This is a demonstration video how a Compustar Security and Remote Start system is installed by a professional.
This video just demonstrates how involved it is to install a remote and/or security system on a modern car. You should always have a professional complete these types of tasks, it's worth the money.
And as you can see, if done properly you'll have seamless operation and a very clean interior (as if there was no installation performed at all).

Just bought Ma the CS800-s one way for Her 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan and bought the ignition bypass(data link) module with it. I'm just a 32 year heavy truck mechanic but have installed dozens of "Bulldog" starter systems in both gas and diesel vehicles. As a few have suggested, do some research. I choose the CS800 and the security bi pass module because it did not need (exterior-on line) programming. Granted, when it arrived it looked a bit intimidating compared to other systems I have installed but once I figured out what "With data link" or "without" meant (Confusing instructions). It just became a basic install. Unlike some Nissan and Toyota's, Dodge does not require the CS800 "door lock/unlock" feature to be installed making it even easier because the factory remote will still unlock the doors after start up unlike some of the latter. I like it. I would recommend this system "BUT" if Your not really familiar with electrical install and not confident, this is not the system for DIY.

You should bring it to a reputable install shop in your area. They might have to reprogram the remotes or check all the ignition lines to make sure the unit is getting power. Did your battery die in your vehicle and did you get a jump or replace the battery of the car?

Have one of these systems on my civic. They are loud AF & can be annoying if you work on them in your garage. If they go off by accident in a garage you're going to be hearing aids! Now, they'll def deter a crimainl breaking in cause you can easily hear the sound from a block & half away in the dead of night.

On avg, 150-300 labour. I've done over $1,000 labour alone easy, but that's with all the bells and whistles (i.e. Smart Start/ Drone, Proximity sensor, window roll up/ down and the list goes on). It all depends on what you want done.
@AnthonyJ350
@AnthonyJ350 12 лет назад
Yes you will. Also the install shop will need to find out if you have an 80 bit or 40 bit key, with the new firmware it shouldn't matter though. They'll also need to bypass the clutch switch only during the remote start sequence (usually done with a relay). So when you use the key to start you push the clutch in still, but when you remote start the vehicle it won't need to be depressed.

Not really. Unless you put a switch on the main power lines. I've never seen anyone do that though. It shouldn't be drawing that much when sitting though. How old is the battery in the car and does it get a good amount of highway driving? I would suggest putting a trickle charger on it, if it's sitting for extended periods of time.

My only issue with all of these videos with the disclaimer as to you should have a professional install these is this... I have a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser...I was pricing out remote starters all over town. I went to the following places. 3 Canadian Tires, 2 JB Power Centres, Aero Auto Parts and 3 Toyota dealerships. All of which priced out the remote start with installation including the bypass. Just as I was about to choose the best priced unit with install, I asked what is the bypass for? I was told by each of these businesses that perform professional installations that I needed the bypass for my transponder key. I then asked, in order to save money could I just buy the equipment and install it myself. The Canadian Tires and Toyota said no, that they must do it. JB said that the units would need to be programed and they would not do it unless they installed it. The price ranged from $270 to $650. Through my online FJ group I found out that my FJ should not have transponder keys. I then called a brand new Toyota dealership that was glad to give me all the information in regards to my FJ based on the vin number. Without any doubt my FJ has just regular keys...no chips ...no transponders. I was being asked to pay anywhere from $85 to $125 more the by-pass. I called the Canadian Tires, 1 Toyota dealership, and Aero back to get a new quote and they all insisted that my car needed the bypass and would not change their quote. So.. as a result..I bought my own Compustar kit and will install it myself along with a programming unit for $150 and will install it myself. The alarming thing is this...how many people that did not do the research and found out if their car needed actually this equipment were ripped off. These companies install hundreds if not thousands of the units and they do not "know" if your car needs this equipment or not?!? This has got to be the biggest scam running. If you are planning on getting one of these installed by a professional, do your own research for your own vehicle first! Because I doubt that not one of these professionals would have said sorry we made a mistake and we are going to lower your quote...or give you a refund.

POPPASHANGO To answer your statement, we do work on a lot of vehicles (I work at Visions Electronics) and most vehicles of your year do have transponder keys. If you look at Idatalink's website, your vehicle is listed so I can see why you were quoted out you need one. I've done installs on FJ's and realized it didn't need it so I just refunded the customer back their money. Some times you won't know if it's a chipped key until you take the vehicle apart. Now I recommend you get a professional shop to do it because they'll probably do a better job (ask to see pictures of previous work) and they provide life time warranty on the workmanship and offer product support. So I wouldn't just go around calling it a scam when most databases say your vehicle has it. Because most vehicle post 2001 in Canada do have transponder keys. The questions I have for you is now if you're doing it yourself, 1)Does it work? 2)How long did it take you? 3)Does it do everything you want it to? 4) And how does the install look?

Maybe going to a shop that specializes in installing these units might give you better service than tire dealers, auto parts stores and new car dealerships. Just a thought.....

Siren output wire. There will be a legend in the instruction manual telling you the colour.

You'll have to bring it to your local install shop to diagnose the issue. Too many variables to figure it out through here.

As a @professiona@l, you should know, that antenna should not be installed in the matrix dots area, cause it deacreses the signal. so you are not, and this is why you are right-it should be installed by a professional)))))

Through experience it's negligible since people don't complain about range and I can easily get range from my truck a block away. If you want even more range, put Drone Mobile in. What shop do you work for?

@AnthonyJ350
@AnthonyJ350 4 года назад
You can hide the siren more if you pay more money. This is realistically where it goes for what people are willing to pay. Are your connections going to be as reliable and wired as clean compared to someone that does this for 8-10 hours every day?
