Does anyone have any ideas how to get the horn to honk when locking or unlocking the doors with the stock keyless entry? It is nice to have an audible chirp so you know that the doors have locked without having to look at the car.

 

The only way to make it chirp would be to push the red button. Unless you have the full blown scion security upgrade it'll be silent for convenience. When you get the full system, it comes with an instruction manual that tells you how to program your alarm to chirp at your will. I hope this helps.

 

I didn't get that instruction manual....

How do you make it chirp!?!?!?!

 

u only get that with the upgraded security if I understood him right.

 

from reading his sig, he seems to have Scion security. Can someone maybe post up a tutorial?

 

so what TCMaster is saying is if u buy the optional security system for $469 then theres a way to make it churp when arming and disarming the car along with the lights flashing??????

 

bump :D

 

I have tc repair manual and have been studying the wiring diagram for the keyless entry. I am trying to figure out a way to do it with the stock keyless entry. I dont think it should be that hard. I havent tested yet but I believe our horns are negatively triggered can anyone confirm this?

 

I have looked at the diagram also. I would seem you just need to wire the Horn relay to the lights that flash. It appears to me that it is positively triggered. Any idea what is the trigger to turn the transistor on to ground the horn?

 

someone please figure it out and post it on! :D

 

I know the tacoma group has figured it out. I checked it out but wasnt sure what I was looking for, any one can help me out trying to figuring this thing out.

Im still looking for the tacoma wiring diagram

 

I went down to look at it right now and I have all the wiring for a alarm I still have the pin connectors and everything. It looks a lil more confusing than the tacoma setup to be honest I am not really sure which one to pull.

I have some going to the ignition, then some to the harness, some to the fuse block, it is odvious by the poor splicing job that alot of this is not factory kinda wierd its like the car had scion security but then it was ripped out even though its not on my window sticker.

score...that's the truth

 

the red button is called a "panic button"

 

The factory scion alarm upgrade option does not chirp when you arm/disarm the alarm. It is just a glass sensor add-on. In my opinion, it was really a ripoff and $469 can honestly get you a really nice alarm setup. At about $400, I could've done a full alarm system with roll up/down windows, sunroof, pager....dang, oh well.

 

The Scion Security upgrade is fully programmable by performing a series of actions inside of your car. I.E. opening and closing the driver's side door multiple times and inserting the key in the ignition a certain way. I'm sure getting the alarm to chirp when activated is just going to be a matter of finding out who knows the right combination to program it. Can anyone help?!

 

If you read the manual, it gives a procedure on setting the alarm to passive or active and the timing of the passive arming. All this does is enable the alarm/immobilizer after 0/15/30 seconds. It doesn't even lock the doors. I've tried that funky procedure and it was easy to figure out, funny as hell to actually open/close the door 3 times, then lock/unlock, then all that stuff, Yikes!

 

what would be even cooler is if the tC had the little beep that other toyotas have when you engage the alarm. I always loved that, and I was hoping that Scion would use the same alarm.

 

****I have solved the way to make it churp.. w/ 0R w/o factory scion alarm. ****
I will have a post up in the next week telling all hows its done. And yes with Pic's.
First to start ... Buy a buzzer(piezo) at your local RadioShack or electronic store.
