scorps1212 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Don't know what section to ask a question about alarms under, so thought this would be the best place for it. I've got a standard alarm system on my gen 6 GT already but it's only got the door and boot triggers. It don't have any supersonic sensors in the car. Is it possible to buy some supersonic sensors and wire them into the existing alarm system and just mount them on the windscreen pillars inside?

silver gt Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Don't know about 'supersonic', but if you've got a UK GT then it already has an 'ultrasonic' sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorps1212 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Oh right. Whats the difference between the 2 mate? From what i think i know, supersonic are the one's that detect movement inside the car. Like at the windows. What do ultrasonic sensors do and where is this located on the UK GT? Sweet.

silver gt Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 In the GT there is a single ultrasonic sensor on the top of the dash near the screen on the driver's side. An ultrasonic sensor will detect windows opening/breaking and movement inside the car. I'm not aware that there is such a thing as a supersonic sensor.

scorps1212 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Oh ok. I've never noticed it. Lol. So the 1 sensor, will that just cover the drivers side or will it cover windows at both sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euan Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 AIUI, ultrasonic refers to extremely high pitched sound, while supersonic is for things going faster than the speed of sound (like jet fighter planes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver gt Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Oh ok. I've never noticed it. Lol. So the 1 sensor, will that just cover the drivers side or will it cover windows at both sides? It covers the whole of the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planc Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm guessing you have a facelift Gen6, if so these have a Radar sensor situated near the handbrake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorps1212 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Mate I couldn't tell you if i got a facelift one or not. If you tell me how to check then i can tell ya. I know its got something to do with the front lights aint it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver gt Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 If it's a 96 onwards it's a facelifted model. Info about the different models here: http://www.celica-club.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Gen_6_Facts_%26_Figures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorps1212 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Oh right. Mines the facelift model then. Mine's 1997. Right i've taken pictures of the dash to show you guys. I can't see a sensor anywhere on the dash. The pictures probably won't load up so i'll have to paste the links to photobucket. LOL. http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m435/scorps1212/Maria/Image336.jpg http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m435/scorps1212/Maria/Image339.jpg http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m435/scorps1212/Maria/Image338.jpg http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m435/scorps1212/Maria/Image340.jpg http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m435/scorps1212/Maria/Image341.jpg http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m435/scorps1212/Maria/Image337.jpg http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m435/scorps1212/Maria/Image342.jpg In one of the pictures im pointing at a circle bit on the drivers side so don't know if thats it. And in another picture im pointing at the LED that flashes to let people know there's an alarm in the car. But thats all i can see. I cant see any sensors guys.

planc Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Facelift bud, PM me your email and I will send you a alarm part location diagram. The radar sensor is located under the console near the handbrake. Out of intrest are you aware you can program new or extra remotes to this alarm system.

scorps1212 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 So is it the block that has a red light that flashes when the alarm is armed Cause i can see that which is near the handbrake. But i thought that was just a light to say the alarm is armed. So is that the sensor? I tried sending you a pm from my phone but for some reason the link don't work from my phone cause its crap. Lol. So my email address is scorps1212@sky.com. Cheers dude. And no, i wasn't aware i could programme more remotes into it. So i can buy just a remove with funky buttons on and get it programmed to my alarm system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planc Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 No that is just a status LED the radar sensor is situated below the console. You can only code a Toyota remote like the ones supplied with the car, to do this you need to remove the stereo and access the alarm ECU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver gt Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 That's the ultrasonic sensor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planc Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Looks more like the solar sensor for the climate control to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorps1212 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Planc, can ya email me that diagram you mentioned? Just So i know where this sensor is. So the gen 6 facelift GT definitely comes with an internal sensor for the alarm which covers windows being smashed. I suppose there's one way i can find out. Ill leave the widow half down, arm the alarm, wait a minute and stick my arm into the car. And Hope it goes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
