It sure looks like it would work, you will even have spare parts as it is designed for 4 door applications. The switches are optional, you can get them from www.a1electric.com . I'm about to purchase one more for the passenger side, as the window switch looks a little lonely on that side |

anyone have any info yet on how to convert the hatch on the liftback to power lock/unlock? I think power popping the hatch would be a major hassle, but I would at least like lock/unlock.

when i got my car upgraded (at a local shop) to power locks, they were able to get it so when i press the unlock button (on my stock key/alarm) my trunk unlocks as well. let me tell you guys....its pretty sweet. the first week i had the car it was hell unlocking/relocking the trunk everytime i went into it (especially since the damn alarm would go off if i forgot to disarm before opening the trunk) the only thing they said they couldnt do was get the trunk to pop open without me pressing the button, but that is a minor detail. CHEERS!

i got ripped off for mine, 1400 for the stupid Autohaus package. it's a POS. what kind of remote entry works no more than 15 feet of the car? and it also has problems continually.

Actuators
I mounted the lock actuators on one of my doors the way it is pictured but after watching the bracket move when the acturator was activated made me believe that the screws on the bracket would loosen over time. I deceided to mount the actuators directly to the door in the same area that you have mounted the top of the bracket. I mounted the clip a little higher than the actuator and bent the rod. It is very secure and works fine. I had to remove some of the foam on the back of the door panel but it fits just fine. I recomend you to use different screws to secure the actuators. Maybe a hex head that can be turned with a socket would be easier in a tight space. Trying to use a short screwdriver to turn those cheap screws will only cause the head to strip. I also kept the cable fastened to the white plastic bracket and I secured the outside of the cable sleeve with hot glue to keep it from moving as an added precaution. The outer sleeve of the cable should not move. Power windows will be my next project and it looks like you did a nice job on your install. Thanks for the pictures.

All the ones in my area did not offer the power package and alot were bare without the convience package either. I could only find one person who could do the power locks since they were the cable wire locks but I'm getting a good deal cause he works with me.

No power package
I believe that I had the first Yaris sold in New Jersey. I bought it the first day it came out and it was the only one the dealer had. It was a base car with auto trans, rear defroster and wiper. They could have sold three or four of these cars that day while I was waiting to sign the contract. I put in a remote starter as well as the door locks at seperate times but I should have just done it all at once with a good alarm system with remote start and locks. If I get a chance in the near future I will take off the door panel and take a photo of the acturator installation for anyone who is interested.

A lilttle tip for somebody doing a Keyless install (I used A1Electric's keyless kit).
The parking lights wire to connect the "visual" indication is the green wire in the big connector at the top left corner of the fuse box. It took me some internet time to figure it out !! |

That looks great! Fantastic job!
I'm thinking of doing the power locks install on my girlfriend's Yaris. I'm sure your pictures will come in handy. How hard was it to install the optional door switches into the arm rest? Did you just cut a little hole? |

I would advise against the switches if you're just doing locks. I mean, the ones in the picture look great, but you don't need them. The locks work fine without them, and there is enough work to install them without extra switches.
