cooperman Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 im sure they dont have an immobilliser on them. was also sure that the system is a "standard toyota factory fitted". thats normally enough for most insurance companies.

arizona Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Thanks guys, i'm thinking there's no immobiliser as well. Yes i said to the guy it would be standard toyota system but apparently if car is older than 1995 they need exact spec now Have looked up the one Shaun suggested but i can only find info relating to gen 6 when i googled it so now i'm not sure All i had to do last time i changed car details was change reg etc online and job done. Morethan want you do it over the phone and ask a million questions. I've looked through all paperwork etc and can find no info regarding any alarm standard or otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF though it wasn't until 96ish that immobilisers really became the norm. Pretty sure no Gen5 has an immobiliser as standard, none of mine have had one.

Its MoreThan who i'm currently insured with on the vert, all i wanted to do was swap over the insurance while its off the road for the winter as current insurance runs til April simple i thought cant go any further until i can tell him what the alarm is, factory fitted is not enough for them he went and checked with the underwriter for two pins i'd cancel it and start again but it'll cost more to do that, they will only offer me £30 refund if i cancel the policy and i didnt do in installments but up front so i dont really want to be starting again when it should be a case of switching from one car to another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY insurance co just asked if it was factory or aftermarket and at the time was just the factory 1 with out immobilliser didn't realy take any notice of what make it was when it got replaced with the gemini system or if it was even a factory 1 to be honest . I just no it had an alarm on when i got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizona Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Well have just spoken to a fella at Abbey Toyota He tried looking it up, then asking someone else and was told that they didnt come with a factory fitted alarm but were fitted with alarm at the dealers so were varying types His best suggestion was to have a new one fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
