Hi Everyone! Welcome to the Tailgate Lock & Tailgate Opener information and ordering thread. I originally was one of those that spliced into my factory wiring, but I found a new love for Plug-N-Play Harnesses. They just make your life so much easier when it comes to cleaning up your wiring. It not only makes for a professional installation, it is extremely easy to connect and disconnect whenever necessary.

TAILGATE LOCK BY KTJO 4x4



https://youtu.be/NMUbXIPpyO8
PURPOSE:

The purpose of this Kit is to add remote lock and unlock functionality to the Tacoma Tailgate. This is accomplished by adding an actuator inside the tailgate and using the provided harness to plug into the factory wiring through the passenger door.

PRODUCT DETAIL:

There is no need to Splice/Tap into your Trucks OEM Wire Harness. This New Harness is made with all brand new material including OEM Connectors, Terminals, and Wiring to go with your Trucks Wire Harness located on the 3rd Gen Tacoma on the Passenger Side in the Kick Panel Area. The purpose of this harness is to allow you to Lock/Unlock your Tailgate with your Key Fob. You are still able to use your key in your tailgate, but this alleviates the need for your key and makes it more convenient for your use.

REQUIREMENTS:

Due to our Bolt-N-Lock Bracket & Rod, you no longer are required to drill 3 small holes to mount the actuator in the Tailgate. This New BNL Bracket & Rod Bolts on directly to the OEM Backup Camera.



Due to our Plug-N-Play Wiring Harness, you no longer are required to tap into your Lock and Unlock factory Wires. This Kit & Wiring is 100% Plug-N-Play.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this Kit is to add a powered opener that can be electronically lowered from your Key Fob, the Tacoma Interior or on the Tacoma Tailgate itself. This is accomplished by adding a second actuator inside the tailgate and using the provided harness to plug into the factory wiring through the passenger door.

PRODUCT DETAIL:

There is no need to Splice/Tap into your Trucks OEM Wire Harness. This New Harness is made with all brand new material including OEM Connectors, Terminals, and Wiring to go with your Trucks Wire Harness located on the 3rd Gen Tacoma on the Passenger Side in the Kick Panel Area. The purpose of this harness is to allow you to Open your Tailgate with your Key Fob, from the Tacoma Interior, or on the Tailgate itself. You are still able to use your handle to open your tailgate, but this alleviates the need for your handle and makes it more convenient for your use.

REQUIREMENTS:

Due to our second Bolt-N-Open Bracket & Rod, you are not required to drill any holes to mount the actuator in the Tailgate. This New BNL Bracket & Rod anchors on directly to the Passenger Side OEM Bolts.



Due to our Plug-N-Play Wiring Harness, you no longer are required to tap into your Lock and Unlock factory Wires. This Kit & Wiring is 100% Plug-N-Play.



Due to @DSIM Tailgate Opener Module V2, you will be able to press your Key Fob 3 times for the unlock signal to the tailgate and it will open like magic!





It will also have the optional push button harness, that will allow you to open via a push button switch!





In order for these features, you are required to purchase his module and harnesses from his site. You can find more information on his thread located HERE

Getting tired of having to manually drop your tailgate with the handle? Look no further...this module plugs into OEM wiring and with 3 pushes of the unlock signal, the tailgate will open like magic! With the Optional Push Button "B-Harness", it will allow you to open via a Push Button Switch! Because who needs handles anyway?

This module is a part of this Plug-N-Play Kit and it is offered by another member of this TacomaWorld forum @DSIM. You need this Kit and this Module offered in the link below. The Kit below provides all the Plug-N-Play Wiring for the Actuators and Mounting Brackets for the Actuators that will live inside the Tailgate. There is NO DRILLING REQUIRED. Please take a look at this Module before you order. You can view this Module HERE

DSIM TailGate Opener Module = Brains of the 3-Click Mod

KTJO 4x4 TacomaWorld Kit = Hardware and OEM Plug-N-Play Wiring.

This Module is built on a Custom PCB / Arduino Nano platform. The enclosure is 3D printed and there are two connectors/wire harnesses that serve two purposes:

A-Harness (3x Unlock Functionality):

Included with the Module connects into your OEM wiring and provides Power, Ground, Unlock, and Actuator signals. It hooks directly into the OEM T-Harness (Sold Separately by @KTJO 4x4) for full Plug-N-Play installation.







B-Harness <Optional> (Push Button Functionality and Interlocks):

The optional B-Harness will be available in a few weeks and sold separately. With the added B-Harness there are four wires (Push Button In, Push Button Out, Park Signal, and IGN Signal.) With this harness installed it allows for a Push Button to be used that is fully interlocked to prevent unwanted openings of the Tailgate while driving. The interlocks are as follows and when installed are applicable to both the 3x Unlock and Push Button openings:

• If Ignition is ON and Park is ON, then allow to open.
• If Ignition is ON and Park is OFF, then DO NOT OPEN.
• If ignition is OFF, then allow to open.

I'll vouch for the quality of this kit, I got one from her a couple months ago and it's been working flawlessly. Not having to splice into my factory wiring was the main motivation for me to do this and I am glad I did!

 

Can I be added to the list? Thank you

 

Sent PM.

THANKS MAN! I really appreciate your kind words. Glad you are enjoying the New mod. I tell you it’s definitely convenient to be able to use your key fob and not have to ship out that key anymore to lock and unlock that tailgate. Also, just knowing the extra security you have now from those tailgate thieves out there. Thanks again buddy

 

I’ve got you done. Sent you a PM

 

Pm sent.

 

This is exactly what I have been looking for (and considering doing myself)! Could you please add me to the list as well?

 

I’ve not looked into these setup. Is this all the parts we need and included in this? (see pic)
I thought Pop-n-Lock a separate device is needed and this is just for wires? Sorry just have no idea how this works.

 

I’ve added you to the list and PM’d

 

Done!

 

Yes. This is everything you need for this to work. All you have to do is install it!

 

Please add me to the list as well!
