04-05 Prius Glass Breakage Sensor (GBS) Installation Guide

This is great! Repair manual shows the GBS mode is already on by default, but it could be wrong.

Now I have some ammunition that it probably doesn't take 2 hours to change customized settings.

 

Eric - can you respost with the attachment?

 

Yes please repost the attachment. I would like to see whats involved before I buy one.

 

Thanks. Doesn't look like a to bad of a job. Now I just need to order one

 

I ordered a 2006 Prius last month and it should arrive in a couple weeks. The dealer tried to tell me that the anti-theft system wasn't included with the NL package I ordered when it appears it is. They wanted to sell me a $1200 security system for the car for the GBS. Sounds like I should see if I can change my order or just order the GBS and install it myself.

 

Except for the harness wire routing, the installation instructions look identical to the previous version (2004/2005). Therefore, I would have to conclude that the alarm can be activated without the GBS and without having to remove that yellow wire, as it can with the 2004/2005.

Have the dealer technician follow steps 8a-k

 

Does anyone know what the difference is between the anti-theft system and comes starting with package 5 and the 3200 Plus alarm? Thanks.

 

It adds GBS. Basically what the dealer is selling you is the GBS with additional instructions/steps to activate the already existing alarm. Otherwise it is the same, as all you are doing is activating the pre-existing hardware. As stated in earlier posts, if you don't care about GBS, you could follow the same steps that activate the alarm, and have alarm without adding any hardware.

 

Anyone notices that within the "Conflicts" section on the 1st page of 2006 RS3200 installation guide states "Note: Do not install in vehicle with factory keyless entry"?

Any though? :huh:

The .pdf file instructions in this thread are broken.

Can someone point me to where I might find the 2006 instructions that ericprius posted in this quote:

I'd like to order the GBS for my 2006 NW (pkg #8) that has both the smart key system and the "Anti-theft System", but I am very confused about what is needed and not needed, and what is compatible.

On the one hand, the vehicle sticker states that I already paid for an "AntiTheft System" when I bought the car. On the other hand, the posts here imply that this anti theft system is not activiated until I buy something else, not sure what, that activiates it.

And then on the other hand, someone reports that these instructions say to not use the "something else" if you have a Smart Key system.

But on the other hand, there is confusion as to what the "something else" is... is it the "3200 security system" or is the the "glass breakage sensor" or is it both? Toyota accessories lists two type of alarms for the 2006 Prius.

But on the other hand (I'm running out of hands here), some Priuses come with anti theft systems... but are these alarms? Some do not. Those that do, are they dormant until programmed or activated?

I tried to avoid all of this mess by buying the fully optioned package 8, and it's frustrating to find that I maybe didn't get the functionality that I thought I was paying for. The icing on this sour cake is to discover how hard it is to determine which exact parts I have to "add" to make it work.

Please offer some guidance...

No guidance on your questions, but here's the .pdf documents.
Cheers

 

Thank you, GEOGEEK. Those links worked, and I've got 'em.

Wow, even more complicated than I thought, plus requires a dealership scan tool and software to enable.

Now, what I'd like to know is, who with a 2006 NWpkg8 has done this?

I have. I have a package 7 but its all the same thing. You just have leather. The install of the GBS is very easy. That hard part is taking the car to the dealer to have them enable it and hope you you dont pay an arm and a leg for their time.

 

Thanks Jay...

Thanks for piping up. What a coincidence, as I was just on your website earlier today, looking for pictures of your mods. I found plenty of pics from when you first bot the car, but no pics of your GBS install, JDM side marker install, or this and that. Did I miss a link?

Anyway, package 7 is great... that means we have the same electronics, so maybe you can clarify some of my concerns with your experience:

Did your factory alarm require dealership enablement also? Or just the GBS that you added?

Were there any issues with your Smart Key System? Do you have to press any additional buttons to arm or disarm the car, or can you just leave the key fob transmitter in your pocket all the time without touching it, as it was before installing the GBS?

How did you know which security system add on was the right one for your '06 p7 Prius? (ie, there are two different Toyota accessory alarms listed on metrotpn, as well as my local dealer)

Did you participate in the "group buy" of the GBS that I understand happened a while back at PriusChat?

How much did you pay for your GBS?

Does the "warn away" signal work, where if an intruder jostles or taps on the window, a warning sound happens?

Thanks!

 

I need to update my website. I'm just too lazy to do that right now.

I all ready had the factor alarm. It comes standard on a certain package and above. Just the GBS needed enabled.

No buttons to press. Just lock the car and if someone taps or brakes the glass the alarm goes off.

The part number is listed in the above attachments. If you order from the PC shop just select 2006.

I was the first one to buy the GBS from PC shop I think. Don't know about group buy.

I think I paid the $112 that is currently listed in the shop.

You have to tap the glass pretty hard on the default 9 setting but it does go off and I think it goes off for 30 sec unless you stop it.
