Remote Starter Integration for the 2007 Toyota Camry equipped with the Smart Key System with Push Button Start

1.0 Material required:

- Remote Car Starter - Xpresskit : XK05-PKT2 or Bypasskit :PKT2 - One 5-wire relay for auto lamp circuit

Key required for programming: 1

Average installation time: 2.5 hours

Difficulty level: Medium

2.0 Preparation: 

-Remove the driver’s side under dash, as well as the knee airbag bolts. Move the Airbag aside, but DO NOT DISCONNECT the Airbag connector in order to avoid setting any vehicle codes.

-Remove the driver’s side floor heating duct, in order to access the vehicle IMI & IMO wires easily.

3.0 Installation: 

The remote car starter will be installed in a conventional manner even if the car is equipped with the Smart Key “Push-to-Start” system.

3.01 Main Ignition Harness Connection: 

Most of the connections will be done behind the Fuse box. This fuse box is located under the driver side underdash.

Also, the vehicle’s TACH wire can be found inside vehicle, as per diagram below and it is suggested to use this wire for the remote start tach source. The remote start hood pin switch wire is the only wire which must be run into the engine compartment for safety.

Accessory (+): White

Ignition 1 (+): Pink

Ignition 2 (+): Light Green

Starter (+): Grey

Tach: Black

 

3.02 Wiring location for the Bypasskit XK‐05 PKT2: 

The connection for the XK05-PKT2 will be done on the driver side under dash. The wires required are from a 5 wires harness coming from behind the heater module, high above the gas pedal near the firewall. The five wires in this harness are as follows:

Blue: transponder IMI (Immobilizer in) wire, which gets cut in two and wired in series. The bottom-half wire connects to the kits Violet/White wire and the top-half wire connects the kits Violet wire.

Green: transponder IMO (Immobilizer out) wire, which gets wired in parallel with the kits Orange wire.

White/Black, White & Orange…these wire are not used for installation

The GREEN LED output wire from the XK05-PKT2 is not required for this installation. The vehicle LED does come on during remote start.

 

3.03 Wiring location for door locks and factory alarm control: 

The wires to control the factory alarm and the door locks are located behind the driver’s kick panel. These wires must receive negative pulses.

It is mandatory to disarm the OEM alarm system before remote start sequence

Grey Unlock Wire: A double pulse unlock (-) output is required to disarm and unlock all doors. The first unlock (-) pulse disarms OEM alarm and unlocks driver’s door, the second pulse will unlock all other doors.

In order to disarm the OEM alarm when remote starting, this GREY wire requires a pulse before start, which unlocks the driver’s door. So, if the remote systems unlock output does offer a pulse before start, then connect both the unlock and disarm (-) output wires to the vehicle’s GREY unlock wire.

Brown Lock Wire: In order to lock and arm the OEM alarm system a (-) pulse is required for the vehicle’s BROWN lock wire. If the vehicle’s ignition on the alarm will not arm, if locking with remote.

3.04 Wiring location for Parking lights and Auto lamp Shutdown: 

The wires to control the parking lights and the Auto lamp circuit are located at the light switch on the steering column.

Parking Lights (-): Black

Auto Lamp Circuit (+): GREEN - With the use of a relay, opening the AUTO LAMP circuit momentarily ensures the vehicle’s head lamps do not stay on after remote start shut-down sequence. If this is not done the head lamps will remain on for a period of 10-20 minutes and could lead to a battery discharge situation. Please relay configuration below for proper connection:

Pin 85: Rearm (-)

Pin 86: +12 volt

Pin 30: Green wire connector side

Pin 87a: Green wire Switch side

Pin 87: not used
