Recently purchased a used 2000 4runner ltd and although i love it i absolutely hate the rs3200 security system the previous owner had installed extra when he originally bought the car. I was wondering if there was any way uninstalling this system without messing up the car. thanks...

 

are you sure this is your truck and not some ones elses ..

 

lol yah. i really dont like how the horn honks when you lock/unlock and although it has some neat features i find that in the area i live are somewhat unnecessary. will a toyota shop do it and not charge an outrageous amount or is there a way where i can do it myself?

 

Unplug your horns and you're good to go. I can't remember the last time I honked my horn at someone...

 

yah but i still want to have the ability to honk my horn

 

I'm not sure how to un-install it but if you do get it uninstalled let me know, I may want to buy it!

 

my 98 4R ltd had the factory alarm in it when i purchased it used. it didn't work so i just unhooked it by taking the control unit out. its a black box located under the driver seat. i don't remember if their were harnesses and that though. i had an aftermarket alarm installed and everything works fine.

 

you can program the alarm to be silent when operating the lock/unlock.... it's how mine is setup.

here's an owner's manual with a simple google search:

Mine doesn't do the horn, it has the electronic "beep beep" which works sporadically. Its either a normal beep, a sick beep or nothing. Also I wish the remote worked more than 5 feet away. It has a new batt, I think it's just old...

 

Is it the rs3000 or rs3200? I know my 4runner has the rs3000, but its a 97. If you can verify which one I will try to help.

Tunnelmotor99, you just need a new piezo chirper. Any universal one should work.

 

rjaudi- i believe its a rs3200 ill check ltr and get back to you

 

Rs3200

 

Is the horn actually making the noise when you lock the car or is the car making a chirp noise? Are you looking to disable that noise or do you want to totally remove the system?

 

Yes the horn honks when i lock/unlock (along with chirp). At the very least i want the horn disabled for lock/unlock but if possible i wuld disable the entire system.

 

You actully have the RS3200 plus. This was a add on for the factory keyless entry that came standard on the limiteds. I found this install guide for a 2003 tacoma installing rs3200 plus. If these connectors are there it should be a simple unplugging will do the trick.

Here is a guide for a RS3200 install on a tacoma:

See if these work it shouldn't take long to get the plastic trim pieces off.

 

thanks i will try it and let you know

Scanning that sucked, if I'm ever in Jersey you owe me a beer.

 

That helps out alot. I was worried that the Tacoma rs3200 plus didnt have a glass breakage sensor shown. Now you can remove it and sell it to someone if you want.

 

haha thanks both to both of you guys. im trying it ethier today or tomorrow.

 

didnt get a chance to try it over the weekend (family emergency). just wanted to check that if i did unistall it, it wouldnt mess up the car like not being able to start it, lock/unlock, etc?
