Alarm Remote Built into Ignition Key!!!
Smoking Hot! I wish I hadn't put in an aftermarket alarm!
Here it is on eBay for $20 to $50

it seems the tC key and the xB key are the same but I heard from one of our Scion techs that in order to get said key to work you would need to finagle some wiring which could turn out to be a serious hassle..
looks like both keys are on a tr47 (gerneric #)
I got a feeling this wont work,,Im not sure why...perhaps you need some servos from the tC alarm? or some sort of relay from the tC??

Has anyone else considered that it might not be such a good idea to have the alarm remote attached to the ignition key?
Lose your key and the finder not only knows what kind of car it goes to, but also has a way of making the car identify itself in the lot and, finally, of defeating the alarm and starting the car!
Better to keep the key and remote separate!

Well, I do see your point- But with Scion being so "rare" in most parts of the country- if someone finds your key in the parking lot (regaurdless of the fob being attached)- Their going to find your scion!
