You need to connect to both ign. and BOTH starters (and of course the accs.)

12 VOLTS	Black	Ignition switch harness	+
IGNITION	Yellow	Ignition switch harness	+
IGNITION 2	Pink	Ignition switch harness	+
ACCESSORY	White	Ignition switch harness	+
STARTER	Blue	Ignition switch harness	+
STARTER 2	Gray	Ignition switch harness	+

Thanks for the reply,So in my owners manual the wires I have are Yellow =starter,green=acc,and two red for constance power and blue for ignition and white for selectable output (2nd ignition,acc,or start output) what wires would go where and would I need to put a relay for any thanks

yes you will need to add a relay for 2nd starter. the yellow wire from your unit would go to the blue wire in the camry. the green from your unit to the white in the camry, blue from your unit to yellow in the camry and white from your unit to pink. both your 12 volt wires can be connected to the black wire. how are you bypassing the toyota immobiliser key

So then the left over GRAY, that is were I would use relay with with the blue as far as the immobiliser I have the box that hides the key and wires go up to to key cylinder.The box needs constance power and neg goes to the remote start (neg out when running)

okay..... if this is a positive trigger... u are gonna need a relay.... 85 to your negative out on the system..... 86 and 87 to 12 volts.. and 30 to your positive trunk release wire....... don't forget to fuse your relay... a 10 amp should do it... and always make sure your connections are solid......

there can be only one.......

Thanks for the reply This what I tried when I used the original key fob and I have a volt meter on the black wire the meter goes 3volts and then jumps 6 to 7 volts then 0 so then I grabed power off a circut (fused) and touched the black wire but the trunk didnt open I can hear it clicking at trunk after a couple of more time my fuse poped I am lost

hmmmm... sounds like some sort of resistence is involved.. but wait a minute it might be reverse polarity.... u will not be able to trigger the trunk in that fashion... what u gotta do is this..... 86 on the relay goes to your negative out from the system... next up is 87 and 85 to 12 volts.. then u need to cut the trunk release wire.. and wire up 87a to the switch side of the wire and 30 to the trunk pop motor side.....

Isnt that way still going to send 12 volts to the trunk? What does wiring it that way exactly do?

your trunk release is reverse polarity... even though it seems like u should just be able to apply 12 volts to the switch and get your end result.... reverse polarity doesn't work that way... thats why your fuse popped..... i can't really explain it... i am not a master of relays... perhaps i lack the words to express the way it works in my mind rite now.... although i do understand the basics firmly.... somebody else may be able to explain it better than me.... all i know is i installed for 6 years.....

i like the fact that u questioned my logic....... i like to feel challenged.... i will search for the words to explain it better... and when i come up with em.... i will pass them along..

in the mean time...... somebody help me out here........

The trunk release wire rests at ground, You need to Cut the black wire in half and send +12v down the trunk side of the wire to pop the trunk. You need to wire the relay as so:

85 - trunk release wire from alarm

86 - +12V Constant

87 - +12V Constant

30 - The side of the Black Trunk Release Wire going towards the trunk.

87a - The other side of the black wire heading towards the front of the car

you have to do a 5 wire relay do it like this 30 to trunk motor 87a switch side 86 +12 fused with 87 and 85 from your alarm output

okay... i think i got it.......i hope u can understand where im coming from.....

the trunk release in your car is not powered directly from a relay already inside your car... it is powered solely thru the switch..... therefore..... u must install the relay in order for your system to control that function of the car.... most cars have a trunk release button that triggers a relay in the car and handles this for u... but because yours doesn't.. your alarm cannot simply 'send a trigger just to the switch'... your alarm must work 'thru the switch'.....

i still don't completely understand all of the theory when it comes to this part of installing... but this is they way my mind understands it.... i hope it helps.......i gotta do more research or acutally pay attention when somebody starts talking about how relays work...lol

Thanks for all the input everyone . I will try tommorrow.I need to go to relay school 101.Now I am second guessing myself if I have the right wire for the trunk.... I will make sure I fuse EVERTHING before final install. has anyone ever reprogramed the new camry keys.Dealer wants 133.50 to program two keys for imobiliser

there should be a gray 25 ping plug to the right of the fuse box(if you have factory pin under the hood) it should be pin number 2 it maybe red but am not sure double check with your meter

where would the factory pin be if installed I looked all over
