Does Keyless Entry come standard on the 1997 Toyota Avalon?

Hi ericsonofthor,

The answer is NO. The 1997 Toyota Avalon does not come equiped with
the keyless entry, nor do they offer the keyless entry as an optional
upgrade.


REFERENCE:

Remote Ignition                      N/A   N/A

One of my collegues has pointed me to a site that says the keyless
entry is an option:

http://www.shopping.com/xPF-Toyota_1997_Toyota_Avalon
 Optional on the XL and standard on the XLS are anti-theft device with
keyless entry system, aluminum wheels and power bucket seats.

I'll call a Toyota dealer and get to the bottom of it on Monday!

Update Sunday afternoon,

I have a friend that works for Toyota, I have emailed him asking him
for the correct answer. Hopefully he will get back to me on Monday or
Tuesday!

(If you made it this far - Thanks Troy!)

Hi
   The keyless entry option from  www.automobile-security.com  is a
better solution as one does not need to carry car keys.

One can enter by using his fingerprint.Its called Identisafe-09
fingerprint keyless entry system.

I have used it on my Toyota for a period of a year now.
I hope i have answered your question.

Also check for comparison between RF keyless entry and Fingerprint keyless entry.

I feel fingerprint keyles entry and ignition start is more secure.Well
you can still use or keys also.
