Want to fit remote locking system!

Hey all, i would like to fit a remote locking system in my Supra. It already has the stock central locking system installed, but as u all know, one has to insert the key in the keywhole and turn, to unlock/lock!

 

The locksystem works fine, but as many of u might agree with, its just to oldfashion, and i therefore wish to get a system where i can lock/unlock via remote - maybe with and alarmsystem along with it!

 

So how do i do this the best and easiest? Is there some box with a pair of remotes i can buy, and fit near the vacuumpump, and thereby making the stock remotecontrolled? Or is there some other system u guys would recommend?

As i said, wouldnt mind something with an alarm in it!

 

Hoping for alot of good answers and links to shops hehe :)

 

Thx alot guys and girls;)

I thought that all Supras came with remote locking. You probably do not have the fob. I don't know if there is a way of getting a replacement fob from Toyota but no harm in trying. Mine has since been wired up to my alarm system and that has bypassed the original but it also still works if I need to use it.

You could probably buy a cheapy ebay alarm, and just have that on the central locking, it isn't a difficult thing to do.

 

HOWEVER if you are going to the effort of fitting something like that, you might as well put a decent alarm system in the vehicle anyway, such as a Clifford unit. Noticed you are in Denmark, perhaps it might be an idea to see what is recommended over there.

Is this true? I didn't think my Supra had CL, but as you say it might be because I don't have the fob! If anyone can confirm that all Supras have CL that would be good :)

Mine came with about four keys one of which had a plastic casing with a grey and a green button to operate the remote central locking, one was a spare and IIRC the others were valet keys.

I've done a search and it seems that it may have been an option. Anyone know how to find out? I've read that there is a CL control box under the drivers seat. So if mine had CL then I can only assume the box should be there?

Talked to the "Toy" dealership today, and i he confirmed that u can get like a kit, that comes with a couple of remotes and a controlbox, that u connect!

But what im not sure of. is wheather the Supra is like other Japanese from this period of time, meaning that they might not have a

central locking motor in both doors!? And therefore it might need a little extra slave motor in the drivers door, as its this door that will only have a little switch!

 

Regarding the alarm part! The Clifford looks real nice, so does Magicar and Viper alarm aswell! The big thing in Denmark at present time is the Viper alarm system, as its said to be very reliable!

However, ordered the "kit" from the dealer, should be here tomorrow or the day after/wednesday at the latest) - When i get it installed, ill ofcourse post here!

 

But regarding what i wrote above, with the switch vs. slave engine, can anyone of u guys, who do NOT have remote controlled central Lock.sys, but just the stock where u insert the key, remember if u can lock/unlock both dors from the passenger side?

My Supra is disasembled for the winter, so cant tjeck!

Caus if it doesnt lock/unlock from the passengerside, only from the drivers side, it shows that there is only a switch in the driversside door!

Yes you can lock both doors from the passenger side, there's also a switch on the dashboard near the drivers door that enable you to lock both doors.

 

I thought you would've had an alarm fitted so you can press the button on the key fob that will arm the alarm and lock the doors simultaneously.

Check under the drivers seat in your car - if there's a black box there that's a remote central locking control, AFAIK. There'll be a coaxial connector that leads out of it, which is the aerial for the remote.

 

You should (i.e. I intend to, but haven't yet) be able to order a remote from somewhere like http://www.keylessride.com ... $44, but that isn't so good since the recent forex changes :(

Yea i have the connector box u are talking about, it was under the drivers seat, and i tjecked now, cause i remembered removing a box like that, when taking the car apart!

And as u describe, it has an aerial exit and a 12 legged commentor slot!

Only problem is, i havent got a clue how the original remote lokked like(regarding the http://www.keylessride.com), and how would they be able to match the programming of the remote with my car - cause they do not ask for anything other than year and make/model, and im thinking all remotes should be individually programmed!?

You should be able to program the car for the remote key - something along the lines of turning the ignition on 3 times, open the car door and close it a few times, then press they keys (judging by other programming instructions).

 

Actually: check out the programming instructions for other Toyota models here http://www.automotivehelper.com/topic172063.htm

Hey, i got the remote from http://www.keylessride.com, along with the programming instructions, called activation procedure #645!

However, i cant seem to match the instructions(and the receiver they suggest/think is installed in the Supra - the one under the drivers seath) with the one installed in my mkiv.

Theres a black/white "handdrawn" picture of the receivers box one the paper with the instructions, however, as stated above, it looks nothing like the one found under the drivers seat in my mkiv, as the one they are showing and refering to, has 3 connector slots, no aerial exit and a little programming switch/button on the side of the box(its like a little whole where u press and hold with like a pencil or similar object!) IM really sorry, i would have scanned the instructions, but for some reason, my canon is acting up.

 

Now, the receiver box, udner the drivers seat in my mkiv has only one connecters slot besides the aerial entry/exit(the antenna one), other than that, it has absolutely no entryes/connectors.

 

Therefore im thinking the problem could be, well alot of thing, but mainly 3 scenarios comes to mind:

 

1. That they are refering to another box, than the one under the drivers seat. Could it maybe be the keyless entry ECU they are talking about?

 

2. The instructions are for the Supras equipped with the RS3000 dealer or port installed option (PIO), not the factory security system(whatever that means!?)

 

3. As my Supra is a 93 Jap spec. and i ordered the key to one such on keylessride, however u do not type in specific model, could it be ive gotten the instructions for the earlier model from 93(not mkiv)! from Im sorta hoping this is the case!

 

I know that my questions might not be the easiest the answer, as u guys cant the the instruction, the drawing of the receiver box and all, but im hoping, that maybe someone else has had a similar experience, when trying to get new remotes for the entry system.

 

As soon as im able to get the Activation procedure scanned, ill post them here so they can be of use for others - But for now, ill just write the 6 steps, maybe someone will know if its actually the right procedure for the mkiv or not, so here goes

 

Avtivation Procedure #645 Toyota Supra

 

1. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position(as far as you can go without cranking the engine)

2. Using a pen or pencil, press and hold the receiver PROGRAMMING BUTTON for 3 seconds. The STATUS MONITOR LED or vehicle exterior (tail and marker) lights will light up solid for 5 seconds.

3. Press and release the transmitters TOP or BOTTOM button for one second and release(This should be performed within the 5 seconds that the STATUS MONITOR LED or exterior lights is lit solid)

4. The STATUS MONITOR LED turns off, the vehicle chirs once and/or the exterior lights flash once to confirm succesful programming.

5. Turn OFF the ignition and remove the key

6. Exit the vehicle and test remotes(s) for function

7. To program additional NEW remotes, repeat procedure.

 

Yep, thats is, thx in advance all, really hoping someone knows alot more than me about this, and is willing share his or hers knowledge :0)
