Remote Start
okay everyone just bought a remote start off ebay and i just need a wiring diagram for the ignition system.... i can figure out how to get to it under the dash and probably remove it, i just would prefer to have the wiring diagram before i start this mod. that way i dont have to keep going in and out with the ignition... anyone got one that they can provide to me? the other wires run to the brake light switch(on the pedal), door trigger(not really sure what this does), the power windows(in the door), the remote trunk switch(under the dash) horn(under the dash) and dome light(using the door sensor) can anyone help?

Uggh.
Please use the search function here. This has been asked beyond thousands of times.
First, the fact that you are asking for a diagram of the "Ignition System" scares the hell out of me. A remote start does tie into the ignition system. You may send 12volt+ to a true/second/second true ignition, starter/second starter etc, but we are never interfacing with the ignition system per se.
Additionally, you say that you don't even know what the door trigger wire is.
While I am all for DIY work and modifications, as a professional in the 12 volt field I cannot condone DIY'ers messing with the electrical systems of their cars. TOO many cars have come to me because "a friend" said they could install their remote start/alarm because either they stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night or because they read on the interwebs how easy it is. And I drop the dash only to find a rats nest of untaped wires. Live wires left unshielded and very dangerous unfused 12 volt connections.
Without basic understanding of the circuitry in your car the only result you can truly count on is a lot of non working devices in your car and a non working remote start/alarm.
I won't even get into the potential for serious damage.

why do you assume my friend or i are installing it? its actually best buy who is. he couldn't find any of the wires and the wires weren't matching to his diagrams either. so i figured i would try the best place for lexus. but if i keep getting shot down like this whats the point of this site? i did try the search, multiple times with different wordings to see if i was just calling it something wrong but to no avail. so instead of ugghing me how about helping me? im tired of my car being at best buy.

My post wasn't even a response to you. I usually don't respond to thread jackers.
Next, if the installer at Best Buy "can't find the wires" you have even bigger problems.

I apologize then. I failed to look at the date of the original post.
The info for the 95-96 is correct on the12volt.com. You can also use bulldogsecurity.com for reference.
But I am very concerned that your installer at Best Buy "can't find the wires"!!!! It seriously alarms me when an installer says he can't find a wire. Any marginal installer with a DMM should be able to find the wires on this car, it is a rather easy car to do.
You may want to consider getting your car out of best buy and taking it somewhere that you can be confident in. Since the installer is having this difficulty I am not confident that any of his work would be safe or correct.
