Haven't picked up the car yet.. but how does the anti theft system work in the BRZ?

NVM!! downloaded the owner's manual!

Remember to activate it. It comes inactive from the factory.

is there a fee to activate it? i recall seeing some guy post a receipt for activation and it was probably a few hundred dollars. kinda ridiculous imo, but then again on that same receipt they charged him tinting for $900!

Check page 82 in owners manual.

Burrcold · 01-20-2013, 03:57 PM

lol no fee. You do it yourself.

BRZnut · 01-20-2013, 05:56 PM

yes, if do it yourself and don't ask the dealer about it because they don't seem to know that the alarm comes off from the factory.(but I believe only the Limited has the alarm)

How do you know its activated or armed? After locking my car it beeps? And i didnt order mines so hopefully it was already activated?

Dorb · 01-20-2013, 07:38 PM

Mine does that and a red flashing padlock looking icon flashes on the cluster. I think it means it is active.

Anyone here adding a shock sensor to there alarm or any other devices to go with the alarm?

Alarm maybe comes in disabled because the car could find itself in a showroom or something. For your sake don't assume its activated if you haven't done anything to enable it, at least confirm for yourself. Think the manual covers this.

I think the alarm sucks. I activated it and had my friend sit in the car while i locked it waited a few min and he opened the door and nothing. didn't even beep.

Marcoscrdo · 01-20-2013, 11:22 PM

hmm yeah i have a friend with built in alarm like ours and he got robbed and nothing happened lol all they took was his book bag an ipod or somthin but yeah.. I asked dealership if i should buy a aftermarket alarm like viper or soemthing and they said no. weird tho

that's weird... I locked the car with the window down, waited and opened it using the interior handle and the alarm went off...

Get the Viper 5904 alarm system! I have it! I'm the only scion frs to have it apparently! I freaking love this system! It texts me when someone's near my car. I can turn on my car. If someone is using it see where they are and how fast it's a lot of cool stuff!
