just installed a remote start w alarm in my camry now the automatic headlights dont timer off w the new unit but still do with the factory keyless entry fob...any body have any ideas ?
You need to pulse (-) the door pin/switch on the driver's side. Use the rearm (-) output wire and connect to the door sensor wire (in small two wire harness behind driver's door sensor). This will trick the Camry into thinking you've gotten out of the car and it can start the headlight countdown timer.
Also, program the r/s brain to rearm after remote shut down.

The search function is your friend.
There are other ways as well. Break the auto light wire with a relay, using ground while running to trigger the relay. This way the auto lights will never get power......till you get into the car.
The auto light wire is white, and it's found @ the switch. between a couple of RED / striped wires.
OR you can trigger the relay with the lock pulse, breaking the auto light wire shutting them off when you lock it.
On the relay (after finding the auto light wire) put the switch side to pin 30, and the car side to pin 87a. 12v to 86, and nothing on 87. Depending on wich method you choose, pin 85 will get the negative trigger from the R/S unit.
If you choose the lock method, you MUST diode isolate the wire feeding the relay, and the lock wire on the car. BOTH diodes, the cathode will face the R/S unit.
If you use the ground while running method, just put your "status" wire to pin 85
