I absolutely hate this system. My WRX is a 6 speed so I had went compustar to have a remote start. I had to go to a compustar PRO dealer to get it done as Best Buy said it can’t be done. Well, 1100 do... See more

Well, the unlock feature when you approach your vehicle is hit or miss. I thought it was because my key fob needed a charge, so I charged it and the problem still happened. Super disappointed that s... See more

The fobs that are supplied during purchase are super cheap plastic. My drone fob broke in just a couple of weeks. If you have a vehicle that shuts down after a period of time while at idle and you att... See more

Contacted them six times and they never answered any of my questions. Canned answers are either we do not provide that type of support or take your unit to a dealer. Asking what remotes are compatible... See more

Works great most of the time

Works great most of the time, but I had an issue after the first week. Car went into valet mode for some reason and it took me a bit of time to turn it off. The Compustar 915S apparently has a valet mode feature and that somehow turned on. Also, it will occasionally start and immediately shut off and it takes a few minutes for me to start it up again. I have a 2021 Kia Forte GT.

The Pro T 13 & Drone Combo

Installed the T 13 to my jk Jeep. The Installers were cordial and professional. It s great to have a piece of mind by controlling the vehicle and remote starting it during the hot and cold days. Also highly recommend to install the drone mobile to further monitor the vehicle and remote Lock/unlock.

This is my second Compustar

This is my second Compustar. My current model is a 1WG8R-SS. I am disappointed that the screen does not accurately depict whether or not the doors are locked or engine is running. My first Compustar was excellent.

The remote starter I purchased has…Remote Starter

The remote starter I purchased has worked perfectly with no issues. I have not encountered a time that it hasn’t started due to distance. I love that it doesn’t matter if I use the remote starter or my vehicle’s fob to lock or unlock. One doesn’t interfere with the other!

I was either given a crappy remote or it was previously used as my battery is dying after only a few months' sent a message to compustar to ask how to open the back as I do not have a screwdriver small enough, but they never got back to me.

I had issues with the installation from…

I had issues with the installation from day one. After the second day back to the installer, I figured out why the remote start didn't function. Installer misread the instructions for a manual trans installation. After the 5th trip, final got everything to function, had an issue with rap staying on. This pretty much made reservation mode and the remote start useless. Sixth trip, installer changed the programming and got the rap to shut down. Now, a week later, same issue. Rap stays powered on after reservation mode is set. Also had no hood pin connection and the passenger door connection was not made. Information is not readily available and you have to depend on the installer to correct any issues or change programming. First compustar system I've purchased and it will be the last. Corrected the issue with the rap myself. My opinion didn't change.

Works better than expected

Works better than expected, distance and functions are great, drone part of this system is just on the money I'm hoping I can say this in a few years down the road!!

Compustar Alarm COM FT-7300A-CONT

I find this Vehicle Alarm to be average because of 2 issues.

1) My previous Compustar Alarm was able to unlock the driver's door first and the passenger's door second. I found it to be very useful to me. This new model unlocks both doors at once.
2) My previous Compustar Alarm was able to lock and unlock the doors without an audio confirmation. This feature was convenient in not attracting attention to my vehicle. This new model doesn't give me that choice.

Compustar is the best Remote start/alarm system out there. I've had em all in the past years. Their features and options are by far the best and for the best price. I will always recommend Compustar and install on all my cars.
