Has anyone here got this kind of security system installed on their present TVSS?

Magkano ba Bro tung P2500 kasi gusto ipa grade yung Fortuner ko para may shock sensor kasi parang after arming the TVSS mga ilang seconds lang wala blinking di tuloytuloy security indicator sa loob ng Kotse

Uhm.. sensha malamang natanong na 'to before pero ang haba na ng thread mejo tinamad nako hanapin hehe..

Anyway, I just got a new Altis a few days ago and it has the TVSS thing as well.. So, does it mean parang keyless entry lang ang silbi nya? so di sha talaga alarm system? It won't alarm pag forced entry or something like that?! Kasi nag assume nako na alarm system talaga sha. I have yet to read the manual kasi.. Inuna ko na ang pag s-stroll hehe.. Sensha kung naulit na yung question

sa revo 2001 meron shock sensor ito, pwede mo pa ng iadjust ang sensitivity nito sa maliit na rotary switch using small flat screrw driver.

Here is the tvss pos from a toyota camry. There is a shock sensor adjuster as seen it the picture.

Replaced this sucker with a cheap alarm and works perfectly.

i think toyota's tvss is both a keyless entry and an alarm. it will trigger an alarm sound once the door and trunk is opened while the alarm is still engaged. unfortunately, wala daw shock sensor ang tvss.

It has shock sensor actually, but not that sensitive.

Go inside your car and arm the TVSS and wait till the LED flashes, using your hand, slap hard the top of your instrument/panel cluster and you'll be surprise that the horn/alarm/flashing turn lights will all get activated.

I really don't get it when Toyota SA says it does not have shock sensor while it really has one. I even demonstrate it to a dealer when they told me it does not have shock sensor, they were awed when I trigger the alarm by slapping the dashboard centering the instrument panel.

^^^ wow! that's good news! good to hear ma meron palang shock sensor ang tvss. para kasing useless ang alarm without a shock sensor. pano kung may bumangga sa kotse mo then di siya tumunog. eh di bigla ka nalang mashoshock na pag nakita mong may bump na ang kotse.

Actually, di siya ganon ka sensitive. Kahit ugain mo ang car di siya mag-aalarm. mag-aactivate lang ang alarm pag hinampas mo sa dashboard sa tapat ng intrument panel.
