I'd like to install an alarm on my 2003 Toyota Tacoma. It does NOT
have power door locks or power windows. Are there any good alarm
systems on the market which will work with manual door locks?

Any alarm should work without the lock/unlock feature enabled.

Look at http://www.directed.com/. There are alarms that have features to
actuate door locks, windows, sun roofs etc., but those features do not have
to be connected. You can also buy kits to install electric door locks on
your car that operate with the remote for your alarm.

I. Care

Any alarm on the market will work with manual door locks. The door locks
have nothing to do with the security or how well the system works. It's a
convenience feature, nothing more. If you want to ADD power door locks that
something else entirely but can be done very easily (unless it's a Focus) by
adding door lock actuators to any alarm.

Just out of curiosity, why is the Focus so hard to add this feature to? I've
never seen the car up close, so I don't know how the mechanism works. Thanks

They all will. It just meanss that the system will arm even though your
locks are open. It is up to you to lock your car.

The door isn't deep enough to get an actuator in. Even the smallest
actuators I've seen (Accele pieces) weren't even close. If you don't buy a
Focus with power locks, you'll never have them.

There's plenty of room for speakers but there isn't any room between the
sheetmetal and the door panel to get an actuator in there.
