Not on mine either...

If you pay the extra $250 or whatever the dealer ask, this thing work as a shock sensor.

If you don't pay the $250 or whatever the dealer ask, this thing works as the Steering Lock Failure Activator.

I've changed my post on that to 'Steering Lock Failure Activator.

It's a joke on the Steering Lock, take it easy bud.

I think it's a security device/component.

I went along with my dad to look at some new Toyotas three weeks ago. At the end of sale, when he was signing some final paperwork, they asked if he wanted this shock sensor alarm. He explained it as follows; some thieves walk around and tap on cars to see if they light up or chirp. If they don't, then the car becomes a potential target. He mixed some marketing in it to try to sell it but I looked at my dad and just shook my head. He declined.

I guess if it's the same device, think of it as an ultra sensitive "shock" sensor. Shock in reference to tapping, pounding, slamming, etc.

Sometimes those shock sensors can be very sensitive; you don't even touch the car (but come near it) and it can go off

The dealer never offered this to me...weird.

daisuke149 · 02-29-2012, 08:20 AM

turn it off when the alarm is going off.

elmz · 02-29-2012, 10:42 AM

My dealer didn't offer this ither, but they did offer a proximity unlock option, and I declined. But I kinda wish I got it now.
