Install Checklist Please use this checklist to complete the installation of any CompuStar system. These steps should be done in the order shown. Prep/Install Module: Begin preparing the system for installation by removing any wires you are not going to be using, leave some of the wire in case you need to use it in the future. Then wire up any relays, etc., and install the control module in the vehicle. Code Remote: Code the remote using the remote coding procedure shown in this manual.

Remote Programming Procedures Because the CompuStar systems are modular in design (upgradeable), the remotes Do Not come pre-programmed from the factory. Listed below are the procedures for programming the CompuStar transmitters. Programming for: 1WAM4R (all versions), 1WFM4R (all versions), 1W900FM4R (all versions), and for programming the 1WSS4R as a standalone remote: 1. Insert the key into the ignition and turn the ignition ON then OFF five times. 2.
Programming for: 1WFM6R 1. Insert the key into the ignition and turn the ignition ON then OFF five times. 2. The fifth time you turn the ignition on, the parking lights will flash once. 3. Tap the Lock button on the transmitter once. The parking lights will again flash once to confirm that the remote was coded. 4. After a few seconds, the parking lights will flash twice to signal the ending of the remote programming mode.
You can only use 1 two-way remote at a time with each install. However, 1 oneway remote can be added to the system.

Antenna Mounting CompuStar antennas can, in general, be mounted with any orientation. Horizontal or vertical, doesn’t really matter. Things to consider would be the routing of the antenna cable, and mounting the antenna a few inches down from the roof and/or tint line. If the antenna cable is pinched or crimped on its way to the antenna, the system may experience problems such as; poor range, one-way communication on two-way models, or possibly no response at all.
The Little Green Loop This wire is only present in international models. This jumper wire will determine the transmission setting. If the jumper wire is not cut the control module will be set for manual transmission mode. (Note: The factory default is manual transmission. If the control module is installed in a manual transmission vehicle and the jumper is cut ALL WARRANTY is void.) When the jumper wire is cut the control module will be set for automatic transmission mode.
Error Number (# of times parking lights flash) 1 Dipswitch #1 is on alternator sensing. 2 Key is in the off position. 3 No signal, or the signal is not fast enough. Find a different wire Tach Learning Error Diagnosis Alternator sensing: This is not voltage sensing. To use alternator sensing the engine sense input, (yellow/black) must be connected to the stator wire on the alternator. This will be a small gauge wire.

Options Explained In Detail CM3000-3300-4200 1-1 – Unlock Before, Lock After Starting. Lock After Remote Start. If enabled, this option will make the system unlock the doors before remote starting, start the vehicle, then lock the doors after the vehicle starts. It will then lock the doors again if the remote start run time expires and the vehicle shuts down. This feature is for vehicles that have factory alarms that need to be disarmed before remote starting. 1-2 – Door Lock/Unlock Pulse Duration.
the lock and rearm pulses to the vehicle while the dome light output is active. This will simulate the door being opened and the lock button being pressed, therefore arming the factory alarm. 1-7 – Turbo Mode If enabled, this option will allow the system to be put in Turbo mode through the remote. In Turbo mode, the system will keep the vehicle running until two minutes after the ignition has been turned to the OFF position, if the emergency brake wire has been grounded.
CM4200 Manual Transmission Auto-Lock With this option on the default setting, the doors will lock right after reservation mode is set. On the optional setting, the doors will have to be locked with the remote after reservation mode has been set. 1-12 – CM4200: Delayed Door Trigger for Locking With this option turned on, the system will ignore the door trigger for 90 seconds after the lock command has been issued. This will prevent the “door open” indication on 2-way remotes.
2-4 – Anti Jacking This option requires the starter kill relay to be installed in the ignition circuit rather than into the starter circuit. With this option set to Option 2, Panic Mode becomes Anti-Jacking Mode. If Anti-Jacking is activated while the vehicle is running with the key in the ignition, the siren will sound for 30 seconds then the system will disconnect the ignition, thereby disabling the vehicle. The siren will continue to sound for 1 more minute.
will stay latched until the auxiliary output is activated again. If the Option Programmer is used, you can program this output for a timed latched output of 3 to 99 seconds. 2-8 – Siren Output Duration With this option on the default setting, if the alarm is triggered, the siren will sound for 30 seconds. On the optional setting, the siren will sound for 60 seconds. 2-9 – Channel Expander Mode This option requires the installation of the optional Channel Expander module.

Frequently Asked Questions / Troubleshooting I have everything hooked up, but the system still doesn’t do anything. The remotes need to be programmed. The remotes for CompuStar systems do not come programmed. This is because the CompuStar systems are modular in design and the remotes are packed right before shipping the units out. What wires do I need to hook up? That all depends on what vehicle you are working with and what you want the system to be capable of. There is no set answer for this question.
The vehicle will remote start when disarmed, but not when armed. Most likely, the starter kill relay was installed backwards. Check to make sure the yellow/black wire is going to the ignition side of the wire, and that the yellow wire is going to the engine side. If installed backwards, when armed, you will be applying 12v+ to the key cylinder, and not to the rest of the vehicle. Do I have to hook up both 12v+ wires? Yes. Power for the various functions of the system is divided between these two wires.

OP500 Option Programmer The OP-500 is the new option programmer for Firstech’s various lines of product. This option programmer replaces the CM-3 Series option programmer. Included in the kit is; 1: OP-500 2: USB interface cable 3: Antenna cable extension Instructions: Stand Alone Mode To use the OP-500 in stand alone mode, simply connect it to the control module via the antenna wire. (Use the included extension cable if necessary.) Connect the antenna wire to the blue port on the top of the OP500.
Channel Expander The channel expander is an add-on module that can be used to expand the existing two auxiliary outputs to a total of seven auxiliary outputs. Each one of these seven outputs can be individually programmed for pulsed, latched, or timed-latch output. The programming of the Channel Expander outputs must be done with the Option Programmer; the CompuStar remotes do not have the ability to access these programming options.
Please note that the Auxiliary outputs are low-level outputs, and should not be used to directly power any devices/accessories in the vehicle. This will damage the output and void the warranty on this item Pin8: This wire is a 12v+ constant output, provided for convenience during installation. The seven auxiliary outputs will, in most cases, be used to trigger a relay that will activate/power the vehicle accessory you are trying to control.
temperature (Between -22 and 32 degrees fahrenheit). If started, the vehicle will run for the pre-set run time (Gas-15 or 25 min. Diesel-25 or 45 min). **See option 2-1 and 2-2 for optional programming.
