2011 toyota camry se remote start

kxed wrote: I got it installed the dball was a nightmare I couldn't get it to program so I ripped it out and installed a tk05 and programmed like a pro. even though they don't list it on the dei web sight Toyota is still using 2 different keys in 2011 a g key and a punch mark key. I think this is where I had the problem with the dball and tl4 firmware as I have the punch mark key but dei said it should still work.

Don't use DEI and you won't have this problem...ADS and fortin will set you free. Believe me I drink current, eat ohms, and bleed voltage

I will remember that next time what brand remote start do you recomend

im big on the compustar + idatalink or fortin (whichever works better) DEI start/alarm units are reliable and work great. just their xpresskits bypass line specifically DBALL need some fine tuning. The price of a DBALL is significantly cheaper compared to fortin/idata when it comes to wholesale/dealer pricing. I have a feeling the current cost is to make up for their R&D, and soon once its "perfected" to them, the prices will go up.Ted

Okay guy now I'm having some new problems sometimes the remote start will do nothing at all I soldered all wires so it can't be a poor connection. can it be a antenna problem? also i didn't diode isolate anything as it didn't say to can there be an issue there?

i suggest you further explain your problem. "remote start will do nothing at all" doesn't really give us any indication or narrow down the problem. Ted

it will not activite at all no lights or clicking like there is no power and the remote makes the no reception noise

Start with the basics. Check all of your power and ground connections as close to the module as you can. Make sure to check all of the main (large gauge) 12v constants as well as the small gauge constant as well (if applicable). Connect your DMM black lead to the ground connection right at the unit (as close to the connector as possible) and the red lead to each constant power.Kenny

It will work sometimes but not always all connections are soldered

It could be an antenna issue but just because something is soldered doesn't mean its not a bad connection. I would check all of your connections at the connectors into the r/s when it is not working and see if there is any change. If it is a connection, it will most likely be either a power or a ground issue since if it were a shutdown issue, it would at least flash the lights. Also check the neutral safety toggle switch and make sure the connections on the switch are good. The small switches that DEI supplies have extremely weak connections and any little tug can break the connection.Kenny

i grounded the neutral safety wire. I'm trying to catch it when its not working but that always seems to happen when I'm not at home to run some tests
