Keyless Entry

[BLKYRSSDN]

I am looking to get keyless entry on my 07 Yaris Sedan, I have power locks, and I contacted the dealer today, and they said it would be $600 for parts and install + tax, plus it would take awhile to get the parts in. Has anyone had keyless entry installed in their Yaris, and at what price?
Thanks

[slvryaris]

Yikes!!!!! I have seen some keyless entry sets for $99. I know Best Buy and Circuit City carry them. I would call them up for a price. Hell for $600 U can get a Viper alarm, remote start, keyless entry, and a date with my mom...

That's expensive! Do you work on your car? It's two wires for the doorlocks and three, maybe four for the keyless module and they are all on the driver side. It'll take about an hour.

date with your mom....that was funny...anyway, I called a local place and they suggested the car starter route cause they called to a dealership for me to see their price and it was insane even as a dealer/auth installer themselves.

[slvryaris]

Hey man her ya go keyless and alarm and everything for $299. I had Circuit City install some stuff in my G6 and they did a killer job. Might want to look into something like this.

Just as a heads up on antitheft....I had the glass etching done on my windows. They say this provides the capability tohave the car tracked cause the car jacker would have to remove the windows, windshield, and rear window. I got it at the Dealership...was 200 bones.

There's also this product if you want to do it yourself. An FYI for anyone who doesn't already have it done.

Although, watch out for alarm systems and such. My last car had a Pursuit in it with the ignition cutoff for the antitheft thing, it also had keyless locks, remote start. It was installed aftermarket before I got it. It was a self install by the guy i bought it from. One thing I found out later is that some alarm systems can seriously screw up your car in the long run. What it did was it had a relay that would turn off the ignition when it was activated. Problem is, relays are mechanical and suffer from the vibrations while driving. The vibrations would essentially turn the engine off for a short period of time. The gas that was in the cylinder would be sent out the exhaust. And then it fried my catalytic converter, and then messed all kinds of stuff up in the engine. But hey, all these problems got me a new Yaris. So it's not ALL bad, just mostly.

all in all, get an alarm system, remote start, keyless installed, but if you can, try to go solid state(no relays) or get it done by someone that KNOWS what they're doing!

[Bones]

Ignition cutoffs are not used anymore. This is not recommended!

Only the starter (wire) cutoff or kill is used. If the relay fails, it would not affect the car while it's being driven. The relay stays in the normally closed position, if the alarm looses power or damaged the car can still start. The only time the relay will activated, when the alarm is triggered and the ignition is turned on. The starter kill relay is rarely activated which prolongs life.

90% of new alarms with starter kill uses relays. There are several relays used by Toyota in your Yaris fuse box. If the relay is use properly, they last for a long time. Relays are considered to be reliable.

An alarm system should be installed professionally.

A keyless entry is very basic, especially on a Toyota with power door locks. Most of the wires necessary for Keyless entry is already fused and protected. A person with basic knowledge of automobiles and knows how to use a meter should be able to install keyless entry safely.

I dont think so but i could be wrong.

[Chaad32]

I dont think so but i could be wrong.


No...I asked and my dealership and they said it was imposible because the keyless entry uses the power door lock actuator to open the locking mechanism. But the can add power locks so it will work.

did you get a price on adding power locks??? i'm very interested in JUST that option..power mirrors and windows aren't a big deal..but having to stick the key in the door everytime gets messy and annoying..

I agree, you need to be careful not to scratch the paint! :smile:

yup! when I was on Spyderchat.com, I saw these keyhole plugs that you use if you primarily use Remote Entry. They were OEM color matched, and fit VERY snug into the keyhole, giving a shaved appearance (well, next to the handle, anyway). They were only about $10 a set, too....I use to rock them on a black Lexus GS300..they definitely helped the look on an all-black car :thumbup:
Too bad i don't have Power Locks :cry:

On the BMW's, we would take a lock cylinder delete, found on right hand drive 3-series (e46), and install it on our driver side handles.

No more key hole. :biggrin:

[eight_heads]

yeah, anyone know what actuators from toyota cost?

