General System Functions General System Functions
The remote transmitter functions have been predetermined and programmed from the factory. The four
button configuration allows for many functions to be performed through a series of tapping, holding and /
or multiple presses of buttons. Although CompuStar PRO remotes have numerous button functions and
capabilities, please keep in mind that the most common functions are performed in one simple step.

Tap button for 0.5 seconds to lock/arm and unlock/disarm. The LED will flash on your
remote. If your vehicle is locked, tap button to unlock; if your vehicle is unlocked, tap button
to lock.
IMPORTANT: If the alarm has been triggered (Siren is going off), you must wait up to 5 seconds before
disarming the alarm – the first button tap will shut off the alarm and the second will unlock/disarm the
system.
Passive Lock/Arm
The system can be configured to passively lock and arm the vehicle. Put the system in
passive by taping buttons simultaneously for 0.5 seconds. The vehicle will
flash the lights once and/or siren chirp once to indicate the system is in passive lock and
arming mode. Tap the same buttons again to turn passive mode off. The parking lights will flash twice
and/or siren chirp twice to show it is off
While in passive mode, the system will lock and arm the alarm 30 seconds after the last door is closed.
As an indicator that the vehicle is going to passively lock and arm, the remote and siren will chirp once
and the parking lights will flash once at both 10 and 20 seconds prior to passively locking and arming. If
you want the system to passively arm and not passively lock, ask your local CompuStar dealer to turn
Option 1-8 to setting II.
Automatic Transmission Remote Start Function
Press the button for 2.5 seconds to remote start an automatic transmission vehicle. If you are in
range and if the vehicle is ready to remote start, the parking lights will flash once and/or siren chirp once
to indicate that the remote-start command has been successfully transmitted.
If you are in range and the parking lights flash and/or vehicle’s siren chirps three times, there is a remote
start error. Refer to the “remote start error diagnostic” on
page 13 of this manual for details.
The remote-start run-time can be programmed for 3, 15, 25, or 45 minutes - ask your local
CompuStar dealer to adjust Option 2-7 if you would like a run-time other than 15 minutes
(default).
