A week or so ago I did the 7pin mod completely not thinking about my hate of the key in alarm. Then I saw a post on removing the alarm and that it is in the same area as the 7pin computer. GRRRRRRR

I had been putting off adding a ground to my stereo to remove engine noise, moving the CDL to the left of the steering wheel, and doing the temp gauge mod, (Thanks for the data on that!) and really wanted the alarm gone.

This morning I dove in and did it all! Amazingly the alarm was the most difficult.

On my truck the alarm was behind everything in the footwell, including my crossover and aftermarket alarm, I literally had to remove everything I had just done for the pin7 :(

Of course I did not realize this until I had taken everything apart under the dash because there was not a grey box slightly smaller than a cigarette case to be found and the noise seemed to be coming from everywhere .

I took it out so angry did it make me!

I finally found it, a blue box and feel like tying it to a long stick and parading it through the village like a successful hunter returning victoriously from the hunt.

I am going to sit in my truck and listen to the radio without the engine on just because I can now do it without the damn alarm!
 
I was in no way complaining about your write up. Sorry if you thought I was. It's gone that is all that matters, anyone want it??? :D
 
Have you verified that your dome light still turns on with all of your doors? Although I havn't disabled the buzzer on my LX yet I've experinced problems on other Toyotas I've owned when that module is removed. I disconnect at the key tumbler.
 
Can't verify dome-door function as my doors don't turn on/off the dome lights as my Room lamp control module is dead. I'll know if they work in October when I get the module.
