Hi All,
Like others, just realising we don't have an alarm, who is planning to get a 3rd part alarm fitted?
Cheers.

Probably not, and mainly for this reason.I’m more concerned about the affect to the warranty as fitting an alarm usually requires chopping into the looms.
I’ll be sticking with the immobiliser already fitted.
Unfortunately, we do not have a Toyota genuine accessory/alarm which can be fitted to the GR86, and our approved centres would not be able to fit a non-genuine part. We are unable to advise or recommend a third-party company which can install this item for you. Please note any third-party accessory which is fitted to the vehicle will not be covered by Toyota’s warranty.Oh no, did they say it would void the complete 10 year warranty or did they just mean only the alarm won't be covered by warranty?
If it voids the toyota warranty, it would be a definite no from me I think....
To summarise Toyota's response:Basically they they are willing to credit £500 if you can provide evidence of the work i.e the invoice . However they also stated that this is likely to void the warranty if you get a 3rd party to fit it.
This doesn't read as the warranty is voided upon fitment, only that it [the alarm] isn't covered should you fit one. I suppose it would depend on how invasive the works are to fit the alarm, i.e. splicing looms [to any further effects].Unfortunately, we do not have a Toyota genuine accessory/alarm which can be fitted to the GR86, and our approved centres would not be able to fit a non-genuine part.

exactly. If they have to take the car apart to fit it then although the email reads as 'the alarm' not being covered , i'm not sure i'd trust them with warranty claim if something did happen to a different part of the car.This doesn't read as the warranty is voided upon fitment, only that it isn't covered should you fit one.

FWIW I've no interest in fitting one.
Just for information, what's the approx cost of (1) MetaTrak and (2) professional fitting?No. It’s likely a bit too invasive given the extremely limited CanBus on the GR86. I’ll stick with the OEM immobiliser, reinforced by my Ghost II, MetaTrak and a Stoplock Pro. If they still nick it after all that, well, that’s life I guess![]()
I paid £380 for a Meta Trak S7 ATS (Insurance Approved) to be professionally installed, which also includes the first year's subscription.Just for information, what's the approx cost of (1) MetaTrak and (2) professional fitting?
Cheers. Sounds a reasonable compromise.I paid £380 for a Meta Trak S7 ATS (Insurance Approved) to be professionally installed, which also includes the first year's subscription.
Yup..An alarm already exists for this car in other markets. There is a solution.
Toyota either know it's a pain (costly) to retrofit (maybe loom change), or they have no idea what it would take and can't be bothered to find out.
That's great detective work, never thought about it that way. The USA specs also still state an alarm so it is physically possible - and it's within the toyota family of cars so if they can fit it to a prius why not our car.An alarm already exists for this car in other markets. There is a solution.
