I own a 95 celica and I have been having a few problems with the stock alarm remotes for my baby.
I have 2 alarm remotes, however one has stopped working (that is it lights up when I press the button, but it does not trigger the alarm) and the other works, but thanks to old age it is extremely difficult to operate. I recently went to my local Toyota dealer to get a replacement and they said it would cost me $125 for the remote and $65 for the calibration. Now as far as I know, calibrating the alarm requires removing the seat to get to the brain unit and hitting a reset switch.... if this is the case then I won't be paying $65 to do this as I can easily do this myself. My questions are: -Is calibrating the alarm really that straight forward? (is there any pics or documentation for this). If I buy the remote from toyota will I have any problems doing this? -If I reset the alarm for my existing non working remote is there a possibility that the remote unit will begin working again (I guess this depends on what is wrong with it)? -If I do reset the alarm for a new (or possibly the existing) remote will my existing flaky remote still work? -It is my understanding that each remote has a different code so if I were to get a remote from another celica and reset the alarm I should be able to use that one with no problems. If this is the case, how many remotes can you have calibrated to the single alarm. I would greatly appreciate any help regarding this situation. Thanks in advance! --------------------  |

Sorry I can't answer your question, but I was hoping you could answer mine.
Yea I'm having trouble with my alarm system too. It's too sensitive. Are you sure the alarm module is under the driver's seat? --------------------  98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |

Are you sure the alarm module is under the driver's seat? [right][snapback]343542[/snapback][/right] I haven't checked so I can't say I am 100% sure. But this is the indication I got from the Toyota dealer (plus through my own research). If it isn't raining when I get home from work I'll rip apart my car and check (I'll take some pics if I find anything too)! -------------------- |
