    Hi everyone,

    I have an auto page remote start installed in my car. At the moment I do not have the model number etc, but I can get it if necessary. It is a simple remote start not an alarm. A quick overview of the car is, the remote start is installed with a small box that will bypass/emulate the cars security (I forgot the name of the box). The factory alarm is untouched and works as normal.

    The remote start always worked great for several years (2 1/2). One day, one of the key fobs just died. It was not used very much, but even though the LED lit up, it would not start the car. Tried swapping batterys etc. Nothing. One of the fobs still worked fine. Nothing was done to the car that should have caused this.

    A few weeks ago I wired up my HID's and I have to reset an area of the BCM so that it would not flash the head lights when I lock it. If im not mistaken the remote start still was working but im not 100%. Cant remember >:|
    The next few days I found a write up to wire the headlight flash to the running lights. The info can be found by clicking this text. Everything went smooth and it worked great. I had to re-enable the BCM to give the headlight flash.

    Ever since I did this the remote start has not worked. At all. Right in front of the antenna even with the key fob even. My next step would be to try to replace the key fob and re-program the new one. This may be the problem. I have made sure that nothing came loose (as far as I can tell). I even tried reversing the headlight re-wire and it did not fix the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Comments? Anything to help me troubleshoot this is appreciated. I have been trying to find the info of the person that installed it for me, but I believe the person does not live/service my area anymore.

    Also, I found this for sale. I'm thinking of purchasing it to see if it helps. http://www.ebay.com/itm/AutoPage-XT-...3f6bcd&vxp=mtr

    Thank you very much!
