prestige alarm, add remote start

I just looked at the manual for the APS155CH and no, it is not capable of remote starting your car.  The dark blue (channel 2) wire is only capable of triggering a remote start unit.  Most R/S systems have a (-)trigger wire that will start the remote start sequence.  If you had a remote start, and wanted to trigger it with channel 2 on your alarm, you would hook those two wires together.  I also dont see how you could arm this system from an external source, such as a R/S.  I would definitely replace it with a R/S/Alarm combo unit rather than trying to interface this with a R/S.  Also, you'll have a lot more range than 100 feet.Keith

so the alarm want what right. so it would started if i hook those two wire together. from the remote controlmichael12

You can do it whatever way you want. Yes, the "aux" output from your alarm can trigger ANY external device you want, including a remote starter. Here are the issues you're going to have to deal with: --A regular alarm is not a long-range system. What's your range, maybe 30-50 feet? Can you operate the alarm from inside your house? --The alarm most likely has a shock sensor. When the car starts, it'll shake, and the sensor will make the alarm go off. You can turn the sensor all the way down, unplug it, or configure a relay so that the sensor will not be allowed to work when the remote starter is on......but there you have more work, plus you'll have to buy the relay. --When the ignition is on, the alarm's remotes won't work. Some remote starters have an output to "fool" the alarm into thinking the ignition is off........ others don't, and there's another relay you'll have to buy.

Yes it would probably work fine, with range issues.  Your alarm does not have the range that would be greatly appreciated when trying to remote start your car from work, school etc.Keith

so what do i need to do to hook that remote starter up can u explain to memichael12

Explain what? How to install the entire thing, or why the range will be poor?

intall the whole thing to me regular systemmichael12

Any remote start you buy will have an install manual.  There is no 'generic' way of installing these as every car, and every remote start system is different.  If you are that unsure of how to do it, you are probably better off to pay someone to do it, or have a friend with some knowledge of car electronics help you.  Installing one of these things without having any clue as to what you are doing is a recipe for disaster.Keith
