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: astra remote car starter problem

your remote starter is in valet mode, the door lock will still work but no remote start, try pressing the trunk button 3 times, if that doesn't work turn the ignition switch on and off 5 times

SOURCE: Hello. My Viper 5701 suddenly

You should also be receiving an error message. If the parking lights flash six times, it relates to the hood shutdown wire(-) or the brake shutdown wire(+). If the parking lights flash seven times, it relates to the neutral safety shutdown. Check the toggle switch under the dash and flip it to the opposite position.

How can put my Avital 7345L remote starter on vibrate instead of chirping?

To put your Avital 7345L remote starter on vibrate instead of chirping, you will need to follow these steps:
  1. Press and hold the "Valet" button on the remote starter until the parking lights flash twice. This will put the remote starter into valet mode.
  2. Press and hold the "Lock" button on the remote starter until the parking lights flash twice. This will turn off the chirping feature.
  3. Press and hold the "Unlock" button on the remote starter until the parking lights flash twice. This will turn on the vibrate feature.
  4. Press and hold the "Valet" button on the remote starter until the parking lights flash twice. This will exit valet mode and save your settings.
  5. Test the remote starter to make sure that it is vibrating instead of chirping.
Note: If you have difficulty following these steps or if you have any other issues with your Avital 7345L remote starter, it is recommended that you consult the user manual or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

This may sound funny but my mom has a brand new Lincoln MKZ and was having the same problem with her remote starter. What I did was, I pushed the lock button on the remote and then pushed the start button and it started . Even though the car was already locked for some strange reason she has to push both if she wants to start it remotely . I'm not sure why this happens and not sure if it will work with your remote but its worth a shot. Good Luck

I installed a bulldog remote starter with keyless entry and the doors won't unlock or lock with remote, why?

Were the lock and unlock wires connected to the system?
Lock: Gray/White (-) @ 40 PIN CONN OF BCM PIN 27
Unlock: Gray/Red (-) @ 40 PIN CONN OF BCM PIN 26

Do you have a Smartpass key or a regular key? What bypass are you using for the remote start system?

I purchased and programmed a new remote to my 5701 starter.security system. the lock and unlock functions work byt i just get a loud beep, flashing red light on the remote and my headlights blink 7 times

The seven flashes from your parking lights is the remote starter error diagnostic. Seven flashes is the message for neutral safety wire. The toggle switch under the dash is in the off position or, if the small, thin black with white wire is not connected to ground.

LED lights for locking and unlocking flash at the same

that system is part of D.A.S. 2( driver authorization system verson 2). the lights in the mirror will blink red when lock and green when unlock. during the self diagnoses portion they will blink simutanilusly when the remote key batteries are low and alternating when there is a malfunction with the key or other part of the driver authorization. it sounds like your remote key central locking batteries are low.
