Every car is different, I looked up the manual on how to do this on my car and it didn’t even use half the wiring that came with the kit. The manual was also specific on where to tap into everything.
@@daduncker20D Do you add starter kill relay along with it? I have PTS on my vehicle and I want to add stsrter kill relay and toggle switch but i dont know how and which one is the best method to do it? Any advises?
btw, the reason why Compustar/Firstech customer service told you the blue/white wire doesn't have to be connected is because that wire if connected to the PTS enables IDLE MODE also known as PITS MODE. This mode enables the remote to start after you drive a vehicle and want it to stay on. For example, if you drive the car to the gas station and you want the engine to stay on vs turning off the engine for a quick pick up, or if you have kids/pets in the car and want the heat/ac to stay on. You lose that feature if you don't connect that wire.
Blue wire was for Idle mode. I wouldn't recommend using that kind of method of choice for your hood pin since what if you park on a hill? But that's alright.
Cz, have you considered installing interior LED strips for extra lighting that works with the dome lights? I have a 2016 RAV4 LE (same color as yours) and was trying to get more information about an install using the fuse box so the LED strips would work with the dome lights. Love your videos, would like to watch you install LED strips on the interior.
I replaced interior lights with LED lights in my 2015 RAV4, but I didn't do that in my 2017 RAV4. Because I found that I really don't like the LED lights. I don't have plan to add additional LED strips.
Awesome installation instructions!!! Thank you for uploading the video! By the way, can I modify the features (longer run time) after I have already installed the remote starter in the car using the weblink and do I need to unplug the module from the T harness for that? Just want to make sure I dont wipe out all the installation data (flashed), by just modifying feature, since the starter is already installed.
Good job installing the remote starter. i dont think the "hood pin or tilt switch" was necessary for your car because your vehicle has a sensor at the hood latch. did you verify with compustar that the "hood pin or tilt switch" was required before installing it?
@@czgu6398 you are correct, the installation diagram for your car does not suggest to wire the "hood output" to the hood latch sensor. Great idea adding an extra on/off switch as additional safety. i will definitely have this on/off switch installed. Thank you.
Thank you and good job! I'm surprised that you Rav4 doesn't have factory hood pin? If I does, you save more time. The wire to PTS button connect only if idle mode is desired. Bc no take over on this vehicle, pointless to connect.
Yes. It doesn't have factory hood switch. But there is a connector, near the hood pin. Wire on one side of connector goes in to vehicle. There is no wire on the other side of connector. I think it should connect to hood pin (sensor).
@@czgu6398 Yes, I found out myself, just did a 2017 xle, had to do hood pin (using factory existing hole) and set input to analog. Toyota changed trim options.
Did you choose any specific setting when configuring the alarm for the 901 to automatically update on status change when using the factory key fob? I notice it did it automatically for you, but for me it wont. I have to hit the status button on the 901 for it to feedback information when using the other remote.
hello how are you I hope you are well. well my question is that I have that boot system but I have normal control is not like yours but I can program one like yours thanks you have a nice day
Every module you buy from Compustar it will work for manual transmission. You can see he cut the wire on the module on this video shown because he got an automatic vehicle. Since you got a manual you dont need to cut that wire off.

@@omkarr357 it does not delete any settings but if the module was previously flashed and installed, you will have to re-learn the module again to the vehicle.
Hi Cz Gu, Its a great video. Does remote also need programming unless i am missing something. How you configured remote to control unit DC-3. Also can i use any compustar remote, does not really need 1 mile range.
Config key fob is very easy. You can just follow DC-3 spec. There are 3 programming procedures. Module programming procedure, Tech programming procedure, remote programming procedure. After finish all these procedures, remote starter installation is finished. The remote programming procedure is for adding key fobs. The max. number of key fobs for DC-3 is 4.
Hi Mr. Gu I would like to self install a compustar security system for my acura but I don't understand how to build the system. (Which components to buy and where to buy) Thanks
1. Go to Compustar wedsite, use their "Build a System". www.compustar.com/system-builder/#/ 2. Enter your vehicle information, than select what you want: Remote Start, Security, Remote Start + Security. 3. Select Key fob (2-way or 1-way communication). 4. Search all listed items on line (eBay, Amazon.com, ....). Compustar Build a System does not list remote start controller. FT-DC3 should be good. Also T-harness is different btw key start and push-to-start vehicles. For example, T-harness for Toyota RAV4 is ADS-THR-TL5 for key start, ADS-THR-TL7 is for pts. You should download all documents before you buy. compustar.idatalink.com/product/product/product_id/688

