Turn on Alarm at dealer?

rep308 · 07-10-2008, 10:11 AM

I am going in for my 5K mile service and I believe that the dealer has to hook a scan gauge to reset the "service" dashboard light. What exactly should I ask him to do to turn on the installed alarm that is not activated?

No, he resets the service light with a button sequence (it's in the front part of your owners manual).

Just ask them to enable the alarm. Ask if it will cost you anything.

We are expecting to take delivery on our Prius at the end of this month. When I asked our Dealer about the RS3200 alarm he went with me to the service desk who sent us to the parts department. The parts guy said the alarm is a a kit which includes a module which have to be installed. When I called Toyota customer servic they said the alartm is a dealer installed item and to check with the dealer. How can I verify if there is hardware to install for the Toyota RS3200 alarm w/o glassbreak?

Has anyone had a after market alarm installed that is totally passive and works witht the smartkey feature?
