I own a prado vxr 2015 model GCC specs, i have googled alot and can’t find answer to my quesltion… so my question is, do prado vxr 2015 have security alarm installed? if yes how can i activate it because i have never seen the alarm go off in this car. I am very concerned about this. my remote only have 2 buttons that is lock, unlock and if i triple press and hold unlock it remote starts the car engine, the remote doesn’t have any extra buttons that can be used to activate or disarm the security alarm, I have tried opening the car with keys at home I tried shaking the car but it doesn’t sound the alarm so i am very concerned about this please help me figure this problems. This car is very costly and I’ll be very disappointed if the answer says this car doesn’t have a factory security alarm installed. It does have a securitysmall red led on the dash it blinks when the car’s engine is completely shut off and the car is locked ---

There is an alarm. Lock the vehicle, place the smart key at least 2 meters from the vehicle, wait 30 seconds for the alarm to become active, reach though the window and open a door from the inside. The alarm should sound. ---

Shouldn’t the dealership that sold this very expensive vehicle be able to answer your questions and demonstrate the features of the alarm system? 😕 ---

I pre-ordered this car in 2014 and bought it in end of 2014 I don’t remember the exact date or month.. at that time this question did not cross my head, now it is bothering me becuase there was a recent burglary in my area so i am concerned about this now.[quote=“VDCdriver, post:3, topic:96302, full:true”] Shouldn’t the dealership that sold this very expensive vehicle be able to answer your questions and demonstrate the features of the alarm system? 😕 [/quote] ---
