04 DC Keyless entry-to-Alarm upgrade

KCinHB · #1 (**permalink**) 03-01-2007, 05:08 PM

Hi guys, I've been looking thru all the posts on the keyless entry to alarm upgrade and have come to a conclusion... I'm confused!!! There is so much good info out there but I keep hitting the same end... "The 04 Double Cab uses a diff alarm system "

So, my question is... Is it possible to upgrade the 04 DC keyless entry to full alarm? If so, what parts are needed and what documentation do I refer to?

Thanks so much to all those who contribute to this forum, and thanks to anyone who can maybe set me straight on this issue.

There is not a factory upgrade path, but either SET or GST Distributor areas have a Securikey based upgrade kit. There is always the aftermarket route.

I believe SET and GST refer to the Southeastern and Gulf States Toyota dealership regions. Last time I checked (at least a year ago), it involved some pretty extensive computer and wiring harness changes. The main components needed for the alarm system are not present in the keyless-entry-only system. If cost is an issue, as it is for most people, you'd do much better with an aftermarket system. The dealer might have a more reasonable option now. That's the first I've heard of the Securikey kit. Post back here if you find anything. Thanks!

It was a Gulf States product I was referring to, see http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...keyless-entry/

FYI
GST is Gulf States Toyota and SET is Southeast Toyota, these are the 2 private Toyota Distributors in the US. They often offer accessories that are not available in other areas of the US
