Smartshield was introduced from 6/99, AU1 has two button remote regardless of whether it has smartlock or smartshield. 4 button remotes were introduced with AU2.
If cluster display is showing 'BASE' then for some reason the power is being lost. Give all fuses and relays a check, makes sure all connections at battery, R/H kick panel and under steering column are good.
If smartshield has immobilized the vehicle the little hand should flash fast when ignition is on.
