john53 0 Posted January 16, 2013 I have recently swapped my old vehicle for a 1996 RAV 4, 2L 5-door. It came with 2 keys which is unusual for a vehicle of this age, however would this model have been remote central locking? and if so can I get a replacement remote?

mrbilly 3 Posted January 18, 2013 i actually this it would come with a remote system. i think the systems used were the rs3000 security system or the tvss 3b if you have a search for this system esp on ebay it will show you what the fob looks like and there might be a sticker on your rav saying tvss3III. do you see a red flashing led when you lock the door. also on the drivers side can you lock the passenger door with a button Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grasshopper 5 Posted January 18, 2013 My old Rav4 1 had central locking but not remote, I had a retro fit central locking installed and new keys cut for about £200 all in incl. install. It made a world of difference to the car! As the keys dont have chips in them it's quite straight forward. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john53 0 Posted January 19, 2013 Thanks mr billy and grasshopper, I have checked to see if there are any flashing lights when locking the door and there where no flashing lights not even indicators, yes there is a central locking button on the drivers inner door panel with the electric window buttons. There is a sticker on the driver and passenger side windows stating that the vehicle has a toyota security system but no model numbers. I find it strange that as the car has electric sunroof and electric front and rear windows and electric mirrors, that it would not be remote central locking.

grasshopper 5 Posted January 19, 2013 Same as my old one John, mine was 1995 model 3 door - electric windows, a/c as well, central locking but no remote. I had a garage fit mine so not sure of the diagram, but what I do remember is that the cabling is all down to the RHS of the drivers footwell. behind the plastic housing. The transponder was hidden so I didnt see any cables on show at all. It took the garage about an hour and it made the world of difference! As I said above, there is no decoder in the key so you'll get a couple of new remote keys and you can keep your old keys as spare. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
