Not all Yaris have the handbrake alarm. See above click. If anyone know how to install one ? I assume just connecting the handbrake light or wire to the seat belt chime? |

Your parking brake alert should be that you're not going anywhere ;)

The parking brake switch has one yellow wire. When the brake is up that wire gets grounded, so you can install a 12V beeper and connect its + lead to ignition switched power and its - lead to that yellow wire.

It would be possible to make one that only beeps when the car is moving, but that would take a bit of extra electronics to do so.

Similarly the seat belt chime only sound when the speed is over 20km/h(equivalent to xx miles), if it is easier, how possible is it to hook up the handbrake wire to seat belt chime? I would really like to have one that works only when the car is moving, can you briefly explain where i have to connect to make this work, I will try my best to figure it out myself. Thanks |

Bridging the seatbelt and ebrake would be way more difficult than adding a motion based signal to the ebrake. If you want to experiment with a beeper, tie the - side to the yellow wire on the ebrake switch and the + side to the pink wire on the ignition switch connector.

I kind of found a solution, it may work ok, but not what it ideally for
I will bridge a motion sensor with delay timer... let's see if this will work well |

You would be better off with an accelerometer. The Yaris vibrates more when stationary than when it is moving.

I could actually make you a device that works off the VSS (speed sensor) wire. My Demetricifier (which lets a km cluster work as a Mile one) interprets that signal, so driving a beeper instead of manipulating that signal would be very easy.

Sure, it might actually be a lot easier at my end, if it is not too expensive, Im really just looking for an economical way to do this little beeper. Thanks
