keyless entry

[David]

Hi guys, I'm new here. I just bought a '99 SE V6 with a five speed, and so far I love it. However, the car came with only one key and no keyless entry transmitter and I don't have an owner's manual for it either. It seems to have all the options (leather, sunroof, spoiler, cd, wood trim) so I was wondering if it actually does have a keyless entry system and I am just lacking the transmitter. I have found transmitters on eBay and I assume I could get one at a dealer. So my question is, how can I find out if my car is equipped with keyless entry without wasting money by taking it to a dealer or taking a wild guess with something off of eBay? Thanks--David

It all depends if your car was packaged from the factory with keyless entry. There's several ways you can check.

1) Do you have a SECURITY LED on your tach along with the immobilizer key (fatter black key than the regular...consult owners manual)?
2) Do you have a TOYOTA security LED at the center console next to the auxiliary DC plug in?

If not, you don't have the factory keyless.

i was...but i got it for a really good price, and i'm sure here and there people have abused it...but they took really good care of it and showed me all the maintenence records.

haven't had any problems AT ALL. except when i got the car some of the panels were all scratched up... they didn't even replace it


bastards!
