Anyone have any intel on the Tundras that TRD tricked out back in the early 2000s? I have a 2002 SR5 with the 4.7 litre that I bought new. Now have 262,000 miles with no major issues. Regularly do maintenance on it. Among the things that TRD did was an alarm system. The alarm fob has 2 buttons, one for panic mode and the other for alarm activate/deacctivate. As time has taken its toll, the fobs are breaking apart. I ordered 2 new ones on line, but have to locate the "brain" for the alarm. Toyota dealer says alarm was installed by TRD, not factory and not dealer, but NOONE knows where brain might be. Dealer said for $90.00 per hour they would have a tech "look" for it. I declined as I pictured an empty wallet, dash parts back to me in a box and still no answer. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. Other than my 67 chevelle SS, I love my Tundra! Thanks in advance!

Went through the same issue with my 2002. Tried a few new fobs, could never get truck to go into program mode. A tech at a local audio-alarm shop tried with the same results. There are a couple of "how to's" on YouTube but none of them worked for me. My son has an 03 and I tried giving him the new fob. His truck entered into "program mode" using one of the YouTube procedures, but would not program fob.
Ended up just getting a new fob case online and put the old inners into it. Still just have one fob and one in my parts box which I will try to get programmed to my sons truck next time he visits. Lots of threads on this site addressing this issue.... Frustrating... Chap

It's up under the dash next to the steering wheel. Mine was two pieces (one maybe 5" long with a red button on it and a shorter square piece) wrapped together in grey foam tape. That is where you program the alarm from if I remember correctly. Everything is on the internet concerning where it's at and programming it according to particular numbers on it. Those numbers will tell you which remote matches and is needed. I think I found directions for everything a few years back on an aftermarket FOB seller. From there I had the numbers for a Toyota dealership service department to tell me what alarm system I had. Start digging deep and everything will fall in place. Good luck.
For the heck of it I did a quick search on U Tube and found this. It should get you going in the right direction.

By the way, type in your VIN # at the following link and it will tell you is you have a factory installed alarm and everything else about your trk. My trk has the little alarm indicator on the left side of the steering wheel. It has Toyota Security written on it. It is a factory alarm, and not TRD installed where ever that may be. The railroad tracks are between the factory and dealer, and I doubt alarms are installed there.
