Frequently Asked Questions

Does the CM-2300 have remote start?
A: No, the CM-2300 is an alarm and keyless only system.
I have everything hooked up and the system will not respond.
A: Check all your wires to the control module. Next check your fuses and ground. If the system does not
respond after that then try reprogramming the remotes. Please see the "Common Procedure" section of
this manual for remote programming instructions.
Can I use any other Compustar remotes on this system?
A: Yes you may use any other RF Kit in the Firstech lineup.
I am trying to program options with the OP500 Option Programmer and it flashes "ER 01" when I
plug it in to the antenna cable. What should I do?
A: First, make sure all connections are made to the control module. Second, make sure that the system
is not locked. The last thing to check is the antenna cable or antenna extension cable – make sure this is
not damaged. If you need to, try another cable. When the OP500 is working properly, it will read
"Success Good."
How do I set the auxiliaries?
A: The CM-2300 has programmable auxiliary outputs. You have four preset timed options to program
your auxiliaries for. You must have an Option Programmer (OP500) to set a specific time output for the
auxiliaries. Please see the Option Tables in this manual for details.
The vehicle will lock and unlock, but will not flash the parking lights or chirp the siren.
A: The system is in valet mode. Tap the Lock and Trunk Buttons and the same time for a half second to
exit Valet Mode. If that does not work try reprogramming the remotes again.
Whenever I try to arm the vehicle, it chirps the siren 3 times and will not arm.
A: Check all the trigger input wires for ground.
Do the door locks flip-flop in polarity?
A: No. You can use the FT-DM700 (relay pack) for high current positive (+) locks, or the DM600 harness
used for low current 600mA positive (+) locks. If those are not available you must use two SPDT relays
to invert the polarity.
