It would appear that you now have had everything checked out. including the alternator. The indicator lights problem only at idle, would indicate possibly only a single diode is faulty within the alternator. This would not affect output to a marked degree and it is unlikely that a test performed by a an automotive electrician would pick this up.

There is no reason for a low battery to cause the faults you have described, unless it has some strange intermittent internal fault.

On the basis of logic it would seem likely that you have two separate faults. An alternator fault and a fault caused as a result of the installation of the remote start set up.
