Trying again, have a yaris question but my posts don't appear

Just bought a 2008 Yarris, and it makes a funny triple beep whenever I turn the ignition off and take the key out. What is it?

I'm starting to figure it out. My every reply is moderated too.

That one went through. You are blocking all posts with links in them.

edit:

if you were to take these six characters /bMe6/

and add them to the end of the url for a site called picosong dot com you could hear the beeps

Does it have an aftermarket radio, as it sounds like a radio that I used to have in another car. If not, I would suspect an aftermarket alarm or keyless entry system, as it is not from any normal device within the Yaris.

Thanks, but it is a very plain manual stick, no after market anything I can see (unless the stereo is not stock). It did come with 'theft deterrent system' but I see no lights, indicators, switches, anything. Thought that was marketing hipe. Have no info on that except some forms from the dealer.

The stereo is the sony CTX GD 620 IP and the manual didn't say anything. It happens when the stereo is off, and the sound seems to come from under the dash. And wired into the ignition switch?

I'm confused, to say the least. Thanks for replying.

The sony is definitely aftermarket and the "theft deterrent" sounds to be as well.

Brian, the stock radio in a 2008 Yaris hatchback looks like this:

And the sedan, I think, looks thus:
