randy Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 I have central locking on my key which works fine but the alarm is not working? I don't know if they came with TDS alarm? If they did I would like to know where the unit is located? I also have this red alarm flasher on the drivers side dashboard next to the windscreen which is not working? Can someone clue me in?

Matt Harwood Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 As far as I know, there is no alarm on a J-spec car as standard. The little dome on your dash top is something to do with light sensing for the air con apparently. So, I believe, all you have is remote locking only.

dil Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 If you've got 2 buttons on your car key one for lock and unlock press the lock button twice the horn should chirp once, you're alarm should be armed now cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 When I bought my Supra, the garage owner told me it had no alarm fitted because there is no car crime in Japan to speak of, somrthing to do with Samurai honour or summat Obviously bo***cks that I swallowed hook, line and sinker, that I have now realised since the Quentin Wilson TV prog, with the Dubai connection for stolen Jap cars. Still, he got me to pay £500 for an alarm/immobiliser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wall Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 IMHO some so called journalists talk out of their (insert word of choice)! Some just don't like Jap cars that have not been sold in UK. This is purely a personal opinion and not aimed at any one individual. (Edited by Phil Wall at 8:54 pm on Mar. 3, 2002) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Wall Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 What that particular TV presenter failed to mention, was that approximately 400,000 UK cars are stolen and sold on in one year, I believe. Kinda puts it in perspective. If you have a second hand UK car it is more likely that that was stolen not your Supra. But he did such a good job at getting used prices of Jap imports down. I wonder what the next scaremonger target will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted March 4, 2002 Author Share Posted March 4, 2002 Matt, Your probably right about that! Cause there is no chirp of the alarm etc..etc.. If there was an alarm on the jap spec, Where would I find it? Just want to be certain!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
