Yaris 5-Speed Sedan Power No Factory Keyless Entry

I need some big help here guys.

I'm trying to get the Toyota VIP system for my new Yaris Sedan 5-Speed with out factory key less entry.

When I was ordering my car the dealer told me that in order to get key less entry I had to buy the VIP system. They got me every other option that I wanted, I signed the papers, and they said to take the car we'll order the VIP system and install it next week.

Now it's next week and they are telling me that 1st I can either have my money back or take a shitty pursuit alarm.

There are multiple part numbers for the Yaris VIP system depending on which options your car came with.

The dealer is now telling me that I can have the VIP system but it wont come with key less entry. :

When I designed a car on Toyota.com there is no option in my region for key less entry. From what I understand you have to get the power package and add on the VIP system. This will get you an alarm and key less entry like I wanted.

Now that I have put miles on the car I feel screwed. If I wouldn't of driven the car off the lot until they installed the alarm this wouldn't be an issue seeing as they should be able to order me the correct car with factory key less.

HELP!

They are now telling me that the VIP system can't be installed in my Sedan because it's a manual transmission. I'm pretty sure that in some VIP systems for other cars it comes with remote start. I think this is why their system states they can't install it into my car. Seems like they should be able to hook it up and not connect the remote start feature.

Anyone got ideas?

Let me assume you don't have the power package.

The jist of the power package is larger wheels, power windows and door locks, and a better stereo. That said, they are correct, you can't really get keyless if you don't have power accesories. They would need to install the power door locks in order to comply with that portion of their promise to you. I have a feeling they are saying "no" out right because they baited you just so you could buy the car, now they have to get out of it.

Installing the power door locks and then the VIP alarm is gonna cost them a bit-- which they aren't going to do anyway. As for the remote start part-- they're idiots. Again, here they said yes so you would buy the car, hoping they could get you out of it. I haven't heard of Dealors installing the VIP with remote start functions on 5-speeds, I would imagine that Toyota Corporate looks down on this because of safety concerns (read as law suits).

I would first complain to Toyota Corporate. Second, be the squeeky wheel. Lastly, if you really want the keyless and the remote start (for the 5speed)..you should really look into an aftermarket shop. Yes, the dealor could just not hook up the part that tells the Alarm's brain that hand brake is up and the clutch is depressed, but I don't think they would want to risk that lawsuit even if they made you sign some sort of release.

Be the squeekky wheel, see what happens, you didn't get what you asked for.
