After a year of pretending I didn’t need this tail gate lock, I finally gave in. And ordered one. Full of confidence in installing this because I have a very thorough video to Guide me. Thanks again Adam.

This looks like a great product. It should be standard on all new vehicles as well as easy up/down tail gate assist.

So informative! Should have turn on/off button for some safety features e.g when towing. Cheers Champ!

I just installed the tailgate lock thanks to Adam it was much easier. Cheers Wayne

Thanks for this video, I will be doing this soon. And you have good quality audio, a rare thing on KZfaq :D

Hey mate love your work bought one of these today, watched you video literally installed in under 30min .. great information when installing found this so easy to install after watching. Great work can’t wait to see what you install next on your DMAX so I can do the same.. cheers

Had a small issue with this one (I got my car on Thursday) I cannot for the life of me get the loom through that bloody rubber grommet on the firewall. So I have stopped and reset and I will look at it later. I also put in the tailgate storage, bit of a pain getting the alignment sorted correctly, but it is in and finished now. Tailgate struts, on the left hand side, one of the screws was so tight it stripped the face, so now I will have to drill it out and replace it before I can put the left side strut in. Fuel filter in and done, putting the inline adapter into the original pipe, what a pain. Window module in and done. Perfect. Bonnet struts in and done. Munji hard intercooler pipes, in and done. Rear indicators and rear lights replaced with led's. Have the catch can and the UHF sitting on the table, but I'm a bit over it now so I think I will go out and have a few beers with mates before I continue. Don't think I would have got through it all without your excellent videos, so thanks for the help mate. Got an EGR Dust Defence Kit on order, as well as well as some MaxPro Floor Liners.

Great video - I believe that both the tailgate and roller shutter should have an integrated automatic locking system as a standard item on the top of the range Ute now days.

I agree the tailgate assist and the x-terrain should come with with tailgate central locking as something that makes it more appealing and value for money!

Love it! One of the first things I will be doing to my XT when it arrives along with the tail gate assist. Would love to see a catch can set up next. Loving the videos 👌🏼

A great mod for a great vehicle. Can’t wait to get this and the tailgate assist installed when my MY21XT arrives. The after-market market would suffer if all these extras were added from factory and the new DMax range certainly have a lot of inclusions, but a proper fully automatic central locking system should be standard. Great vid, too 👍🏻

Finally just got around to doing this, hardest part was the bloody rubber grommet, I recommend some sika around it to be sure no leaks! Thanks for the video mate!

Great videos your making me get itchy feet for my new rig to show up. As a tradie the tailgate lock should 💯 be standard fitment. Can’t wait for the next vids.

Congrats on the Videos After watching the central locking one I will now get the kit and install with confidence of the support video👍👍 Can you let busk now what you have planned in future Vids?? Pete

Great informative video, If my X-Terrain ever turns up I will be fitting this on it! Should have been included as a standard item on the new D-Max.

Great video, straight to the point with no useless information. I would like to see a vid on tailgate seals as there seems to be a few different universal and model specific kits about and it's hard to tell which one to buy without trying them. I've ordered the Trac folding mirror module which I think should also be included standard for a top spec X-Terrain. A lot of the extras people on here are asking for seems to be standard on overseas models. I've added gas bonnet struts to mine, but they are a custom made setup I designed and made and not like the ones on Ebay that run along the sides of the engine bay. Mine sit right at the back near the hinges so the engine bay is completely clear of obstructions with the bonnet up, best mod i've done so far. The standard bonnet stay is a joke on a 2021 vehicle and a pet hate of mine being a mechanic, as they always seem to be in the way when working on the engine.

Very helpful video for when I get to do mine. This is probably better then a factory item if they made one.

Great vid. Get my X Terrain in 2 months, and thought central lock tailgate was standard - oh well. Another standard feature should be heated and cooled front seats.

Cheers for the info, bought one from your link, installed this morning, so easy, works well!

love this channel for all the things ill be doing once i pick up my silver xt!!, The mods i think should be included from factory, tail gate assist also seat warmers being a top model :)

What is wonderful job u did. Thank u for your show this video. I will follow your video and do my D-Max too.

