    Looking at 2016 Prius 4 w/ATP+PCP. Also want factory security/alarm system.

    Dealer says you cant put security alarm system on a 4, can't find part/option number. Said it was only available on the 5 so if alarm is a must have the may have to put me in a 5. Told them there's no such thing as a 5 for 2016.

    Anyway, toyota.com build and price says it is available as an accessory.

    Anyone know if it is really available or not?

    I bought the alarm with Toyota during the time of the new car bargain it down to $300, was charged for $300 after installation. Original price are over marked for $500.

    Jesus, I just paid $600 for mine on Friday. It hasn't been installed yet, can you tell me a little about it? Any bells and whistles? Remote start?

    I got a Karr alarm installed by the dealer alarm subcontractor. The dealer thought it was better. Maybe I should have gone with the factory alarm, but it supposedly works the same way. It beeps the horn lightly when armed and disarmed.
