My old Eclipse had a factory security system, but didn't have keyless entry (I'd never experienced that funcionality !) So, my first exposure to keyless entry was my xB2, but it didn't come with a security system ! Hence, my big personal debate when buying the xB was whether to include SCION Security. I decided to install it myself as a top priority (and was so wowed by the convenience of keyless entry, I later added an aftermarket setup to my Eclipse !)

FYI the xB2 comes standard with "basic" security. I asked my dealer rep about it before purchasing and this was his reply:

"There is a basic alarm sometimes referred to as "panic mode". It will cause the horn to beep and the lights to flash if someone attempts to forcibly open the door or start the car once the car has been locked using the key or remote feature.

The security feature has the panic mode in addition to several other features: starter disable, alarm memory, glass breakage and more."

Just thought I should post this in case anyone is thinking of paying for Scion Security because they were under the impression that the stock vehicle has no protection. For my purposes and situation, the basic security is enough.

that sounds like the Scion security system, except that it is not standard equipment, but an add on.

can anyone confirm this?

I agree with you. Further, the checkout procedure included in the Scion Security installation instructions supports that interpretation. The base car comes with "Keyless Entry" only, which includes the panic button on the remote.
