Truck doesn't appear to have an aftermarket alarm... (no extra key fob or anything). Could have been removed prior to sale though. The red button appears to be the kind of button that can light up, but it does not light up when pressed.

I recently bought an 02 SR5. There's been a couple of nagging questions. First of all is the rear bumper. It has 4 little plugs. I'm 99% sure that they are basically the park/assist proximity sensors except: 1) I didn't know 3rd gen 4runners ever came with that feature. It's a 2wd 2002 with few...
