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.
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.
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.

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;...
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) 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. Alternator sensing procedure (To test for alternator sensing set digital multi-meter for DC voltage.

30 sec Passive Relock Double Pulse Unlock These option descriptions are for the CM1000A ONLY. They differ from the regular option menus so much that they need their own section. The full listing of option menu descriptions immediately follows this page.
Options Explained In Detail 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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
