2005 Tundra, Clifford RSX 3.5

I've got a 2005 Tundra Double Cab and just about ready to install a Clifford RSX 3.5 alarm. The Tundra has no factory alarm but comes with keyless remote. My question: Do I need to use the Clifford relay interface that comes in the box with the alarm? I've got 3 alarm installs under my belt, but in every case I had to install both the relays and door actuators. It was straight foward on those installs. I've never done one with factory keyless entry and I would assume that it comes with relays already installed and used by the factory keyless entry. Meaning there's no need to use the clifford relay interface??? I browsed this forum but couldn't come to a conclusion if the Clifford relay interface is to be installed to make the doorlocks work with the alarm. I found the wiring diagram and the diodes to be used within this forum, that's no problem at all. thanks in advance

thank you for the quick reply, but my question is still unanswered do I need to use the "Cifford relay interface assembly" that came with the alarm? I've got that diagram from this forum and appreciate it. But in the pic, is that the factory relay or should I add that relay(use the Clifford relay interface unit)with the alarm install.

That is the factory relay. anytime you are connecting doorlocks before the factory relay, you do not need a relay, (unless you need it to change the polarity of your wire). Since your accessing the wire before the factory relay, the relay your alarm included will not be needed.

Velocity Motors, after further review of that diagram, under the title it states, Toyota vehicles require door interface to be installed in driver/passenger door.require Thank you!

specialblendj, Thank you, i'll install without the included relay interface. ahhh, makes it that much easier.

In this case you need an outboard relay ( SPDT 30/40 amp ) for this diagram to work. If your alarm system has alternating polarity relays built in you have to set it up to trigger (-) and add a relay.

geez, I guess I'll just spend alittle more time on this,\ install an outboard relay(SPDT)per diagram and go from there. Whatever happens, happens.

the module he is referring to is the 451M which comes w/all Matrix product and yes you should use it for no other than to protect the internal doorlock outputs in the brain....Kevin Gerry

yes use that 451M, itll save some space inside that door panel. i remember Draasch(member here) did an 04 double cab tundra and he had trouble w/ the unock not having enough amperage to power the unlock. the fine print on directFAX #1070 will state something like it w/ the solution.Houston,TX
