Hi, i just got my 2010 xB and the dealer wanted close to 500 bucks to install the RS3200 plus security system, toyota part #PT398-52081. I found the exact system online from another Toyota/Scion dealer for less than half the cost so I ordered it .
Does anyone have this system? Anyone install it themselves? I understand its basically plug and play which is much easier from systems I installed in the past where you had to cut and splice. If anyone has this unit or has installed it, please let me know if you have any tips, tricks, hints or suggestions. Thanx

I've heard that its easy to do. If you dont mind me asking where did you buy it. Looking to pick one up for my 2010 also.

hi, I picked it up online at TDR Sparks Toyota for 239$ + shipping. Here is a link to the model I ordered. http://www.trdsparks.com/displayparts.php?Mdl_dtl=570&Part_cat=25&parts_id=1541. I cant say yet if its the correct version. Ill be installing Saturday if the weather is nice here in NJ. Goodluck!

It's amazing what the dealer charges for this! I got mine from eBay for $150 and installed it myself. The instructions are included and can be viewed here: http://www.trdsparks.com/install/PT398-52081inst.pdf.

It is as easy as it is going to get. If you can install a stereo, you can install this. Save yourself some money.

I'm waiting on mine to be shipped. The instructions say something but the v4 harness vs the v5 harness. Does anyone know what harness the 2010 xb came with?

The V4 accessory is Remote Start. The V5 accessory is Scion Security (RS3200+). Each has its own harness.

Not to burst your bubble but your better off getting an aftermarket alarm.

I installed a Scion Security system in my xB2 and it works fine. Expect to lose some blood from finger cuts while working among the behind dash support members, but they heal ! I got my kit from Sparks also !

 

[ai17828]

HaHa. You're exactly right Trevor. I sliced my fingers also while I was working behind the dash installing that alarm...almost as bad as a paper cut...

 

[TrevorS]

If you're interested, you can extend that alarm if you want. I just added a Hood-Open pin switch to mine.

 

[ai17828]

Really. Tell me more. How much and from where did you get that part?

 

[RedDragons]

With diodes you can add on any number of accessories, glass break, tilt, trunk.

Sorry I took so long to respond, I just haven't been back to this thread. I got the hood-open pin switch on Ebay and at first it was perfect, though a few days later I experienced issues. In any case, I finished my install last Wednesday including a couple DEI sensors. I'm pleased with the overall results, but I'm keeping an eye on that hood-open switch.
