I just found one of these on my truck and it seems that it may void the warranty - pp71-73 of the Owner's Manual states:
CAUTION
■
Certifications for the engine immobilizer system
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTICE
■
To ensure the system operates correctly
Do not modify or remove the system. If modified or removed, the proper operation of the system cannot be guaranteed.
This is both on the Engine Immobilizer and Alarm System page. CA here - no "cooling off" period. Am I SOL? I've e-mailed the dealership to ask for clarification but damn...

I probably should have read further along but been one of those days. ANYWAYS-- ALWAYS STAND FIRM WITH THESE DEALERSHIPS.
THEY ARE HORRIBLE substitutes for a person. They do NOT care about you even when they have managed to convince you so unless you perhaps have an open checkbook (still fake kindness).
THEY OWE IT TO YOU TO REMOVE IT WITHOUT ISSUE. Talk to the service manager as sometimes they are a little more "with it".
Either way- if they put that mess in or commissioned it- IT'S ON THEM
I'd tell you to write/email Toyota Cares or caresless or whatever it's called now- they don't care.
I am more than happy to pretend to be a lawyer without actually saying I am but scaring the bejesus out of them. I do freelance and columns so I have a knack lol.
