2017 Yaris L questions
Hi all, just bought a 2017 Yaris L with a pretty high amount of miles on it for it's year (it was a rental, so no real surprise there).
It's got power windows/locks, but no mirrors which seems odd but so be it (although I have to admit sticking my arm out the window to adjust the mirrors is so 1970's ). My questions are: 1. Can I upgrade to keyless entry? I thought the car had that till I took delivery on it and found out it didn't. 2. Is there an armrest option out there for it, I'm just used to having one. Other than those two questions I have to admit I'm falling in love with this car, it really is the perfect city car. I've never had so much ease in finding a parking spot here in overcrowded NYC |

I'm sorry that I can't answer your questions, but I'm a fellow 2017 Yaris L owner. I'm sure you'll love it!

Yes you can upgrade to keyless AFAIK
Toyota sold an armrest as an accessory. Its for 2012-2014 but unless the center console is vastly different in 2015-17 cars, it should fit with little to no mods. Here is the part number anyways: PT413-52120

Yep, you can get the OEM keyless by buying some new alarm keys from Amazon or ebay, a new keyless/tpms module, and a Techstream program to change the settings in your car.
You will have to go to the dealership or tire shop to re-program the TPMS to the new TPMS module. I left mine as is with the annoying light b/c I didn't want the dealership to charge me a >$100 to reprogram. Here's the thread: https://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=59407 |

Yeah, I did the video and the swap first I guess lol. It's not that hard to install.

Oh yeah, the 12-14 armrest doesn't fit the 15 up console. Tried it.
