My '05 TB had an Autostart car starter installed prior to me buying it 5 years ago and had worked flawlessly until recently. I had the battery disconnected to do some work under the hood and after reconnecting it the Autostart would no longer work, (lights would flash as if it was working, but the doors would not lock or unlock, nor would the start function work) I was able to solve this by disconnecting the negative terminal at the battery for about 30 sec. After which everything returned to normal. I guess this could be useful info for someone else.... (the valet trick of turning the ignition on-off 5 times did not work)
Problem now is that my remote transmitter seems to be giving up the ghost, it works intermittently and even battery replacement hasn't seemed to make a difference. I have two other remotes from other manufacturers (ProStart and Polar) But I have no idea how to program these for use with my existing Autostart system. I have read many posts both here and other sites and all refer to real simple instructions with the use of a "valet switch".....but I cannot find anything explaining where your valet switch may be or how to know if you have one..
So...I have been banging my head off the wall trying to figure out where my "valet switch" may be located...IF...I even have one !
Is it possible to do without a valet switch, or am I destined to get it up the hoop from a dealer to have this done for me ?
