2002 v6 camry xle remote start

Thanks again. I looked at that diagram, over-analysed it, confused myself and gave myself a headache. Apologies yet again. I'll go hang my head in shame.

Come on I have to do this in my head every time I do an install. At least I've colour coded it all for you.

Understood. A final couple of questions: Is an inline fuse required for connecting the relay to the ignition wire or it would it be prudent to have one? If I connect both 12v connections from the r/s and the fused 12v from the relay for the trunk to the 12 volts at the ignition switch, I take it that it will not cause any issues i.e. trying to run too much from one 12v supply? Thanks.

1) Definitely not needed you're switching about 1.5 amps. 2) Should be OK but if you have a main fuse box local it would be wise to split those power lines in two and send some to the fusebox supply, thick white.

This may be too late or you may already know this but you can view the specific wiring diagrams for your car from Autostart Canada. This link: http://www.autostart.ca/autosoft/car_select_serial_prostart.aspx All you have to do is enter the serial number of your prostart unit and select your vehicle. I'm pointing this out because depending on your vehicle the autostart tech sheet may have pictures of where the wires are located, which can be a big help.

Thanks afridihamid. I did download the tech sheet, but I needed to be 100% confident that it was right and that what I would be doing was also right.

Let me assure you both that after nearly 40 years as an installer, diagnostic guru and auto sparks, if I'm working on something new, I'll download every one's crib sheet I can find, cross reference and STILL test and verify before proceeding.

Installed the unit. In the testing process the car would start, die after about 5 seconds and then try starting itself again. It did this 3 times before giving up. The tach learning wasn't working correctly either. Relocated the tach wire to the ECU and this resolved the issue...success! Without the planning, reading, questions and testing, I would never have done this right. Without the knowledge and help of Howie II , I probably would never have even attempted to do this install. In fact, I actually considered giving up at one point. As Howie's signature says "Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first". All I will say is, ignore this at your own peril.

It's a pleasure because you asked reasonable intelligent questions and listened, you also said maybe without realising "stop please explain again I'm not sure". Well I don't mind that although I'm an impatient person, but all your questions were good ones.
