OEM Alarm

[Surf_MoFo]

my 3rd gen surf has an alarm operated by the central locking buttons on the fob, im not sure if its a toyota alarm or an aftermarket one , any idea how i can tell, there are no signs of an aftermarket alarm, so whats involved with the oem alarm ?

[Surf_MoFo]

ah, im assuming its alarmed as when the remote locking button is pressed twice the horn toots , is there another reason for this and do all surfs do it.

i decided to go with direct line for insurance and they require an immobilser to be fitted so i can buy one for £35 off ebay.

Car theft is not a serious problem in Japan and seeing as Surfs are imports I doubt you will find many with a factory fitted alarm. Insurance companies know this and that is why they usually insist that an after-market alarm / immobiliser is fitted before they can give you a reasonable quote.

i see, i have just tested for an alarm by opening the doors from the inside and no alarm went off so it seems there is no alarm fitted right enough, thats dissapointing

so why the hell does the horn toot when the remote button is pressed twice
