I have a astro start remote starter (series 120A) on my camry 98. I am only able to lock the car using the remote. Car doesn't start and there is no parking light indication as well. I am also not able to unlock the car using the remote. Is it a programming issue or starter brain is gone?

The computer for the alarm is probably causing your problem. Scan the anti theft module to trouble shoot for the problem. You might have a door sensor that is shorted.

Let me ask you this:
Is there ANYTHING on the car that is not "factory"? (remote starter, burglar alarm, aftermarket keyless entry, etc)

If your answer is "yes" to any of the above, you may have a damaged body control module (BCM). Any Toyota with a BCM can experience a BCM failure with certain remote starters, etc....
If so, it is rather expensive to replace.

SOURCE: central locking remote won't open car/car won't start

Sounds like a basic bad battery. Even though its not that old it can be bad....and probably under warranty. Immobilizer or starter will not cause that. Get the bat tested.
Only other thing is called a "parasitic draw". This is when something is drawing current from the battery when its supposed to be off. Usually this causes a totally dead battery, not a weak one like you have.

BEHIND THE DRIVERS KNEE PANEL IF IT IS FACTORY IT SHOULD BE JUST BEHIND THE DUCT WORK YOU CAN ALSO JUST UNPLUG THE PIGTAIL HARNESS IN BETWEEN THE IGN. SWITCH AND THE ALARM (PLEASE RATE THIS)

Dead deactivated factory car alarm Camry 96

It sounds like there may be an issue with the factory car alarm system on your 1996 Toyota Camry that is preventing the car from starting. If the alarm system is preventing the starter from getting power, it is likely that the alarm system will need to be repaired or replaced in order for the car to start.
If the Toyota dealership does not have the parts or knowledge to repair the old alarm system, it may be difficult to find someone who can fix it. One option you could try is contacting a specialist who works on older car alarms and see if they have any experience with the alarm system in your Toyota Camry. Another option is to try finding a used factory car alarm from a wrecker or online that is compatible with your car and installing it to see if that resolves the issue.
If you are unable to repair or replace the factory car alarm, you may need to consider installing a new aftermarket car alarm system. An aftermarket car alarm can be purchased from an automotive parts store or online, and a mechanic or an experienced car enthusiast should be able to install it for you.

Why wont the unlock button work on the Astros start remote for a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer?

Sounds like either the key fob needs to be reprogramed or your remote locking system needs to be reset. Check with the manufacturer or dealer where you bought the car if they have the directions for resetting the system.

Camry 2002 Remote Starter Conflicts Car Starter

You need to call Viper and talk to their tech support. It sounds like the viper is actually disabling the starter. If you have all of your paperwork from the alarm system there should be a book that can help walk you through the reprogramming mode. Maybe your key fob is not synced to the alarm system. I have a clifford alarm which is still a viper. I have to press the star button 3 times in a row if I want my car to start remotely. hope this helps some.
