Tailgate Central Locking for Toyota Hilux SR5 2015–2025
Australia's favourite ute deserves a tailgate that locks when you lock your doors. This vehicle-specific kit wires a precision actuator into the Hilux SR5's factory central locking circuit, eliminating the need for a separate tailgate key. Whether your Hilux works a construction site five days a week or tows a camper trailer on weekends, the tailgate is secured every time you walk away from the vehicle.
Features:
Integrates with factory central locking — operates from your existing OEM remote
Actuator and mounting bracket engineered specifically for the Hilux N80 tailgate latch
No drilling into bodywork or tailgate panel required
Automatic lock and unlock with door operation
Suits SR5 grade across single cab, extra cab and double cab variants
Fitment:
This kit fits the Toyota Hilux SR5 from the 2015 model year (N80 platform) through to the current 2025 facelift. It is not compatible with earlier Hilux generations. If you own a non-SR5 grade, contact UniUte to confirm whether this kit will suit your specific variant.

A tailgate central locking kit connects your ute’s tailgate to the vehicle’s factory central locking system. It locks and unlocks automatically with your car remote, improving security and convenience.
Is the UniUte tailgate locking kit compatible with my ute?
Yes — UniUte kits are vehicle-specific and designed to suit popular utes such as Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, Isuzu D-Max, Nissan Navara, and Mitsubishi Triton. Choose the correct model for a plug-and-play fit.
Is installation difficult?
Installation is straightforward. Each kit includes pre-wired harnesses, brackets, and full instructions. For most models, it’s a direct plug-in to factory wiring with no cutting or soldering required.
Does the kit work with aftermarket roller shutters or canopies?
Yes — the system works perfectly alongside roller shutters, hard lids, and canopies, ensuring your entire tub locks together with your vehicle doors. Just confirm your accessory wiring is compatible.
Is the kit waterproof and durable?
Absolutely. All actuators and connectors are weather-sealed to withstand water, dust, and vibration. They’re built for long-term reliability in tough Australian conditions.
Pretty straightforward wiring probably won’t be easy if someone doesn’t have the wiring knowledge but works well and no issues very happy with the product
Nice and easy to fit although the wire diagram was misleading as it states specific colours which do not match in the 24 model dmax and the instructions were unclear
From a few google posts I figured out the wires were the 2 end ones in the plug which were yellow and salmon colours and slightly bigger diameter than the others
Once connected everything worked as it should 😀
Now looking at the mirror folding module for the next upgrade
Overall it’s a great product, the instructions need to be redone as the images are not very helpful. But once you get your head around it the instillation was quite easy
Easy to fit, joining the wires need some thought (wrong colour’s in instructions) worked fine.
I did modify mine to move lock arm instead of lock latch. See how it last’s. Delivery was fast & packaged well.
Got the tailgate central locker, Great product , easy to install instructions were clear in b&w except the most important photo of the wiring at the end pic was grainy and needed to be colour. But jumped on google 100s of similar products people had installed so it wasn't hard to sort in the end.
But really happy with it.
It would have been better to have a note that the wiring harness is in the centre pillar passenger side.
This would make the job a lot easier. Otherwise very good system
I've had the remote tailgate lock installed for over a year now. Works well, no issues.
The installation instructions were hard to follow and took me a while to figure out but once I realised what was going on it was fine.
Easy to install, works a treat, only down side is if unlock the tray & not the doors the car doesnt sense me near a door it then locks the doors causing the tray to lock while open which i then need to unlock the car to get it to close. Otherwise its great
