2010 S Corolla Upgrades - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

mm2margaret · 10-22-2011, 10:31 AM

So, I have to ask, as I just inherited this very nice car. And it's used (not much), and it's a great car, but I'm curious about a few upgrades.....

Can I get it upgraded from keyed start to keyless start? Any ideas out there? Anybody tried this?

And, can I upgrade the manual trunk release to remote trunk release?

Not much worried about the cost, just yet, just want to know if it's possible, first with Toyota parts, then with after market parts. I'd prefer to do these both with real Toyota parts, but I'd use after market if I had to.

Thanks in advance to any who respond!

I just had a viper remote start w/ remote trunk release installed on my 2011 for just over 300$. works great.

No one has converted their traditional ignition over to push button start yet if that is what you are referring to. Now there are many aftermarket applications but none so far that I've seen that are practical or safe.
and I agree with the viper alarm/remote start

not sure what your asking, my 2010 s has a "trunk opener button" on the remote which is part of the key, do you not have remote locks?

I'd go with Viper Alarm/remote starter combo. I haven't done it for my corolla yet but for other cars. I don't want to have a Built in remote with my key and a separate fob ... it's awkward LOL

Your S should come with keyless entry ... when looking at the key [with key pointing up and words in the right direction] out of the 4 buttons, it should be the one on the right.

here is a pic I circled below with arrow ...
