Guys pls help me out, I drive a 2007 yaris hb 5drs. I would like to install central locking in all doors but a guy at a fitment centre advised against this saying that since the car has cable the car's original locks will break in future if I install the central locking . Is this true? Can I fit aftermarket central lock without any problems in future

Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't your car already have a central locking system?
There should be a switch to activate it in the centre console, above the handbreak.

If the O.P. is looking to install power locks, then he doesn't have central locking. The Yaris is sold both with power locks and bare bones with manual locks.

If the aftermarket kit is installed properly it will last the life of the car. It is much more work to do the install on a cable lock vehicle, which is why some installers will not want to do it.
