Does anyone know if you can do the free alarm mod to a 2000 4Runner? All I have heard about are 03 and 04 Tacomas and some Tundras.

Any help would be appreciated.

what free alarm mod? I got an rs3200 and a 2000 runner... lol??

 

My girlfriend just got a 2000 SR5 Sport edition and it has factory keyless entry. I have heard that some newer models are already wired to have the alarm if you disconnect a wire under the dash. But, I cannot find the wire on the runner so I was wondering if they did not do this at the factory till later.

Thanks, Jason

 

I dont think this is correct..............you'd need the brain for sensors(starter kill, glass sensor, etc.) I had to buy a new separate alarm by toyota(RS3200). $90 off ebay was worth the money for simple plug-n-play alarm

 

Speaking of which.... what the heck is the bottom button for on the 3rd gen (Well, mine is a 97, i assume they are the same) keyless entry for?? Can I program it?

 

um this may help?

I have no idea what the bottom button does either!

 

on the rs 3000 remotes, you can program the bottom button to work with another vehicle that has an RS 3000.

Well on the rs3200 the bottom button is for the rear hatch window to go down.

 

Some toyotas come prewired for you/dealer/us to install an alarm system. This means that all the wires have already been tapped into and all the pertianant wires are held together. One ofthese wires has a clip that if you pull off interrupts the wire, doing this interrupts the start from the ignition, and is meant for alarms with starter kill. That is where you are hearing about pulling a wire for an alarm. (You still have to buy an alarm and all the associated goodies, and then have it installed)

 

what he said

 

I didn't have to buy anything for my taco-just pulled the connector apart and bingo. The only thing missing is the blinking led.
The tutorial was on this site, but I can't find it now. Anyone know where it went? I'm sure Toyota wasn't too happy about not charging me $300+

 

i don't think the write up is on here, i think its on TTORA.

 

customtacos is where i learned about the mod...i can't remember correctly, but i think it is only for 03 and 04...

 

yep, my bad. here is the write up on custom tacos: http://www.customtacos.com/tech/index.php?article=12

i think i just found it through some link on ttora, probably in the cheap tricks section...

 

Hey guys I realize this thread is like 2 years old but it works. (for me at least) Give that link a shot. Why haven't I heard of this before

 

makes me want to go buy a taco so i can get a free alarm.

 

anyone know if this works on 07 4runners?

 

I know think of all that money you would save by not having to buy a alarm!

It's not like a siren alarm. It just basically activates the panic button, but I'm not one to complain.
