First APS996a, now a Karr programming pro

Since I was helped out so much with installing my gf's car alarm yesterday I have a car alarm on my 2000 Mazda 626 that isn't working correctly. I got my car after alarm was put in and the only reason why I know its a KARR is because my remote says so. So I am assuming its an aftermarket part then, not stock Mazda. The problem... After a shop messed with my car my car does not make a sound anymore when I arm and disarm the car. It will only make a sound when the alarm actually goes off or when I disarm while the alarm went off during it was armed. So just regular disarming and arming it doesn't work. I am unsure what model number, I think its the #2040 and it doesn't use a sirene for sound output but rather my horn. The information my remote however is as follows. Its an oval shape and has one button for arming/disarming, a button for panic and a button for trunk release and or optional. The FCCID on the back of the remote is as follows... ELVAT5H. There is a phone number as well however I can not read it. One more thing. The range on this alarm is HORRIBLE. I have replaced the battery to the remote twice already thinking it was that, however even if I try to arm or disarm while I am standing next to the car it wont even arm or disarm. Same goes for the Trunk release option. Anywho.. you guys helped me yesterday, I hope the same can be said now.

since you are already familiar with the 996 (you put it in yourself right) why not upgrade? you realize your girlfriend has a cooler alarm than you right? not poking fun, just stating the facts (and i have no idea about a KARR alarm)

karr alarms are made by audiovox that dealers purchase for their vehicles to sell, and they are cheat ass.2005 Toyota Corolla S
