I bought a 97 camry with no remote only a key but there is a thing on the left of the steering wheel that says "toyota security" and it has an led light and a mic. (the led does not light up) i followed the led's wire and it lead me to a box under the dash that says "toyota vip control unit. Electronic security system" I know its an alarm but why doesent it work when i lock the doors? I tried looking for a valet button but theres none? Is this a factory installed alarm or an aftermarket? what can i do|||It's a factory installed Alarm System. The VIP is an upgrade unit.
If it didn't come with a Remote or Fob then it's pretty much useless. I don't know if you could even buy a Remote for a '97.
I would just take it in somewhere and get a new Alarm installed.|||The original owner of the car did not wish to be ripped off by paying 450. dollars for an alarm system that you can buy elsewhere for 100., so the dealer disabled the factory system.
You SHOULD have the transmitter which would unlock the doors remotely though.
