Programming a 2001 Camry LE w/ aftermarket alarm

OK-

I'm trying to program another keyless entry remote for a 2001 Camry LE, which I occasionally drive. It has an aftermarket alarm (Chapman) that was installed by the dealer and is integrated into the keyless entry/locking system. Frankly - it's about the stupidest alarm I've ever seen, and my father got it because he thought it would reduce the insurance rate (yeah right).

I've seen a couple of different instructions. One seems to be a sequence of using the key and opening/closing the driver door - supposedly for the 2002 version. That didn't seem to work.

The other involves sequence uses the key, drivers door, and drivers door lock/unlock button. The aftermarket alarm is enabled when the locks are enabled, the siren goes off when I open the door, and I can't continue.

Anyone know? Or perhaps something about the aftermarket alarm altered the programming sequence?

I have a new Subaru, and the instructions are right in the owners manual.

If this car had factory keyless entry before the alarm was added you'll need to locate and disconnect the aftermarket alarm brain--usually behind the left kick panel or the lower dash panel below the steering column.

Once you've disconnected the Mickey alarm, do the second of the two procedures you've tried--should work, the 1st procedure won't work on pre-02 Camrys.
