Car Alarms: No fob, toyota celica, dash area


Question
My Toyota Celica is in the shop for a new clutch. The mechanic obviously had to remove the battery to do the work, and after completion, reffited the battery...and that's when all hell broke loose! i brought the car second hand and it didn't come with an alarm fob, just the ignition key. The alarm is a CI mobel after-market fitting but I can't find any details on it. What I'd dearly love is possible info if there's any way a fob can be obtained that I can program to the said unit!
I look forward to your reply.

Many thanks in advance.

Answer
Alrighty, not familiar with that system but try this:

  You'll need to set off the alarm for a few seconds.
then, look under the dash area for a button or, a toggle
switch. When you locate it, turn on the ignition
key, press and hold in the button (little
spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly)
until the alarm chirps 1 time. This should over ride
the system, and only the keyless entry part,
if installed, would still be operating.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.

At this point. the alarm would have reset.
If this had a starter kill relay installed,
it would now be opened, and the engine would
turn over when tried. This is override/reset.

You would repeat these steps to go back to
user mode but in your case, I'd leave it this
way until you can have a service technician
get under there and remove/replace & repair.
DO NOT leave this system in there or your
headache will get worse.

Let me know what you discover
& if you want to upgrade to a
better, more reliable system.
