well i got around o cutting all the wires ,leaving only the 3 necessary ones.(no go).. a new head unit now resides in the old hole . i have now 2 cd players only the original one is disconnected and is just being used to fill the double din hole. thanks for all your help and suggestions.

theres approx six or 7 wires coming from the power plug section. the 2nd plug is the speaker wires. 2 of the wires ive checked are the ignition on and the constant 12 volts. one of them i assume would be the electric antenna. another possibly the earth wire. i will have another go on the weekend and try to cut all the other wires off to see if that fixes the prob. the other wires i can only assume are the ones sending or disconnecting its security info . cant hurt to try as its pretty easy to get it out to play around with it. it bugs me when i cannot find a solution but i will continue to persist till all my options and thoughts have expired.

t5hink you might be right about that. i tried putting another wire to ignition on and did nothing to stop the prob. i also tried adding a capacitor as it drops voltage when it starts (no good either) then i thought maybe its negative losing voltage (nup) i checked all the other wires connecting to the back and a few are low voltage and when ignition fires up they drop in voltage too. so i thought bugger this i will just wire it up directly to the battery .cant possibly lose any voltage this way. it still drops out even when directly connected. so its something to do with the start up that sends a signal too it to reset itself. as you watch it it just loses all power the moment the starter kicks over. so i give up. i have another head unit in the car it replaced so when i get a chance i will try it with that. hopefully another head unit wont have the same problem if i dont use any of the existing wiring for the old unit.

my cars radio resets itself when the car starts up . it keeps its settings even whilst ignition is on. only loses them when i start it up. the battery seems very good and easily starts the car every time. would it be possible for me to attach another wire to ignition on, on the radios ignition on wire.not coming from the keyed ignition switch ,as i think its losing its connection when the car starts up from the ignition key maybe losing its contact??? or maybe this is a common fault someone knows about my car is a camry conquest 2000 model 4 cylinder auto. with a fujitsu ten cassette player and extra cd player also. the codes on the radio are 121861-225 hope thats enough info for some help. cheers guys

maybe this is the exact remote i need ? But the advert says "This remote will only work if your existing remote looks identical to the remote pictured!" as i don't have the existing remote i don't want to fork out that much money for it to be wrong. you guys who are in the know about this stuff may think i am being too cautious.

mr minit key cutting place in the shopping centre. maybe i am looking or searching wrong but i couldnt find a cheapy on ebay. the cheapest ones i found on ebay say that you need your old remote so you can program it . but i dont have the old remote. anyway this is getting to be too much effort . i think i will just stick to opening it with the key. thanks all for your help.

i was quoted 140 for a new remote. kits from china are 14 bucks

thanks guys for the help. ive looked up the pricing of those remotes and they are really expensive. however i can purchase a whole new remote locking kit for about one tenth of the car remote price . so i may do this instead. i dont know how the security system works in the car. but i cannot see a siren or immobilzer anywhere. so hopefully another remote wired in wont effect it.

hi . it is the conquest.

hopefully i am posting in correct spot. ive just purchased a xv20 camry 2000 model 4 cylinder. it has central locking but no remote? did this car come with a remote control? can i purchase a new one if so? also does it open the boot too? any help cheers bazz

hi all . glad to have stumbled upon this cool forum. just purchased a toyota camry xv20 4cylinder sedan 2000 model and have already fallen in love with it. cheers bazz