[amishpriest]

No...I asked and my dealership and they said it was imposible because the keyless entry uses the power door lock actuator to open the locking mechanism. But the can add power locks so it will work.
Which dealership, if you don't mind my asking?

Go tribe. ;)

I need help; i just ordered the keyless entry system for my Yaris (has power package) and it cost $266 and was installed at the dealership but the problem is they are telling me the remote cannot open my trunk because i don't have a trunk release system ( i think they are lying to me because i am a girl and don't know much about cars) but can someone verify for me? They had to rewire it twice because they kept doing it wrong (my A/C controlled my locks on the inside...go figure) and they are supposed to be certified!

Anyway long story short, can your (anybody's) keyless remote open their trunk and does it make any noise (horn honk or chirp) when you lock your car? Mine only blinks twice and locks.

[Bones]

What brand and model keyless entry did you get? Some of them come with a siren (which would make a chirping or siren noise) and some of them does not come with a siren but has the option of being hooked up to the car horn. Look at your manual and it should tell you what it comes with.

The yaris does not have an electric motor to open the trunk. The release beside your seat is controled manualy via a cable. You have to put a selonoid (electrical cable puller) to hook up to your keyless entry. There's an extra charge for the selonoid and installation.

[Buckethead]

True about keyless, I'm still getting used to 1 click, or 2 clicks. Honestly I couldn't tell you right this second what 1 or 2 clicks does. I still check to see if all the doors are locked before I leave.

Wow that sucks....Toyota is really bugging me out with this...lol....the brand they put in is Autopage (KE-115) see picture but he did tell me he can do an aftermarket installation for $300 but i don't think it is that serious i can do without it. i just don't see why i shouldn't get the sound option i mean they can hook it up to my horn

[Bones]

I checked on Autopage's website, it does not come siren. It does have a wire to hook up to the car horn. Maybe you can talk them into hooking it up for you. It's only one wire (you don't even need a relay). I'd help you out but I'm here in San Diego. Good luck!!

[riceboy]

You guys don't have this??

[Sp33dY]

Riceboy --- US people have cheaper optioned cars and seem to miss out on standard things like Electric Windows and Central/Keyless entry like us Aussi's and Canadians get as standard even on our base models!

[eight_heads]

yeah, we don't even get a tach.... they wanted it to be cheap cheap cheap and not go against the xA's

[johnnyfive]

if they were to actually ship the cars with the keyless, instead of the dealer adding it, we would have the on-key dongles...in the brochure i have it has the on-key ones like pictured above...but ate delivery there was no keyless, and the salesperson said they could put it in at the dealership...

[Yaris Dick]

I just had a Circuit City keyless entry ("Valet" model 721T) put in today for $99.00.... installed! The stealership quoted me over $500.00 for their version. So far this thing is working great. If you want it to actuate the horn, it's a bit more money due to the addition of an interposing relay. I elected to stick with the light blinking option. It also unlocks the passenger side and liftgate (requires 3 button pushes versus the traditional 2 within 5 seconds).

So far, I couldn't be happier with it.

Had the same thing done to mine. It was such a pain in the ass to get the car that the dealership put it in for free and never charged me for bit of it. Circuit City or Best Buy is the way to go if you want to get it done and get it done cheap.

[Doug007]

I had Best Buy install the Viper keyless entry for $130 out the door. I had them put the blue LED on one of the blanks by the shifter. Looks nice and works great. BTW, I went with the parking flash only, not horn.

[yrsdrgn]

i got my clifford matrix 50.5x and it come with keyless entry. Directed Electronics is pretty good with the alarming/electrical opening/closing stuff

[n0ts0intellig3nt]

sorry to bring up an old thread but i used the search feature this time =]

that vin etching is pretty easy. i actually did it myself with the help of my former graphic communications teacher.
on a side note i also etched (N0TS0iNTELLiGENT) on my rear window. it was small but i think im going to regret it in the long run.

and now for the reason why i actually posted:
how much did the people who got the matrix 50.5x alarm/entry system have to pay to get that installed

[dlinkwit27]

I hate to bump as well, but how hard is it to install keyless by yourself I haev an 07 LB and the only place around that I can find the simple Viper 211 HV (keyless only) is Best Buy, but I don't really trust them to do the install since they messed up my rear panel when I had them do the speakers on my old car. (Also their "free" installation" normally ends up costing a good 200-300 dollars for extra "parts and labor" that are impossible to argue against at the local stores).

