Immobilizer window decals

I got my 2007 Corolla CE about a month ago and it's got a factory
immobilizer installed, but there are no warning decals applied to the
windows. The light inside is OK at night, but during the day it's hardly
visible. I've checked around on the net, and I see various crime prevention
groups promoting the use of warning decals, but I can't find anyone that
sells them! My city is probably the car theft capital of NA, and a window
sticker would probably help persuade some young punk to look elsewhere for
his next joyride.

Anyone know where you can buy them?

Your local auto parts store probably carries decals. The Toyota dealer
should be able to get replacement decals from another model, or you can
search ebay "theft deterrent decals"

I'd ask the dealer for them.

WESSON

And they look fake. <G>

The "Protected by... Toyota Immobilizer" decals might garner better
attention.

I asked my Toyota dealer, and they never carried them in their parts dept.
I wrote to Toyota Canada and I'm still waiting for a reply.

Locally, immobilizer decals are only be supplied with an after market
immobilizer installation. These decals are one of a kind and carry the
serial number of the immobilizer. I even called CAA and my provincial auto
insurer MPIC, and they couldn't supply me with a generic window decal
either. Go figure.

Do other Corollas on the lot have the decal? I've never noticed.

My '05 Tacoma has yellow immobilizer decals on both side windows, as do
the Camrys and Highlander I know.

There are lots of parts that dealers don't "carry" unless they special
order them. <G>

If all else fails, you might be able to have a local sign shop cut you a
vinyl version for a few bucks that you could stick on the inside of the
glass.

Yeah then they just steal the seats, radio, engine, tires --- but not the
whole vehicle.

Or they drag it up on the rollback, saving the wasted time of trying to
start the car. <G>
