3.18 - RS3000 Alarm Systems - Adding a Remote (All)
Many people have purchased this alarm system with their vehicle, and sometimes
they want to add a remote. From the FAQ of the Toyota RAV4 is instructions on
how to program the RS3000 to accept another remote (Thanks to the RAV4 FAQ and
Ralph Becker for this information !)
From Thomas A. Yurick <designer@penn.com> by way of

First, some background info. You will need to find the ECU for the
alarm/keyless RS3000 system. Mine is under the drivers seat. (Authors note:
In the Tundra, the Alarm ECU is generally located on the drivers' side sidewall
area under and behind the dash.) Looking at the side with the connectors on
it, there is a small button or hole on the right-hand side. you will need to
press the button or insert a paper clip into the hole to press the switch
inside, following the instructions below. The Status Monitor is the the Red LED
light on the dash that says "security" under it. This procedure seems quite
simple, although the manual still advises one to contact a dealer to do it. It
sure isn't worth $76! Be sure that you follow the procedure exactly or there is
a chance that you might mess up the programming of the original remote. If that
happens, just follow the procedure again to add the remote back to the system.
1. Insert key into the ignition switch and turn to "ON".
2. Press and hold the ECU's programming switch for 3 seconds.
The Status Monitor LED turns on for 5 seconds.
YOU MUST PERFORM THE NEXT STEP WITHIN 5 SECONDS!
3. Press and release the remote control's top or bottom button (whichever one
you want to operate the system).
The Status Monitor LED turns off.
The Piezo "chirper" chirps once.
The exterior lights flash once.
4. Turn off the ignition. The ECU will now operate with the remote just
programmed.
