So the easiest way is probably to go on toyota.com/owners and register your VIN. Under the "my vehicle" tab at the top, you can select "vehicle specs" and it will pull up all of the factory specs for your truck. My security system is factory installed and labeled "VP CONVENIENCE PKG W/KEYLES ENTRY PWR". You could also call your local Toyota dealer and have them run your VIN if you can't get a good answer from the website. Hope this helps, thanks for watching! - Sal
Oh my gosh I LOVE you!!! I’ve had the correct fob for two years and couldn’t get it to pair. The missing step was moving the two electrical connections. And finally SUCCESS!!! As a thank you I will be praying for you and for your intentions!! You’re the best!!!!
Thank you / Thank you / Thank you - your are the reason that TH-cam is priceless - no telling how much $ has been saved by your youtube video. God Bless You!
I am very much a do-it-yourselfer. I have researched so many sites and read so many articles on how to do this I have contacted Toyota for the technique. But you my friend have fixed my problem. Thank you so much for posting.
Sal--I wanted to say Thank You for making reference to the Toyota Owners site (in many of your videos). Based on Carfax, I didn't see that my '03 Tundra had ever had the timing belt done, but then when I checked the Owners site, I saw it was done 4 years and 26,000 miles ago. You literally saved me $1,100 on an appointment for next week.
Thanks for this video! You explained it so clearly, especially the location of the RS3000 box. I bought my 2002 two years ago and this was one of the first things I tried to do, but couldn't find that box. I don't think I found any post in any of the forums that said it could be behind the air duct. I couldn't see the green button on the box, and removed it from it's stud. From there, i could actually see the security light light up like the manual said, that helped with the timing especially clearing previous remotes from the system. I had been slacking off on the minor upgrades on mine, but I think you're one of the few still making content on the First Gen. I'm enjoying the videos, I like that they are short and simple, but heavy on good content. Keep it up.
Of course, I am glad it was helpful. I didn't find much out there when I was looking for it myself so I wanted to make the best video I could explaining it. Thank you for watching! - Sal
Thank you for this. Watched some videos earlier for my 2002 Tundra then today broke the Key Fob. Couldn't find the box. This helped tremendously. Thank again!!
Thanks for the help! If you press the lock button when the door is open you can then press the unlock button and it will stop beeping without having to mess with the ignition
Hi, I just wanted to thank you for the great video I never would have known to do the connector switch you recommended in this video I had my truck at the dealer and they could not get a replacement key fob added to the security system I watched your video and it worked perfectly!
I appreciate the video. Really great instructions from all your learning curves to share with us. I finally installed two new fobs on my Tundra. I had one original fob key from the dealer/previous owner left. I lost the other set of keys. So my only set was on its last leg. Thank you once again for sharing!
I wrote down the instructions for the video on the 2015 Tacoma, I haven't tried them yet, but your tutorial was alot more informative since my truck is a 2007 tundra alot closer in age and the key fob I got off Amazon actually had the same ID # that is listed on the back of my key fob I'll check out the info in your links and maybe I can do this with out a dealer or locksmith or renting a tool from someone online so thanks again
Yeah, I think all of the instructions are vaguely similar but with some small nuances for each model. Best of luck getting it paired up, and thanks for watching!
2000 SR5-mine was located on the driver kick panel, above the fuse panel, tucked way up there. Spentt an hour searching where shown in the video and on the passenger side/center console
Thanks for the video. Just ordered a fob. You vehicle choice is prime. My 1st car was a 89 240 with a redtop swap. Got rid of it years ago but obivously still rocking the 05 tundra. Good content, I'm subbed. 👍👍
Thanks! have 2002 SR5 V6 and the module was looped like in your video. The locking unlocking behavior now work when I turn the truck on off. unfortunately the generic fobs I bought don't connect. Going to order a OEM used off ebay and give it a shot.
