Keyless entry issue after sound deadening the door

[jptruck]

Ran outside to check my system, and it's all good. I used Soundshield deadening throughout the car (doors, floorpan, liftgate), and have no issues with key fob or door locking (unlock and locK). The reason for adding my two cents is that Soundshield has an aluminum core, and I basically encased the doors with it. You'd think there would be interference with that, but it's all good.

My guess is that you have a sensor blocked or not reconnected somewhere. Good luck.

Kilmat

Is this what you ordered and is this enough to do all 4 doors?

this is what I ordered and it was plenty to do all four doors...

Noticed this again today, twice it’s happened. Locks with the touch, mirrors don’t fold in and the keyless entry stopped working. Very strange. Did we conclude that it’s the sound deadening causing it?

Installed this in all 4 doors yesterday and it made a huge difference in the quality of the feel and sound of the doors when you close them. Took about 2 1/2 hours to do all 4 doors. Very easy to work with. No issues on keyless entry afterwards.

Hey, everyone

I added dynamat xtreme to my driver door. I used it in a number of areas, including sections of the inside of the outer panel, the inner facing panel, and the inside of the door card. I would call my application targeted, so it was far from complete coverage. It was effective and improved the sound quality from the speaker, while removing the rattling of the door that I was experiencing.

An interesting side effect is that it apparently is shielding a sensor or antenna such that grabbing the door handle no longer unlocks the doors. Touching the door handle, however, does lock the doors. After which, I get a message the driver door is not locked, despite it definitely being locked. So, I assume I created a faraday cage with the metal liner of the dynamat blocking the signal to/from a sensor or antenna. To make sure I remove the appropriate piece(s), can anyone tell me where the sensors/antennas are located in the door and/or vehicle that I may have impacted? TIA

Not sure where you’re at now with this, but my 1958 is so intermittent that it’s almost not working. And the mirrors have stopped folding automatically on most occasions. Also, I get a notification in the Toyota app almost every time now saying that the driver side door is unlocked, but it is clearly locked when I check it.

That sounds like you have a connection issue somewhere. It is not related to the sound deadening (which doesn't impact the wireless at all.) Perhaps you disconnected some wire harnesses when you were installing the sound deadening and something is a little loose?

How much kilmat did you use on the doors? I'm planning to do the install, but I'm uncertain about what quantity to purchase. Thanks so much!

Yeah, I’ll have to pull it apart again and have a look. Not sure.
