Glass Break Sensor-Add to Tundra and Activate Factory Alarm System at Sparks Toyota-Scion, Myrtle Beach, SC look in the upper right hand corner , download that , print off the pages starting with page 10 . Take those to the Dealer .

I think the pages you'll need are pages 10-17. get them all, but all they need is 10-17. Sorry, I was gone all weekend. got to get to bed.

later gator!

goneballistic.info/alarm.pdf is still a good link, in fact I had forgotten about it.

I took the truck into the dealer today to have the passenger seat belt buzzer removed and while I was there the tech guy asked me If I wanted anything else done, so I said yeah activate my alarm would ya. He looked at me like I had 10 heads! So I explained to him that it could be done, went through the same thing with the next guy that came out, priceless! After I set the alarm off they were like WTF??? We didn't know that was there, I guess they learn something new everyday,lol.

Anyway I now have no seat belt buzzer for the front seats and I have my alarm activated, oh yeah my leveling kit showed up today too, gonna try and get that installed tomorrow, maybe tires??

Good to hear Mr. Freak,
Seems to have went smoother than you thought? It seems to matter on who you hook up with, and what approach? Either way, glad to hear all went well. I have had so much help here with all these guys. I find myself living on this forum now.
Take Care,
later gator

I went in for my first oil change and mentioned that I would like my alarm turned on. I got the cocked head look, but was told that they would try and look at the techstream. Well, after the oil was changed I saw the taillights flashing and the horn honking. The tech was smiling and I drove home. No charge and they all learned something. Very nice. Thank you all for the help.

Seems the trick is to get them early. Preferably before you send in the survey!

I don't know all the qualifications for having the alarm, but you probably do have it. SR5 for 2008 have it without a doubt, and I don't think the 2007 are any different. Search around the site, or ask someone else here. These guys seem to know more than the dealers. you should enquire with another dealer?

The truck has to have an immobilizer system and keyless entry, most tundra grade and regular cab trucks won't have it available

OK, I printed out the pages now what do I need to highlight on this to make this even easier for them to understand?

I have no GBS and a 4.7L, and they activated mine. Sounds like your dealer is trying to initiate the GBS input, in addition to the alarm.

I went in for my first service this morning. I told him I would rotate the tires, wanted him to change the oil, and oh yeah while you are at it, activate my factory alarm. He tried to tell me there was no such thing. I told him there was and please have the tech do it. I told him, if they need the instructions on how to do it, they are laying in the front seat. I think he was still skeptical, but he came back and said it was all taken care of. I should have tested it right there in the bay, but I spared them.

I told him, see you guys learned something today. I dont think he really cared and probably still doesnt realize that they all have the alarm. Oh well.

Oh yeah, no charge for the alarm activation. Next time, I'm gonna push to have the seat belt chime taken off and get the doors to all unlock with one press of the keyfob button.

your question is very short. Assuming that your refferring to the alarm activation. Pages 10 through 17 are the ones that instruct. You don't have to highlight anything. they need everything on all pages 10-17. Your biggest importance would probably be someone open to what your saying.
let us know how it goes!

Thanks. I will make sure that the person that I speak with has open ears for the idea.