Good job mate and that would have to be one of the first things added at factory that isn’t. Look forward to watching more of your build and hopefully I can get the prize 😜

Awesome Adam.. like most Guys first mod ill be doing...When My X Terrain finally arrives..😭

Western filters catch can! Easy mod for anyone and worth fitting for engine longevity

Awesome Video. HSP tail gate assist and central locking. Also a dust seal kit should have been a fitted in the factory. It would be good for Isuzu to support Australian companies and offer these products at the dealers. Keep up the good work..🙂👍

Thank you so much for this, given me the confidence to attempt this. I think XTERRAIN should have auto dimming rear view mirror.

Great video of the detailed install. Having the side mirrors close up when locking and open up when unlocking the car should be from factory setting aswell!

Only a minute and a half into the video but I am keen to watch more and unless swayed otherwise I feel like I will get one of these myself. Hopefully I can be fortunate enough to win one from HSP and your channel but nonetheless it seems like a very good addition and should be standard from factory.

Great video. They should have included the module to fold the mirrors when the car locks from factory like every other ute on the market

Great video. Keen to watch more. Couple mods they should have with the car. Button to turn off safety features while 4 wheel driving or towing. As well as proper "welcome home" lights like normal cars.

Great video mate, they should have had a button that directly turns off all the safety features rather than going though the settings each and every time you turn the ute on and off.

Awesome videos mate. Definitely the tail gate lock should be standard on the XT’s. 🤙🏻

Great Video, these should be standard these days, also heated mirrors in conjuction with rear demistors would be great.

Great video! Would loved to have seen the tail gate lift fitted as standard.

Love the video, would like to see installation of a light bar

Great video, very informative as always! 👍

Great how to for the tailgate lock install. This and the gas strut tailgate should be factory fit but at least HSP have us covered

When putting the original lock metal parts together, push the actuator into the metal part as far as you can get it. If it doesnt go in far enough it wont lock properly. With the rear tailgate liner, once you have unscrewed the four screws just unhook the right or left tailgate bar and slide it out rather than trying to fight with the rubber seal. Prevents damaging the seal. As far as the grommet goes in the firewall, I would not pop it out, just cut a slot in it to get the loom head through and seal it with silicone at the end. It is impossible to get the grommet back on particularly with large hands. I have been going at it for an hour and a half and am giving up on it for the moment. I have no idea how I'm going to get it back on.

Great instructional video. Best part is your work boots mate!

100% agree with guys below, it should have been factory done. Especially the terrain which doesn’t even have a proper key. Thanks for the video, looks easy to install. Looking forward to more on the dmax from you.

Have just enquired about one of these 😁. Would have been great if the tailgate locked with the central locking as standard.

Thanks for video, definitely be doing that on ours. Cheers

Great video. Gotta get me some of that tail gate assist, that tail gate lock is a sweet piece of kit too. That should be standard on the new Dmax.

Another great video mate. Pity it wasn't standard equipment. Will be one of my first options when she arrives. How about a CB install, maybe hidden under console. Hopefully a gme xrs-330c. Great Aussie made product. 👍

Congrats VECALAISV you've won! Get in touch so we can get you your kit!

Looking forward to start my mods. Thanks for the information.

Hey Hey, another great vid.. Keep it up. Ofcourse this item should have been included. Simple little things which would have made the world right.

The tail assist, tailgate central locking and a 12v plug in the tub for sure

Electric remote locking roller shutter would of been a handy addition.

Love it will be getting one for sure 👍

Torsion bar on the tailgate would have been an easy inclusion for Isuzu and maybe electric roller shutter for the XT buyers.

Cheers for the video, thought for sure all new utes would have tail gate central locking especially when the come with a roller like the xterrain.

Love to see a video on the mirror fold kit for the x-terrain

the xt seeing as it comes with a roller cover should come standard with 2 things. 1. tailgate lock 2. tailgate seal

Another great idea and product. Another mod should have been when you lock the xterrain the side mirrors should retract also.

Nice clean install. 25k plus on my xterrain already. Loving it! Gave it to my dealer when picking mine up about no Central locking to the tub. Should be standard. Cheers for the installation vid.

Great informative Vid, Should have got the Auto Dimming mirror from Factory!

Great video, looks like a much needed mod! Other than that, only thing I think is missing is a 360 view camera

XT arrives this week! tail gate lock should definitely be included from factory. No point having a lockable lid/roller shutter without a tailgate lock 😅

the Dmax should definitely have a tailgate seal on all the tub back models as standard. They have some whopping great gaps and you can fill a tub with fine bulldust fairly quickly.

