06 Camry, Crimestopper 2016FM

Hi, I need wiring info for a 2006 Camry. It is just a base model. I am installing a Crimestopper 2016FM. Is it the same as the 2005? I put a Crimestopper 2005FM in my 4Runner a few years ago using only info & help from people on this site. The installation came out great. Worked correctly the very first try. Hopefully this vehicle will be the same.

I checked for requests on this vehicle and found none. I hope this isn't a duplicate question.

Thanks, Ron

Hi,

I am about to start installing a Crimestopper 2016FM in a 2006 Camry. This is a BASE MODEL Camry, not a “Limited” or anything like that, just the base model (though it comes nicely equipped)  I already have the standard wiring printout, many thanks for that. I am not a pro installer, but I have installed a Crimestopper 2005FM in my 4-Runner 5 years ago(?) and a Crimestopper 2006FM in my wifes Solara a year or so ago. Both solely with the help from people here. I've tried to be a minimal pain in the a** and I try to find my specific answers before posting. Both systems previously installed worked flawlessly when tested.

This car is for my daughter going to college and a 3 day a week job. I could have it installed, but a lot of installers are looking to get in & out quickly and I wouldn’t want to pay the extra for someone to do a spectacular job, so I guess I’ll do it myself, again. I want to try and make it at least a little difficult for anyone who'd try and steal this car 

I know I could ring all wires out, test and double test everything, but if someone has the knowledge already and could just help me out, I'd save a ton of time

Materials. I was going to use the blue wire connectors from Radio Shack. You lay the wire you want to tap into on one side and the alrms wire on the other, close and squeeze. Does anyone have a problem with these connectors? Obviously soldering would be best, but… I guess I’m just a bit lazy

I was going to install the alarm/remote starter brain in behind the instrument cluster. There appears to be enough room for this and possibly any relays plus it would be difficult for someone to get to quickly or comfortably. Do this sound good?

Some of this is asking for info and some I am just looking to confirm that I’ve got it right

Anyway.... I started at the ignition switch. It was amazing how quickly & easy this car is to disassemble. The ignition switch plug has 2 BLACK / YELLOW wires in it. One for 2nd starter and one for 2nd ignition. I need the one for IGN 2. How do I tell which BLACK / YELLOW wire is for IGN 2 and which for 2nd starter

As for the 2nd starter. I read that this is for cold day starts(?) and unless hooked up, car wont crank with remote start on very cold days, yet I see no connection on my alarm for the 2nd starter wire

Door lock wires. I have kick plate removed and there are 3 wire harnesses coming out of door. Top harness is white w/8 wires, middle is grey w/4 wires, lowest plug is blue with 9 wires. Id prefer to make connection here opposed to at fuse box area, again to make things difficult for thief, but am unsure which harness is right one. It also appears that I may have to push the “unlock” button on remote twice to unlock all doors. Once for drivers door and again to unlock other doors. I’d like to avoid this if possible

Trigger. Do I have to run more than 1 wire for this. Are these doors independently triggered? It appears that there are 3 wires, each requiring a diode, one for each front door and 1 for the 2 rear doors, but my alarm manual says that I could go to the one wire that turns the dome light on when any door is opened. However, I thought I read that you can get faulty readings as far as door ajar etc. if you do it this way

As for the headlights, parking lights, signals, I have steering column cover removed and total access to plug that goes into light switch on steering column. I'd prefer to wire any flashing lights etc here but dont know which wires to tap into. The plug has 12 wires in it

Horn trigger, does anyone know off the top of their head if horn circuit requires +12v, if it does I need to install a relay to make this work, which is no big deal, I'd just like to know 

Dome light. Does my car have a pos or neg dome light system. Both require a relay, it would just be nice to know. I’m obviously not great at testing wires. Is this the “Dome Supervision” light on the wiring chart?

I know this is a long post. I tried to think of everything I would need to know to avoid multiple posts. Hopefully someone can help me out. I appreciate any info, regarding these specific questions or otherwise.

If allowed on this forum I’ll write up what I did for the complete installation when I’m through and it works. Hopefully it’ll help others out. The wiring document is good to have, and I bought a Haynes Manual for how to get things apart and the wiring diagram, but those aren’t telling/solving everything

Hello,

No transponder. It's just a base model

*Note – I unhooked battery to keep airbags from popping and have many plugs unplugged ie. Instrument panel/ radio/ heater so I can run wires and see where I have available space for system brain/ relays/ modules, so testing wires for + or – isn’t readily do-able

Looking over everything I come to the following conclusions

On My Crimestopper 2016FM there is a 9 pin plug

ORG/BLK     OEM Disarm

ORG/BLK       NOT NEEDED (?) -  I have no factory alarm or keyless entry

ORANGE        NEEDED w/RELAY - Goes to relay that cuts starter wire Effectively this is the kill

BLU/WHT       HOPEFULLY NOT NEEDED - Hopefully all doors will unlock with a single push of

BLU/BLK         NOT NEEDED (?) - Grounds while remote starting for use when factory security

GRN/RED        NOT NEEDED - For trunk release/button 3 momentary press. Also disables radio

BLK/WHT         NEEDED/WANTED - Use w/relay for dome light to come on w/disarm (arm?)

BRN/WHT        NEEDED/WANTED – I believe this honks horn in addition to siren. If 12+ is   

BROWN           NEEDED - No brainer

GREEN            NEEDED – This is what triggers the remote start sequence ?

There is also a 3 PIN PLUG

WHT/RED        TACH INPUT

WHT/RED        NOT NEEDED? Unit is capable of tachless and I think I went that route with my

BLACK              NEEDED - No Brainer

WHITE              NEEDED – Connects to parking light switch. Unit has jumper for either 12v + or – 

There is a 5 PIN PLUG

VIOLET              + Door Pin Switch Output

VIOLET            Either Violet or Green is used for door pin switch. Which one do I need? Does the

GREEN           Same as above

3 Pin Plug for DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK

GREEN             - LOCK / + UNLOCK

GREEN            NEEDED / NOT NEEDED? 06 Camry Base Model

Your orange starter kill will cut the black.white starter wire. 

The blue white is needed, as it will take two pulses to unlock all doors. Tie this wire to the blue unlock wire and then both to the blue unlock wire in the drivers kick panel. This will give you 2 stage unlock. 

Yes, BLACK/ white thru a relay to the GREEN/ red coming from the key illumination ring at the column.

BROWN / white doesn't need a relay, directly connect to GREEN/ black in the column.

Green is not needed, that's for an external trigger for the RS.

Use the green(not violet) wire for door trigger. You can either use independant triggers or just tie it to the GREEN/ red at the key illumination ring. It will work fine there and will be triggered by all doors.

The blue trunk wire is easy, hook this to the green wire in the kick panel. It's the second harness forward from the door jamb, there's a white plug there. It's in that. This will cover the trunk for the alarm.

As for the locks, green goes to blue / YELLOW in the car, blue goes to blue in the car(along with your blue/white 2nd unlock wire). These are found in the KP, the harness coming from the door. The red isn't needed.

Spectacular !
