I've seen something somewhere about a wire you actually unplug below the dash to give yourself a factory alarm. The write up was done on an automatic and the plug was right where a clutch should be... so I can't find it.

 

Plug-And-Play Keyless Entry System
It sounds as if you do not have keyless entry on your vehicle at this time. The Free Alarm Mod that was mentioned is only available if you ALREADY have keyless entry as an option on your vehicle.....but all hope is not lost.

I have tracked down a very affordable "plug-and-play" keyless entry system. It sells for $39.99 and included everything you need to have a keyless entry system installed in your truck, assuming you already have automatic locks. They sell parts to install auto locks as well, but the price is significantly higher, and much more labor intensive to add that to your truck. The link below will take you to the site so you can check it out, the page will show the KE-40, but when you choose the "Vehicle Compatibility" option and enter in your Make, Model, and Year it will take you to the KE-30. (Based on entering 2002 as the year for the OP, other years could be different, could be the same.)

Free Alarm Mod
I'm not sure if the Free Alarm Mod will work if your truck is any year other than a 2003, but I was lucky mine is and it worked flawlessly. I was amazed that spending only 5 minutes up under my dash was able to provide my truck with a completely free alarm.
I'm also not sure if this writeup will still apply if you install an after-market keyless entry, since the wires you will need to modify will possibly not be present in the wire harness.

For what it's worth, I have also included the link to the Free Alarm Mod as found on CustomTacos. Below is a picture of the clip that needs to be unplugged to make this mod take effect, but the process is broken down step by step in the writeup.

All in all, your best bet may be to track down the actual part that is installed in a factory keyless equipped vehicle and snag it from an auto salvage, or keep an eye open in the Buy/Sell Forum for someone parting out their 1st Gen truck. That way you are still saving money, but could possibly still be able to mod it into a Free Alarm.

Good luck brother, and happy hunting!!

 

I can't get this site to show me the ke-30. I've got a 2002 and on your advice, am trying to get the ke-30. Anybody else having any luck getting it to show up as the ke-30?

Any idea if the ke-40 will work as well?

Hate to dig this up but very curious as well. Any solutions since 2012?

 

For a 1998, the factory system is the RS3000. You can probably find one in a junkyard, maybe. But the RS3000 would be a plug and play option although you’d probably have to order a key FOB from Amazon.

For info:

If you can find it, the rs3200. Thats the one I pulled off my 02. It suppose to come with a harness that makes it completely plug and play. However, I don't know if it does starter kill.

 

Is the RS3200 backwards compatible with prior 2001 Tacoma’s? I know it works with 2001-2004 but I thought the RS3000 was for 2000 and older trucks.

 

You'll just have to check with the dealer.

 

This should already be installed in my vehicle correct? I have the 98' Limited V6 4X4. Where would I find the wires/ alarm system to locate if already installed? Hopefully it is already installed and I can just purchase a keyless entry system.

^^^looks like this is the remote for the security system. I do remember having a keyless entry remote but the security system definitely does not work. Could be unplugged? Never had one in the first place. Mind you I also have a manuel so maybe they did not install with manuel.

 

Did some digging through Tacoma World and was able to pull this photo from an article. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/little-red-light.484526/

This is exactly what I have. Reading from the article it only talks about it being an aftermarket security system and if you dont have the fob for it then its more pain than its worth.




For those who have the FACTORY security system this is what it should look like instead of the "little red light"

 

that bottom picture is actually a glass break sensor (GBS) which is an “extra” item for the RS3200. Not all RS300X systems came with the GBS, it was an extra cost.

if you have a FACTORY, dealer installed, Toyota Vehicle Intrusion Protection (TVIP) a.k.a. keyless entry, the brain for it will be behind the drivers side kick panel. The RS3200 was a dealer option for first gen Tacos in 2003 and 2004 only, which makes it hard to find. If you ever find one in a junkyard, be sure to buy it even if you already have one.

 

I ended up just buying an aftermarket through best buy and called it good. Compustar 1 way w/ keyless & alarm + viper glass break sensor that will be paired w/ alarm of course. $316 total.

 

That’s a good solution. The Factory ones are just hard to source.

 

Can anyone help me fined a tayota glass breaker sensor led light please like the last picture on this page that saids tayota security
