    Hi Shawntel Riddle, I want to help you with your problem, but I need to know if it was an aftermarket addition or if it came equipped with the car from the dealer.

What I would say is that the circuit connecting the transponder to the ignition relay has shorted or even been fried. If you want to use your remote start again, you will need to replace the circuit . This is possible, but if you have soldered the wires from, what I assume is an aftermarket transponder, or even equipped from factory, this is not possible. If it uses a harness adapter this is possible, but will cost a lot of time and money.
My advice is to turn it on using the push start option instead.

SOURCE: car starter not working

look under the dash for a small silver toggle switch....this is a disable switch for the remote start portion of the system..you may have kicked it / bumped it with your foot, causing the remote start portion to be deactivated. Just flip the switch the opposite way and try again..
Also, there may have been a pin style switch installed under the hood...Check to see if it is bent or broken, if it is, simply disconnect it and insulate the wire that was going to it. 
This wire is used as a safety to keep the vehicle from remote starting while the hood is up..to keep people from being injured if the remote start is activated while the engine is being worked on. 
Have whatever shop installed the system replace your pinswitch if that is the problem.

SOURCE: I have a new prestige APS-57C remote starter

Maybe the installer did not hook up the remote starter unit to disarm the factory security system upon entry or remote-starting. Ask the installer to double check that part of the install as it would cause the factory security to trigger even though you unlocked the vehicle with the remote start unit remote.

My preinstalled prestige remote starter has worked twice at the dealers and i got it to work once. my question is do this combination sounds fimiliar for a chevy 1500. lock doors...lock door again, ho

If it is an add on remote starter, then you would use the factory remote to start it. If using the factory remote to start there are a couple of combinations to start it. Try lock, unlock,lock for Prestige/Pursuit models. If Directed models, try lock, lock or lock, lock, lock. If its a GM remote starter, press lock and then hold the remote starter button(circle with arrow.

I need to re-program the remotes to my alarm. It is a prestige aps255a. Just to lock and unlock all the doors. To arm and unarm is already programmed.

Huh? Pressing the lock button arms the alarm AND locks the doors. Pressing the unlock button disarms the alarm AND unlocks the doors. If this is not happening either there is an issue with the wiring from the alarm to the car or, with the vehicle's door locks.

I have a honda pilot with the prestige car starter and the panic alarm keeps going off when I open the door. I can not get it to stop so it has to go through its 2 minute cycle. any ideas on how to get...

That is your factory alarm. I will assume that this Prestige unit is a remote starter with keyless entry...and you are using the Prestige unit to unlock the doors. Apparently, the unlock wire is connected but, the factory disarm is not. You can turn off your factory alarm by unlocking the vehicle with the key.

2000 Toyota Rav4, just purchased. Has a two button Toyota FOB for door locks, alarm and remote starter? . The vehicle has a OEM Toyota remote starter installed but I don't know what combination of buttons...

My ex girlfriend had a factory installed honda remote strt on her vehicle. It was activated by hitting the lock button two times in succession. Some vehicles use a combination of the lock-unlock buttons. try using some combinations on the remote, many "oem" remote starts are installed by aftermarket installers so who knows what they did as a start function, it could also have been changed by the previous owner.

Remote starter does not work but will unlock and lock doors.

depending on your alarm which it sounds like a viper model maybe? on my 02 you have to incorporate a factory alarm bypass module in order to be able to start the truck, they run about 100.00 bucks and have to be profssionally installed. The truck wont start because the computer isnt recieving the proper starting sequence due to the factory alarm
