SOURCE: prestige aps-57 remote start...car won't start

Hello hope this can help you. First check the starter wire, it is tan/lt blue located at the ignition harness. usualy during installation of the remote start system this wire is cut leaving you with two ends. one wire is coming from the ignition switch the other is going to the starter. the brain of the alarm hooks into both of these wires. if the repair man cut the wires from the brain and spliced them together he has just put the system back to OEM status leaving the alarm no way to engage the starter. I believe that may be where the problem lies but if not then I would say check your immobilizer bypass module the repair man mave have diconected that.

Thank you,
Luis

SOURCE: Would you recomend the Audiovox prestige APS901N

IF RANGE IS NOT IMPORTANT I SUGGEST A AUDIOVOX AS9076N . ITS AN ADD ON REMOTE START WHERE YOU WOULD PRESS
LOCK
THEN UNLOCK
THEN LOCK AGAIN ON YOUR FACTORY REMOTE AND THIS WOULD START THE CAR.
I BELIEVE THE IGNITION KEY HAS BUILT IN KEYLESS ENTRY BUTTON ON IT ALREADY. SO WHY CARRY ANOTHER REMOTE?
MOST OF AUDIOVOX MIDRANGE SYSTEMS HAVE THIS OPTION FOR ADD ON REMOTE START SYSTEMS WHERE YOU CAN USE THERE REMOTE OR TIE IT IN WITH YOUR EXSISTING REMOTE.
OTHER UNITS WILL HAVE DOUBLE LOCK OPTION TO START CAR. OR TRIPLE LOCK OPERATION.

Testimonial: "sounds like good info. Will the 9056n work the same way?"

SOURCE: I bought a car with this starter (below)and no one

There are two possiblities that could prove to be the fault; hood pin switch and remote start shutdown switch. If the vehicle is equipped with a hood shut down switch, you will need to make an adjustment to it for the remote starter to function. Search around the drivers side edges of the engine compartment for a push pin.If the pin is a stand alone it will be mounted near the headlight inserted into an existing hole. It may also be attached to a bracket. The remote start shutdown switch is a toggle switch located under the drivers side of the dash,usually to the left of the brake pedal, depending on the installation.

If nothing above solves the problem, you may need to reprogram the remote to the unit.