I moved the connectors like you said, and I hit the switch and the doors lock, but however, that other box that’s supposed to be just above the box with tape with the green button for some reason my 2000 doesn’t have that crazy
Several years ago I attempted to program the remote that came with the 02 Tundra I had purchased from a previous owner. Zero success. Totally gave up. I think I even tossed the remote. A month or so ago my lock cylinder on the drivers side door broke so I could no longer use the key to unlock the driver's side door. Instead of replacing the cylinder I revisited the idea of programming a remote. In researching this I came across your video. PROBLEM SOLVED!!! Never heard anyone mention anything about switching the connectors. Not sure why the connectors would be set up from the Toyota factory to bypass the alarm system. Any thoughts on why? How did you discover this bypass? Thank you so much! Looking forward to watching your other videos for my Tundra!
Love to hear that! I couldn't really come up with a good reason why Toyota would swap those. But I stumbled across and old forum that talked about this and had to make a video to share it with a ton more people who shared my frustration lol. Thanks for watching
Thank you I have 2 remotes on 2001Tundra that was totaled and saved them I just bought 2002 Tundra . OEM works after 2 switch connectors and programming . Aftermarket doesn't work. . Thanks for video tutor
That's great to hear, I have definitely considered a remote start especially now that the mornings are getting pretty cold, but I haven't done any serious research into what brand I'd want to get or anything like that. I'll keep the channel updated if I decide to do it! - Sal
I got a 2006 double cab. The buzzer when the door is open has proved to be handy when one door is not properly closed you walk away and try to lock it it lets you know
Hey, so I'm having trouble getting mine to pair and maybe you can help. I have the same year Tundra with the same alarm package, and ordered the same key fob. When I swapped the wires like you showed and turned the key to the on position, the doors did not lock. I pressed the green button but did not hear or feel a click when doing so, was that your experience also or did it click? Needless to say, when pressing the button on the fob after pushing the green button for 3 seconds, there was no beep. I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the alarm box, a short in the alarm wiring, or if there is something else I'm missing here. Any input would help.
My 02 came with a fob, probably aftermarket bc it had key start, from the used car lot I got it from. The fob has a new battery but all of a sudden doesn't work at all but the red light does flash
Hmm, I’m by no means an expert on these things so Im not sure what the problem could be here. Maybe if you got up under the dash you could see what module you have and troubleshoot from there? I’m assuming it would be in around the same location as stock - Sal
Hey Steve, you have to leave the connectors swapped in the new configuration to have the security system active. I guess I haven't actually swapped them back to see what happens, but I'd assume it just disconnects it again. Hope this helps! - Sal
Great video man but what does the bottom button do? I got key fob with the truck from original owner just replaced battery and lock and unlock works but can’t figure out what bottom button does
This confused me a ton haha but someone in the comments actually let me know that the bottom button is there to be programmed to another Toyota car that you own. So in 2002 when you're living your best life with 2 Toyotas in your driveway, you only need 1 key fob to unlock either one. Kind of a cool concept! Thanks for watching
Sal - great video. Have you found a way to completely disable the need for a fob/alarm? I’m kind of over it. Would unplugging the security module work?
Hmm, I would think that the best way to disable it is doing the reverse of my solution here with the looped wires. Before fixing it, you wouldn’t have known my truck had a security system or key fob. Just unplugging it could probably work too, but I’m not sure if that would mess anything up with some of the wiring going nowhere. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching - Sal
I have a 2000 Tundra limited but the console is mounted in a different place, it is mounted behind the air vent on he driver’s left side and I cannot seem to find the green button either and I am stuck.
Hmm, its definitely hard to find the green button because its so small. Have you tried putting your phone camera up back there to get a better picture? That always helps me out. Hope you can get it figured out, and thanks for watching!
@@JDMDriveway I have tried that but I still cannot find it, I’m so frustrated to the point where I feel like calling Toyota and either have them do it or have them at least help me out. Your videos do help tho I appreciate what you do for me and others in the community with a 1st gen Tundra. Keep it up man
Maybe... I honestly don't know. They have notoriously bad range, and I would first try swapping a new battery into the fob. That gave me a few extra feet on mine. Thanks for watching!
