Yes. There have been a couple of threads on it. You can purchase the remote receiver with two remotes. The part number is in one of the threads.

Details to install a Valet 712T in an 08 varis LB. This should work for sedans as well. You can get the unit off the web for ~$40. Do the install yourself and save $50.

Let me know if this works for you.

Good Luck

I followed your directions and updates to the thread and was successful in installing an Autopage RF-225 Alarm/Keyless Entry into a 2008 Yaris Sd. While the wires for the Autopage are in a different configuration/color, I was able to cross-reference using your information and make it all work. I did find three wires on the D3 connector on the stearing column, but I verified and used the black wire as directed.

THANKS FOR ALL YOU DID IN PUTTING TOGETHER THE PROJECT AND GETTING THIS DIY FORUM GOING. MUCH HELP/MUCH APPRECATED!!!

Now I just need to find a truck actuator selonoid that will fit and work for the trunk release. The autopage provides an button and output for that. Any suggestions for a selonoid that will fit?

I just installed "keyless" using DanQ's guide and I'm thrilled with the result - total success.
I don't know if it is widely known ( I'd hate to be redundant) but the Viper 211HV is identical to the Valet 712T; functionally, electrically, and physically. And they're both made by the same company. The only difference I can see is that the 211HV has a blue status LED. The Viper 211HV is sold on bestbuy.com for $139.99 with basic installation included. I got mine on ebay for $40.00 + $8.00 shipping.
My hat is off to DanQ for providing such an elegant DIY guide and for maintaining a website for easy access. I used CTScott's green wire mod but I agree with DanQ that it is good to get into the habit of using the remote to lock the car because it arms the optional ignition cut-off (regardless if it's installed) and causes the status LED to flash.

This is going to help me big time. I've been meaning to do this for 4 years now.

Dan Q and CTScott big thanks to you. I can't believe how easy it was once I figured it out due to your guys post. I ended up using the brown and green wire and took like 10 minutes to hook up. Works great and havn't ran into any problems with it. Again thanks for the DIY!

Hello All -

I really need assistance on this one. I have added power windows and power locks (remote entry) to my daughters 2007 Yaris which she got for college and had no power accessories at all.
Everything works EXCEPT the locking portion.
Using the FOB it will Unlock if starting in a locked position, but the control box doesnt even make a noise like its trying to function when you hit the Lock button on the FOB, also the red led doesnt ever light or the valet buttone seem to function. It does unlock, and the panic button as well as teh Lock button work for Panic mode if you hold them down for 5 - 10 secs. I currently have it set up as the directions told me but at this point it could be the control box, maybe the tie in of the 2 ground wires, etc etc. I installed the Avital 2101L with the smaller (blue/green) control box that connects to the wires that go to the actuators. All of the tutorials on here have been great but I cant find anything showing the wiring connections of the 2101L "brain" and the smaller control box. Maybe the "Brain" needs resetting to factory but with out the Valet button working I cant reset any of the settings at all. I have tried both FOBs and they work for the Panic alarm and the unlocking. I also hae it wired for teh horn alarm, the flashing marker lights, etc and all of that works also.
Thanks for any help you can offer and please ask away on teh questions of anything I may have missed.

The control box not making a sound when you try to lock it and the valet switch not working really sounds like there is an issue with the control box.

Yeah, thats kinda what Im thinking also. I cnat seem to find any information on the about ordering JUST that part. I may just have to ordrer a replacement set as cheaply as I can from EBay or Amazon and see.

Thanks for the reply.

what happen if i got oem keyless do i need a bypass to get an alarm..

[jamal1984]

i just got this done yesterday thanks to all of y'all. Everything works great, except my flashing light is not working, but i can live with that.

This may be useful to you if you are doing an install of a full alarm system or remote start.

Thank you so much DanQ & CTScott,

Today I installed a Viper 211HV keyless system on my Yaris Now 2011, and it works perfectly!!

Thanks DanQ!
I just finished installing my Viper model 211HV and your instructions are PERFECT and 100% valid and correct.
After wiring it up initially, the lights worked fine and the dash light flashed correctly, BUT the darn unlock/lock was'nt working even though I heard the relays cycling in the Viper's brain box! Problem was that there are TWO green/black wires in the harness. One is light green/black and thin, the other is green/black and fatter guage wire. I spliced in the thinner one, WRONG! You must use the FAT green/black wire. I also grounded the black and purple wires under one of the bolts that holds that black metal bar across the metal dash frame. Its a good ground and I did'nt want to fool with the factory bolt behind the kick plate.
I mounted the LED next to the power mirror adjustment controls. It's very bright and DOES look like a real alarm armed light even though there's no alarm in my car. I used one zip tie through one of the Viper's brain box's corner mounting holes and zip tied it to a cutout in the bottom right of the opening that's revealed when you drop down the plastic access hatch.
First thing I did after installing and testing for proper function was disable the self locking feature that locks the doors when the engine is turned on. I don't want to risk getting locked out of my car while it's warming up on a winter morning and I'm outside scraping the snow off the windshield...
An excellent project if you have the power pkg but RKE was'nt available as a factory feature.
A word of warning; if your not electronics savy you may want to leave this to a pro....

BTW, $48 shipped from Amazon.....

hi has any one done DIY for Yaris 2002?

[TickleTimeTim]

just a few questions. and sorry for thread revival yet again..

does this work on base model without purchasing actuators?
how is everyone switching the pulse from one click to two clicks?
i plan to get the Viper model 211HV, like stated above, however, several different bundles are listed on ebay, any suggestions on which is best to buy?

thank you
