Toyota Vehicle Security System (TVSS)

**gaol** · October 14th, 2007 02:52 PM

Just had my TVSS in my Innova upgraded/supplemented with the Code Alarm CA-310 at Winterpine for P6500. Both systems are active so I am now more at peace than with just the TVSS before.

They told me it would take just 1 hour, but it took almost four hours as the guy who installed couldn't get the sensor working even at max settings. They had to call in an older guy who reviewed the first guy's wirings and told him to make some adjustments. The thread in the Fortuner forum advised asking for Leo (the older guy?) who has had the experience installing the upgrade on Fortuners. I think I should have done that in the first place.

But now everything is ok, except I think for the sensor settings--it's a bit too sensitive naman. Can I do the adjustment myself or do I need to go back to Winterpine?

i had a Clifford Matrix 3 installed last saturday to complement the TVSS of my 2007 4x4 Toyota Hilux 3.0 D-4D. paid P9,500 for it. so far it's working great.

Sir,

Can you test the alarm if it sounds by breaking your window? :lol: Just kidding.

You can do it if you knew where it was installed. There was a knob that need a small flat screw driver to adjust. Too sensitive setting will trigger on muffler sounds . . . .

* gaol, i also had my innova g a/t tvss upgraded to code alarm sa winterpine. Although I got a discount

It really provides you some degree of security. Will visit them again probably for the turbo timer.

Good for you! How much discount did you get?

I passed by yesterday to have the settings adjusted. It's better but still a touch sensitive. I asked them to show me where and how and I'll probably do the adjusting myself when I have the time.

*gaol Well, I got it for 6K. Anyhow, I already asked them to adjust to the minimum the shock sensor, so it won't be hassle sa neighbor during night time and also to prevent children playing with your alarm whenever parked outside the garage. Very reasonable naman pricing nila compared sa kasa.
