So then I said, screw this, and unplugged all the connections in the front of the brain. Wont let me start the car!! WTF!?!

This is pissing me off . How do I disengage this thing when its in automatic alarm mode?
I would wait for Bob to post his information or if you can find the information online here. I thought you needed a scanner of some sort to reprogram it to certain settings especially now that it is locked down (dealer only now?).

I imagine Bob would rather tell him via PM. Alarm disarming techniques aren't something you generally like to publish in the public.

FWIW, the alarm should turn off by itself after a few minutes...at least mine does. From there, reprogram it.

Yeah, I donno if you can change the locks or not. I think Id like to. I am going to Toyota and see what they say, I guess.

So I just pulled the fuse that went to the horn, and went and held the button down. Took a little while, but, finally disengaged.

You can erase the memory of all remotes.

Gay festival, who mentioned any gay festival?

If it's anything like a house lock, all they do is move the tumblers so that the old key won't work. For our house it was like $10 a lock.

I work at a Lexus dealership, so I am not 100% this will transfer but for what it's worth...

We can replace all the lock cylinders for our cars. They come with new keys and the locks can be coded so you only need the one key for all of them. It's an expensive route. My 4Runner actually has different door lock keys than what fits the ignition. I carry two keys instead of one, not that big a deal.

I would take the truck into Toyota, let them deal with it. It's expensive, but having the piece of mind knowing that your truck is safe should be worth it.

Sounds like someone replaced your ignition switch before. Should have originally come with one key for the doors and ignition.

Anyhow You don't necessarily have to take it to a stealership. If you have a mechanic that does your work they can easily order the new lock cylinders and change all the door locks and ignition or they can just change the ignition. Wouldn't hurt to price it at a stealership though.
