We usually don't do cable drive locks so we turn away any Yaris that comes to us for locks. That doesn't mean it isn't possible. You can try removing the door latch assembly and see if it is possible to mount an actuator to it and make it work. We have done this a few times on other cars, like Nissan trucks. It's a real pain, but if it's your own car it might be worth the extra effort....

You can go to the junkyard and see if they got the entire assembly with actuators built into it arleady.
I was never able to install regular actuators into cable type

I have done actuators in cable door lock systems a few times, but never in a yaris.. Im sure it is the same though. It definately is a little harder to do, but you can do it. U have to cut the sleeve of the cable system to expose the actual cable running through. You also need to secure the cable to the door so it has more tension. The most recent vechiles i have done with cable lock systems were hondas and ford focuses.

look foward to where the cable attaches to the handle (the pull). Is there any plastic you can put a hole in and run the part (the rod clamp) all the way up to the plastic. This is how yado it on a Hyundai elantra. say a 2004.

yes on the yaris you have to drill a hole through the plastic lever itself. you'll need to cut a notch out of the top of the piece before drilling. it's very similar to a 05-07 corolla actuator install

Ive worked at a Toyota dealership before and when the Yaris's first came in I honestly thought it was going to be a cake job... Unfortunately, I pulled a Yaris that did NOT have power door locks nor a radio. It took me about 3 hours to finally figure out how to mount the actuator though, and the most hardest part IMO is slipping the door panel back in. I used a regular actuator and no special cable attaching things like the link posted above. I did however what delex had mentioned which was drill into the locking lever and cut a piece of plastic from the top portion right above the locking lever. Then I screwed back in the door handle, and mounted the actuator I believe to the left (If you were doing the drivers door; facing it). Now that everything was in place, I removed the door handle screw and snapped the door handle back into the door panel. Now comes the tricky part of sliding back on the door panel. Shouldnt be too hard though once you figure out where to mount the actuator

tried to install actuators into buddies toyota yaris...so i cut into the cable to expose the wire that operates the locking mechanism but now it won't work with the door lock/unlock thingy on the door...it'll lock with the actuators but not using the door mechanism which becomes dangerous in case of emergency. help someone please...

Did you check to see if it was still hooked up to the manual switch?

Did you secure both ends of the cable afterwards? if you don't they won't work...
