Installing a Glass Breakage Sensor

The complete factory pdf was posted here I believe:
Glass Breakage Sensor Installation
It looks rather straightforward. I'd do it, if I could figure out how to get the dealer to activate the alarm.

 

I assume that this works with the standard VIP security system? I have a Prius (option package 7, Seaside Pearl) on order since December and when I ordered the car the sales critter tried to claim I needed to purchase an additional $1200 security system for the Prius to use the GBS. This site has been invaluable, since the dealer made all sorts of claims, like that the 100K warranty cost $2800, among other things. They claim I should get my car in the next shipment after Friday's (tomorrow) car shipment.

The PDF seems to indicate that no additional security system is required other than the one included with the option package I've ordered.

 

i just want the sticker

 

From everything I've read, the alarm system is already installed, just not activated. The dealer has to activate it with their diagnostic scantool.

 

When I bought my car I just purchased an add-on alarm (didn't know the car alrady had a basic one in it) for about $100, which included a Glass Breakage Sensor, as well as a Shock Sensor, you can pick these up at Target and the like for a little bit of nothing to. The Alarm guy even tied the new system into the existing remote, basically it's set up that it arms and disarms when the driver's door locks and unlocks.

I have this on my 2005 Tacoma. The instructions that came with it said to test it by tapping on your window closest to the sensor/microphone with a key or something metal. I tested mine and it goes off when I tap kinda hard. Make sure you wait the 30 sec. for the alarm to arm and not have your SKS in your pocket. How much did the dealer charge you to install it?

 

Does any know where i can get an GBS?

I called my local dealer and they said they don't have it listed for the 2006 yet? :blink:

Is 08586-47841 the correct part number for my 06 w/package 8 ?


Thanks

That is the part number that I have for the 2006 GBS kit. I'm also looking to buy this.

Where can i buy it? My local dealer says he can't get it because it's not in the system. Do you think they would order it if i were to bring this part number in?

Conicelli Toyota used to have it on their site, you might want to call them to see how much it is. 800-220-3788

When I rolled my Honda Accord... I discovered it had a full
alarm system (unactivated, because my model supposedly
didn't "come" with it) that only needed activation.
So I believe you.

I would be VERY interested to hear if anyone knows how to
activate the alarm system in the Prius... (maybe "liberate"
a diagnostic scantool for a few hours?!)

Thanks for the hint, keydiver

Just wondering if you found out anything yet? The sooner I can get the GBS the better.
