What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nothing huge, I just installed these. I'm forever losing stuff down between the seat and the console.

Added the glass break sensor to the factory alarm. Works great. I dont know why this isnt standard with the alarm. Wish the sensor was the size of the small switches in the center dash so it could be centered in the truck, but it still works great tapping on the rear passenger window.

 

Didn't know this available.
Part # on sensor?

 

Part number PT398-35160. The details on Amazon say 2014-2016 tacoma but I'm pretty sure it works on all 3rd gens with the factory RS3200 alarm system.

Here is the amazon link

I have the factory alarm. Is the GBS not available by itself?

Edit: Lots of good info here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/glass-break-sensor-add-on.664387/page-2

 

took off predator-tube steps and replaced them with 2nd gen running boards

If you want one!

 

Yeah that's the part number for the GBS add on kit. It gets confusing when its titled vehicle protection intrusion system and places like sparks call it the VIP security system for that part number. With that wording it makes you think it's the entire alarm system kit but it's just the GBS kit.

 

So with the factory alarm there is no need for Techstream to enable. Just plug and play, correct? I have a kit on the way and I have a glass break tester and will test it after install.

 

Now that I have my TRD Pro Grill installed. What is a fair price for the OEM Grille insert? It’s a 2021 TRD Off-road Grille that was on the truck for about 2000 miles.

 

I didnt need techstream and most posts I've read others havent needed it either. I didnt think mine was working because the LED on the GBS doesnt come on when you already have the alarm system installed, and have the other alarm blinking light on the center dash. I also didnt realize the sensitivity was set to 0 out of the box and wouldnt pick up the taps on the glass. I cranked it all the way up and works with a light tap. Just wish it was even more sensitive and went off when you pull on handles and bump the car. But it is a glass break sensor so not designed to pick that up.

 

Sweet! Thanks. I like to follow fellow automotive photographers.

 

Details? Have 2017 MT

 

Regarding the Glass Breakage Sensor. Here is a link to the install specification provided by sparks toyota

Depends on your philosophy. Price it to move or price it to get maximum dollar? I would search the other listings and see what people listed them for. Have to take into account region and if you are willing to package up and ship or local pickup/delivery only. Lots of factors at play.

Personally I typically price stuff to move quickly.

 

The last 2 I've seen for sale on here recently were listed in the $150-$200 range plus shipping. When I checked Ebay, they were listed closer to $300-$350.

 

Look here my good man;

I just picked one up locally (practically brand new) for $100.

 

What is the difference?

 

First oil change (for me) and rotated the tires. Happy 5k mile anniversary to the both of us.