Great video dealer wants $235.00 to program new fobs! So just wondering if you returned the wired connections on the harness back to the way they were initially connected?
Hey Sal, I’m trying to get a key fob to program it. Previous owner did not have one. I don’t have that green button and everything looks different. 03 4wd v6 ac. edit: nvm. found out i have the rs3200 system. Is the bypass system the same? Would love the feature of putting into park to unlock and drive to lock.
Hey man, sorry I don't have any experience with the rs3200 system. I looked quick and found an rs3200 manual here, but I'm not sure how helpful it will be with pairing or setting up the different features. Hope you can get it figured out! - Sal www.toyota.com/owners/resources/warranty-owners-manuals.tundra.2002
I'd say that if you can look under your dash and see that box with the green button then you've probably got that system. You can see it without removing that lower panel. Thanks for watching!
I have the same exact truck as yours with the "VP CONVENIENCE PKG W/KEYLES ENTRY 2002 Tundra Sr5 V8" am I safe to assume that I need the same model number FOB?
I'd say that's a safe bet, and good news is that they're not super expensive so if it's not the right one, then you can try another and not be out too much money. Thanks for watching!
@@JDMDriveway got a 2 pack of fobs from e-bay one worked very well the other has to be literally an inch away from the module must be faulty thanks again!
I have a bab237000-129 would you be able use the -022 key fob ? Also I notice on the forums people talk about the grey and black fobs are different I have a 2002 tundra so would I specifically get a grey one I don’t have the original key fob so I have no idea which one it needs ?
Yeah I ran into the same problem because my truck didn't have a fob either. Unfortunately I think a good plan would be just getting both, and then returning whichever one doesn't work? Or getting one at a time. I'm no expert, and I haven't done research into this in a while so sorry I don't have too much help to offer. Hope you can get one working though, and thanks for watching!
So I have a 2000 limited ac my box was in a different location. It was actually near the fuse panel where your left knee would be. Much harder to reach but either way it worked. I'm curious though is there a way to make the horn beep when you lock and unlock
Hmm that's weird it was in a different spot. Good to know though, and I'm not sure about the horn instead of the chirp for lock and unlock. Thanks for watching - Sal
How did you do it? I have the same truck and I am struggling looking for the green button. I am very much stuck so I would appreciate it if you could reply back. Thank you
Unfortunately, this isn’t working for me, I’ve done it like 20 times and every once in a while, I get 2 beeps from my truck instead of one, but nothing else. I have two different fobs that I’m trying, and they both light up and click. They used to work, I don’t know what’s going on.
Dang man, sorry to hear that. If it used to work and it beeps occasionally then I wonder if the module just went bad? I'm not an expert by any means, but I know how frustrating it is to have features that you can't get to work properly. Sorry the video didn't work for you, but I hope you can get it figured out. Thanks for watching - Sal
@@JDMDriveway I'm not sure, I do have to report though that after bullying the key fob and then cannibalizing a second one for good parts inside, it seems to be working. It probably comes down to just being old, but I can say I wouldn't have done any of it without your video. Thanks man.
I bought the same remote, went thru the exact same steps you did except my doors don’t lock and unlock when the key is turned on. When i hold down the green button i hear the system click but the doors won’t lock. I’m unsure how to get the remote to pair
Dang I'm not sure about that. This has worked for just about everyone I've talked to. Hope you can get it figured out, or someone else in the comments has found a good solution. Thanks for watching
Help! I have followed your directions several times but to no avail. I am not sure if I am getting the green button pressed in correctly. I did get it to beep 3 times. My key fob is original. Perhaps it's no good? I do get red lights on it when I press it. Any advice is appreciated!
