That is normal for the Yaris. The whole idea of locking is really just to prevent someone from being able to steal the car.

That is my preoccupation. In Puerto Rico, Toyota Yaris is the number 1 theft car. As I have understood the yaris don't come with engine immobilizer. Do you know any DIY engine immobilizer for this car?

You can easily add your own by adding a hidden switch connected in line with the black wires on the ignition switch.

Even my cheap Yaris has this feature (because it's mandatory in Europe iirc), and I can not believe that they omit this as a lot of its parts are contained in the ECU and there are not many external components. Tomorrow I'll try to find out how to tell whether there is an immobilizer or not without taking your car apart. |
