I bought this keyless entry system for a 1992 car I just purchased. It worked great and was easy to install. However I will warn anyone without automotive mechanical experience the directions are terrible. So if you’r not familiar with the car your installing it on, don’t expect the directions to offer any assistance. With that being said everything worked great once installed. I can open the trunk, flash lights, honk horn and the range is actually really good for such an inexpensive unit. Definitely a great deal for anyone looking for basic keyless entry functions on an older car.

I am no wiring guru. I am a normal person who just works on their car. The included instructions were useless to me.
What ended up working for me, for just basic lock/unlock functionality using the "Keyless Entry" version (no alarm), was as follows on a 99 Tacoma. Wiring will work with 95-00 Tacoma.
1. Get wiring table from Commando Security or other website for my 99 Tacoma. Disconnect car battery.
2. Print out the diagram of different lock mechanisms from the Amazon listing
3. Apparently (figured out via trial and error), my truck works best with the "Negative Trigger", so we will be using that.
4. I was not going to use the parking lights / windows, so I first collected the wires on the IG unit that were not going to be used at all and tied them up and away so I can focus on the other cables. I tied up (not using) the following wires: Gray, Green, Pink (windows), Purple (Parking lights), Big Purple (trunk).
5. Remove the underpanel underneath the steering wheel (4 10mm bolts, 1 phillips screw), and kick panel (snap in, but requires you to open a couple of screws on the door sill). Remove hood latch cable from the main...

For the price, it's a decent alarm and it's nice that it has on-board relays for door lock solenoids.
If I could give ZERO stars..., I would! Read update below..
But..., one thing I found (and it was my own mistake) is that you CANNOT use the normal wire splices to connect to the various important feeds (ACC, +12v, Parking, Brake, etc.), you MUST strip and solder to feed wires. Problem is, splices are made for 16-18ga wires and the wires that this alarm comes with are like hair thin, so splices don't cut through insulation and connect. If you use the red ones (for 20-24ga wires), then it cuts TOO MUCH of the vehicle feed wire (normally 18-16ga or so), not leaving enough current carrying capacity. I learned all this the hard way. One thing that's become utterly and almost intolerably annoying, about ten seconds after you get out of the car, or into your car, or just open a door, it loudly chips three times, no matter what, alarm on, off, whatever. It's become so bloody annoying I fear just opening a door now. Anyway, I bumped my rating up as I thought for sure my ACC was connected (even the metal blade in the splice showed +12v, but it wasn't...

la alarma funciona, pero está mal el instructivo, para abrir y cerrar las puertas hay que conectar todos los cables y no como indica el instructivo. Viendo el vídeo que subió uno de los clientes de amazon es suficiente para sortear este problema.
En mi caso no conecte los cables del arranque y el de accesorios ya que principalmente me interesaba poder abrir y cerrar mi auto a distancia. Lo que no me gusta es que la alarma hace el armado pasivo siempre, lo cual es muuuuuuy incomodo ya que si estás dentro del auto hay que desactivarla.

I work on my own vehicles, so I know my way around my cars. But if I didn’t, I wouldn’t know what to do with this product out of the box. If you’re a do-it-yourselfer, be ready to investigate (online and under the dash) your specific vehicle’s wiring system. Not just the wires and their respective colors, but whether your system is negative-or positive- triggered, and how your door locks are actuated (air, electric, not at all).
The instructions are confusing, and poor at best, and my 2 attempts to contact the company for product support went unanswered. I eventually found my answers by reading other customers’ reviews, and trial and error.
For the money, I’m super happy that I can now unlock and lock my doors remotely (because my driver’s key lock cylinder froze up permanently, leaving me with only the passenger door as my way in). This took me 2-3 hours all told.
