PLEASE HELP.ALARM WOES
firstly hello everyone and thanks for your help in advance! Ok so I purchased myself a silver anaversery edition mr2.all the way from Bradford to Scotland..I got it shipped up via transporter.soo.here is my woe. It came with three keys and 2 key fobs.both keyfobs do nothing to the cars alarm,locks, anything..but they light up pretty!! If I unlock the car and open the driver's door the alarm will go off but on starting the car after ten seconds it will go off..if I unlock the door via passenger side and open that door first then all is well.no alarm..nothing.however the security light on the dash ALWAYS flashes.no mater what..what have I done wrong! The previous owner said it was disconnected from the battery for around two months if that helps.please help before I literally greet.

Re: PLEASE HELP.ALARM WOES
I had this issue.
It is normal for the alarm to go off if you open the door after unlocking manually with the "hard" key i.e not the fob. It is also normal for the security light to be blinking in this case.
You need to re-pair the fob to your car. There are tonnes of methods out there but for me the only surefire one is described in the link here: https://www.toyotaownersclub.com/forums ... -key-fobs/
It may take a few tries as its fiddly!
