Get your $ back and get a aftermarket alarm.

The real reason I'm getting the VIP system is because the dealer told me that in order to get keyless entry I have to get the VIP alarm system. Which I now know is untrue.

Also I want the OEM alarm and keyless entry so that I can match the FCC ID with a blank remote key so that I don't have to have an extra fob. 1 key is all I need to remotely unlock my door and start my car.

Thank you all very much for the help.

Well I guess you have a lot more money laying around than most of us do. I paid $35 for my keyless entry and it works great. I don't have the cash flow to spend $1000+ just the have a remote that has a key built inside....

I was quoted $300 for the VIP system and install when I bought my car I don't feel like that is a lot of money. Also you can get a blank key on-line for $25 - $50 that will match the RF frequency.

Now that the dealer can't give me what they promised me they are going to sell me the VIP system for $175, refund me $125, and I'll install it my self.

A OEM alarm system with keyless entry for $300, $225, or $200 sounds like a screaming deal seeing as after the fact of people are getting quoted 9 hours of install time and $450 for the alarm. Now that's crazy!

Keep in mind that I really wanted the VIP system for the keyless entry not the alarm.

Now for an update... I FINALLY HAVE MY ALARM SYSTEM!!!

After over 3 weeks of going back and forth with the sales rep I decided to call Toyota corporate to see if they could some how fix the situation. They ended up referring me back to Bob Bridge Toyota which never called me back. This apparently pissed off the sales rep. He and I had an agreement to get me the alarm system for $175 instead of $300 because of his mistake and I was going to install it my self. After weeks of E-Mails asking him which part he was going to order and when it would be available for pick up with no appropriate response he finally told me to I don't get the $175 deal and to go order it on-line. This pretty much pissed me right off and I laid into him over E-Mail and got the sales manager involved. After that I had my alarm system and check in less then 24 hours.

So I guess lesson learned. If the dealer tells you they need to order / install a part into your car to get a feature you paid for DON'T DRIVE IT OFF THE LOT UNTIL IT'S INSTALLED COMPLETELY AND YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU PAID FOR. Even if they say "we'll order that for you and install it next week."

I realized that they probably do this to every customer that wants keyless entry or an alarm system that wasn't factory installed on the car you want. This way they get you to pay $300 or more for an alarm system, call you next week and say it wont work, then try to get you to opt for the alternate alarm system which probably cost them about $50 and come to find out they would send your Yaris over to Car Toys for a monkey to install. Which would make them an extra $200 or more in profit from your sale!



What bastards!

So now I'm looking forward to installing my alarm system in the next week or two and I'll make sure to take lots of pictures and post up a walk through for everyone.

Peace Out!
