System Identification











The table contains all of the necessary information to correctly identify the type of system installed, and where to go to get programming procedures for each vehicle.

NOTE:
Should a vehicle having both VIP and Factory systems available (as identified in the following table) be brought in without any remotes (or one non-working remote), use the following tips to help determine which type of wireless system (O.E. or PIO/PIO) the vehicle has.

^ Look at the Trim Level of the vehicle. Higher-grade vehicles will tend to have O.E. systems, while entry-grade vehicles will tend to have VIP For example, the 2001 Camry XLE has Factory RKE, but the LE and CE grades have VIP.

^ Look for a "Status Monitor" with a glass breakage sensor and an LED externally installed into the dashboard or on the center console. Most VIP systems will have this.

^ Locate the ECU (refer to the applicable vehicle VIP Manual installation instructions for location). Once located, refer to the part label.

^ Attempt to perform the factory wireless programming procedure to get a response from the vehicle. Select the "confirmation mode" and see if any "Lock/Unlock" response is received, if so, the vehicle has a factory system.
