Also, it is the factory system.

You should be able to check it easily enough. Put the drivers window down, lock the door with the switch and close it. If it arms correctly, when you reach through the open window and open the door manually, the horns will go and the lights will flash. Close the door and unlock it with the key. If the lights and horn reset, but it still won't start, you probably have a broken key cylinder wire inside the steering column and the VATS module can't see the key signal. You could have a defective key. Do you have a second key with the pellet?
