I installed a Prestige APS-685 in my 2002 chev silverado and it works great!! My only problem is when I unlock my doors with the remote start if I don't hold down the unlock button long enough I try it again and it sets of the factory security system. I has to be the factory system and not the car finder mode of the remote start unit because the lights flash and the horn sounds. I did not hook up the horn wire for the remote start because I did not want the horn sounding every time I start my pickup or every time I lock or unlock my doors.

Any Idea's ?

yes you need to tap the factory disarm wire which is lt.green @ the bcm under the steering column. its in the right plug top row 3 from the right.

You will need to split your (-) unlock output from your alarm into 2 and place a diode in each of the 2 wires. The cathode (stripe side) will need to face your alarm. One wire will remain connected to your unlock circuit and the other will need to be tapped into the wire that securinu mentioned at the BCM. The wire you want should be located in the violet connector at the BCM. Hope this helps.

the 685 should have a factory disarm wire just tap it directly. the BLACK/ blue on aux plug should do the trick you can go here for a diagram.

But why would just unlocking my doors set the factory security system sometimes and not all the time? When I hooked up my remote start I thaught it would act just like the factory keyless entry and the security would engage when the doors lock and disengage when the doors unlock whether I use the factory keyless or the remote start keyless. If I do need to hook up a diode, do I need any special type?

it might be that the door or domelight is still on when you lock which arms the factory system but if the light is out it wont arm. and blue/black can be hooked up direct if you use the unlock you will need (2) 1 amp diodes.

Yep. I wasn't sure if that alarm had a dedicated disarm output so I went the "safe" route. Like securinu suggested, it is most likely a timing issue. You are probably not always meeting all of the requirements to arm the factory system everytime you exit the vehicle. If you go with the diodes, they will be marked IN4001 or IN4002 (1 or 2 amp respectively). Good luck!