I notice there are 2 version of the dc3. LC and HC. What is the difference? IAM trying to put together a system for my toyoya but could only find LC version.
HC has thick wire harness which RAV4 does not need. (maybe all Toyota vehicles don't need thick wires). Honda Civic needs thick wires. So before purchase, you have to check your vehicle if it requires thick wire harness. The thick wire harness includes _12V, ACC, Starter, Ignition
@@czgu6398 thank you for your response, because I easy to find dc3's complete guide, and look is easier, even though it is more expentive, so I would plan to install dc3 without t-harness, that will save money to buy FT-AlarmIt-Kit.
Will it work for Kia sorento, and if i want to use the compustar 6900as, what do i need to order with it to do the installation? Thank u so much in advance :)
I don't know compustar 6900AS. It depends on your requirements. For example, if you want installation looks more professional and easy, you can use t-harness. Can you find t-harness for Compustar 6900. If you want to have Compustar EZGO istalled later, you need to check if 6900 supports EZGO. (EZGO is an add-on feature to open and close door automatically when you are in the EZGO key range). So you should do more research before you buy.
Well the 2014 Toyota Camry should work for takeover after the alarm installation. I know Toyota 2019 or 2020 and up dont have takeover anymore because due to safety feature got put into the vehicle.

What happen if I can bypass without connecting PTS wire into the vehicle?
Hi. I just installed the same system. I still have to keep my Oem keyfob for the smart key chip. Do you have to do the same or is there a bypass system so I can only use the 901? Thanks. Anyone that wants to chime in would be great!

No, Key (Prime 901 or other Compustar trasmitter) comes with antenna. So you select different key, antenna will be different. Compustar has 3000 ft, 1 mile, 3 miles transmitters. FT-DAS comes with siren, not DC-3. If you don't want DAS (I don't like it!), you can just buy a siren at eBay. Siren is good, not DAS.
@@courtneypaul6875 I bought at eBay. Compustar Prime 901 has 1 mile range and price is not very expansive. It has small screen so you can use it to turn on/off some (DC-3) features.
@@courtneypaul6875 You don't need to buy thermometer. It comes with DC-3, or keyfob, or T-harness. I don't remember which one has temperature sensor included. When I installed remote start, I found that thermometer was there.
Be careful when you purchase 901. There are 2 versions of 901. V1 has blue car icon on it. V2 doesn't. V1 screen light is always on. So it uses battery quickly. You have to recharge it frequently which cost battery life short. When battery is died, it cannot be replaced. So you have to buy a new one.
From the T-harness manual, this wire is required if idle mode is desired. Idle Mode allows you to remove the keys and leave the vehicle running for the pre-programmed run time. I'll never do this.
Hi gu , I have a question on 2017 RAV4 PTS’s 30 pins body ECU . Idatalink said : 25 pin is RX(data)blue, 26 pin is TX(data)red. But for db3 installation guide said: 25 pin is TX(data)blue, 26 pin is RX(data)red. Could you tell me which one is correct? Thanks Do you use remote control to open or close your car’s sunroof? How to connect?
I used T-harness. It's plugin and play. So I didn't do wire connection. I checked Hardwire/wiring diagram in DC3 installation guide. 25 pin is RX(data)blue, 26 pin is TX(data)red. DC3 M4, pin13 connects to pin25 on 30-pin ECU plug, DC3 M4, pin14 connects to pin26 on 30-pin ECU plug.
pin25 blue tx data and pin 26 red rx data is applicable for all hybrids, plus non hybrids made in Japan pin 25 blue rx data and pin 26 red tx data is applicable for non-hybrids made in Canada.
This is a good question. The range of key fob (Prime 901) is 1 mile (official spec). But it's actual range is less than 4000 feet. That is what I tested in different places. One mile range must be in an open space.
I just finished installing mine followed the instructions and double check all my soldered connection and was only the keyless entry part works. Remote start don't work yet. SMH.

For uploading firmware, all you need is weblink, registe and login to your account. Select your vehicle, it'll show you newest version of firmware for your vehicle.
Is your module programmed? Once it's flashed on the computer and hooked up to the vehicle there is a sequence to learn it to the vehicle. Open/close door, module light flashes key to on position..ect ect.
I did as instructed, and flashed my vehicle, but when programming the red light blinking continuously did not stop, I pressed the reset button but the green light blinked continuously
Go back and check on your installation of the wiring or you can unplug the connection and factory reset on the module it should be on the instruction manuals. I hope you got it fixed
Buy a Weblink, plug it in to a desk top computer, open IE browser and go to www.idatalink.com/weblink/ to register the device. When you are ready for uploading firmware, you can connect weblink to the bypass module and login to your account. ......
I just got mine installed. For some reason if I start and stop the car, the headlights stays on forever!!! anyone had this issue? Also, My OEM fob starts the car if I press the lock 3 times, is there a way to turn that off? I have a habit when I doubt that I locked my car, I press a couple of time. Well, I was surprised when the car started today.
Unfortunately you need an iDataLink USB cable, and they run about $40-$50 to change any programming. You might be better off going back to your installer to get that fixed.

