If you have a Toyota RS3000 factory alarm, I would reconsider removing the factory harness. You can keep the harness installed and add an aftermarket alarm/keyless entry system using the product below.

No problem. It paid off to be lazy.
I removed mine before this product was available otherwise I would have kept it on. Luckily, I kept my harness so I only had to reinstall it.

thanks again. did you put a new piezo in?
is there anything i need to check for aside from the fact i am almost sure mine said 3000?
like i've never even thought of the alarm and i wouldn't even know - well aside from having a very weird clicking sound when trying to charge my battery so i had to disconnect the ground cable - that i even had an alarm.
do you know if there is more than one option for the look of the remotes?(!)

hmmm. i guess i need to check for this on the dash. for some reason i don't remember...

I’d get a new piezo just in case.
The factory alarm should have the RS3000 marking on the main unit under the driver seat. If you are unsure, take some photos of the main unit and send them to @Lutz Auto for confirmation.
This product lends itself to essentially any alarm/keyless entry system you want, so it’s a matter of preference at this point.

Keep in mind, the previous owner could have also removed the alarm indicator from the dash. Best to look at the main unit for confirmation.

If there are two plugs going to the alarm box under the seat it's a RS3000.

1 plug is the tvs alarm, both function the same but have different harnesses.

My alarm box on my 97 LX450 has 3 plugs on it and it's a factory alarm.

Take a picture and look for some stamping on it

Finally found a site that had a copy of the rs3000 installation instructions. This might also help in removing it, if that's what you want to do.
