just a thought.. most remote started ive installed, i needed to use thicker wire for the remote start portion.. since it draws a lot of current to remote start esp. in the cold, i used an amp power wire (ie. 10gauge) directly to the battery instead of the cheap wire that comes with the alarm that you tap into an existing power supply.. its just to make sure its getting enough power to support it.. denno if it helps you, but thought id give it a try..
