keyless remote/security 99 Camry

[Green Machine 95]

I just got my Camry and the owner has lost the keyless remotes and he said on the remote was a good security system? Does anyone know any info about this, and where I can get a remote?


Thank You

[WickedNYCowboy]

Probably the dealer if it was from the factory. Personally I wouldn't have bought the car without the remotes. But it will get annoying to hurry to get the alarm before it goes off when opening with the keys. I'd shut the alarm off for the time being. I shut mine off because it started going off randomly and got annoying having the cops drag you out of bed to shut it off.

why wouldnt u buy a camry without a keyless entry?

what type of alarm system is it? what does it do?

[ballenm04]

I had the same thing. When I bought my 97 camry the remote was lost. I bought a new one over ebay for 25.00 with the istructions on how to program it. I wouldhighly recomend doing this cause the dealer will charge over 100.00 for you to buy and program when it only takes 2 minutes to do it. you need the remote with a FCC ID#GQ43VT14T here is a sight that is selling it for cheap. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

All that you have to do is push a green button on the side of the "brain" which is located under the driver's seat. hold that down untill the security light by the steering wheel starts to blink then push the remote button in front of the blinking light and then your remote is programmed.

Hope that I was of help.

hey Ballenm04, that sounds like a great deal and easy to program. But does that program an alarm too? I am new with the camrys, so could you tell me what will the keyless entry do as far as alarm for my car? Thanks

First off is the alarm factory? if it is then keyless entry will allow you to lock and unlock your doors from the remote when the doors lock then the alarm is set. when the alarm is set and a door is open then the horn will begin to go off along with the lights flashing. If it is a aftermarket alarm then I have no clue on what to do cause my alarm is factory and well that is all that I know how to program. if you have any other questions just reply to this or if you want faster respose then email me at [email protected] i check that more often.
to tell if the alarm is factory just look under the driver seat and if you see a little black or grey box that has a small button on the side (the "brain") then you have a factory alarm. also to double check me just look for the FCC ID# on the "brain" it should match the one that I said earlier in the thread.

[Green Machine 95]

yes, my car has a factory alarm, that is pretty cool how the alarm works. I will order the keyless entries, thank you!

[ballenm04]

STart your own thread - don't revive a zombie!

[raschlei]

I also have a 97 camry with a factory installed alarm. I purchased a remote off of ebay with the same FCC ID as the current one I have. I attempted to program it with the instructions above with no luck. The only thing I thought was odd is that FCC ID on the black box underneath the driver's seat doesn't match my new remote, but like I said before the FCC ID is the same for both the new remote and old remote. Any ideas anyone?

PROGRAMMING ADDITIONAL or REPLACEMENT TRANSMITTERS


Each SECURIKEY+ system can be operated by up to four (4) different
SECURIKEY+ transmitters. The system is supplied from the factory with two
(2) transmitters included, and additional transmitters are available through
parts distribution. Any new or replacement transmitters will need to be
programmed to the main control module before they will activate the system.
The SECURIKEY+ main control module uses a six (6) channel radio frequency
receiver; each channel controlling a different function of the SECURIKEY+
system. Each transmitter button can be programmed to only one of the
receiver channels (e.g., the GREEN button cannot be programmed to operate
the headlight feature and remote start option; it can operate only one or
the other feature). The following is a list of each receiver channel, and
the function of each channel.


CHANNEL # FEATURE CONTROLLED BY THIS CHANNEL
1 Lock
2 Unlock
3 Trunk Release (optional kit required; not available on all models)
4 30 second headlight activation (only if required by GREEN button)
5 Remote panic (only if required by GREEN button instead of LOCK
button)
6 Remote start (optional kit required; not available on all models)


To program new or additional transmitters, or when adding options to
existing SECURIKEY+ transmitters, follow the step by step programming
instructions found below. When programming, it is important to complete each
step of the procedure within 15 seconds, or the system will terminate the

I've solved my problem, finally. I've called up Gulf State Toyota Online Technical Service and they helped me out.
To erase keyless remote you can do it separately. So you do not need to clear every remote from the main module you can do it individually.
Method:
Go to program mode: ignition key on, push red switch 6 times (3 in and out cycle) 1 short beep.
Push and hold lock and green bottom simultaneously, long beep. Do it 4 times...... you deleted the lock key from main module
push red switch twice (one in and out cycle) 2 short beeps.
Push and hold unlock and green bottom simultaneously, long beep. Do it 4 times...... you deleted the unlock key from main module
push red switch twice (one in and out cycle) 3 short beeps.
Push and hold lock and unlock bottom simultaneously, long beep. Do it 4 times...... you deleted the green key from main module

Turn the ignition key off ... Exiting program mode. Long beep and a short one.

