What wires from the Remote Start, do you have connected to, what wires on the Camry? Automatic or manual??
What type/brand of bypass are you using?
Did you solder the connections? ------------- When all else fails, Read the Instructions

All wires should be located and verified using a Digital Multi Meter. All connections should be properly soldered and insulated. You will also need a bypass module if you car is equipped with a transponder immobilizer system ( most are). Here is a link to the DEI PKALL bypass module : https://www.xpresskit.com/product.aspx?productid=196

Right now it's all disconnected. I have a automatic and I don't have a by pass should I get one or can I do it without one? And I will solder when I'm done and know I have the right connections

Here is a link to an older Viper 5901 Install Guide : https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/file.asp?ID=741 Your 5901 could have some differences with the H2 connector if it is of the newer style. Wire color and name / description are still the same.
For an automatic vehicle, the Neutral Safety Switch wire connects to Chassis Ground.
DEI and Bulldog Security both have this info on the 4 Cyl Tach Wire : On the 4 cylinder motor use the black wire in the gray plug at the coil on the drivers side of the motor. NOTE #4; on the 4-Cylinder engine the BLACK wire is in a GRAY CONNECTOR located on the COIL, drivers side of the engine.
AudioVox has this Tach wire info : Tachometer YELLOW/RED (AC) AT IGNITION COIL
It is possible that Pin 9 of the OBD2 connector, if Black, could be a Tach source. Verify the Tach signal with a DMM set to 20V AC, Red lead to the Tach wire and Black lead to chassis ground. You should get between 0.6 and 5V which will rise with RPMs. ------------- Soldering is fun!

If your ignition key has a transponder chip, then you need a bypass. A simple test is to get a plain metal key made at the hardware store for $1.99 and try it. If the car starts and runs, you don't need a bypass. ( if it doesn't start and run, you still have a safe, spare door key to hide under the bumper...)

I hooked up all the wire but the blue status wire, and should I hook the tach wire to the yellow/red or the black? I tryed black and it won't start it says" remote start error" and then the control module starts clicking.

Did you change the Vipers programming to Tach Mode?
Did you change the Vipers programming to Automatic Transmission? Menu 3, Item 1, Option 2
Did you do the Tach Learn process?
Is the Neutral Safety Switch connected and in the ON position?
Are there any LED error blinks with shutdown diagnostics?
Try a remote start with a working ignition key in the the switch, but not turned.

A bit late on this but the best place for tach would be the gauges, tach lead or if present, diagnostic socket, pin 9.

If the control module is clicking, are you getting any flashes from the parking lights? If yes, how many flashes?

If your car does not need a transponder bypass, use the Vipers' Blue (-) Status Output wire for the Keysense signal :
Keysense blue/black (-) @ ignition harness
Viper Option Programming 1. Open a door. (The GREEN wire, H1/8, or the VIOLET, H1/6 must be connected.) 2. Turn the ignition on, then off. (The heavy gauge PINK wire must be connected.) 3. Select a Menu. Press and HOLD the Valet/Program switch. (After 3 seconds the siren will chirp once. Continue holding the button. The siren will chirp twice, continue holding the button.) Hold the button until the Siren chirps 3 times, indicating Menu 3. 4. Select a Feature. Press and release the Valet/Program switch the number of times corresponding to the feature you wish to change. For example, to access the third feature, press and release 3 times. Then press the button once more and HOLD it. The siren chirps the number of times equal to the feature you have accessed. For Transmission Mode, press the button once, then press and hold the button until the siren chirps once. 5. Program the Feature. While holding the Valet/Program switch, you can toggle the feature on and off using the remote control. Pressing the button that arms the system selects the options in increasing order.. Pressing the button that disarms the system selects the options in descending order. Pressing the button that activates the remote start resets the feature to the factory default. Press the ARM button to select the second option (Auto Trans).
To access another feature in the same menu: 1. Press and release the Valet/Program switch the number of times necessary. Press Once for Menu 3, Item 2 - Engine Checking. 2. Then press the Valet/Program switch once more and hold it. Siren chirps twice. 3. Press and hold the button and then press the ARM button 3 or 4 times to get to Option 4 - Tach Mode. 4. Release the Valet/program switch.
The program routine exits if any of the following occurs: • The open door is closed • The ignition is turned On • There is no activity for 30 seconds • The Valet/Program switch is pressed too many times ------------- Soldering is fun!

530t x 2 wired directly to the window motors. Fed by the orange GWA wire and an aux to vent, or to simply close then 2 x 529t.

So I remote started it and it worked fine when I hoped in I stuck the key an turned it to the on position before touching the brake but as soon as I touched the brake peddle the car shut off and my alarm froze cause the remote wouldn't start,lock,unlock or anything to the car and the valet switch wasn't blinking any more no matter what I tried. So I un hocked all the remote start wires from my car and reconnected them to the right spot and my car still won't start at all???

Did you cut the cars Starter wire when you installed the Viper unit? It is the Red wire at the ignition harness. If you removed the Viper, you will need to re-connect this wire to start the car.

Ha so I fixed that problem after ripping out my whole alarm system found out it was just a fuse (which I checked them all the night before but I guess I missed it cause it was dark) so I reinstalled everything AGAIN (alot easier the second time)
But when I lock my car about 5-10 mins later the shock sensor goes off and nothing it touching my car. Any ideas?
Oh and when I lock my car with the key or with the stock lock/unlock button in the car should it arm the alarm?
Thank you for any help

Locking with the key or the stock lock/unlock button will not arm the alarm. The arm command must come through the 5901 brain.
Alarm going off?? I would try pulling all of the fuses for 10 minuets, maybe more. My 5701 acted funny after I let the truck battery drain down to dead. No matter what I did the 5701 would not ACT normal until I disconnected all of the harness for 30 minutes. Reconnected everything and it was back to like it was before the battery drain. ------------- When all else fails, Read the Instructions
