Hello everyone,

I am looking to find some help in regards to installing a Keyless entry/Remote starter on a Canadian model 2001 Toyota RAV4.

On this great site I found the wiring diagrams https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=3438&KW

What I'd like to know is if anyone figured out how to retain the stock keyless entry's "Priority Unlock". What that means is that on the stock unit, 1 pulse on the button unlocks just the drivers door, and two pulses unlocks both doors. This seemed to be the main obsticle facing the poster of the above thread, but they never replied iwth having gotten it figured out or not!

I would also like to know if anyone has done this before, and how hard/easy it is? I have installed many steroes, etc - but have never done a remote starter - Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jared

Thanks for your reply desh187

I found another great bit of information here: https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=1172&KW=RAV4

Now, it says that the blue/orange(-) unlock is also in the driver kick panel, yet you've mentioned its in the pass junciton box - Have you looked for these wires in the driver kick panel?

desh187: Could you be so kind as to list in as much detail as you can, the install process? Anything I should look out for, etc... Have you installed a remote starter as well, or just the remote entry?

Thanks again,

Jared

Wow, prompt reply - Thanks! Keyless Entry/Remote Start on 2001 RAV4 -- posted image.

For the Ignition Harness, is that in the engine bay, or in the steering column? Have you used the Haynes for the 2001 RAV4, does it help at all with locations/wiring diagrams?

the ignition harness is at the steering column and i have installed an auto start/alarm on this model and the wiring schematics is correct and installation gets easier when you have the location.

umm....the haynes manuals kinda suck if your working fast, a remote start diagram works wonders.... if anybody has tried to hook up an alarm or remote start with a hanyes manual, you know what i'm saying....takes forever...
