Anti-theft and car alarm sensitivity?

[Benjilis]

Does anyone know how good / sensitive the Supra’s anti-theft system is?
Will the alarm go off if someone tries to open the door, smash a window, or possibly even get too close to it?

Only thing I can answer is these cars definitely don't have proximity sensor alarms. And please don't install one of those cause that shit is annoying.

Indeed, no proximity sensor. But you can try a simple test and see what you think. Roll a window down, lock the car, and stick an arm through the open window. Be sure to have your key ready to unlock the car.

its pretty sensitive. I started up my S2k that has a louder exhaust next to my parked Supra and the alarm went off.

I kicked the tire on my car once and just that set off the alarm. I asked once here if anyone knew if there was a sensitivity adjustment somewhere but got no response.

There is a interior motion sensor alarm and that too is pretty dang sensitive. I've put my arm in the window and the car chirped near immediately.

There is a way to lock the car but disable the shock sensor. I believe it's two button clicks on the key fob within a few seconds of each other. I've never been able to get the sequence right though. I really need to figure this out though because I park in parking garages once in a while and the shaking floors in those places will definitely set off the car alarm.

If you want to switch off the tilt sensor and the interior motion sensor just press lock button on the remote within 10 seconds after the car is locked.

So does that mean everysingle time i lock my car and do a doubleclick i'm disabling sensors? I'm just so used to all my previous cars honking when i doubleclick the lock button i just tend to do the same here.

Probably. Should be easy to check.

I know HOW it’s supposed to work, it’s never worked for me like I said. When you get the sequence right, the red light under the rear view mirror is supposed to flash at a different rate than the normal lock mode. I’ve yet to get the correct flash. Have you?

I have not paid any attention to the light but have been able to disable the tilt function by doing as described.
