Unfortunately we may never know. I questioned the tech also wether the original alternator was bad. The tech told me he tested and was not charging. But seams like a pretty big coincidence all in the same week to get a new battery, alternator, and compustar remote start issue. They charged me $600 because of time to troubleshoot and diagnostics. Which I thought seemed high after he told me remote starts are the most common issue they find. So made me wonder why they don't check for that first. But maybe they just do a thorough overall check of all electronics...
I will contact GM service Dept again today about the Compustar Remote start to see their thoughts on it. Haven't heard from them yet. Unless they replace or look at for free or cheap Im going to Just leave it. Looking back at the install cost it was about $600 total with remote start and now I just had it unhooked for another $600, so Im not going to pay again to have a new one installed or replaced for something I may not use.
