Hello,
So I've spent about 6 hours doing my research and need some input. I've got a 2000 Limited w/ the FACTORY installed Alarm (used in connection with key immobilizer and keyless entry), not the RS3200/RS3200+ that is the Port or Dealer installed accessory. This alarm was apparently an addition to the stock specs for the 2000 Limiteds (maybe 99, 01-02 as well). Well, it seems that this particular alarm, has some limitations.
The issue with this system is that it does not light the interior dome lights when you unlock/disarm the car (though I believe later 2000s+ 4Runners did do this) and it doesn't lock the doors when you start the car and unlock it when you turn it off. These are 2 very important features that I'd really like to have.
So, would it be possible to install something like the RS3200/RS3200+ on 4Runner that already has the FACTORY installed alarm?
Is there a new version of this FACTORY installed alarm ECU that has these features, which I could just swap?
Is there any modification/addition that I can do w/ the existing alarm that would allow for these features (I know this particular FACTORY alarm does not have a way to program this at all, so I'm thinking it would be an aftermarket module), though for the alarm itself, I really want to stick with OEM.
Thanks in advance for all your input!
