I'm new here and want to run this buy the "experts" so that I don't fry something in my car and/or module.

I'm installing an Avital 2101L keyless entry system on a 2009 base model camry (manual transmission, although I don't think it matters). I want to be able to unlock/lock all the doors (either progressive or all at once, it doesn't really matter to me), the domelight to come on when unlocking, and I want to be able to have both a parking light and horn chirp confirmation of locking and unlocking.

I've been researching how to connect the module, but I'm not sure I have it right. Would really appreciate it if a few could review and help me where I may be going wrong.

H1/3 and H1/4 domelight supervision wires: Not really necessary, as the car's domelight already comes on when unlocked correctly. If you'd like to verify this, just unlock the door from the outside with the key.

H1/10 parking lights: If you should leave the car's switch in the "Auto" position, the car's black negative parking light wire becomes disabled and your light flash won't work. Instead, use the brown wire that's in the harness that runs along the driver's doorsill; positive trigger. (You should always test before connecting, but it should be the biggest brown wire in that harness.)

Doorlocks:

The correct wires in the car are brown (lock) and gray (unlock). In the driver's kick panel, you can clearly see that the wires coming in from the driver's door go into two plugs. The brown and gray are side-by-side in the smaller of the two plugs.

These wires will test as a ground whenever you turn the key back and forth in the driver's exterior door lock. (Don't use any wires that are connected to the rocker switch on the interior door panel; they don't turn on the domelight.)

1. Your GREEN/ black lock output should be connected to the car's brown wire.

2. Your blue/black unlock output, AND your H1/2 blue second-unlock output should BOTH (yes, both of them together) be connected to the car's gray wire.

HOW IT WORKS: When you press Unlock on the Avital transmitter once, the blue/black pulses the car's gray wire, unlocking the driver's door and turning on the domelight. When you press Unlock a second time, the Avital's blue second-unlock wire pulses the car's gray wire, unlocking the other three doors.

Everything else you listed looks good.

P.S. If its only a basic keyless entry (you're not doing remote starter, starter kill, alarm, etc), you don't always have to go right to the steering column to find those other wires.

I'm pretty sure you can find constant and ignition at some of the heavier wires in the driver's kick panel, and most likely the horn will be the same color at the driver's fuse box.

Except for the horn, you can even do the entire install right in the kick panel without even taking the dash off: Constant, ignition, lock, unlock, and ground in the kick panel, parking lights in the doorsill.

Thanks a bunch for the help, Chris.

I ended up making the following connections, and it all worked great. I also used a tip I saw you posted elsewhere about taping the antennae to a zip tie to keep it straight.
