I've been reading different things about Scion Security and different people say different things, so I decided to find out about the Chirps.

If you have Scion Security on your TC, you have an option to turn the chirps on/off....all you have to do is open up the owner's manual. This is something nobody likes to do, but there is a separate smaller book for Scion Security which will tell you how to turn the Chirps on or off.

For the lazy ones...here is the step by step to turn Chirps on/off

1. Start with the L.E.D light switch in the OFF position, then turn the Ignition key to OFF

2. Within 10 seconds, cycle the L.E.D light switch to ON then OFF 3 times, which means a total of pressing and releasing the button 6 times.

3. If the chirps WERE OFF before you started, then you will hear 1 Chirp indicating that you have turned the Chirps ON.

4. If the chirps were on before you started, the you will hear 2 Chirps indication that they have been turned OFF.

After you are finished, make sure that your red L.E.D button is pushed IN which means that the Security feature is activated.

I have a Scion Security system and I am not aware of the "L.E.D." light switch to which you refer. Where is the switch located?

izzyzlat

LED is located on left side of the steering wheel, it should say Security around it...it's a red ****..that lights up when Security feature is Armed.

Yep, but it is not a switch, just a light and the glass break sensor. Not sure what you mean by switch. I also have read every manual that came with the car, including the alarm documentation, which does not mention anything about making it chirp. Not that I was looking to make it do so, I think alarms that make noise when armed are annoying as hell, but to each his own. But, on my 05 there is no LED "switch"

Izzy, it sounds like you have an aftermarket alarm system in your car, installed by the dealer. That's my guess.

Streeter

Sounds like you got jacked on your Scion Security! Unless they revised it for 06...?

i dont have a button too

izzyzlat

nope..it's in 06 TC..got the factory book and everything..it's factory...I didn't know it was a button i thought it was just an LED but then i pushed it so then I decided to look in the manual to see what it was.

not to be rude but thats not he scion security, thanks for the help though.

tikbhoy

hmm, looks oem to me if its in the book. i better look on my manual again.

djct_watt

Is it in the same manual as the tC manual, or a seperate book?

If this is a new feature, then that's AWESOME! It's about time they make it switchable.

atodak

can't find it in mine either...must be an 06 thing

haha that's definately NOT something made by Toyota!!!!
It's like PUSHH MEEE

That doesnt even resemble the scion security in my car. They either changed it for 06 or your dealer installs an aftermarket system, which some do. The scion security (in an 05 at least) has a small led, with openings for a microphone for the glass break sensor right above it in the same location on the dash. Did yours come with a 1 year theft warranty? If not, it is not a scion security system. Show the front of the manual you just showed us.

engifineer

Does ANYONE else have one that looks like that?

SSM_tC

I expect to see a button like that floating in the air as I walk down a dark alley with a big sign that says "Do Not Push"

izzyzlat

does anyone else have Scion Security on a 06. So far every person that has posted, has a 05. Thats the book that came along with the bazooka sub manual, the radio manual and all the other manuals that were in the glove box.

If you don't have a LED button that you can push, i could care less. I'm happy with the Alarm, I only tried to help people out who kept complaining about thei Scion Security not Chriping when Armed and Unarmed

izzyzlat

no reason to jump down my throat..everyone likes to jump to conclusions so fast. Let's hear from some 2006 owners...This is obviously an improvement that was made to the 06, just like the radio.

Izzy, chill out
