    Toytec ultimate lift kit, light racing UCAs, ARB bumper and full skid plates underneath. Looking into redoing the suspension and maybe repainting the ol' Taco.
    That is the vtec button, push it to have it kick in.

    The alarm is factory.

    My Tacoma didn't come with the Flux Capacitor option.

    It's not a factory installed item but I believe it probably is a dealer installed alarm and that is probably the program button. Wierd spot to put it as the majority of the vehicles I have owned the button or switch was installed underneath the dash. The plus would be easier access to program new remotes, etc.

    No such thing as a factory alarm. Toyota doesnt do that.

    Lots of dealers install their own alarms when the trucks come in from the factory, and call em factory. They aint.

    Also, theyre cheapos too. But it beats not having one at all.
