I'll post pics of the cabling once I clean it up. Frankly, that area is a mess right now!!! I cared to get it working, not to make it pretty.
I didn't use a switch. If I need to open it, just roll one lock and the other one will follow. The nice thing about the A1 keyless unit is that about 5s after contact, the doors unlock themselves, and once you turn off the car, they unlock automatically. It's a nice feature really

Yah, good call, I didn't realize until I researched more that the pre-existing lock switches will lock/unlock both doors at once.

Can any of you guys who have done this install post a quick list of what tools are needed or that you used? I'm pretty new to DIY stuff, so I'm still learning.

A tool for popping the door panels and a tool for pushing the ring off the window crank would be nice, but not completely necessary.
A drill
Various screwdrivers
Wire strippers and cutters and stuff

I can't think of much else. You don't need anything you don't have in the garage. The pros solder the wires when they splice into the electrical system. I use those tap connecters. Not quite as permanent, but easier.

Is it possible to get the switches in the panel near the e-brake?

I have a question what is this part I have on red called or where can I buy it? I am reffering to the piece to hold the door cable and the metal piece from actuator thank you.

You could potentially put the switches where ever you want. You just need to run more cable to make it happen.

Just Ordered

Hi all! I just ordered the keyless entry/power locks kit below. This thread should come in very handy while I try to install it. I'll try to take pictures of my install as I progress. Thanks!

The keyless entry/power locks kit? Yes, it's universal and here is a link to a power window kit on there that some have installed in the Yaris. I actually prefer manual windows, so I won't be doing that upgrade. LOL!

It took me about 4 hrs to install power locks on both doors and the trunk. I'm sure it could be done faster but I work at a leisurely pace. LOL! I did not do the windows, as I like having the manual cranks.

How are the motors / locks holding up? Another question, are the power window motors noisy and slower than OEM standards?

I have had mine in for over a year without problems. With the exception that I had to readjust one of the lock actuators. As far as the noise is concerned, I would say that both are about equal to that of OEM motors and locks. Initially I didn't hook the horn circuit to the locks, but couldn't hear them engage so I added that wire along with the lighting circuit to flash. The window motors are quiet and smooth and just as fast as oem, but it took me about 3 weeks to stop reaching for the window crank.

Why didn't i see this thread before i did my locks? it took me a long time to figure out the actuator location.

Mine was installed in 5 hours 2 doors only and with a budget of around $40 only. Keyless entry.
