Here's the situation. I kinda locked my Vios with the normal alarm button which is attached with my keys. But later when I came back, I'm unable to unlock my car. The 'car lock/unlock button thing' that is attached to my key doesn't seem to function. So, I had to put the key and open the door manually. And there went the alarm.

I couldn't find any alarm deactivating button in the car, neither could I start the car engine. I know that Proton cars have a button inside. You just have to put in your car key, turn it on, and press the button and the alarm goes off.

Any idea on how do I solve this problem with Vios?

you cant solve this until you bring the 2nd key/spare key ..or else you cant drive out the car..

what car alarm system u use? diff alarm system got different "diffusal" way

its the original alarm system, came together with the car when purchased..

turn ignition key on and off for 7 time.. only applicable if the alarm mechanism is same with viva.. not really sure

go and read the manual... should be the first place to look at... sure they tell how to do it...

cant remember where the manual is.. thats why I'm asking here..

call up cobra TTDI

I think there is a special black key
to turn the alarm off. Check if you still have
the key or not. Alternatively you can try putting your car to acc mode then off the repeat the cycle 7-10 times till you hear a sound. Else I think you will need the special key that came with your car to
disarm it. I know my Toyota does come with
one.

your remote control lost memory already, need to reset it again. I face this problem also after half year used my vios 07.
Get your 2nd key and user manual for vios alarm, it got step by step how to add on again your remote to your car alarm.
One more thing, if the remote control lost memory already is no way to deactivated the alarm coz if wan deactivated the alarm need separated u key and remote control, insert the key and turn on it, then put your remote at the yellow sticker at the right of your dashboard (only open the door then u can see it), so if the remote control lost memory, no way to deactivated it.
the toyota SC technician tell me that don't press the remote continuosly too fast if cannot lock o unlock, it will cause the signal crash then made the remote control lost memory... dun know true or not...

if not mistaken u can deactivate it by using the key with the immobilizer isn't it??? asked the SC Advisor already most of them said so...

Open the Door with ur Key... then Touch the Immobilizer/Touch Key on the touch pad... it will disable ur alarm... that is for Vios old model for new model pls call SC to verify...

thank you all for sharing..

Old or new vois is the same procedure

but what if the immobilizer has run out of battery? by the way, immobilizer is the kinda thing attached to your key, which has the lock and unlock button isn't it? pls correct me if I'm wrong..

i have lost my immobilizer key..can i just disable the immobilizer function?im using vios 2005

I have toyota vios...simple procedure..open door with key, look for this sticker on the right side of dashboard( when u open driver side door, facing it on dashboard side got yellow sticker..under that got reader..so after opening with key, touch the reader with remote..keep doing that..it will turn off without doing anything after about 30secs-1 minute..then it will come on again...so yea..keep touching the remote there and it will turn off..And the car can still start eventhough got alarm..if that doesnt help, then before touching the remote on reader, turn on iginte switch about 3 times(though not necessary)...hope this helpss

there is no immobilizer key in vios 2005, only cobra G5 alarm, which can be duplicate

This kind of problem happened to me last 3 days. The problem solved after reading comments from here. My Vios 04 is using COBRA alarm with immobilizer (black color), both of my remote was not functioning. What did I do to disarm my cobra alarm, I just unlocked the door using key manually. Once I opened the door, the alarm is automatically triggered. Then I turn on the ignition key and let all the lights on my dashboard are off after few seconds, then I touched the immobilizer on its pad. It worked to disable the alarm. I called Cobra TTDI, they said no need to duplicate the remote. Just bring it to their centre then they will repair. It will be cheaper than duplication. I will bring it to them soon..

How much ya?
