Im now working on using the trunk button for locking and unlocking my rear storage boxes : ) - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Nice simple mod! Thanks for sharing the link. The only thing I change is the DYI procedure. As a retired automotive technician, I've seen both wire connections failed numerous times over the 40+ that I've worked on vehicles. I'd solder those connections ( specially on off road veh because of vibration) if I have to put my job on the line or my own veh. Overtime, I've seen those wire tap connector actually completely cut the main wire. You are familiar of your own car . You can get away with it. Thanks for sharing the idea. I'm sure this kit can be adapted to any veh with non keyless entry with power lock. Those two white wires just change its polarities when you press the lock or unlock buttons. With this said, You can even rig this kit to lock or unlock any accy like safe, exterior tool box, etc. All you need is an actuator to actuate a fabricated rod lock.
I think that’s a great point, as another commenter mentioned,using some butt connectors is a better option.

Bought the kit and installed this today on my '02 V6 Tacoma. Appreciate the video. Mod works great and was a simple job.
Just wired one to my 02 v6 Tacoma. Except nothing! Wired as shown in video. Anyone have any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!
Thanks!! Just installed. Changed my life!
Dude thank you so much for the DIY write up. I bought the kit from your Amazon link and can't wait to do it. Please keep doing stuff for the 2001 Tacoma, mine is benefiting from your knowledge =)
Sweet!
Same here. My '02 holds a special place in my heart. With the help from your videos, I'm now making steady improvements. Thanks!
I did it and it came out nice. Thanks for the info
Best mod ever!! Thanks
Why only three (now four) comments. THIS IS AWESOME
Just bought one!
I have the same truck and year and didn’t come with a remote and bought original from eBay and program it and works perfect but you can’t beat that for that price you got yours 👍
Oh thats really cool, how did you identify that it had a receiver? where is it located?
I am from India thank you for your information.❤
I installed this same unit on my 2001 Tundra SR5 access cab the other day and thought I'd share my findings! Oddly, the Tundra's lock switches are ground-triggered instead of positive-triggered like on the Tacoma.
* Red goes to constant power. I used one of the wires for my trailer brake controller.
* Black, yellow, and yellow/black get spliced together and go to ground. I used one of the bolts near the interior fuse box.
* White gets tapped into the white/green wire coming out the front of the interior fuse box.
* White/black gets tapped into the red/yellow wire coming out of the front of the interior fuse box.
I had room to stash the box directly below the steering column. I haven't yet wired up the flashers but I'll do that next. The brown wires will need to go to green/black and green/yellow coming out of the back of the interior fuse box.
Note: in my first attempt I spliced the orange and orange/black wires into my red wire but this caused my door switches to stop working. I believe this is because the trigger splices are further "downstream" than the door switches so the constant power from the orange and orange/black wires prevents the door switches from grounding the circuit. I'm confident that leaving the orange and orange/black wires unused will fix this problem.
I'm going crazy trying to get this working on my 2001 Tundra. I seem to have the same kit and wired up the same way. I've confirmed all connections are solid. Ground is in place.
Other than a different 12v constant I followed what you outlined exactly with no luck:
* Red goes to constant power. I've tapped into the 12v white/red near the fuse box (confirmed this is sending power as the LED flashes on the fob module when locked and stops flashing when unlocked)
* Black, yellow, and yellow/black are spliced together and go to ground. Using a bolt behind the fuse box that is clearly a ground point for other items on the vehicle.
* White is tapped into the white/green wire coming out the front of the interior fuse box.
* White/black is tapped into the red/yellow wire coming out of the front of the interior fuse box.
And nothing.... if I tap either of the orange wires to my ground I can lock and unlock manually via those wires, but nothing via the key fob. Any thoughts? Would love some help here! Any thoughts on what the issue could be? Could you double check your setup?
Informative. Thanks
Thanks! thats always the goal
It's the little things that bring the best enjoyment sometimes ;-)
You got that right!
@@OverlandUnderBudget I just did a mod I read about in my '03 where I took out the digital LED where the clock was, and replaced with a battery voltage indicator. Best $5 ever spent!
@@mlb6d9 oh I like that!
Oh wow! I have a 2003 PreRunner and mine came with keyless entry. I thought they all had them
I recommend you use/include heat shrink solder connectors.
Same process as the standard heat shrink tubing, with the benefit of soldering the wire connections
Is it possible to wire in the little beeps when you lock/unlock so you know it's working from a distance? I got mine installed, and absolutely love it even without the audio feedback :P
I'm going to add this to my f350 I've been slowly updating.
Ok so I had the courage to try this despite my low aptitude for this kind of thing. Question, is the led supposed to flash when I send action to it with remote? Mine flashed briefly as I sent actions from remote but stopped and have not been able to communicate with it
Check the control panel settings to see if it is possible not to activate the system if you click and do not open the door. I once locked the keys in my Toyota
did you have to buy any type of electric actuator for the doors?
I added my own keyless entry and the key fob works great, but the lock and unlock button on the door panels no longer work. when the key fob module is unplugged the door panel buttons work but when plugged in the door panel buttons no longer work... Any advice?
Hey, I hope you're still replying to these. Would the solid gray and solid purple wires for the lock/unlock triggers be the same on a Toyota Corolla of the same year?
Awesome vid, How did you like that vid from Aye team overland!? He is just starting but awesome, quality videos!!!
If I just want to unlock the driver side door don’t you just press once and to unlock all doors press twice ? Does it have that feature?
do you know if this would work for 2001 tundra too?
