Question
 

Does the 86 have an alarm?
Are your mirrors that fold in electronically also slightly uneven/one faster than the other?

No
Yes

That sucks
That too...

That's what I like-concise answers.:thumbup:

So what is the best alarm to install in the 86?
Why is there no alarm fitted in the first place, does anyone know?

No alarm ? ... i was under the impression it did have one. :mad0259:
On the high spec it gives a warning tone when your hand is near the door latch and you dont have the keys...thought that was part of the alarm :thumbdown:

Yep, no alarm - silly. Leave the window open, lock the car then unlock and open the door from the inside. Alarm should go of but it doesn't because there isn't one.

Also, it doesn't double lock so if you break the window you're in.

Damm that sucks.
So what is the best alarm for this car?
A while back in the Speed and sound magazine, a guy was advertising alarms that work with your windows, central locking system etc. So your windows could be open. As soon as you arm the vehicle, the windows wind up automaticaly. Also if someone breaks into the car, it takes out a picture of the person and sends it to your alarm key with the picture of the burglar etc. Even if someone mistakenly bumps your car it sends a signal.
But I can't remember what alarm this was. It would be a good idea to install this.

I can also remember something like that, it's been around for a while. Can't remember what it was called though.

Wonder if insurance companies are aware of this...no oem alarm on a +- R300k vehicle :thumbdown:

I read something in the manual regarding how to enable the alarm but I was unsuccessful... Traditional Toyota alarm works with the hooter so maybe a tweak required at the dealers? For the beep for lock and beep-beep for unlock? :iono:

My wife's +/- 600k Pajero doesnt have an alarm either :mad0260:

Nope, already checked - there are no dealer selectable settings for the alarm.

Thing is, if they want to steal your car they will and it's not like any of the parts would fit a Quantum or Hi-Ace anyway. I've got tracking for when some moron decides to take a chance.

Annoying... :thumbdown: I can never remember if I locked the damn thing! :lol:
Hmmm, what about a gearlock? :bonk: On my Corolla I had the big visible gearlock and not the discrete pin type. But I reckon these cars are more hijack risks - they'd be over the border before the day is out. Amen to trackers!
