As for the remote part, you would need to install a system on the car side for the electronics to talk to. The easiest thing is a cheap ($40 - $60) keyless entry or remote starter. Even if you don't upgrade to power locks (which is actually not hard to do, as I did so with my red 08 Yaris) you could still use the auxiliary output of the receiver to turn the headlights on or pop the trunk.

Thank you so much! I guess one of those cheesy remote starter kits will have to work. The tricky part is probably going to be fitting the remote guts into the key fob.
As for the keyless unit, where would I have to wire in the headlights? Would I do it at the stalk? Which pins would I need to connect to? If I end up getting a keyless entry/remote start kit, I don't want it to actually have control over the horn or the hazards or anything like that, I'd just want it to operate the headlights or the trunk.
