Just installed my 2wq900as system the other day works so well can you make a video on how to access the extra programming options like using the remote for this cm900-as unit ik you can buy the programmer but the key fob way we'll it says it works but never been able to get it to work
Hi, yes no prob, give me a day or so, possibly just after Xmas 🎄 and I will make one for you (video) outlining how to do option programming with a key fob
I bought the 8900AS and the FOB is different than both of those. Any difference besides looks? Also, i have the blade and a drone with the package that i purchased.
Thanks for the video, very informative. May I ask please, I have the 2WQ900-AS, my car is Mazdaspeed 3 2007 model, I added the Push/Start button to the car before I installed the Compustar system, everything works great, do I need anything else to add to the comustar system, like the blade module? I live in Australia, do I need the Drone as well? Can you explain please the use of the two modules as I am a bit confused. Cheers
I just recently purchased a 7900AS and I’d like to install it myself. I saw a video with the same alarm system but on a 2003 Silverado, I have a 2013 Silverado and pretty sure the wiring is different. Watching his video he mentioned he called you for some information and you were very helpful on providing him with diagrams. I’m thinking the T-harness is an accessory I need or is it something to make the install easier?? I know I need the Blade-TB or AL from watching your video. Is it possible you can point me in the right direction as far as what I need?? Also if you can make a video with the 7900AS step by step installation would be great. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The FTI-GMT3 is the plug and play harness you need. We sell it in our store, link is below. As for install step by step videos, we do not make these on our channel at this time (not our thing, we show what products are, how they work, interesting features etc. but we are not a specific DIY channel at this time).

Hi Jeff, I used to install a long time ago, but things have changed LOL Im gonna put the Q9 in a 2000 GMC sierra, and I was looking into it I know I need the immobilizer bypass the blade TB does what I think I need, I have power locks, but no factory remote, I looked at the AL and I dont see that it does anything more for that vehicle than the TB, am I reading that correct? Im confused at what part I actually need. thanks for taking the time to read this.
@@rushunt2131 on a 2000 GMC Sierra, use the BLADE-AL, as it will provide you with door lock control, if you use the BLADE-TB, you would only get immobilizer bypass, then for the locks, you'd have to run wires into the driver door, and do a circuit connection at the switch. To avoid this, use the BLADE-AL.
Hi Jeff. Thank you for this very informative video. My questions would be, if a car thief goes in front of our house raising his arms with these high tech antennas to get signal of our car's factory remote to open our car, can that antenna also catch the signal of these compustar alarm systems q9 or t9 and open our car without those loud/shock alarms or disarm the compustar alarms? Will you remove factory remote system when you install one of these compustar alarms?
So, my installer has advised that, when I’m having the Compustar system installed, I can upgrade to a T13 remote for $250 more. Do you feel there’s enough advantage with the T13 to justify the cost? They’re basically telling me that the only real advantage is the extended range with the T13. Are there more benefits that I’m missing? Thanks
How does the standard FT Elock relay compare to the new FTI-SPTS-U-5PK ? Is the latter better ? I know little about these systems, so I am trying to learn and decide what would be suitable for me.
These are two separate styles of relays with different purposes. The new FTI-SPTS-U-5PK is a relay and harness specifically designed for low current push button immobilization (to disable a vehicles push start button). The FT-ELOCK is a high current, standard automotive relay designed to immobilize starter motor circuits
Hello, i am interested to learn how to install remote starter in a vehicle, do you have any classes or is there any school can teach how to install a remote starter in a vehicle?
None of the Compustar LT Series work on manual transmission, you will have to get a CMX controller, and add an FT-DASII, and the key fob kit. Email sales@lockdownsecurity.ca and we can put a package together for you.
Jeff is want to get proximity unlock but not a fan of the usb rechargeable remotes are there any remotes compatible with proximity unlock but not rechargeable?
You could do the Q9 remote and then get the EZGO II kit. The Q9 uses AAA Battery, and the EZGO will convert the Alarm into passive unlock/lock and aem/disarm. That's probably the best way to get what you're after!
@@AhmedBahgat it's not that they "know" they are in a manual vehicle, it is that manual trans compatible product, will require you to enter a sequence EVERYTIME you park the vehicle, in order to ensure the vehicle is not left in gear. This sequence, is what ensures, when the vehicle shuts down, that it is NOT left in gear. Product like what we reviewed in this video, do not have the capability of performing the sequence, so hence are not compatible with manual trans vehicles.
@@LockdownSecurity I actually managed to do it in my Mazdaspeed3 manual car, I have a gear location sensor that will tell me if the car is in neutral or not, so I created an AND gate and hooked it to the Hood wire, so if EITHER the car is not in neutral or the handbrake is not on, the compustar will be fooled as if the Hood is open and in no way it will remote start. Cheers
@@AppleiOSGenius all Compustar can have multiple key start fobs programmed, believe the limit is 4. So no problem pairing a second 2-Way key fob. As for which key fobs work, which Q9 are you using, the Q9FM or Q9SS? This makes a difference

Will you remove factory remote system when you install one of these compustar alarms?
No, Compustar key fobs are NOT vulnerable to relay theft attacks. Factory alarm is retained when installing a Compustar system
Which one would be the best then? or is the difference just the remote?
So, my installer has advised that, when I’m having the Compustar system installed, I can upgrade to a T13 remote for $250 more. Do you feel there’s enough advantage with the T13 to justify the cost? They’re basically telling me that the only real advantage is the extended range with the T13. Are there more benefits that I’m missing? Thanks
The T13 adds a fancy display, proximity LOCK and UNLOCK (walk up to vehicle it unlocks doors, walk away doors lock), along with the extra range.
So I guess the main question is; is that worth $250? I guess it gives me enough to consider. Thanks!

Promimity unlock is only available on Compustar PRO remotes, such as the T13 and R5, or you have to add an FT-EZGOII to your Compustar system.
Can this be installed in a manual car for just the alarm without the installation for the remote start?
Yes you can install either in a manual car if you are just using the alarm, but, the remote start portion is NOT compatible with manual vehicles
@@LockdownSecurity awesome thanks for the info!

I have the 7900AS can i use the Q9 remote
Yes you could use the Q9 key fob with the 7900AS
Do they both have the kill switch option?
Yes both have starter kill/ignition kill outputs, and also both include the FT-ELOCK relay for this purpose.
Also have a hybrid Toyota will it work
Yes these will work on Toyota hybrids.
Are they both drone capable
Yes they are. MyCar2 works with these as well.

@@Dave1583 There are a few available, what brand of system are you installing?
Can you add dronemobile to both systems?
Yes both systems have a data input for DRONE, or MYCAR2 (both systems will work with either system)
Hi I have a Toyota allion a Japanese made car it’s not showing in the idata link can I still connect compustar to it?
You would have to cross reference the car to see what it is similar to in North America
What's the difference between these and the T12?
T12 is weather proof, and ruggedized, also has 15000 foot range. The Q9FM is not ruggedized, and has 3000 foot range.
Does this have keyless entry?
Yes these systems offer keyless entry.
