2nd Gen Tacoma "Secrets"?

Not that I know of, but you can put the key in the key lock, turn twice and it will unlock all doors.

 

At least in my 2015 the rests have a lever on them so they rotate down 90 degrees and don't block the window when no one is sitting there. Might be a 2012+ only feature.

 

I've noticed that the doors will not unlock from the inside without weight (a person) being on one of the seats.
Locked my keys inside one day and tried to push the unlock button through a partially open window, no luck. I rigged up a hook on a broom handle, shoved it through the driver's side window to pull the passenger side door latch.

 

Huh. I did that mod before I put my stereo in, and I disconnected the battery several times, each time I had to reset the chime so I just disconnected the speaker. Maybe it resets after a certain amount of time? I had my battery disconnected for a couple hours while working.

 

Hmmm... That's a good feature, but I hadn't noticed that. I'll have to check that out on my 2015.

Thanks. That's too bad you can't program that.

I had wondered if that was the reason for the levers.

 

How the hell did you lock your keys inside? The doors should not stay locked if you try to lock them while they are open. So the only way to lock them in should be to lock it and then drop them back in through the window.

Buckle your seatbelt and the chime instantly stops. Go figure.

I regularly, well, often at least, lock my doors by hitting the power-lock button with the door open as I'm getting out, then closing the door. They don't unlock themselves when I do that. Mine is a 2015 DCLB.

 

I have a telescoping steering wheel??? How do you activate that sucker? All I can get mine to do it tilt!

 

Pull

 

Well I'll be damned. A whole 1.5" of travel! Thanks dudes
