newbie here. bought a 2004 rav4 l edition and suprisingly it doesnt hv keyless entry nor transponder keys..... so iresearched on the internet and viper seems to be the fav model...so i bought the viper 211 HV model, and i need help in installing it.....has anyone specifically done a similar installation on the rav4?. thanks

Try this...

thank you 4 the prompt reply. am a noob on car electical diy.....more at home on mechanical diys....so on a scale of 1 to 10...what would you rate this installation...and how many hours estimate for the job?

This install isn't as complex as doing a remote start or alarm install.  However, to do it properly you will

need a Digital Multi Meter, soldering gun ( and soldering supplies ) and basic automotive hand tools.There will be some vehicle disassembly for wire access.   You will need to use the DMM to verify thewires prior to 211HV connection and for years of reliable and trouble-free operation all connectionsshould be soldered, well insulated ( Scotch Super 33+ tape ) and neatly run.  Due to the soldering andDMM testing skills required, figure a difficulty rating of 7 on a scale of 10.  Research and planning will beyour best friends.  The wire connection chart posted above will be your basic guide.  Your researchwill be finding the correct way to use the DMM in a 12V DC application to locate, test and verify both(+) and (-) type signal wires in your vehicle.  While the wire guide above is nice, here are the actualsources of that info :

You will find that there are many of the same color wires in the harnesses under the dash, so testing is

crucial.  While they are newer Gen's, there are Pictorials on the 2011 and 2013 RAV4's in the Pictorial section.They will give you a basic idea of disassembly and wire appearance and location.  Even more assistancecan be found with the Fortin WireColor service.  They will have detailed info with pictures or your 2004RAV4 for a $5 fee (  http://wirecolor.com/en/ ).

For a novice, wanting to spend the time to learn and do it right, figure about 2 hours on research and unit

prep, then about 3 hours to install.  That 3 hours includes disassembly, wire locating & verification, module placement, wire routing, wire "cut to length" and soldering, testing, wire & harness securing and re-assembly.

Done right, you will get many years of reliable service and learn a good deal of useful info can be valuable in future projects.

Good luck with your install.

thanks for the tips...i was aable to install the viper keyless entry .everything works as stated, but the ignition controlled door lock/unlock doesnt work....pls help me solve this challenge.

Assuming the 211HV programming for Features 1 - 3 are still set at their Default setting, double check your connection from the 211HV Yellow wire @ H1/15 to the RAV4's Black Ignition 1 wire at the ignition switch harness.Soldering is fun!

yes thanks!.....that was the problem...hooked it up and my viper keyless works flawlessly now!!!....thanks 4 ur help........would hv probablly paid some1 a tidy sum to do the install without ur surpport. my wife thinks am a genuis now.....lol, she doesnt know i stood on shoulders of giants 2 achieve the feat next ops is installing my projector angel eyes with hid on my 4runner

I observed something aagain, pressing the unlock button opens the drivers door, pressing it twice shud open all the other doors...but this isn't so. it takes careful pressing & timing to get the other doors to unlock am missing something again?

I THink its either programming issue or the 2nd unlock cable .. wht do u think? H1/2 BLUE (-) 200 mA Second Unlock Output The H1/2 BLUE output is used for progressive unlock. A progressive unlock system unlocks the driver's door when the unlock (disarm) button is pressed and unlocks the passenger doors if the unlock (disarm) button is pressed again within 15 seconds after unlocking the driver's door. The BLUE wire outputs a low current (-) pulse on the second press of the unlock button of the transmitter. This negative unlock output is used to unlock the passenger doors.

While the VIper unit allows the button to be pressed again within 15 seconds to allow for the 2nd unlock, the car itself wants to see that 2nd output within 3-5 seconds, or more like 3 seconds... You can test the timing by turning the key to unlock on the drivers door cylinder twice. Do it quickly, then do it with 3 seconds, 5, 10...etc you will see that the key will only unlock the other doors as well if you turn the key quickly. Your Viper is hooked up to the Drivers key cylinder wire, so with the Viper you get the same result as the key cylinder. My Mom has a Rav4 of that Generation and I just set the unit to "double pulse" unlock after she complain to me about 100 times...LOL, I was tired of hearing her. Sooo, when she hits unlock now, the drivers door unlocks and a split second later the rest of the doors open. All with one press of the button. Much , Much better than hearing her complain...
