Have you got the manual for the alarm I think it mentions something about going off if it detects noise to suggest someone is tampering with the window, i.e trying to break it.

The XT-R is based on the XT3 which only has a Perimeter Alarm (XT4 & 5 have addtional Interior sensors ), so it only goes off when the doors are tampered with.

I believe you can fit aftermarket Sensors.

Toyota should be able to help out with the sensors, so it’s worth a try enquiring, alternatively you can try universal type sensors. Bellow is an eBay Link to one.

That’s good to know, I guess the Window Sensors are part of what they termed as ‘Perimeter alarm’ and the sensors inside are just a back up.

It’s also probably good thing not to have the sensors inside as often this is what triggers false alarms, when there’s a strong wind the air manages to come through the vents and triggers the sensors inside. My previous car (Avensis) car alarm constantly went off when there were strong winds, I use to have to arm it without the sensors activated switching them off via a button near the front reading light switch.
