Car Alarms: Remote wont chirp, valet mode, toyota avalon

Question
QUESTION: I have a 2000 Toyota Avalon. The remote locks and unlocks the doors but no longer makes a chirping sound. Can you help me, please?

ANSWER: Should be no problem really.
It appears from your expaination, that the
car alarm is in service mode.

Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the valet/overide
button, found under the dash area,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes off, and the siren chirps twice.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)

This should reset the alarm.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to valet mode.

That should do it.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart for
the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until it's safely removed.

If it does not work out this way, you will have
to replace the system with one you know how
to operate and what to expect.

Let me know what happens.

QUESTION: THank you, Kind Sir, for your speedy reply! Unfortunately I cannot locate the button or toggle you speak of. I got on my knees and used a flashlight and really can't find it. I even looked in the owner's manual, and there is no mention of this button. Can you help again, please? Thanks!

Answer
ok, does the owners manual discuss
how to feature program, or go into and out of
service mode? This is what you need.

It's even possible there is an antenna on the windshield with a
"call" button on it, or it can be part of the LED
assembly. Keep looking around under there.
