Problem with Car Guard alarm

We had a Car Guard alarm installed in our 2001 Camry when we bought it in 2002 (the dealer chose the brand). Apparently when it was installed the valet switch wasn't put in. We lost our last remote so we took it to a Toyota dealership. They removed two fuses, but the alarm still goes off whenever we crank the engine. They did get it to where it will shut off after 30 seconds, but that's it. Where should we go to get this repaired or replaced altogether? Should we go to a Toyota dealer, or Best Buy, or where? We're in the Atlanta/Marietta, GA, area, if that helps.

You should be able to get a replacement remote from the manufacturer. the remotes are code specific and without the remote the alarm will not go into bypass mode. the remote would be a cheaper route to go than to replace the whole unit. now if the unit is obsolete than the only alternative is to replace with a more updated version or a different brand all together. when you contact the manufacturer you will need model and serial number of the unit this will help them send you the right remote for it

I accidently pressed the car alarm button on my key fob setting off the alarm on my 2002 toyota camery. Now the car will not start. Any ideas on how to fix?

You really need to read the owner's manual to ensure you know exactly how the security system operates and what to do if it doesn't.

If the car's brain thought the car was being stolen it would have armed the immobiliser. It might be possible for the owner to reset the security system or it might need the attention of the dealer.

I bought a Spy brand one-way car alarm/remote start for my wife's 09 Camry. Everything is installed, and works except for the remote start.

Installations of this nature are usually reserved for professionals. However, get out your installation manual. You will also need two single pulse double throw relays and some diodes. First you will need to locate the ground when running.This wire might be labeled " (-) third ignition". The first relay for the starter will be wired like so: starter wire to 86, fused 12 volts to 87, 30 out to vehicle second starter wire, 85 to ground when running. The second relay will be wired 86 to vehicle ignition, 87 to fused 12 volt, 30 out to second ignition, and 85 to ground when running.

Loose green wier ?

Apparently, you do not have a starter inhibit relay installed. If the loose green wire is part of the alarm, it is for the door trigger.

Horn just goes off for no reason

If you have a vehicle alarm installed the alarm module is faulty or set too sensitive. If you don't have any alarm installed there are a number of reasons for this to happen but in the end they all lead back to the ECM unit.

FACTORY ALARM CAMRY TOYOTA 2002 WENT OFF WHEN i WAS DRIVING

If your remote is attached to the key in the ignition, it could have been bumped setting off the alarm. It is also possible for the lock button to be depressed and lock the doors, if you do not notice this and get out of the car........!

The alarm is automatically set with me not even controlling it.

Go to a toyota dealer they can reprogram your settings on your car so it won't do that.

Pillar mountings for ford focus 2002 dog guard

When you brought the dog guard on the box it should tell you the make and models of the cars it will fit . Ford won't help you as thay want you to buy from them , what I can say is if the dog guard says it will fit to your car it will fit it without any special tools , if car car make and model are not on the box take it back and find one that fits your car or a universal one that fits most cars good luck colin
