How do I make my 2nd gen beep when I lock it with the key fob?

Hey guys, I search and searched this site for a thread but couldn’t find one. I want to see if you guys found a way to make the 2nd gen (08 is mine) beep when you lock and unlock it with the key fob.

 

My 2011 does perhaps the 08 didn't have that feature.

 

My 2010 does as well. I’m guessing there is a way to turn the feature on and off, but I don’t know how to do it.

 

Did you make sure your beeper was plugged in? Maybe previous owner unplugged it. There's also this but I don't know it it works or not.

 

This works for my 2015 4-cyl, with factory keyless.

 

Now if I could only get the "unlock" beeps to turn off but leave the "lock" beep active. LOL, I don't think there's such a thing. I don't really need to hear beeps when approaching the truck, but it would be nice to hear a beep when pressing the button as I walk away for confirmation. I also like the beep in parking lots to let others who may be up to no good know that my truck is locked.

 

Google-fu is weak in this one...

LOL... searching for a way to set up the keyless entry was what brought me here in the first place.

 

My switch to kill the "beep" in case of needing the four-ways is different now but I'm still running this mod.

 

08 model year does not have that feature. If you want it you'll have to add a Piezo buzzer under the hood. I did that mod many years ago. Here's a link to the write up I used, but the pics are gone. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-cheap-beep-on-lock.35238/

 

I just disabled my beeps and it's actually pretty nice. It's so annoying with all the beeps to get in the truck. I have a family of 5 so I often have to double hit the button to unlock all the doors which gives off 4 beeps. Now it's quiet.
