Can I buy the CompuStar through the Internet?
All Internet sales of CompuStar are prohibited and all applicable warranties and registration will be voided and no technical support will be offered.
Are the 2W Series, 2000 Series and SST Series compatible with each other?
Unfortunately, the three systems are not compatible with one another due to the advances in the technology and use of additional features.
Will the CompuStar Auto-start system work safely on a manual transmission vehicle?
Yes, the CompuStar system will operate safely on manual transmission vehicles with the proper and professional installation at your Authorized CompuStar
dealer. However, this installation procedure is entirely up to the dealer.
Troubleshooting
I cannot turn off Panic Mode’s car siren and flashing parking lights.
In order to turn off Panic Mode, press Button I for a ½ second to disengage the car siren and flashing parking lights. However, the car is still armed in alarm
mode. You must press Button I for a ½ second again to disarm alarm mode and unlock your doors.
I cannot turn off Alarm Mode’s car siren and flashing parking lights.
In order to turn off Alarm Mode, press Button I for a ½ second to disengage the car siren and flashing parking lights. However, the car is still armed in alarm
mode. You must press Button I for a ½ second again to disarm alarm mode and unlock your doors.
I keep banging on my car but my dual stage shock sensor will not work.
First, check to see that the dual stage shock sensor is activated by observing that a red-bordered indicator box labeled Shock that is darkened in the top left-
hand corner of your Co
mpuGLO LCD. If the indicator box is not darkened, your dual stage shock sensor is not activated. Turn on the dual stage shock sensor
by pressing Button (I+IV) simultaneously for a ½ second. Note that the dual stage shock sensor will only activate 30 seconds after the alarm mode is armed.
Press Buttons (I+IV) simultaneously for a ½ second to deactivate the dual stage shock sensor.
My remote pager is not working. I press all the buttons and nothing happens. I am sure that I am within the transmitting range.
First, check to see if you have enough battery life in remote-pager unit by looking at the battery life indicator icon in the bottom right hand corner of your
CompuGLO LCD screen. Replace your battery if indicated. A standard AA battery will last 1 to 2 months depending on usage and the paging mode you
choose. i.e.: Vibration mode. You will notice a loss of transmitting distance and backlight function with declining battery life.
Second, take the battery out and reinsert within a 10 second period. You h
ave just reset the computer chip of the remote pager. This may happen sometimes,
not always, if you keep pressing the remote pager buttons more than 5 to 6 times outside of the transmitting range.
Third, in rare instances, a power surge and/or electrical
shock will disable the CompuStar system when servicing your vehicle. This brief moment of increased
electrical power to the CompuStar brain will erase all the programming functions of your system. In this case, you must reprogram the remote-pager unit to
“learn” the CompuStar brain. Read page 6 for the remote-pager learning procedure.
Otherwise, the most likely cause is that the radio frequency mechanism inside your remote-
pager that transmits the 900 MHz frequency is damaged. Physical
damage such as dropping the remote-pager is usually the cause of the crystal not working. In this case, you must get a new remote-pager by contacting your
nearest CompuStar authorized dealer for a replacement.
My automatic transmission car is not auto-starting remotely.
Most likely, you did not push Button II for the required 2 seconds. Pushing Button II for only a ½ second engages the optional auxiliary function instead of auto-
start.
Another reason maybe that you are in Valet Mode. If there is a ZZZ icon on your remote-pager unit, you are in this mode and all the functions of the
CompuStar 2WSSR are disabled except for keyless entry. Press Button (I+III) simultaneously for a ½ second to deactivate Valet Mode.
If there is a problem in auto-starting your car, you will hear three chirps from your remote-pager when you attempt to auto-start the vehicle. After waiting two
seconds, the diagnosis for the auto-start error will be indicated depending on the number of times the car chirps and parking lights flash. For example, 4 car
chirps and parking light flashes indicates that the car did not auto-start because the trunk was open. Please see page 7 of the user’s manual for the error
diagnosis table.
