What kind of alarm do I have? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

My 1997 Camry has an aftermarket alarm that was installed by the previous owner. When I bought the car, I didn't receive any remotes or anything. The alarm still works, but I had to pull the fuse. Do any of you have a recommendation for how I can find out what kind of alarm I have? If I find out what type I have, would it be possible for me to get new remotes for it?

I have the brain, but I can't find a brand on it anywhere. It consists of 2 black boxes(one big & one small). The small one has a sensitivity adjustment(1-7) & says "dual stage", as well as a sticker that says "OK/6K made in taiwan". The large box says "security main control module" & has a barcode on the back with an 18 digit number. Both boxes look like they has a sticker or something with the brand on it but they were removed or fell off.

hmm, it may just be some cheap generic brand. did you try taking the boxes apart to see if there is a logo inside?

...or maybe try typing that 18 digit number into google and see if anything pops up.
