Pop & LockPL8540 Tailgate Lock,Black

Ordered this lock system for my 08 tacoma to prevent having my tailgate stolen as well as to keep my items in the bed locked, so my tools are safe whenever I need to get down somewhere real quick. I had a harder time finding the installation instruction than I did installing this locking mechanism on my truck, no joke. Not a fan of this scan the qr code. Almost never find im looking for. Once I did get the right year and model, took me to the exact 2 wires I needed, it was done and working perfect. I've seen other installation instructions that mention to program the key once installed, which is how I did mine, but my instructions said to program first. Luckily, I didn't mess it up, that is the one thing I overlooked and would have turned this into a nightmare if the key programming would have been jammed out. Highly recommended.

I had mine professionally installed because I was having a new backup cam installed at the same time. So, I can't comment on ease of installation but I can comment that it works perfectly in conjunction with the remote unlock in my '09 Tacoma.

Easy install, works great

This tailgate lock is Fantastic! Fits my 2015 Toyota Tacoma perfectly. Easy to install! Saved money buying from Amazon. Delivered Quickly.I called Pop & Lock prior to purchasing this to ask about whether the warranty is good if I purchase it from Amazon. They told me that there would NOT be a problem if I had an issue with it. Nice to hear!I found a video on YouTube to see an install. The directions tell you to run the wiring from the tailgate to, under the truck, coming into the engine compartment, then poking a hole in a large rubber grommet in the firewall to run the wires. Interestingly, there is a 2" grommet about 6-8" in from the post behind the driver, under the carpeting. I poked a hole in that, ran my wire from the tailgate to the post, then caulked it to prevent any moisture from entering the cab of the truck. It worked like a charm!Additionally, because I read that this lock is a bit loud when it's unlocked or locked using the FOB, I insulated the tailgate before I put the black panel back on. I used a product that I bought from H.D. for $11 called 'Self Adhesive Foil and Foam' by Frost King (#FV516). It's 12"W x 1/8"Thick x 15'L. It fit perfectly across the entire opening once the panel is removed. It's got an adhesive on it that I put toward the opening, then placed the panel back on and screwed in place. It didn't work as well as I hoped but it did deaden the sound about 25 to 50%. Worth it to me.

The only thing is tha is not conector to the main cables
