Nifty card, but the "business model" is a bit pony...
A bit like buying a family car and having the rear doors and seats inaccessible unless you fork out extra for a special key...
Mike.
that totally happens with toyota.
the buttons wore out on my remote door unlocker so I ordered a new remote off ebay from China.
the new remote came instructions staying to do all this nonsense (turn on/of key, open door, close door, hop on one leg, etc) in a certain order in a certain amount of time and the remote would pair with the vehicle. whatever... fooled me... I looked silly.
meanwhile my truck has 4 doors, only one with lock... and you always forget that when you are in the grocery store parking lot with your kart.
Anyway, I had to send off to China again for a cable (look for Toyota techstream programmer), and after fussing with 64bit windows and 32bit drivers I was able to mate the remote to the vehicles computer.
While I was into the dealerships "super secret" menu I was able to see that there were all sorts of other features I could activate such as car alarm...I'm taking fully functional alarm that just came disabled. I enabled the alarm. Worked perfectly well, in fact to well, and I kept setting it off myself so later I disabled it.