[d4w1]

Go to Best Buy. The model of the Viper alarm system I want to have installed with keyless entry and many other options for less that $240.00 out the door.

[Niner]

Anyone done their own install? The install doc for one of the DEI units suggested that Toyotas use negative (ground) pulses to unlock. I want something very simple, just lock/unlock and trunk pop, so I don't want to pay for a system that has all the security/remote start stuff. Given how easy it seems to be to get into the door panels, I figure this shouldn't be too hard of an install.

I had a Carbine System installed in my Yaris W\ power Locks and a 2 Stage Impact Sensor and an added Radar field sensor. Cost me about 300.00$ It came from the factory originally with No alarm and No power Locks. Got it done by the dealership at a local car audio shop. Has worked great for me thus far.

[jamal1984]

i have a question for you guys.
My gf want to get me a Keyless and Alarm system, but she don't want to go to best buy or circuit city because due to alot of problems...Will not works for long time-theft will break in very easy, and sometime if it's too hot or too cold the alarm either will stop working or turn on by itself.
But when it's come to dealer, do they install their original Toyota Brand like Camry or Corolla that come with Factory Remote Control? Or they just throw in some aftermarket brand? I am really don't my where i go, as long i get my Keyless and Alarm System, but i need some of your advice.

[vacantj]

When I bought my Yaris it was the base model sedan with the power option and I negotiated with them and they threw the alarm/keyless entry but it was made by Chapman with two buttons on the control ARM - DISARM - I was disappointed I thought it be the toyota one..

[bigdoglover]

i also am looking to have keyless remote installed-i just emailed my salesman and am looking at best buy and circuit city but i am a little afraid to let bb or cc install because of potential problems. i can't wait to hear what the dealer will charge for it

[bigdoglover]

my salesman says they don't do dealer installed keyless entry-i have to go somewhere else for it.

[joe keeney]

After market at the dealer 245.

[phenylhydride]

Hi, I just bought a Yaris sedan with the power package (includes power locks, etc.), but without the keyless entry. I've been doing some research into getting one without paying the dealer ~$200 for some aftermarket one or going to a retail store like Best Buy. From the FSM I see that there is a "Door Control Receiver" module that connects to the ECU, but found no way of determining whether this comes only with vehicles that have keyless entry from the manufacturer (I didn't want to rip panels off if it's not necessary). Anyway, I found the site keylessride.com which has a service where you can enter your VIN and it tells you which product (fob) will fit your vehicle; try out this service for yourself! After entering in mine it says that all Toyota Yaris's come with Keyless Entry capability (they must mean the Door Control Receiver), and that all I need to do is purchase the fob (it's the kind embedded into a key), program it, and it'll work. Their uncut key is ~$200, so I then found that the Scion 2006 models also have the same FCC ID and are readily available on ebay. I found one of these for $30, and am waiting to get it so I can program it. I guess the upshot is that if the information I got is correct, then buying one of these aftermarket systems and splicing into these wires is unnecessary because we may already have the factory receiver in our cars! Let me know what you think.

[Super_BQ]

phenylhydride,

Please let me know ASAP when you get the remote. I'm looking for a 2nd one for myself as the wife uses the factory keyless all the time.

However, our problem is the Yaris is an Australian/NZ model (we live in NZ) and need to find out if the N. America FOB remotes are the same units as what we have (remote built-in with the key).

There's a programming sequence to add the remote - Let me know how it goes.

BQ

[phenylhydride]

Unfortunately it's not working. I was worried about this; when I go through the sequence of key in ignition, door close, and lock to on steps it doesn't activate the system to take more transmitters (aka it doesn't enter "add mode" (or any mode for that matter)). I suppose that the website that I found that said that all Yaris's come equipped with the door control receiver module were WRONG. You can bet your bottom dollar I'll be asking them why they said that. Anyway, sorry I can't help with commenting on whether that transmitter works or not. =(
