The moulding around the ignition lock pulls out but first pull out the illuminating bezel around the barrel. Once these are removed and you have access to the ignition lock, you should see a small connector at the base of the ignition lock (6 o'clock) very near the front. The connector has two black wires (with two white stripes). If this is unplugged then the auto function will not work. If it is in then either it is faulty, disconnected up stream or simply been de-programmed and so move to Option 1.
The million dollar question now is, on a '99 gs300 how do you remove that connector without damaging or destroying it? I do not see any type of visible anchor to release.

my search result shows several products available ranging from $20.00 to $3000.00. What product do you recommend? If you can provide a web link to the product, that would be great!
