take a pic of it and post it.. like to see what it is.. from what I remember there isn't anything by the driver's side headlight, just the battery.. nothing zip tied, not exactly a toyota factory way of doing things.. so take a picture of it and let us see it..

I have to get a hold of a digital camera. I will try and do that a little later. I am trying to get a hold of the dealer to ask them and see if they know what i am talking about. Watch them not know HA!

scoobyroo2002 03-03-2005 04:29 PM

Karlock??? What's that?

scoobyroo2002 03-03-2005 05:07 PM

Some alarm system thingy they put on WHO KNOWS! i paid $400 for it apparantly i just looked at my paperwork. It's some kind of extra anti-theft thing i dont know, it's a california thing i guess HA!

zach 03-03-2005 05:32 PM

you paid $400 for an option you knew nothing about? sounds like they got over on you.

too funny.

but yes there is a black box placed in almost ever new vehicle since 94 i believe, nehow this is located (mostly) under the driver seat where the air bag control box is, it records every little thing in 5 second intervels, such as rpms, speed, seatbelts, rotation of tires, brake pressure, and some can record balance. this is used after a car is in an accident, there is an agency that goes to the car immediatly and gets the information onto their laptop and it is analysed and given to the court as proof of...w.e, mostly racing situations where the dumbass that goes 140 in a side street and kills a couple at a light(true story), so basicly, this thing will tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and tell every person in the court room, that u were gettin an adrenial rush and had the pedal to the metal...

but in anycase, please check ur headlight fluid, that can be costly at a dealer... :rofl: :rofl:

Hah. You paid $400 for a starter immobilizer, which the tC comes standard with. Here's a link. I guess you might have the whole "Kar-loc" alarm system, but if you just got the immobilizer, you got ripped off.

scionspecialistvegas 03-03-2005 05:45 PM

shhh, they sold him the story about the car lock thing, thats good for now, if really finds out what it is, he might stop sayin ha, HA, HA

scoobyroo2002 03-03-2005 05:52 PM

Anyways, HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! no i paid for it, i just didnt know that's where they mounted it, That's all. I know what it's for, the starer immobilizer yes is standard on all tc's i didnt pay for that. It's an additional alarm system thing. I know i paid for it i just didnt know that they installed it right there. So whatever.

Superballs_tC 03-03-2005 05:54 PM

way off topic but ^^^^^^Bear down Arizona -- Go Wildcats!^^^^^

English 03-03-2005 06:07 PM

^so you have to touch a switch every time you start the car?

scoobyroo2002 03-03-2005 06:35 PM

I have to do something with the car before i can start the car yes. It's a little neato trick! you have to turn a certain thing on before the car will start. It's pretty cool. My friends corolla has it too.