Go to program mode: ignition key on, push red switch 6 times (3 in and out cycle) 1 short beep.
Reprogram your remote as written in the manual:
1. Push lock key... long beep means the module accepted it
2. Push red switch twice (one in and out cycle) 2 short beeps.
3. Push unlock key .. long beep means the module accepted it
4. Push red switch twice (one in and out cycle) 3 short beeps.
5. Push green key .. long beep means the module accepted it
6. Turn the ignition key off... exiting program mode.. long and a short beep.

Now you can try to push lock key... it should work fine.

I hope I can help other people by this! By the way the people of the Gulf Toyota Dealership are very friendly and helpfully. They will help anybody out for sure!

Remote programming

If a Camary is the same as a Camry - this is the procedure for the 2002-2005 models:


1. Start with the following conditions: You are in the drivers seat.
a. Key is out of the ignition
b. Driver door is open (all other doors closed)
c. Driver door is unlocked (other doors don't matter)
2. Insert and remove the key from the ignition twice within 5 seconds.
3. Close and open the drivers door twice within 40 seconds.
4. Insert the key into the ignition and remove it.
5. Close and open the drivers door twice within 40 seconds.
6. Insert the key into the ignition.
7. Close the door
8. Turn the key in the ignition on and then off.
9. Remove the key from the ignition.
10. The power locks should automatically cycle once to indicate that you have successfully entered program mode.
11. Within 40 seconds of the entering program mode.
a. press both transmitter lock and unlock buttons SIMULTANEOUSLY for a duration of from 1 to 1.5 seconds.
b. within 3 seconds, press the transmitter lock button for more than 1 second and release.
c. If the transmitter has been sucessfully programmed, the power locks will automatically cycle once. If they cycle twice, the remote has not been accepted.
d. If multiple remotes are to be programmed, repeat steps A-C.
12. Open the driver's door.

Program Remote for 2002 Camry (and perhaps other Toyotas with same remote)
1. Start with the key out of the ignition, driver door open and unlocked
2. Insert the key and take it out - twice within 5 seconds
3. Close and open the driver door - twice within 40 seconds
4. Jump out and run around the car once as fast as you can (optional)
5. Insert the key and take it out – once
6. Close and open the driver door - twice within 40 seconds
7. Insert the key and close the driver door
8. Turn the ignition to “On” hold it for 1 second, turn to “Off” (for “Add” mode)
9. Remove the key
10. Hold down both “Lock” and “Unlock” at the same time for one second
11. Press “Lock” within 3 seconds.
(If the signal was recognized the locks will cycle once, if not they will cycle twice.)

You can program a maximum of 4 remotes. Do a fifth and you’ll loose the first.

To see how many are programmed: on step 7 switch between on and off (holding 1 sec in each position) 3 times. The locks will cycle once for each remote that is programmed.

To erase all programmed remotes: on step 7 switch between on and off (holding 1 sec in each position) 2 times. (Say if you are replacing a lost or stolen remote)

To erase all programmed remotes and disable the remote key entry system all together: on step 7 switch between on and off (holding 1 sec in each position) 5 times.





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



Here is a way for programming a remote for a 2000 Avalon. This method should work for 2001 Avalon also.

Key out
Driver door open and unlocked
Insert key into ignition and pull out
Lock then unlock the power locks from the master switch 5 times
Close and then open the driver's door
Lock then unlock the power locks from the master switch 5 times
Insert the key into the ignition and turn to ON then OFF, then remove key
Locks should cycle - If they don't repeat
Press both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the remote simultaneously for 1 second
Immediately after letting go of the two buttons, press the LOCK button for 2 seconds
The locks should then cycle once. If they cycle twice, try again.
Close the driver door

raschlei, what part of "STart your own thread - don't revive a zombie!" didn't you understand?

Then again, you were rewarded for your efforts, so who am I to point that out.

sorry man, I just googled 97 camry remote and this is what came up, must have missed that post.
