Nope mine's factory Toyota alarm. Has the little red button on the dash on the left side of the column next to the trac lock button.
Maybe its an SR5 vs Sport/Limited difference like mentioned??
Actually my alarm goes RainMan on me sometimes. I press the Unlock button, and the lights come on, it beeps, the doors unlock, and when I open the door, the alarm goes off. WTF??
And I have pressed the lock button before and had the lights stay off for some odd reason...... Probably need to have it looked at some day.....

My 2006 4Runner Limited was the same way when I bought it last year. The lights didn't turn off when pressing the key fob 2 times. They did when the light switch was in auto, but not when in the manual headlight position. Something changed with one of my services because starting about a month ago it does turn off when pressing the lock button two times on the key fob. Not sure what it was, maybe my dealer reset the computer when they performed the sulfur TSB.

Ok mine also has the alarm switch for the hood. I'm sure it has the factory alarm system.
And the alarm has gone off a few times, the horn honks and its loud as hell, makes you scramble for the key fob LOL.
I'll look around for the extra horn tonite if I get a chance to confirm this though.

The little red lighted button mentioned in my owner's manual.......
This flashes when the alarm is on, the button has to be in the out position, if it's in I think that disables the alarm part of the system when you press the lock button on the key fob, but I'd have to re-read that again to be sure.
And the little car symbol with the key also flashes when the alarm is on.....
Quick reply to several threads in here.
Mine is a 2005 SR5, with the optional 3rd row:
1. Head lights turn off automatically after 30 sec. Also, I can turn them off by pressing the lock button the key fob 2x.
2. Doors lock when I take her out of P, and everything unlocks when I put it back in P.
3. I have the one touch "start" in the ignition - I really wish they would have just put in a damn "start" button, (which is what the feature is capable of)
4. I have the flip out grocery bag - garbage hook just in front of teh 2nd row seats.
5. My 2nd row cup holders that pop out from the center fold-down arm rest DOES NOT have the "burger tray". Closer inspection of the specs. indicate the "burger tray" is only avial. on non-3rd row vehicles, since they use a different 2nd row seat configuration since the 2nd row, with an optional 3rd row setup, is hinged in the front of the seat, to allow access to the 3rd row. I'm not sure why they did this, they just did. All I know is that I love the t4r, and my little munchkins love the 3rd row seat.
Great vehicle, IMO, tranny clunk and all.
