2011 toyota camry, crimestopper rs4-g3

I have installed  literally hundreds of 556UW on new Canrys and have never had one come back. The key to a good install is to get the ring very tight and up against the shroud. The car comes with 3 keys new so there's a spare still. No security risk if you run the blade of the key over a grinder first. Right now it's the only choice on the 2012 Camry as there are no bypasses on the market for the car...Mike M2

I always use Crimestopper's universal bypass (key in a box). The module is longer than the DEI version so no modification in needed to the key or bypass. BTW, it's cheaper too.I drink current, eat ohms, and bleed voltage

ok , I found the dei unit, 12$ I think, couldnt find the crimestopper one, sounds like that one works best. and where do I mount  this unit, under dash as high as I can? (as close to ant as possible?)

fortin has the new TB-Toyota that works for 2012 lineup. Used one already, and they are pretty solid. Just hassle of the dealership scan tool. if you install for dealerships, im sure they dont mind letting you use it. Simple setup.Ted

If you mean the 556UW, it' doesn't matter where you hide it. I always screw it to the black duct that's to the right of the steering column right behind the knee airbag.

Yea i saw that. I deal with a couple Toyota dealers and it will be mixed as to whether i could use it. Carmax Toyota will have no issue programming it but another i can think of would charge to do it. We looked into TIS scantool to purchase also, there are cheap Chineese versions you connect to a laptop for 200 bucks. I'm wondering whether it's worth stocking them at all, Idata says they are close to releasing software for the new Camry and would make the Fortin obsolete. For now we may stick with the key in the box...

I would wait for the idatalink software personally. Idatalink specializes in toyota and im willing to bet that it won't require a dealer scan tool.I drink current, eat ohms, and bleed voltage

ok thanks guys, I ordered the dei unit yesterday as well as 2 relays and ends. will probably have questions when i actually lay it out

I want to see what idata has to offer. I would rather avoid any dealer scan tool in general, but we'll see.Ted

Ok, so I think I have everything I need except for a few questions. If you go to crimestoppers website you can view the same inst man I have. I will go through wire by wire just to clear a few things up for me. Thanks so much for your help!! This is for the low current 12 pin plug   1) yellow/wht horn chip...does my horn req. 12 v??  2)yell/blk...grd out when running..do I need this?? 3)brn aux out trunk pop..diagran shows a relay wired in , I assume I have to do this?? 4)grey neg hood switch...do I have to put this switch on? or can I wire a toggle switch under dash?? 5) RED / wht tach input...can I hook this to the tach wire for my camry?? Low current 3 pin plug  1)green start activation input or oem interface...looks like mine would be option 17-1 mode 2 ??  2) ORANGE / wht programmable opt 24 for vehicles req a 2nd acc or ign... do I need this?? if so what for 3) blue/orange stater output for push to start..I dont need this , correct??  power door lock wiring.. is mine a neg trigger?? or is it a databus/canbus system???      Smarttachless mode...should I use this instead of the wire I mentioned earlier?? tach wire seems accessable and programming seems way simpler.    Hi current 6 pin  1)pink/wht 12v multi funtion  do i need??  ok now the dei unit  1) blue staus wire  where does this go ?? and finally the set up for the dei ..can I use standard immobilizer interface or alt1 or alt2??  thanks again for the help, I'm trying to keep this simple as this is my first one, been a mechanic for 27 years but the last 18 have been as a truck mechanic so this is a little more than what I'm used to.
