I bought this remote starter as a gift for my brother and his baby daughter (my niece) so that he keeps his car warm during the cold months. The Compustar CS-920-S is an entry level remote starter kit. The included 1-way remotes are 1000 feet in range with no audible or visual confirmation indicating your car is locked/unlocked/remote started/trunk opened. The LED turns solid blue when pressing the buttons. One single press on the Lock or Unlock buttons to operate the door locks on your car. The Trunk release button must be pressed and held down for 2.5 seconds to open your car's trunk (if trunk is wired to the remote start module). To remote start the car, the remote start button (the button with the asterisk) must be pressed and held down for 2.5 seconds. Whereas, 2-way remotes will give you either sound and/or visual confirmation when pressing the buttons on the remotes. BUT, the module that comes with this kit, the CM900 module, is compatible with other Compustar 2-way remotes including fancy 2-way remotes with the LCD. So, if later on you need longer range 2-way remotes then there is no need to buy a new remote starter, all you have to do is buy a 2-way remotes kit (remove old antenna, plug in new antenna and program the new remotes to the system as indicated in page 5 of the installation manual) This module is also compatible with DroneMobile technology. The CM900 module is very small in size and is only good for remote starting automatic transmission vehicles. This module is not alarm upgradable since it does not have the necessary ports, siren port, shock sensor port, etc. The CM900 module has a built-in slot used for the bypass Blade-AL or Blade-TB by iDatalink. This module also has two additional bypass ports used for iDatalink AL-CA or Fortin bypass modules. Out the box the module is preconfigured and the wiring diagram is underneath the module indicating the default configuration. To change the features and Programmable Outputs or POC, you will need the Compustar OP-500 or the iDatalink ADS-USB interface. The OP-500 is more expensive than the ADS-USB interface. The advantage of the ADS-USB interface is that you can change the POC options and features online and you can also upload the firmware to the bypass module as required for each vehicle. I had to enable two options: Double Pulse Unlock and Tach Mode. The CM900 module is set as "Tachless Mode" this mode is not as reliable as "Tach mode" when the remote start has to crank the engine during cold months, see page 6 of the installation manual. This remote starter was installed in a 2003 Toyota Corolla which required no bypass module. This cut down on the installation time i had to spend working on this car.