Hmm ok so the truck beeped 3 times when you pressed the green button? If your doors lock and unlock when you turn the truck on and off, then I would tend to think that it is a fob issue. But if they do not, then I would try to find out exactly which system you have. Once you know for sure, that will determine which fob FCC-ID you need. That is one of the most confusing things I ran into when researching this myself. Forums can be your friend if you get lucky 😂 let me know what you figure out, and I’ll respond to any questions you’ve got! I’m just an enthusiast, not a mechanic or specialist so I apologize for not having a great answer! - Sal
So I programmed the fob and it works but I can press the lock button and it locks it but if I press it again it unlocks. It does the same with the unlock button. Any idea why?
Hmm, on my fob the top button locks and unlocks the truck. The bottom button doesn’t do anything for me 😂 If you look in the RS3000 manual, which I have linked in the description, it explains the different options for what the buttons can do. Hope this helps! - Sal
I ordered the same key fob but the led on it won’t light up. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s broken or because it’s not on but I can’t get the led to turn on when I press the buttons. Do you have any tips?
Hmm, the first thing I would check is the battery. I’m not 100% sure how to open these fobs but it looks like just the screw at the bottom and then pry it apart. If that doesn’t work, maybe try going through the pairing sequence anyways, because it’s possible that the led just isn’t working? Otherwise you may have just unfortunately got a bad unit - Sal
@@JDMDriveway I took the fob apart and moved the battery around but nothing. I also tried to pair it to my 02 tundra but it wouldn’t work. I’ll probably just get a new one and see if that works. Thanks for the help!
I haven't played around with an aftermarket key fob myself, but I have seen other people use aftermarket fobs no problem. Especially the ones where the buttons and key blade are incorporated together. Thanks for watching - Sal
Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a good way to know for sure. I’d recommend using a toothpick or maybe a pencil or something that you know fits in the hole and can depress it all the way. Then you just cross your fingers and hope it works lol thanks for watching, hope you can get it figured out! - Sal
Hmm, I’m not sure. I’ve got the user manual pdf linked in the description and you might be able to find something in there. I haven’t heard of anyone else asking about that specifically though. Sorry, wish I could give you a better answer! - Sal
Hmm I would expect the limiteds to come with wireless entry. But there's a chance your truck didn't come with it. You could always confirm by calling your local dealer and seeing that they say. Not sure how the process would work to install a system now. Sorry, I'm not a professional, just a fellow owner. Hope you can get it sorted though, and thanks for watching! - Sal
@@JDMDriveway so I look under the steering wheel and I couldn't find the alarm system box I guess that mean I my truck did come with factory keyless entry even though is a limited.
It's the ATOTO F7 SE, I have recently upgraded to the F7 XE with wireless Carplay and Android Auto. I'm pretty happy with it still, and would recommend it! Thanks for watching - Sal amzn.to/3m8NYYU
Yup, my key fob only works within about 10ft of the truck max. I have also recently replaced the battery with a brand new one. I think it's just how it came from the factory, I've seen other people complain about the range as well. Thanks for watching
@@JDMDriveway Hey buddy LOVING the videos!! Keep em coming. I can assure you this is not normal. I am the original owner of my 2003 Tundra. It was MUCH better. I was getting up to 100 yards. Now, I have to be right by the truck. Something is wrong.
Just installed it on mine and another thing i wont recommend is to hold the lock/unlock button it activates a panic mode and to turn it off you hold the lock/unlock bottom again and once the light flashes and stops press the bottom button and it turns it off
Yup, I did that once before and it scared the crap out of me haha I couldn't figure out how to turn it off 😂 it was doing that unique horn honking sequence right?
Hey man sorry I’m just getting back to you now, my email is salciolino@aol.com. I’m no pro with this stuff by any means, but I’m willing to try and help!
I have a 2001 Limited. How do I find out if mine has this feature?

mine says the same thing can you post the link to the key fob the ones i see on amazon are just the casing .
