Pop and Lock install video on my 2017 Tacoma

Hello taco lovers!!!

I am new to tacomaworld and a new Tacoma owner too.

I love my 2017 Tacoma but didn't love the fact that I had to use my key to lock and unlock my tailgate with a key . It was a pain in the neck since I have a tonneau cover.

I found a video on a 16 Tacoma but I wanted to see how to do it by going under the seat instead of going through the firewall and couldn't find one.

So I decided to make one.

So here it is guys. This is my 1st video using a go pro and I made it to help other Tacoma owners who might need something visual. I am not a pro at this stuff (both mods and videos) so it may not be perfect I hope it helps anyone interested in adding this future which is awesome!

I made a few more taco videos.

Thanks
Big O

 

Thanks for the video!

 

Hmmmm, never knew I wanted this feature until I watched your video. Thanks.

 

Good job dude! The videos do help and are much appreciated by everyone! I am going to install mine today.

 

Good first post. Nice job, now you need to clean out your garage so you can park your Truck inside.

 

Scotch tape! For shame!

 

Heck of a first post, and welcome!

*great video, might be a tad long for some of the people here, but a great addition to the site either way.

 

Very nice I plan to do this later this summer, appreciate the write-up!

 

good work man!

 

You should repost in this thread as well: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/power-tailgate-lock.393110/

 

Great "how to" sir. Makes me feel more confident doing the electrical part. Very detailed!!!

 

Old thread but wanted to thank BigO for the thread.
Got my 2018 and installed tonneau cover. I’ll be doing this mod soon.

 

Thank you! What exact model lock did you have?

 

The packaging says it's for a tundra, but it's the same part number for a tacoma. Easy install and well worth it. We shouldve had this from toyota though

 

Awesome video, mine just arrived in the mail. Is the wiring the same for a 2016 taco?

 

SHOULD BE THE SAME. VERY EASY INSTALL..
