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
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
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?
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!
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
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.
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).