It is a safety purposes just in case you put inside your pants pocket and somehow it got remote started when you sit on it or touch by mistake. I know it annoying one button hold to start. I have the old remote start that actually only one press button start right away but that car was total so I give it up. My old remote start last for over 15 years until it got total.
I don't know compustar 6900. Compustar DC-3 has build-in bypass module. If compustar 6900 does not have build-in bypass or does not come with bypass module, you need to buy one and load firmware for your vehicle.

@@courtneypaul6875 You don't need to buy thermometer. It comes with DC-3, or keyfob, or T-harness. I don't remember which one has temperature sensor included. When I installed remote start, I found that thermometer was there.
Why does 901 prime remote doesn’t have a blue car icon like the other??????
Be careful when you purchase 901. There are 2 versions of 901. V1 has blue car icon on it. V2 doesn't. V1 screen light is always on. So it uses battery quickly. You have to recharge it frequently which cost battery life short. When battery is died, it cannot be replaced. So you have to buy a new one.
Cz Gu I see thanks you so much for the clarification.
this is vehicle low current or high current?
low current is enough
What functionality was affected by not connecting the blue with black dot wire?
From the T-harness manual, this wire is required if idle mode is desired. Idle Mode allows you to remove the keys and leave the vehicle running for the pre-programmed run time. I'll never do this.
Hi gu , I have a question on 2017 RAV4 PTS’s 30 pins body ECU .
Idatalink said : 25 pin is RX(data)blue, 26 pin is TX(data)red.
But for db3 installation guide said:
25 pin is TX(data)blue, 26 pin is RX(data)red.
Could you tell me which one is correct?
Thanks
Do you use remote control to open or close your car’s sunroof? How to connect?
I used T-harness. It's plugin and play. So I didn't do wire connection. I checked Hardwire/wiring diagram in DC3 installation guide. 25 pin is RX(data)blue, 26 pin is TX(data)red. DC3 M4, pin13 connects to pin25 on 30-pin ECU plug, DC3 M4, pin14 connects to pin26 on 30-pin ECU plug.
pin25 blue tx data and pin 26 red rx data is applicable for all hybrids, plus non hybrids made in Japan
pin 25 blue rx data and pin 26 red tx data is applicable for non-hybrids made in Canada.
@@czgu6398 what t-harness did you use? I have a 2013 hyundai elantra limited.

