keyless entry broken?

[screenprintr]

All, read each post about this situation.

We just bought a 2010 Yaris. It came with two regular keys. Noticed a flashing red light on the dash board. It looked to me like it's for an alarm.

My key, I believe the manual says is called a Type B (Non-Keyless). Anyone know where I can get the proper Keyless Keys and/or how to verify I have a keyless system.

We do have power windows and locks. Also noticed that I have a Tach. Read on another post that this was as issue. Is it only for older Yaris'?

Thank you in advance. Hoping I can add the Keyless system to our car at the lowest price possible.

The flashing light is the engine immobilizer (which is the system with the RFID transponder in the key).

You can check with a Toyota dealership (or PM me your VIN) to see if the car was built with the keyless entry. Chances are that it was not, since you received normal keys. Upgrading a non-keyless one with OEM parts is crazy expensive (over $300 just for the parts required). Your best bet, if it doesn't have keyless, is to add an aftermarket keyless entry system. The one that I installed on my 09 (which had power, but not keyless) was less than $70 and is also remote start.

Thank you Scott.

What do you mean by, your Aftermarket had Power, but no keyless? What is the brand name.

I'm at work now, but will check the VIN after work and send it to you. Thank you for your help.

I meant that my 09 Yaris came with power locks and windows, but without keyless entry, so I added keyless entry/remote start myself. I bought an UltraStart XR1280, which is still working perfectly, 4 years later.

I just installed a super cheap Avistar keyless entry unit on my 08 Yaris (which I also added power locks and windows to), and that unit works fine, but doesn't have the range of the UltraStart.
