Default tc factory security system help

when i bought my car in 07 i added the scion security system, well my car was recently broken into and the alarm did not go off,I tried some tests of my own clicking the lock door button then openening the door and nothing happens and the car still starts,is there a certain way to arm it or check it? Im going to call scion tomorow and see whats up,i actually feel there is no alarm system installed,the panic button does work.

When you use the key to unlock the door the alarm should deactivate. try opening it from the inside with the alarm on. Do you have the security led and mic in your switch panel?

The one just left of the steering wheel and under the hvac vent. The one that contains the mirror controls and like 4 blank spots for accessories. One of those should be used for the alarm.

Yeah. It should flash when the alarm is active. it has "scion security" written o it and it looks like:

Sounds like you don't have it.