Where do you buy the key fob and what brand is it?
Did you ever figure it out? I have a 01 lim too
Oh my gosh I LOVE you!!! I’ve had the correct fob for two years and couldn’t get it to pair. The missing step was moving the two electrical connections. And finally SUCCESS!!! As a thank you I will be praying for you and for your intentions!! You’re the best!!!!

Hmm, its definitely hard to find the green button because its so small. Have you tried putting your phone camera up back there to get a better picture? That always helps me out. Hope you can get it figured out, and thanks for watching!
@@JDMDriveway I have tried that but I still cannot find it, I’m so frustrated to the point where I feel like calling Toyota and either have them do it or have them at least help me out. Your videos do help tho I appreciate what you do for me and others in the community with a 1st gen Tundra. Keep it up man
Dang that is frustrating, hopefully you can get it figured out though!
Did you plug the connectors back to their original spots after programming?
Good question, but no they stay where you swapped them to. Otherwise the security system is bypassed again. Thanks for watching! - Sal
I was wondering that as well! Thanks Sal 🎉
Will a new fob make the signal distance any better? With my current key I have to be pretty close to lock/unlock
Maybe... I honestly don't know. They have notoriously bad range, and I would first try swapping a new battery into the fob. That gave me a few extra feet on mine. Thanks for watching!
Great video dealer wants $235.00 to program new fobs! So just wondering if you returned the wired connections on the harness back to the way they were initially connected?
Nope, you just leave the harness in the new position. If you switch it back, it just bypasses the security system again. Thanks for watching! - Sal
Hey Sal, I’m trying to get a key fob to program it. Previous owner did not have one. I don’t have that green button and everything looks different. 03 4wd v6 ac.
edit: nvm. found out i have the rs3200 system. Is the bypass system the same? Would love the feature of putting into park to unlock and drive to lock.
Hey man, sorry I don't have any experience with the rs3200 system. I looked quick and found an rs3200 manual here, but I'm not sure how helpful it will be with pairing or setting up the different features. Hope you can get it figured out! - Sal

Did you put the wires back afterward? Or should I not do that
Nope, you don't want to swap them back. That will just bypass the alarm system again. Thanks for watching!
I have a 2001 SR5 with the TRD package. How do I know if my truck has the rs3000 system without pulling off the covers ?
I'd say that if you can look under your dash and see that box with the green button then you've probably got that system. You can see it without removing that lower panel. Thanks for watching!
After you switch the clips did you switch them back?
Nope, you'll want to keep them in the new orientation. Otherwise you bypass the system again. Thanks for watching!
@@JDMDriveway I’ve done so many upgrades to mine wish u could see it
I have the same exact truck as yours with the "VP CONVENIENCE PKG W/KEYLES ENTRY 2002 Tundra Sr5 V8" am I safe to assume that I need the same model number FOB?
I'd say that's a safe bet, and good news is that they're not super expensive so if it's not the right one, then you can try another and not be out too much money. Thanks for watching!
@@JDMDriveway just hooked it up and ordered the fob dude your channel is super helpful thanks so much for your time!
@@JDMDriveway got a 2 pack of fobs from e-bay one worked very well the other has to be literally an inch away from the module must be faulty thanks again!
I have a bab237000-129 would you be able use the -022 key fob ? Also I notice on the forums people talk about the grey and black fobs are different I have a 2002 tundra so would I specifically get a grey one I don’t have the original key fob so I have no idea which one it needs ?
Yeah I ran into the same problem because my truck didn't have a fob either. Unfortunately I think a good plan would be just getting both, and then returning whichever one doesn't work? Or getting one at a time. I'm no expert, and I haven't done research into this in a while so sorry I don't have too much help to offer. Hope you can get one working though, and thanks for watching!
Argentina tundra 2002 ok 👍 👌
Thanks for watching!
