I remember learning in a compustar training that the antenna has to be mounted horizontally or else some range might be lost because of the way it’s calibrated
My 2020 dodge charger has been stolen 2 times. What version do you recommend. I got a quote from a professional business and they said $1900 to install. Smh.
Compustar actually has harnessing available to prevent relay attacks. You'll want to contact an experienced installer in your area that deals with @Compustar
Car battery died after I left the lights on my Honda S2000 over night with a Compustar security system. Tried boosting it but have no life at all. Has to be something with the compustar. Does it need to be reset or something. Is it a security thing after the battery is disconnected or dies?
Hey Anthony, maybe you could help me with planning an advanced CMX install? I'm planning to use a POC channel programmed for Siren 2 (SV20). Do you happen to know if that POC setting of Siren 2 is a steady output (not pulsed like horn honk) and only during Full Alarm mode? I would like to use it to trigger some Strobe lights when the alarm has been triggered, but not with arm/disarm/remote start confirmation. Siren 2 seems like the only way to accomplish this. I'll be using a relay to convert the (-) POC into a 12v trigger for the strobe controller. I think this will be a cool way to add more attention to the vehicle when in Alarm mode! Thanks for any help u can share! P.S. Are you already tinkering with the Drone XC dashcam? I'm excited to try one! Can't wait to get ride of my DIY Version i made! (Took the instant trigger and prewarn outputs, diode isolated them, and used them in conjunction with a 1 sec timer relay and 12v to 3v converter to power a small 3v vibrating motor. That motor was 3m taped to a Thinkware dashcam. So whenever in parking mode my alarm was triggered (instant or prewarn), it shocked the dvr into thinking an impact occurred while parked. Thus giving a locked recording and notification on my phone. Was pretty neat to make that work back then!
Pretty smart idea with your dash cam! I haven't play with "siren 2" but your logic makes sense. You might also be able to play with the setting of "horn" and maybe latch or prolong its programming, as horn only activates on second arm or during security activation.
@AnthonyJ350 Ah okay! Thanks Anthony!! Yeah that dashcam modification was awesome to have man! Previous attempts used timer relay to turn the dashcam on with alarm triggers (essentially mimicking turning ignition on), but that didn't give you any locked/saved parking impact files, nor phone notifications. I also have a wifi hotspot In the truck which gave wifi to the dvr for any notifications and for remote live view I had the hotspot being powered off of a dashcam Battery pack, and then the battery pack being trickle charged by a solar panel This made for a very convenient self-sustained system that never threatened to drain my batteries With the new Drone XC Dashcam I am hoping to keep some of those features but within a more convenient package !
Blade is required for immobilizer integration or using compustar controlled operation for locks, door pin etc if the vehicle is compatible. A full analog vehicle does not require the Blade for operation.
I think the CMX is perfect for that generation of truck. I prefer it for most of my installs. On that install, "turn off tach sensing" and just set it to crank for like 2.5 seconds. The truck will never overcrank and will remote start reliably every time.
Hi Anthony, where did you install the shock sensor? I believe it was a DAS II from the box image when you unpacked in the beginning of the video? Can the DAS II be hidden and still detect glass break ? I have seen it being mounted on the front window close to the antenna which did not seem to the right way?
I mount with the double sided tape (clean the surface with cleaning alcohol). And I pick a mounting surface as centered as possible in the vehicle under the dash. Then just adjust the sensitivity of the microphone.
This is great info, as I wasn't sure about the location where it should be installed, as it's also a glass break sensor, if it should be hidden or out in the open. If the mic sensor is adjustable to the extent to pick up glass breakage while installed under the dash it makes sense to be hidden. Thanks
@@Kid617 It's not really outrageous. The amount of effort is still the same. You can't have a ratio of skill labour task vs market value of the vehicle.
Hey how it going im currently about to wire in a remote start compustar cm900as alarm im a bit confuse with the starter kill relay and the remote start wires. Hope you can shed some light ive read alot of infor for the pass day but i keep getting confused. Im wiring a tacoma 2010 no immobilizer. Im confuse with what to wire to the relay 85 side if i connect the(-) starter kill output or (-)status output. And if the trigger starter wire should be wire to ignition wire or where? Thanks in advance
Thank you for the respond. How about the the trigger wire on the 18pin harness and starter kill output or they dont need to be wired. Sorry for the confusion im just trying to avoid frying something . I took it to a local installer and he wasn't to confident on doing it so here I am😅 @@AnthonyJ350
@@vm5644 I just looked up the guide the AL Blade. There's only 3 wires. Are you sure the security light wires aren't backwards? There's only 1 data wire.
@@xavi-12 Idatalink and Firstech are relatively accessible. You can ask you local Compustar dealer to do the update possibly and pay a half hour to the shop.
Hey! Thank you for all the info. You may have answered my question in the vid as i havent finished watching it, but... I have an 04 4runner with a CM-800 (thats what the box says) i want the horn to beep when i lock the doors. Ive located the white wire coming from the connector, where is the horn wire i need to connect it to? Will i need to program the remote, or will it work automatically upon being connected?! Thanks in advance!
Every pro has to make the connections with the battery connected. How are you going to test? If you watch the video I show you how to identify ignition wires. I think you should have the job done at a shop.
It could be installation related. I've been installing these things for 14 years and they don't affect the vehicle negatively. The one in my Silverado I've had in there for 12 years.
