Alarm 5th Gen

Supposedly the SR5s might not have a hood switch, but I am not sure about that...I just read it somewhere.

My Toyota remote start came with a hood switch for installation on SR5 models, so I believe you are correct.

I am guessing Tech Stream is a software you can buy that comes with a plug for the Rig?

This is the the cable I just bought. It comes with the software but you will need a 32bit OS.

You guys whom have "enabled" this feature, any of you actually test to see if there really is a glass sensor? It's pretty simple, you just take a key and tap on the window with it, obviously not hard enough to break it, lol.

Also, can you guys tell me if your alarm will go off when you pop the hood? Supposedly the SR5s might not have a hood switch, but I am not sure about that...I just read it somewhere.

Tap the glass but the alarm didn't go off...maybe I didn't tap it hard enough or the sensitivity is set for the alarm to only go off if the glass is broken.

Armed the the alarm waited till the security light blinked and opened the hood from the inside...no response from the alarm

Has anyone been able to get the alarm enabled for a 2014-2015?

My 2015 TEP has a slightly different customize menu and none of them have the security system setting available.

I'm disappointed mine didn't have it either. 2015 SR5

Techstream 11.10.034...

I have the same problem, no "option setup"...2016 SR5. But I do have "Security" option with broken glass sensor.

Anyone know how to enable the alarm?

I work in electronic security industry. We use something like this to test glass break sensors. https://us.boschsecurity.com/en/pro...ies/accessories_1/accessories_1_products_5783

I'm sure you can find something similar. Put some broken class in a bucket and shake it around while inside with system armed. It might work.

Oh. If you know where sensor is and are close enough shaking a set of metal keys will also trigger alarm.

Just going over every single customizable options on techstream. It's under options setup and security. You probably have it too. I got the same reply when I ask them about alarms. It just shows how much dealers knows about the car they're selling. Any suggestions to test the broken glass sensor without actually breaking my glass.:brick:

Tap a window with a quarter.
That was the instruction for ‘13 Tundra I added the glass break sensor to.