Where did you get the key fob and the battery or the components for it i can only find the shell
I bought the whole thing battery included on eBay. They go up for sale pretty often on there. - Sal
So I have a 2000 limited ac my box was in a different location. It was actually near the fuse panel where your left knee would be. Much harder to reach but either way it worked. I'm curious though is there a way to make the horn beep when you lock and unlock
Hmm that's weird it was in a different spot. Good to know though, and I'm not sure about the horn instead of the chirp for lock and unlock. Thanks for watching - Sal
@JDMDriveway I don't have a chirp or honk lol I looked up the code for turning on and off but doesn't seem to work lol 😅
How did you do it? I have the same truck and I am struggling looking for the green button. I am very much stuck so I would appreciate it if you could reply back. Thank you
Unfortunately, this isn’t working for me, I’ve done it like 20 times and every once in a while, I get 2 beeps from my truck instead of one, but nothing else. I have two different fobs that I’m trying, and they both light up and click. They used to work, I don’t know what’s going on.
Dang man, sorry to hear that. If it used to work and it beeps occasionally then I wonder if the module just went bad? I'm not an expert by any means, but I know how frustrating it is to have features that you can't get to work properly. Sorry the video didn't work for you, but I hope you can get it figured out. Thanks for watching - Sal
@@JDMDriveway I'm not sure, I do have to report though that after bullying the key fob and then cannibalizing a second one for good parts inside, it seems to be working. It probably comes down to just being old, but I can say I wouldn't have done any of it without your video. Thanks man.
I don’t see any FFC numbers dose that mean my tundra doesn’t come with key less remote?
It's hard to say. I'd look under your dash to see if you've got that box under there. That would be the telltale sign. Thanks for watching!
I bought the same remote, went thru the exact same steps you did except my doors don’t lock and unlock when the key is turned on. When i hold down the green button i hear the system click but the doors won’t lock. I’m unsure how to get the remote to pair
Dang I'm not sure about that. This has worked for just about everyone I've talked to. Hope you can get it figured out, or someone else in the comments has found a good solution. Thanks for watching
@@JDMDriveway thank you for the response. anyway we could like facetime and see if you know why my truck isn’t doing the same?
What does it mean when you pressing button for 3 seconds to get the three chirps stops happening?
I'm not sure, you should only get one chirp after pressing the button on the key fob. - Sal
Help! I have followed your directions several times but to no avail. I am not sure if I am getting the green button pressed in correctly. I did get it to beep 3 times. My key fob is original. Perhaps it's no good? I do get red lights on it when I press it. Any advice is appreciated!
Hmm ok so the truck beeped 3 times when you pressed the green button? If your doors lock and unlock when you turn the truck on and off, then I would tend to think that it is a fob issue. But if they do not, then I would try to find out exactly which system you have. Once you know for sure, that will determine which fob FCC-ID you need. That is one of the most confusing things I ran into when researching this myself. Forums can be your friend if you get lucky 😂 let me know what you figure out, and I’ll respond to any questions you’ve got! I’m just an enthusiast, not a mechanic or specialist so I apologize for not having a great answer! - Sal
@@JDMDriveway thank so much! The dealer said it's the key fob. Looking to order new on eBay. Let me know if you have a good source for a key fob! Joe
I bought mine on Ebay from whatever vendor had one available, but I hope it works out for you, Joe! Thanks for watching - Sal
So I programmed the fob and it works but I can press the lock button and it locks it but if I press it again it unlocks. It does the same with the unlock button. Any idea why?
Hmm, on my fob the top button locks and unlocks the truck. The bottom button doesn’t do anything for me 😂 If you look in the RS3000 manual, which I have linked in the description, it explains the different options for what the buttons can do. Hope this helps! - Sal
I ordered the same key fob but the led on it won’t light up. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s broken or because it’s not on but I can’t get the led to turn on when I press the buttons. Do you have any tips?
