2009 Toyota Corolla Remote Start Vehicle Prep

By Rob Elliott – Executive Director, In Car Experts (ICE)

Michael Harootunian of AudioMax shows us the tricks, the vehicle break down process and wire locations for a remote start install in a 2009 Corolla.

1. First, remove the lower dash cover. This panel pulls straight off with only clips holding in on.

2. Remove the lower steering column shroud. Two clips hold the lower and upper shroud together.

3. Locate all the appropriate ignition (positive) wiring. Be sure to test all the wires with a  digital multi-meter first.

4. Main power (positive) wire is located at the front of the fuse block on the left side. Heavy-gauge blue wire.

5. Pink and Blue door lock (negative pulse) wires are found behind the drivers kick panel.

6. The white plug to the left of the steering column contains the white (negative) parking light wire.

7. This helps see the foot brake (positive) wire. It is located in the big harness, second from the left in the front of the main fuse block.

8. In the OBDII plug, the gray (AC) tach wire is found.
