On the other note: I asked the service tech if they could turn on the alarm. He did it for free. He said this would give him time to play with one of the new tundra's. He explained that when you double click the key fob the little red truck light with the key in it would glow steady red for 14 seconds. It would then start to flash. This tells you that the alarm is actviated. To test turn it on with a window open and the key out of the ignition. Then reach in and open the door thru the window, the horn will start and the lights will flash.

Mine was activated when I bought the truck. Funny thing when I brought it in to get the pass mirror done and a front end alignment. They finish the mirror in less than 45 minutes and the service guy rolled the drivers window down and parked in front waiting for the alignment rack to be cleared. The service advisor came out to move the truck up opened the door and whammo bammo noise all over. He jumped back not expecting this and couldn't find the keys to turn it off. The embarrassment on his face was funny to see.
