions specifically warn you to disarm your alarm before opening the trunk. I think the problem is that the manual for the alarm talks about putting a reg. key into the ignition 3 times in 5 seconds to set up the passive (automatic alarm). How do we set this function with our push button cars? No one is able to tell me. I will get the alarm yanked next week if I can't dig up a response. tx. Also interested in what the other member Steve V. mentioned about having the car auto lock even though the black button on the handle isn't pushed. I thought that was the default. I'd like my car to do this.
