bro TVSS is Toyota's anti-theft system. It may or may not have an immobilizer equipped.

OEM purist would not do this sir, sayang po yung orig alarm ng Toyota na tested na tumatagal.
Kami sir para laging pwedeng magamit yung kotse, iniiwan po namin yung susi sa tagong area ng cabinet para di na po namin kailangang mag intayan.

sir, IIRC may disclaimer sa manual (*if equipped).

maaring sa ibang markets may immobilizer ang vios. but for my 2013 3rd gen, ang alam ko wala talaga.

afaik pang anti forced entry lang ang stock TVSS ng vios. the remote key is merely a wireless doorlock tool.

Mine is 1.3E AT (2013). Two regular spare keys.

own a 2013 vios 1.3E... also have 2 regular keys, and 1 button type...

base on experience, i have to share the keys to a driver as well... I get to use the keyless entry... but if i forget to NOT to engage it (when i know the driver will use the car next).... driver will just open the door manually... (alarm will engage)... but all he has to do is start the engine (using the regular key)... the alarm will stop, and the car, car locks will just work properly....

so no real issues on my part who carries what key...

just my 2 cents

Is this how immobilizers work?

If I remember correctly the story told to me, the gf of my barkada pressed the remote locked button while inside her Focus, she then tried to start the car and the alam was triggered. Due to panic, instead of pressing the unlock button to stop the alarm she retried to start the car. After that, she could no longer start the car.
