Depends which remote you are trying to program.


Procedure for GQ43VT7T remotes:


1) With the key OUT of the ignition switch, locate and disconnect the power mirror control switch from the vehicle harness.(with tiny screwdiver you are able to take out the mirror switch control panel)

2) Use a suitable jumper wire (paper clip works), and connect terminal 2 (Purple wire) to terminal 10 (White/Black wire).

The vehicle will cycle the locks once to confirm programming mode.

3) Press and release any button on the remote.

The vehicle will cycle the locks once to confirm code received.

4) Program additional remotes by repeating step 3

5) Disconnect the jumper to exit programming mode.

6) Reconnect and reinstall the mirror switch


Procedure for BAB237131-022 (BLACK) unit:

First, some background info. You will need to find the ECU for the
alarm/keyless RS3000 system. Mine is under the drivers seat. Looking at the side with the connectors on
it, there is a small button or hole on the right-hand side. you will need to
press the button or insert a paper clip into the hole to press the switch
inside, following the instructions below. The Status Monitor is the the Red LED
light on the dash that says "security" under it. This procedure seems quite
simple, although the manual still advises one to contact a dealer to do it. It
sure isn't worth $76! Be sure that you follow the procedure exactly or there is
a chance that you might mess up the programming of the original remote. If that
happens, just follow the procedure again to add the remote back to the system.

1. Insert key into the ignition switch and turn to "ON".

2. Press and hold the ECU's programming switch for 3 seconds.
The Status Monitor LED turns on for 5 seconds.

YOU MUST PERFORM THE NEXT STEP WITHIN 5 SECONDS!

3. Press and release the remote control's top or bottom button (whichever one
you want to operate the system).
The Status Monitor LED turns off.
The Piezo "chirper" chirps once.
The exterior lights flash once.

4. Turn off the ignition. The ECU will now operate with the remote just
programmed.

are those the only two fcc numbers, and will that work for a 98 camry?

98 Camry has 2 types of remotes:

Dealer/Port installed is a gray oval shaped unit with FCC BAB237131-022. (color gray is important)

the Factory installed remote is the blank rectangle shaped unit, with FCC GQ43VT7T (has red panic button).
