Can Tailgate Lock PAL5400 be Reprogrammed to Different Key
Question:
I have 2013 Toyota Tacoma Crew Cab 4x4 with the 5ft bed. After reading and viewing the product video, I understand the lock can be programmed to the ignition key. My question is can the lock be reprogrammed again by another key by someone who is familiar with this product trying to break into your vehicle? I ask this because of a recent conversation I had with a 4x4 conversion expert who thought the manual lock would be the better product to use. They believe the programmable one would allow others to reprogram it with another key and gain access. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The BOLT key coding that is used in the # PAL5400 can only be keyed to one key. Once you have programmed the lock to a key it can never be changed. There would be no way a thief could reprogram the lock as it can only ever be programmed once.