Man I bet it's like a new truck. Personally I use black heat shrink because the soot marks are hard to see. 😂
I have a 2002 Escalade and the original keyless system will not program. I want to go aftermarket, but need to know where to wire this on my truck??? How do I contact the company.
Shouldering makes a more permanent connection. The wires can pull apart.
I love your videos and what you do but as an automotive and diesel Instructor that teaches electrical and wiring I just have to cringe a little bit at this lol. But still love what you do!!
Hey I can take a compliment and criticism! But since you have the knowledge, what type of wire splice connection would you suggest for this?
@@OverlandUnderBudget heat shrinkable butt connectors with heat shrink covering that, or a soldered connection point with heat shrink. It's how we teach our students at the school i teach at. Also when i worked for caterpillar that's how we made any electrical connections. But I also use duetch connectors on everything it's my ocd I guess lol.
Awesome, i think i'll go back and redo those connection with butt connectors
@@Yotatecher
Just installed mine! So super easy thanks to your video. Did you ever figure out what wires besides Grey and Purple are? Would love to have the lights flash when in locks/unlocks. Thanks again! 👍🏻
Hey man did you ever figure this part out?
@@lukeallen2271 Unfortunately not
I have electric door locks on my 95 do you think this would work?
yes any electric door locks should be able to be triggered by this setup. You just have to identify the correct wires to tigger.
if the wiring on this kit fails, and you're inside the truck with the doors locked, it would be impossible to open the doors, correct? there'd be no way to unlock the doors without the power locks unless i'm mistaken. want to do this mod but have had a door lock actuator fail on me, forcing me to get out the passenger side. just want to make sure i'm not missing something with this concern
Inside you can pull up the lock indicator and outside you can still use the key with a dead battery. This kit only acts like pressing the button. Nothing else changes
Anyone know what wires will control the turn signals? I’d like to know if it’s locked from a distance!
Awesome video, I just did this but will go back and solder as those clips are very cheap and kept shorting out.
Is there a way to program an oem key fob to this system?
Auto Locksmith here. I did this mod to my 1996 SR5 Tacoma. Has power locks stock/no keyless.
The only way to program new remotes to this unit *that LOOK OEM* would be finding universal AND rewritable OEM style fobs. These can be found on Amazon/Ebay (try VVDI or Xhorse products, Autel as well). You would have to set the FCC# on the universal remote to the FCC of the same designation as the fobs that come in this kit if that info can be found (what can you say for China-brand?!)
Not an easy feat, but do-able.
You need to solder as well. Heat shrink is no more secure than using electrical tape.
Is there another way to sync a new remote?
Depends on the system. But most have a sync button on the master module that enables you to do so.
Does this work on the 3rd gen 4Runner as well?
Yes it does, but the wire colors for trigger wires may be different. So double check that
i’ve got a 1st gen 2000 tacoma, totally different wiring, i have the electronic door locks and everything but can’t seem to make sense of this wiring diagram, any advice where to look?
Installed this kit on a 99 4Runner but after install I'm now unable to use the lock-unlock button from the inside driver door side. When I disconnect the system, the buttons work again. Has anyone had a similar issue?
In this video he joins the 2 yellow wires with the POSITIVE wire... In many other youtube videos - the YELLOW wires are grounded -
i dont know how that works ' I would think a electrical short would happen to someones truck or a door malfunction like whayy you
mentioned.. Ive read other people saying the factory lock/unlock isnt working as well - cheers
Wait so your driver door lock actuators still work? 🤣
what head unit do u have?
its in my amazon store! also new video on it soon
How do u program it
No need to. Comes paired with the keys In the box
Followed every step in this video, the locks either stay stuck unlocked or locked depending on how the module sits when I connect the harness onto it. Key fob does not seem to communicate with the module at all and locks will not stay in desired position even when using the door switches to actuate them.
Hey! That’s interesting. Did you test the constant power wire before tapping into it? What year make model is your truck?
@@OverlandUnderBudgetI’m having the same issue. When I plug in the module the doors lock. Remotes don’t work. Connected all wires exactly like yours.2001 Tacoma TRD
Will this work on my 2000 Tacoma?
I did this to my 1996 Tacoma, The wiring is essentially the same until 2004. Different trim levels did vary in location points...but overall its the same. It's a Toyota, they make stuff simple!
How is the security? I'd be concerned about someone buying this kit and opening my car.
I mean a rock will open any car door via the window pretty fast.
Not sure if this will work on my 2nd Gen, but will update this comment regardless.
It worked!
But the video skipped an important part: Programming the remote
Impossible to do that in 10 mins!
As a person that has done numerous wiring troubleshooting jobs, that type of wire tap is the absolute worst option. Not trying to be critical but just a heads up I would not get in a habit of using those or recommending them, they typically do not withstand the test of time.
Appreciate that! Will probably change to but connectors next. Thanks!
This is not. Keyless entry! Or else you can leave the fob in your pocket walk up to it and it unlocks
I also don't have automatic locks or the actuators inside the doors that operate them... so how's that 10 min promis that's in the title of this video supposed to work? I guess I better start gettin' real quick with my auto-lock installs... too bad that's not what I do for a living... good thing I intentionally bought a vehicle with manual locks and windows on purpose because that's what I wanted.
Just givin' you a ration of $h¡t... Honestly, it was a great vid, thanx for sharing it.
I have an 89 toyota pickup 4x4 3.0 that has power locks and windows, would this kit work with my truck as well?