Hmm, the first thing I would check is the battery. I’m not 100% sure how to open these fobs but it looks like just the screw at the bottom and then pry it apart. If that doesn’t work, maybe try going through the pairing sequence anyways, because it’s possible that the led just isn’t working? Otherwise you may have just unfortunately got a bad unit - Sal
@@JDMDriveway I took the fob apart and moved the battery around but nothing. I also tried to pair it to my 02 tundra but it wouldn’t work. I’ll probably just get a new one and see if that works. Thanks for the help!
Dang that’s too bad, hope it wasn’t too expensive. Best of luck with the next one 🤞🏼
Let us know if the new fob works!
Do aftermarket fobs work the same as OEM?
I haven't played around with an aftermarket key fob myself, but I have seen other people use aftermarket fobs no problem. Especially the ones where the buttons and key blade are incorporated together. Thanks for watching - Sal
how do i know if i’m clickking in the the green button on the ecu unit
Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a good way to know for sure. I’d recommend using a toothpick or maybe a pencil or something that you know fits in the hole and can depress it all the way. Then you just cross your fingers and hope it works lol thanks for watching, hope you can get it figured out! - Sal
Did anyone get something similar to this to work for an 06 tundra? Mine did not look like this underneath
Hopefully someone can chime in. If you don't have this box, you may not have the security package installed. Thanks for watching!
my 2003 doesnt look the same either. according to the vin, it has the vip package.
why does my piezo chirp twice when i press the button after programming mode? It doesn’t program the remote. I have the correct key fob.
Hmm, I’m not sure. I’ve got the user manual pdf linked in the description and you might be able to find something in there. I haven’t heard of anyone else asking about that specifically though. Sorry, wish I could give you a better answer! - Sal
Hey for my tundra it only says that from the factory it came with R8 emissions required factory but that's all it says and it's 2000 limited
Hmm I would expect the limiteds to come with wireless entry. But there's a chance your truck didn't come with it. You could always confirm by calling your local dealer and seeing that they say. Not sure how the process would work to install a system now. Sorry, I'm not a professional, just a fellow owner. Hope you can get it sorted though, and thanks for watching! - Sal
@@JDMDriveway so I look under the steering wheel and I couldn't find the alarm system box I guess that mean I my truck did come with factory keyless entry even though is a limited.
what head unit is that
It's the ATOTO F7 SE, I have recently upgraded to the F7 XE with wireless Carplay and Android Auto. I'm pretty happy with it still, and would recommend it! Thanks for watching - Sal

Hey guys have yall seen a issue where the Key fob works but only at close range? Battery is new in the key fob.
Yup, my key fob only works within about 10ft of the truck max. I have also recently replaced the battery with a brand new one. I think it's just how it came from the factory, I've seen other people complain about the range as well. Thanks for watching
@@JDMDriveway Hey buddy LOVING the videos!! Keep em coming. I can assure you this is not normal. I am the original owner of my 2003 Tundra. It was MUCH better. I was getting up to 100 yards. Now, I have to be right by the truck. Something is wrong.
Glad you're enjoying the videos! Thanks for the heads up about what the range should be. I had no idea it was supposed to be a lot further than that
Just installed it on mine and another thing i wont recommend is to hold the lock/unlock button it activates a panic mode and to turn it off you hold the lock/unlock bottom again and once the light flashes and stops press the bottom button and it turns it off
Yup, I did that once before and it scared the crap out of me haha I couldn't figure out how to turn it off 😂 it was doing that unique horn honking sequence right?
@@JDMDriveway yeah it would honk like 3 times and pause for a second then continue
Exactly!!
Lol another way to turn off the button when the door is open is to press the rubber button on the side of the door that triggers when it’s shut
Big brain moves over here 😂 that's a great tip. Thanks for sharing
Hey Sal, can I have your email? I'm having trouble getting mine to program and I would like to send you my information. Thanks man.
Hey man sorry I’m just getting back to you now, my email is salciolino@aol.com. I’m no pro with this stuff by any means, but I’m willing to try and help!
