I bought a vehicle that already had a bulldog remote start installed. When I changed the vehicle's battery and had it out for a day or so the key fab apparently lost programming. How would I regain this? Also, what is the sequence of use to start the vehicle? thanks.

If your starter stays engaged after the vehicle starts with the remote starter then, the vehicle's starter wire is receiving 12 volts, most likely from the remote starter's ignition or accessory wires. Check the connections to the vehicle's wiring: the battery wire is constant 12 volts, regardless of key position. The accessory wire(s) is 12 volts with the key at accessory and on/run (position 1 & 2), the ignition wire(s) is 12 volts with the key at on/run and start (position 2&3), and the starter wire(s) is 12 volts with the key in the start position (position 3) ONLY. Make sure that the remote starter wires are connected to vehicle's wires as directed by the Bulldog instructions.
if the battery was replaced or any terminals removed, you may have lost the tach programming for the remote starter. Goto http://www.bulldogsecurity.com/bdnew/installmanuals.asp and look for the remote start unit you have in the manuals and it will tell ya how to reprogram the tach memory.
You will want to look under your dash and find the model number of the Bulldog unit you have. Then check out http://www.bulldogsecurity.com/ for the manual and a troubleshooting guide.
There is some sort of a feedback to tell the starter if the unit is running - make sure you have the 'tach feedback' connected. There are settings for it to run the starter for specific length of time, or for it to know that it started by the tach feedback. Check your users' manual.
put your key in the ignition leave it in the off position, now press the remote starter, if it starts you need to adjust the key in the 791, or adjust the transponder loop around the key chamber
If you mean to keep the car running once it's already been driven, and you want to have it remain running, but take your keys with you, put the vehicle in park, release the brake, with the key in the "run" position, push the same button you use to remote start the car. You'll have the relays click, and the parklights (if connected) will come on. Don't touch the brake!! Turn key to "lock" position, remove key. Vehicle should remain running for the set amount of time like normal remote start operation. You may now lock your car with the remote, too. When you return to your car, turn key to "run" position, when you step on brake pedal, the remote start will cease operation, and you can drive car as if you had remote started car from a standstill.
Remove the battery in your remote for 15 sec, then put back in, start your car with your key, wait 15 sec, while the car is running press the * star button 2 times, it should beep , if not try it again, if still nothing post me back and we can go from there
