Nothing happens when i press the buttons

My remote starter isn't working, it has the unlocked signal up but not transmitting signal. i was wondering if i just have to reprogram it?, i let my mom use my car & i think she pressed a wrong button just not sure what she pressed though. i bought the car with the system already attached so i don't have a Manuel for it.

Moms and remote anything don't seem to mix. Had the same issue with my mother in law. Anyway, you should be able to find the model number on the back of the remote. There are many manual libraries online where you should be able to find a manual for your particular remote. My favorite site is manualslib.com. Good Luck.

SOURCE: how do auto remote car starters work?

Usually the car start system has a "Valet" switch hidden somewhere under the dash or in the glove box. This is used to disarm the system for when the vehicle is serviced. You will have to locate and turn the switch on, some units have a small push button. In either case it is a good dea to locate it for future use.

SOURCE: remote starter will not restart my vehicle

If you have an alarm, or remote start with an alarm, you need to press and hold thethe valet button which would be hidden under the dash on the driver side, as you are turning the key sometimes remote starts have a starter disable or an alarm option to reset it that is what needs to be done, some systems even if you dont have an alarm go into a valet mode if your remote battery is old or you never reset it or the alarm kicked in or what have you. if this does not work for you then you will need to bring it to a dealership and have them do a total reset to the computer you can also try disconnecting the negative battery cable, but do this with the door open cause it will reset everything, and google the reset procedure for the key fob (remote).. do that reset for the remote and it should save you money from having to bring it to a shop or dealer.
hope this helps.

SOURCE: Scytek 5100 RS-2W system Problem

How do you reset the remote, alarm. I have a scytek two way security alarm, remote start. I can lock and unlock my vehicle, however the remote start and alarm won't work. When I press the middle button to have the car start it just beeps, and when I lock my car it just locks it doesn't beep to let me know the alarm is on.

Please advise, do I need another alarm, or just reset it.

SOURCE: The remotes for my system do not operate when I

The "pair" the remote with your system:

1.PRESS AND HOLD the f button on the remote UNTIL the transmit LED lights solid (approximately 10 seconds)
2.PRESS AND HOLD the remote start button (circle arrow) UNTIL the LED blinks 3 times and the amber transmit LED lights up. Your remote is now ready to pair.
3.. Turn the key to the on position
4.Within 5 seconds PRESS AND RELEASE the control button on the antenna.
5. Within 5 seconds PRESS AND HOLD the control button. The status LED will flash one time and the siren will chirp to confirm that the system is ready for remote pairing.
6. Press lock button on remote. System will respond with chirp toconfirm pairing.

SOURCE: i have a new prestige car remote installed

You did not mention the year/make/model of your vehicle but, the issue appears to be the factory alarm. The installer failed to make the connection. If you intend to make the connection yourself I would need information pertaining to the vehicle. The (-) pulse before start wire for Prestige remote starters is black with a blue stripe. It is in a 4 pin connector at the module. This wire can be used to disarm the factory alarm before the remote start sequence.

Good Day! My car starter doesn't work, batteries are good, it blinked 19 times meaning that the error code is Module does not detect manual interface. Remote is the AstroStart FCC ID J5F TX2000.

remote starters are always plagued with issues. Have it removed or take it back to the installer. A friend of mine burned out 2 starter motors!

How does the ignition interlock work on the mazda mpv 2003 ? I can't start the car without the remote control : Simply turning the key will not even crank, does nothing.

Often, you need to press the unlock button on the remote twice. First press unlocks the door and second press disables the immobiliser and allows the vehicle to start. The key alone will not start the vehicle.

Alternatively, when the key is in the ignition - press the remote unlock again.

The remote acts as an immobiliser device. The reason your car won't start on the key is probably because the system won't allow any key in the ignition - it is preventing theft of the vehicle. Once the unlock button on the remote is pressed the system then recognises that key is the legitimate one for the vehicle and the disables the immobiliser and allows you to start the car

Why wont my channel buttonand on off buttons dont work

Two possible areas: batteries have become too weak to transmit if signal or Vizio remote needs to be synchronize with tv.

I assume it was working. Try pressing button marked 'tv' close to bottom of keypad and then try on/off. A few remotes have a reset hole takes a paper clip, I do not believe your model is one.

You should be able to test your remote with a cell phone or digital camera. Using camera on your phone, aim remote at camera as if cell phone was tv. Press on off key ( vol, channel up/down ) and if you see red light when remote buttons are pushed...remote is transmitting. If nothing...make sure you remote is not enough
radio frequency or RF.

Power locks will not unlock with the remote, remote is allright

Try replacing the remote battery and retrying as this is often the issue with remote central locking. The LED may light, but if signal strength isn't strong enough, then nothing is going to happen.

Do the locks lock with the remote?

Hi, I have a Yamaha rx-v450 amp that won't change sound modes (stereo, hall, jazz, rock etc) from the remote control but it works from the buttons on the unit. I've checked my remote by pointing it...

Hi! Transmitting doesn't mean it's working, What you should do to test it is use a good quality universal remote such as a Logitech Harmony and first program the preset code for your receiver into the Universal Remote. If that works, you know your OEM remote has gone bad, at least for those buttons. If it doesn't then you you should attempt to have your Universal Remote "learn" the IR signals from your receiver's remote If the controls still don't work, there is a problem with either your IR receiver on your receiver or the the circuitry that proceesses the signals into commands. Good Luck!

I bought a 2007 Camry with a remote start. The seller doesn't know how to start the car with the remote. The remote is a 4 button Viper 474V.

First, be sure that the remote is programmed for the vehicle by using it to operate the door locks(pressing the lock and unlock buttons). The parking lights should flash if nothing else works.The usual way to operate the remote starter with this remote is by pressing the * button once but, the option could have changed if the remote has been reprogrammed differently. So, try pressing the * button once. If this doesn't work press it twice within two seconds.If this doesn't work try pressing the lock and unlock buttons at the same time. If these steps fail to initiate the remote starter try the steps listed for the * button with the aux button. If either of the remote starter inhibits (hood pin, neutral safety) are active you should receive flashing parking lights for a failed attempt to remote start.
