    Oh yes,i guess that's your best move towards having that issue solve.

    What i believe is since the TOD is engaged once your crank on the engine probally the remote starter you've installed doesn't send to the TOD system any signal to engage the TOD PCM as just as starting the engine with your keys.

    I could be wrong,but there's nothing else i can think about

    I have a Compustar (Biju did too). No issues with remote start at all.

    Maybe pbk is on the right track and the installer may have tried to "wing it" instead of following a vehicle specific wiring diagram from the alarm manufacturer, or other... They may have missed a critical step and caused the TOD issue.

    Let us know if the return visit solved the problem (and maybe what the original problem was too if they'll tell you).

    Good Luck.