How do you cut off the chirp
Ho comprato un kit come posso installarlo sulla mia alfa 159 grazie
Hmm interesting...most modern cars I did installs on have factory hood pins.
Hi, Mr Gu Could you share the range for this remote starter
Chase Yq it depends on which remote. They go from 800 ft up to 3 miles. You can also get a drone and use your phone to start it
This is a good question. The range of key fob (Prime 901) is 1 mile (official spec). But it's actual range is less than 4000 feet. That is what I tested in different places. One mile range must be in an open space.
I just finished installing mine followed the instructions and double check all my soldered connection and was only the keyless entry part works. Remote start don't work yet. SMH.
Maybe my question is your answer, if your car is 2017 RAV4 too
Kambo209 , did you Solved your problem? How to do that?
@@yongsenlin7078 yes I did. Change option to tachless detection and it work just fine.
It's look so complicated, Don't do it if you are inexperienced otherwise you will break the car.
had this installed at store on my toyota corolla and shortly after I starting getting ABS and VSC lights on the dashboard. do you think there is a link?
No sirens testing?
I tested by hitting doors, windows which trigs DAS sensor.
Great Video !
Where can I buy this? What is its cost?
Best buy has remote start kits
Buy it on Ebay or Amazon only. Never go to Best Buy they overprices the Compustar product.
@@imports4lifetoyotalexus98 You're hilarious! You do know that if you get it installed professionally, you have better protections IF the system fails or causes a short vs your half-assed job in the driveway... Also, good luck getting warranty support on any of those products purchased from a source like Ebay.
@@TheDsmith225 Best Buy are not professional at all. Be my guest go buy Best Buy alarm product stupid clown. I always buy Ebay/Amazon and never have any problem at all. I started doing alarm system in 2010 after some professional alarm system screw up my vehicle by frying my ECU unit so I will never go to professional doing my car alarm on my vehicle anymore. Plus I have install the alarm myself at home. No problem and issues whatsoever. I have been installing alarm over 10 years. I have an experience in electricals and electronics. What do you know? You are a funny clown and moron. Not all professional install alarm a right way you know that. You think you know everything and know how to install alarm. Install an alarm is not easy you know that and I know that. Dont be rude to me and be a moron about it. You think I dont know anything about car alarm and other stuff. I have been doing these stuff over 10 years now. Go away you clown.
🤣🤣 just name the sources. The OP will choose, you dont have to tell the world ur good.
will this work for 2018
yes. you can search and download file FT-RSA-TL6-[FT-DC3-LC]-EN_20171204.pdf
I have the same car, do I need LC or HC version?
LC
You can use either one. HC comes with some thick wires which RAV4 doesn't need.
my controller beeps at night around 5 or 6 am every day sounds like it has an "alarm" cause is 100%charge
excellent guide
Wtf are you saying? Do you need to be a reseller to log in to update?
For uploading firmware, all you need is weblink, registe and login to your account. Select your vehicle, it'll show you newest version of firmware for your vehicle.
Cz Gu thank you very much I just ordered the dc3 and tharness for my car is it a fairly easy install?
@@2vgod460 Yes it's very easy to install. When you order DC-3, you can ask the seller pre-load the firmware for you vehicle.
How can we order it,I have standard
If you install it by yourself, you can search online, eBay, Amazon ... Or you can buy it at BestBuy. BestBuy will install it for you.
That works good for a wile but if you keep opening the hood it will come loose
How can i lower the sensor every time the wind or a truck passes by the alarm sounds
Also i can't find the dc3 high current on sale anywhere
Lockdown Security may have: lockdownsecuritycanada.ca/pages/search-results?q=ft-dc3-hc
Their FT-DC3-S is FT-DC3-HC
Is it really necessary to have dc3 high current?
@@atifkm09 Not for Toyota RAV4. But Honda vehicles may need. My 08 Civic requires HC.
So with the dc3 brain can i replace my oem fob with a compustar fob
No you can't. You have to bring the OEM fob with you when you drive.
Very nice! Thanks
I installed it but the flashing red light but not Green light please let me know how to fix it,
Is your module programmed?
Once it's flashed on the computer and hooked up to the vehicle there is a sequence to learn it to the vehicle.
Open/close door, module light flashes key to on position..ect ect.
I did as instructed, and flashed my vehicle, but when programming the red light blinking continuously did not stop, I pressed the reset button but the green light blinked continuously
Go back and check on your installation of the wiring or you can unplug the connection and factory reset on the module it should be on the instruction manuals. I hope you got it fixed
what is the make, model, year, auto or manual transmission?
How do you get access to the Weblink application?
Weblink only supports Microsoft IE (Internet Explorer) .
What is the link? Website asks me for a username and password.
www.idatalink.com/weblink/
Buy a Weblink, plug it in to a desk top computer, open IE browser and go to www.idatalink.com/weblink/ to register the device. When you are ready for uploading firmware, you can connect weblink to the bypass module and login to your account. ......
Awesome!
Nice job.
Thanks!
I just got mine installed. For some reason if I start and stop the car, the headlights stays on forever!!! anyone had this issue? Also, My OEM fob starts the car if I press the lock 3 times, is there a way to turn that off? I have a habit when I doubt that I locked my car, I press a couple of time. Well, I was surprised when the car started today.
@The Truth lol no, I just expected the installer to tell me those things if I am paying for a service funny guy.
Unfortunately you need an iDataLink USB cable, and they run about $40-$50 to change any programming. You might be better off going back to your installer to get that fixed.
whats the make, model, year of your car? sounds like the installer did not connect the wire to turn off auto lights
There is a wire loop that needs to be cut for auto lights
@@djdeito7228 Thanks. I had to go back to the installer, it took him a while but it works now. Not sure what he did, but when I start the car now, the door unlock for a second then lock back. Works now.
Ses jolis
Good
Dont know what do you want to tell people on this video
I used this info to successfully install remote start to my car and save money
LOOKING FOR ONE PRESS.. I HATE HOLD THE DAM BUTTON!!. VIPER IS BETTER
It is a safety purposes just in case you put inside your pants pocket and somehow it got remote started when you sit on it or touch by mistake. I know it annoying one button hold to start. I have the old remote start that actually only one press button start right away but that car was total so I give it up. My old remote start last for over 15 years until it got total.
Hey I bought the compustar 6900 for my 2017 challenger. I currently have push to start, will I need a bypass module?
TheBay'sFinest yes
I don't know compustar 6900. Compustar DC-3 has build-in bypass module. If compustar 6900 does not have build-in bypass or does not come with bypass module, you need to buy one and load firmware for your vehicle.
