I installed a Viper 5901 about 3 weeks ago and all was good untill today, I was shopping and came out and tried to remote start I got the no good feedback from the remote then I tried the to unlock nothing the bad feedback again this was all done right next to the car so it was not a range thing I had to use the key and do the valet thing and then the remote started to work does anyone know what this could be?

Thanks

Defective antenna
Low batteries
Environmental interference
Lost the remote's programming
