Hello And Keyless Entry

[tacroy]

Hello, just found this place seems pretty neat.

I have a 2001 Celica everything pretty standard that im looking around for some information on body mods, etc. My wife said that I need to fix everything wrong with the car first ;p So going down my grocery list one of the things that i have no idea how to do is get the keyless entry working. I was told by the dealer that it had it, but they didnt have the remote, i found you can buy them on eBay but without the instructions. Where can i get the instructions? Will i dealer tell me? or Charge me to do it? Is there a for sure way I can tell my celica has Keyless Entry and the salesman wasnt messing me? Thanks! I look forward to learning alot from you guys.

Hello mate and welcome to TOC :group-cuddles:

i'm pretty sure most celicas had remote locking built into the alarm system .but when the keyfob dies it needs reprogramming by toyota at a cost , so some people have a separate alarm fitted to avoid this crap in the future.i'd say he was pulling ur chains , but then who knows ????

here is the eBay auction, there are a bunch like it

and here's an auction for the instructions, but I figure SOMEONE has to know

they appear legit, but I dont want to buy it if there isnt a way to program it to work.
