How do you determine if Tacoma came with keyless entry

I have an 06 that I bought about a month ago. I suspect it came with keyless entry but how do I determine for sure?

 

Open up the glove box, and on each side there are plastic pins. Push away the trim and the glove box will drop down all the way.

Where the glove box latches, there's a 10mm bolt. Remove it, and the black plastic cover will remove (there are a few tabs holding it in)

Now you need to look for this

That's the keyfob wireless receiver that controls the doors. If you have that, you can program a keyfob.

I went through this ordeal on my 09, trying to figure a way to get keyless entry. Turns out my truck didn't have this receiver. I bought a used one on eBay and plugged it into the harness behind the glove box, and was able to program the keyfob first try.

Edit: another way to determine if you have this receiver is to follow the Tacoma keyfob instructions. YouTube search for the directions. If your doors lock and unlock at the end, you're all set for a fob.

 

Or if you want you can have a dealer run the VIN and it will tell you what the truck came with from the factory.

Here is the procedure to program a FOB:

Trying to find this for my 2014... Do you happen to know the item number for this?

 

89741-04010
a.k.a Tacoma door control receiver

 

Perfect; thank you. I literally was finding it as I saw this come up. Seems like the same one for the 09' works for the '14. Fair to assume this was a fairly plug-n-play upgrade? As in, no additional wiring needed? My 2014 Pre-Runner is as basic as they come...

 

Should be! As long as you have power locks. I'd also check to see if you have the harness for it. Should be hanging there ready for the receiver.

 

You rock; thanks mate. Did you pay around $100 for it as well? Seems like $120-$150 is the normal price, even for an used one. Go figure...

 

No problem. I got lucky and paid around $50 for it on eBay. They seem to have gone way up in price. I bet you can find one in a salvage yard though. That was my original plan.

 

Yeah... they seem to be averaging far too much. I see 2 guys selling it on ebay for 175 and 195, which is crazy considering I can get a remote start system with keyless for half of that.

I found this:
https://www.wardrobeline.top/0515-toyota-tacoma-receiver-door-control-oem-8974104010-p-11156.html

But not sure if this website is sketchy or if I am just too paranoid, haha.

 

Then, there's this guy too, but not sure about it because he seems to have used the wrong part number (and doesn't mention 2014). https://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-2006-...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

That website looks sketchy as hell haha. I looked at the About Us and seems strange they're selling auto parts . That last ebay link looks good though.

All the other ones I've seen say 05-15 and that is the same module. Not sure what's up with that part number.

 

Right? Can't tell if it is a fashion website or a car one. Staying away, just in case...

As for the other one, I sent the guy a message asking if it was model "89741-04010" and he said it wasn't; go figure. From the picture, it looks exactly like what I am looking for...

Do you recall if there was a sticker on the other side of yours showing "211870-101"? Seems like people use that number to describe it as well...

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/TACOMA-200...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

Just bought this one. Seems like 211870-101 and 89741-04010 might be the same thing, but we shall find out sooner than later, haha.

 

Been meaning to ask you... after installing the module and configuring the fob; does this setup “beep” when you lock the doors with the key fob?

Thanks for all the help, mate!

 

My old 06 had it.

 

Know this is an OLD thread BUT gonna ask a pertinent question anyways lol
Can U program a FOB with a Valet key...Tried the steps for my 09 Taco but door locks never entered the program mode ie lock then unlock
Guess going to have to haul out the Glove Locker to see for sure.

ANSWER is NOPE lol

 

Yes you can, just did it.

I finally took out the glove box and found the receiver so I bought a cheap chinese fob off Amazon.

The only key the salesman gave me was a valet key and it worked just fine.

 

THANK YOU! I took out the glove box thinking the pigtail should have been back there and I was not able to find it. Thanks to your post I was able to remove the piece I should have taken off and there was the pigtail! I ordered the Door Receiver Module off of eBay....was definitely not $50, but I think it will be well worth it.

 

Why get a dealer involved if you don’t have to?
