You ar very creative Folks on here. Thanks OP
Just an option...could pop it from anywhere really...sitting in the driver seat ect. http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/foru...97985-rear-window-remote-control-writeup.htmlOkay another newbie question here. This will be my first time messing with vehicle electronics. I'm planning on having a switch on the rear door AND by the driver's seat. My question is how to then conect all the wires together for both switches to be functional. Do they get soldered into the same point or do I solder one switch in place then solder the second a little ways down? I'm planning on using an (on)off(on) in the rear like the OP and an (on)off on the dash. Also does anyone have a schematic to help this newbie? Thanks all!
Interesting. Taking the switch out of the equation, I just tried this myself using just my key. I turn the key to the left, and the rear door unlocks. I turn the key to the right, and the rear door locks. Hold the key to the right and the window unlatches. At no point do any of the 2 front doors lock or unlock. Am I missing something here?I haven't looked into the wiring, but I know when I turn my key in the rear door, I can open the window, lock or unlock all doors, so there is definitely the option to unlock the front doors from the back door.
I just checked with my 2013 FJ and it behaves exactly as you describe:Interesting. Taking the switch out of the equation, I just tried this myself using just my key.

Thank you for confirming.I just checked with my 2013 FJ and it behaves exactly as you describe:
Rear door lock cylinder: affects only rear door regardless if the other doors are locked or not.
Passenger side lock cylinder: Locks or unlocks all doors with a single turn.
Driver's door cylinder: single turn locks or unlocks driver's door only. Two quick key turns locks or unlocks all doors.
Never knew this was something they changed in newer FJs. Wonder why? I double checked my 2007 and I can lock and unlock all doors via the rear key.Interesting.

I wonder if rear door lock function is programmable?I double checked my 2007 and I can lock and unlock all doors via the rear key.
It isn't in the list of customizable features in my 2013 Canadian owners manual (relevant pages attached) but there may be more items available that aren't documented if you hook up to Techstream.I wonder if rear door lock function is programmable?
I know that you can set several functions such as a single press on the remote either unlocks only the driver's door or all the doors, or the 'relock if unopened' timing.
From going through the USA and Canada owners manuals, it appears that the change in the behaviour of the rear door lock cylinder was made during the 2007 model year. The manuals for Jan '06 production 2007 USA MY FJ have the rear door cylinder locking or unlocking all doors when turned. The manual for the Oct '06 production 2007 USA MY FJ does not.Never knew this was something they changed in newer FJs. Wonder why?
