autopage rf 425lcd paging problems

I searched, and didn't come up with anything helpful not sure if this has been covered if so I can't find it.

I've put it 20 or so Autopage alarms, always no problems I love their products. Yesterday I put the 425LCD in a 91 Integra I just bought, and it went smoothly as usual. Everything works fine, but the 2-way paging feature is not working at all. The remote works fine, but it doesn't get status updates from the alarm on screen, it shows the unlocked icon at all times and triggering the alarm doesn't page the remote.

I'm stumped, I've been trying to figure it out for the last 7 hours and I am completely out of ideas. I removed and reconnected all the connections for the box, tried clearing the remote and re linking it to the alarm, I even did a continuity test on the wires for the paging antenna to see if I had accidentally pinched it somewhere and broke the circuit. Everything appears to be fine and I can't find any information on this anywhere on the web I've been searching all morning to no avail.

Any advice would be extremely helpful, I don't know what else to check. This is my first 2-way install and of course there are problems :( Do I need to do any additional programming to the remote to Link it to the alarm systems paging features?

Thanks for reading.

talked to autopage, they are stumped too. they are based about 2 miles from my front door, I'm thinking i should take the whole car over there next week and see what happens.
thanks for the advice

clear remotes from the brain, remove batt to remote, remove power fuses to brain.

wait a minute, power up brain, remote then reprogram.

does the unit respond with the 2way but no confirmations? if thast the case the remote is defective. done a few autopages myself and they are pretty good units, but had one or two remotes go bad.

thanks for the reply, I'll try what you mentioned tomorrow morning.

The remote works to arm/disarm the system, but it does not page the remote when the alarm is triggered, and the remote shows the default disarmed icon regardless of the system state.
