Good information Steve. Usually when I get out of my car, I immediately lock the car and I turn off the fob so it no longer transmits. That will work against the repeater boxes sold on Amazon.
Good video!
Next time you go in a GH, look up at the overhead console, the security light is there ;-)
All Toyotas that have Immobilizer System have a security light.
Thank you. Liked. Subscribed
Always good information!
Thanks again Steve👍
Good info. Thanks
I just had my 2022 Tundra stolen 2 weeks ago, thief broke the window, opened door, set off alarm but then jammed the computer so that the alarm shut off after about 10 seconds. Neighbour witnessed the theft but thief was gone within 5 minutes long before Police arrived.
Toyota service advisor said there is almost nothing you can do to stop thieves!
The way you can tell if you have the alarm system is if the security indicator lights up solid for 30 seconds after you lock and close all doors/hatches. After 30 seconds is up, the light starts flashing. The alarm is then set.
If you lock and close all doors/hatches and the indicator just flashes without lighting up solid for 30 seconds, you don't have the alarm system; you just have the engine immobilizer.
I haven’t seen one in years that didn’t have an alarm. Very easy to test… open a window, lock a door and wait 30 seconds. Then reach in and unlock the door and open it from the inside. They all have it now
@@TrainerSteveClifford That's great to hear! Massive improvement from the previous generation of Toyota vehicles. 2014-2019 Corollas showed an optional alarm system in the owner's manual but almost none of them had it, at least in the United States. All of them had the engine immobilizer though.
If someone breaks in and opens the door and if I am not around- can they turn on the engine by some means? Can that happen?
Does the 2024Rave4primexse have an alarm built in?
Yes. All Toyotas have the system shown in this video
All they need is Radio frequency copy tool be close to you when locking and bam they copied the radio frequency of the fob
That is not how that works.
Each time it transmits different security code that car resolves to that key.
