Can you tell us the part number for the scion security that you installed? I think there was an 05 and an 06 edition, maybe you got the newer one by mistake. I cant really think of anything else that might be wrong, btw I too installed my OEM security system and it was a pain. Spent 2 hours just trying to undo one plastic piece.

I bet i know what your problem is. You say that with the key turned to the accessory position the unlock work but not lock right? You can't lock your doors from the switch either because it's a feature that Toyota puts in their cars so you don't lock your keys in the car. With that said it sounds like you have your Constant and Ignition wires swapped. I don't think the alarm/keyless is getting power when the car is off. Check the wiring and I'll bet that's the issue.
