Audiovox 996A in Hummer H2

HI -- I read your forums and took your advice of having a professsional install an alarm/ remote start.

I talked to several people in my area and chose the Audiovox 996A and had it installed this week.  I see a couple of annoying problems and I need to know if I have to "live with them" or can I get the installer to fix them.  He was on the phone with audiovox for an hour and they told him everything is working fine.

installed on a 2004 Hummer H2 - Audiovox 996A with DEI 457gw

my 2 issues:

1. If I open the door with the alarm - but do not use the autostart feature -- the GM "alarm check" light on the dash illuminates and does not go off.  Can this be fixed?

2. When I unlock the doors - all doors unlock -- not the two step process -- where the drivers door unlocks and a second push unlocks all doors?  -- same question -- Can this be fixed?

thanks for your help -- you guys are the experts  -- Mike

Read page #5 on your owners manual.  There is an optional relay that must be installed to do this.

BTW, I was pretty much sold on the DEI 2-way alarms, but that looks like a very nice comparison.  What made you choise that over DEI?  I am just trying to see the differences of what you found out.  I will be having one installed very shorty.  I want to install it myself, but I would like to have the peace of mind of lifetime warrenty aswell. 

03taurus -- Thanks for the response -- I read that in the manual also, but my installer said he talked to Audiovox and they said it was caused by the DEI module. You do bring up a good point with this "additional circuit" -- I will ask .

I looked at DEI first - but as I talked to Security shops and did internet research, they said that DEI was not any better than otheres.  In the end I found three installers in my area - one installed DEI, one for Autopage and the one I liked the best installed this Audiovox.

There are lots to choos from -- good luck
