Exclamation Remote start problem on a m6

I,ve had my remote start and alarm for about a year now and it is set where

you have to activate it with the e-brake up and the car in neutral then get

out lock the doors and then my car shuts off. When I get ready then I just

push the button and it start so its a safe remote start. My problem is

sometimes my factory alarm will go off for no reason. I figured since I got a

aftermarket alarm and remote start that the factory alarm would no longer be

active. I didn't install this I had it done professionally. Also sometimes before

I activate the remote start I have trouble getting the e-brake to ingage and

remote start want activate. Anybody know,whats causeing these problems?

Sorry this is so long and thanks in advance.

A buddy of mine had a problem with his not working right in his m6 camaro. He just took it to the guy that did it and he knew what the prob was right away. It must be a recurring problem in the f bodies

Many mechanics do not mess with remote starters or alarms, they only take them out. Personally I dont think they are worth the trouble.

Try this when your factory alarm goes off , hit your remote and lock then unlock your doors ... does your factory alarm shutdown/disarm?

Yes this will disarm it but if you use they aftermarket remote to unlock the doors you must get in and put the key in and turn it over.

The reason I got the remote start is because I have a medical problem which causes me to get sick easy if i'm in the cold for very long,so I use it to warm my car before i get in.

Just program the factory alarm off using the instructions in your owner's manual or posted here. That should take care of it going off for no reason.

Disable your factory alarm. I know sometimes you can get interferance with the factory alarm still active in conjunction with an aftermarket alarm.

Not everybody has a winter beater. And if he lives somewhere that doesnt see much snow, its still very helpful to warm up the car on those cold mornings.