Love my D-Max!! Would’ve been nice to have wireless charging and an auto dimming rear view mirror. Great car nonetheless.

Looks easy. Not something I thought of.

Awesome kit to have on your vehicle.

Nice vid. Bodyline tub storage box next?

Thank you for these tutorial videos, Adam! Curious, is the terminal different for left-hand drive?

The tail gate lock should come from factory but another mod that should be in the car from factory is a heads up display giving your speed! So much easier to keep an eye on the speed and watch the road at the same time!

When i get my xterrain this will be an add on and should have been included

Would have been awesome to have a 12V power source in the tub as standard 😁

Think there should be button to turn off the driver assist bits and peace’s for towing or should turn off automatically when you plug the trailer wiring harness it just like the reverse sensors Thanks for the videos very good

Great vid..seat heaters next👍

Where did you get your black tailgate protector? It looks great and I’d love to get one for my new X terrain too 👌🏾

This is a great add on, but i reckon that this should still be an add on and I'd prefer the factory sealed the tailgate.

Better without your device, if you give key fob to repairman person or anyone else, they can open your tailgate, because you gave them your key fob. Before, you could have locked your tailgate, because you kept key, and repair person had key fob (to start car and work on it).

Should of included the option for the mirrors to fold on lock. Weird that they didn't.

I think the side mirrors should auto fold when the car is locked from factory. Also tailgate assist should be standard.

should have been included from factory , need one for our d max when we get it

Light bar install please

Watching now and another great product. 👍🏻 Will this work on an 2021 LSU without the keyfob or push button start. Also both moss you have done should be installed as standard

Hi There!! Hope everything is going great! Greetings from Guatemala, Great video!! Just one question, does this kit fits the mazda bt50 2022? Regards!

I have just bought my very first ute so very new to the lifestyle, I have bought a 2021Mazda BT50 GT, Could you please let me know if this will fit the BT50 as they are essentially the same? Thanks

Great videos Adam....so when you use central locking on tailgate, does the tonnue cover stay locked/unlocked as i believe this is also a manual key lock ? Still waiting for my X-Terrain !!☹

Hey Adam, just finished the install on my new bus. Loved the easy instructions. Wanting to know what your tip is for getting the grommet back on? Pretty simple to get off but trying to feed it back onto the plastic thing is proving a bit challenging. Even took it to my local Isuzu dealership and they couldn’t get it back on.

Great Vid mate, they should have auto folding mirrors ex factory, any info if that's something you can cover?

Mirrors in and windows up when you lock

There should have been a factory motorised roller shutter on the X-terrain.

Done - Do they not also do the kit that automatically folds in the mirrors as well as locking the entire car ?

I have a question - can you still use your car key to physically lock the tailgate even if you have successfully installed the tailgate central locking? For my situation, I can use the remote key to lock all car doors including the tailgate but i cannot use my car key to lock the tailgate (although i can use my car key to lock the driverside door).

Great vid! I now have central locking on my X-terrain too. One question though, how the hell did you get the rubber grommet in the engine bay back into its slot? I pulled mine out to make the slit for the loom, but buggered if I can get all four sides of the grommet back onto the white plastic backing that it clips into. Its so damned tight up in that corner and the main loom blocks access to the back corner of the grommet. Any tricks and tips?

Morning mate, Thanks for you videos, they're a gem. I've just finished running loom, gave it a test and when locking and unlocking.... It's engaging the mechanism when unlocking and jamming when going to lock. Would you have any insights as to the issue? Ledgend Cheers Ben

Tail gate assist is something I believe should come from factory.

Auto dimming rear vision mirror should have come factory

They should sealed the gap in the tail gate (bottom), central locking tail gate and easy lift

Tail lock for sure! Awkward and annoying getting the small key out of the unlocking device... 🙂🤞

Hi Adam, is this the same installation with its sister mazda BT-50? Thanks in advance.

Awesome

I’m going to run 2 x relays and splice in the green and blue for a canopy central locking to control to open and close relays. Will this work?

Even with the edits it's probably taken you about an hour or so to install, which means it will probably take me at least five, lol

Has anyone tried the trac electronics version. About $100 cheaper and their window module was great. Would think should be same quality ?

They should have central locking on all Ute trays it is 2021
