SITUATION: "I have a CAT1LR Code Alarm in this Altima I just bought, the car ran good then my boy messed with the button when I drove it later it was sluggish and really felt like I was taking off in 5th gear. Is this an issue as far as protection? I'm really confused and just want to disable it if so. I need help plz."
ANSWER: The Code Alarm system CAT1LR does not have the ability to cause the problems you report having with your vehicle. The button on the system's remotes can only activate the remote starter or shut down the remote starter when it's running by the remote starter...
And if it's the button on the antenna of the system you're talking about, that button is only active when the ignition is on, and can only be used to program new replacement remotes, place the system into valet mode (turn off the system), and change system settings (like remote start run times, etc.). There are no settings in the system that can affect how the vehicle runs after being started normally with the key. Wrong system settings would only cause the remote starter system itself not to work properly, but again, the system cannot cause the vehicle to run "sluggishly" or cause shifting problems...
So, that being said, nothing your Son did with either of the systems buttons, caused the problems you're having with it, it's definitely just a coincidence. I recently had this question presented to me before on the phone, and I basically said the same thing, fortunately, the gentleman called me back several days later just to let me know that he later found out it was a bad fuel injector. Hope this helps!
