I just bought the remote starter the other day from Best Buy and should have just paid them to do the install but I decided to try it for my own experience. I've been installing turbo timers, stereo and other electronics into cars but this is something new to me. There's a lot of wires! Not sure where to start. I'll be starting the project tomorrow but need some inputs before I start. Has anyone done this on a 95 to 97 corolla yet? I would really appreciate for some help. Thanks ------------- 97 Corolla

On the 97 Corolla, the wire diagram said that the Ignition wire is suppose to be the Black wire. I don't see that wire. Also, the Pink/White wire for the Ignition 2, can that just be tap in with the Pink Ignition output wire? Also which wire is the Accessory wire in the steering column? I hope this makes sense to all of you. I just want to find some answer for one connector at a time....Thanks ------------- 97 Corolla

it should have two ignition wires the primary one is black with a yellow stripe. the second one is black with an orange stripe if there is no solid black one. accessory is blue with a red stripe. your two ingition outputs from your remote starter need to connect to their respective two ignition wires in the ignition harness.

Ckeeler, another question. My Corolla does not have factory alarm but the H1 connector says to tap the light GREEN/ black wire to factory alarm disarm and GREEN / WHITE to factory armed. Do I need to use that two wires?

those 2 wires wont be used on your install. i dont know of any corolla that has a factory security system anyway. but if it did your car would disarm on unlock anyway. thats how some toyotas disarm.

By the way, I am doing the install for this car not because I'm lazy but it's my wife's car. She's pregnant and I don't want her to go out side in the cold to start the car in the winter.... Thank you very much for your help!

how much did you pay for the remote start? all the alarms/remote starts that my best buy sells includes installation.

I bought it without the install bc I thought it's only 5 or 6 wires I need to hook up  There's more wires than I can imagine so I stumble on my installation. Anyways, without the installation, I paid 49.99 for it. ------------- 97 Corolla

You wont need any of those wires to make your vehicle start. you only have 2 ignitions, 1 start, and 1 accessory. the wires you ask about simply wont be used for your install.

Ok, here is my progress...
I finished connecting the heavy gauge relay wiring:
Pink---(+) (30 AMP) Output to Ignition Circuit (Primary)
Purple-(+) (30 AMP) Output to Starter Circuit
Orange-(+) (30 AMP) Output to Accessory Circuit
Red----(+) (30A) High Current 12v Input
Pink/White (+) Programmable Output for Ignition Circuit (Secondary)
Red----(+) (30A) High Current 12v Input
I wasn't sure where the pink/white wire go so I connect that to the secondary Ignition wire. Is that right?
I have the following left to connect....
Remote Start Harness (H2)
BLACK/ White----- (-) Neutral Safety switch input
Violet/White---- Tachometer Input wire
Brown----------- (+) Brake switch Shutdown wire
Gray------------ (-) Hood pinswitch Shutdown wire
Blue/White------ (-) 200mA 2nd status/rear defogger output
4 Pin satellite harness
Blue------------ Status Output
Orange---------- Accessory Trigger
Purple---------- Starter Trigger
Pink------------ Ignition Trigger
Primary Harness (H1)
Light GREEN/ black------Factory Alarm Disarm
GREEN / WHITE------------Factory Rearm
Yellow-----------------(+) Ignition out (to alarm)
WHITE/ blue-------------(-) Activation input
Gray/black-------------(-) Wait to Start input
WHITE/ Red--------------(+) Activation Input
RED / White-------------- Channel 2(Validity Only)
Black------------------Ground
White------------------(+/-) Light Flash
For the Primary Harness, I don't think I'll need to use the first three wires since the 97 Corolla don't have an alarm from factory and also I don't think I'll need the wait to start input wire since it's a fuel injected. Not diesel. What about the RED / White Channel 2 wire?
I just want to thanks for those that are trying to help the brotha here out. Thanks a bunch guys.

Remote Start Harness (H2)
BLACK/ White----- (-) Neutral Safety switch input--------------ground it
Primary Harness (H1)
Light GREEN/ black------Factory Alarm Disarm--------- not used
GREEN / WHITE------------Factory Rearm---------------- not used
Yellow-----------------(+) Ignition out (to alarm)-- not used
WHITE/ blue-------------(-) Activation input--------- not used
Gray/black-------------(-) Wait to Start input------ not used
WHITE/ Red--------------(+) Activation Input--------- not used
RED / White-------------- Channel 2(Validity Only)---- trunk release
Black------------------Ground----------------------- ground
White------------------(+/-) Light Flash------------ parking lights
if your toyota has the lever you pull to pop the trunk, then nevermind the channel 2. if you can open the trunk with a switch then it's doable.
