Alarm Sensitivity

Can anyone help me out by telling me if there's a way to adjust the sensitivity of the factory alarm system on my 2017 Toyota Tacoma? Thanks...

 

Why do you need an alarm, you have a MT, that should keep 99 percent of people from stealing your truck.

 

It's not the truck per say that im so much worried about as it is all the tools and such inside the truck...

 

The stock alarm has no shock sensor or glass break sensor. So I can’t see a need to adjust the sensitivity. And to my knowledge there is no alarm sensitivity adjustment. What part of the alarm are you wanting to set / adjust?
If you have the optional glass break sensor, then yes you can adjust that on the model itself.

 

Thanks for the reply. My father in law has a 2016 Tacoma with a stock alarm system and if u bump into one of his doors or fenders, it will set off the alarm. I have a 2017 Tacoma and it doesn't matter how hard you bump the doors or fenders or anywhere for that matter, the alarm just doesn't go off. Thanks...

 

Hm interesting.

I tried banging on my doors, glass and fenders, nothing. Also tried to pull the door handles really hard, again nothing. Seems like the factory alarm is pretty shitty. If I had tools in my truck, I would definitely invest in a proper alarm with shock sensors and a remote with a screen.

 

There is no shock sensor of the stock alarm. But IMO that’s a good thing, shock sensors are notoriously crap with constant false-positive, which is why you don’t see them much anymore. Open your door and it’ll go off (from the interior light circuit), also there is a glass break sensor (optional Toyota accessory) that works very well. One thing that I wish it has is tilt sensor (fuckers stealing wheels). But not a bad alarm just because it doesn’t go off from any twit with an obnoxiously loud exhaust, hail storms and such, which seems that’s all a shock sensor is good for, well that and kicking doors.
