Alarm system / Antitheft device/ User Manual

Hi There,
Am new to this site and find it very resourceful so far. I have just gotten myself a 2000 TZ 1KZ -TE model prado and I like it so far...
The ignotion key has 2 central locking buttons (lock & unlock) inbuilt into it. Am wondering whether there is also an in built alarm system (factory fitted) that I have not discovered. A friend told me it might have one but is inactivated.

The car has a user manual in Japanese which I cannot comprehend. Does anyone know where I can get an english version of the manual?

James

Mate sounds like the car is a Jap import based on the model and thats why it is in Japanese, Try a wrecker to get a new manual as they are no longer available genuine. I picked one up from Gold Coast 4WD Wreckers for $10, they have wrecked heaps of Prados so I am sure they would have one. I think the imports had roof rails like the 120's and also a dash pod above the air vents. They probably also have a lot more luxuries than an Australian one has!

As far as the alarm goes try google or www.toydiy.com and punch in the VIN number and see what you can find there.

The Aussie Prado only has an imobiliser, perhaps your car is the same so that the unlock/lock buttons are just central locking.

Cheers
