    My keyless entry was dealer installed not factory. Any way to know if this kit will still work? Thanks

    Katie,

    That would be great. I know this crew and there will be millions of ?'s. I guessing this will be the same layout, just for Gen2, will it be the same price? that will get me started and I can have them look at this thread for more info. About how many would you need to make it worth your time?

    Thanks,

    Bill

    How far out are we looking for the new bracket? I sent payment (because I haven't installed my recently delivered lock), but if it's gonna be a while, I may request a refund and just install the old way...

    I bought the full kit.

    1) When will the bracket & rod ship out?
    * Disregard, just saw your newer post:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-rod-by-ktjo-4x4.592685/page-66#post-20401680


    2) Does bracket make the actuator sit
    on even level? So no bending needed.

    3) Will i be able to use the rubber spacer to minimize noise?
    I bought it last week... Damn!

    I can answer #2 the bracket makes the actuator and rod level with the lock cylinder. This way there are no bends need in the rod .

    Q2) Does bracket make the actuator sit on even level? So no bending needed.
    A2) From what I've seen in the photos, the bracket does make the actuator sit more even with the lever that it's moving and it includes a rod that is already bent into the proper positions. Since the bracket is constantly known anchor point, they can do this. On the previous version, you had to bend the rod based on where you actually anchored the actuator.


    Q3) Will i be able to use the rubber spacer to minimize noise? I bought it last week... Damn!
    A2) I don't have an effective answer for you. But for me personally, I want the noise so that I can hear it from the driver's door to be able to know that it locked.

    It is level and I’m not sure how you would use the rubber spacer and I did the same. I didn’t get them last week but I’ve had them for a little while just because I wanted to see what all the talk was about. Good think they aren’t expensive;)

    Opening the tailgate makes more noise than the actuator. I think unlocking with the key is noisier.
