Aftermarket remote central locking

[JayJ]

I tried to order a remote key fob from Toyota two days ago and yesterday they confirmed that the production has ended and the fob isn't available anymore. So, have anyone installed an aftermarket remote system? Will I need a door motor or will aftermarket unit and fobs be enough to get it working?

I have remote system it's a feature with my alarm, wires to the door lock switch on driver's door.

[JayJ]

Cheers, some systems are available very cheap, so maybe I'll give a try to one of them.

Yes, ordered one on monday and yesterday I asked if it was already arrived and they told that it's not and won't be as it's discontinued now.

Did that kit include everything you needed?

I've had Toad before which performed really good! On my GT i now have an autowatch remote immobilizer and that includes remote locking that too is really good!

The toad kit has everything. Basic tools such as a soldering iron and wire strippers are needed.

Happy days! Just got a call from Toyota that my fob has arrived!

I can't get the fob work

Could someone confirm, if this is the unit and how this thing is disassembled?

What procedure are you using to pair up the fob? And does you interior light work? Mine didn't because the fuse was removed in the bay so I couldn't pair mine.

Once I put in a fuse I was able to do it straight away

[JayJ]

Interior light works and both locks open with the key from the driver's door.

Tried this:

Unlock the car. Climb in and close the door.
Insert the key into the ignition barrel, turn the ignition ON-OFF 3 times
Pull the key out of the barrel then press the button on the new fob.
Locks should now cycle on, off.
Insert key back into the ignition, and then again turn the ignition ON-OFF 3 times.
Pull the key out of the barrel and then, again press the button on the new fob.
Locks should now cycle on, off.
The fob is now programmed to the car, just double check by pressing the button on the fob a couple of times, the locks should god up and down.

Aye that's the same way as I did it. Make sure your pointing the fob at the receiver and your pretty close to it.

Have you a picture of the fob?

[JayJ]

Red light flashes if I press the button

[JayJ]

There were two different issues with it, but now it's working finally! First the receiver was unplugged, so obviously it couldn't work, but after plugging in it still didn't work.

Then I unplugged my turbo timer, tried again and this time everything went as it should! So for some odd reason the turbo timer, even it was turned off, blocked the car from going to programming mode.

Next step is to get the fob working when the turbo timer is active.
