Quick Reference

Valet Mode

When servicing or loaning your vehicle to others, the CompuStar Pro system should be in Valet mode.

Valet mode prevents the system from remote starting and disables all alarm functions.

IMPORTANT: While in Valet mode the CompuStar will still lock and unlock power lock systems. The

parking lights will not flash.

The system can be put into valet one of two ways;

1. Turn the vehicles key to the ignition “on” position and tap buttons

simultaneously for 0.5 seconds. The parking lights will flash once and/or siren chirp once to

confirm the system is in valet mode. Repeat this process to take the system out of valet mode. The

parking lights will flash twice and/or siren chirp once to confirm the system is out of valet mode.

2. If you don’t have your remote control, you can put the system into valet by turning the ignition key “on”

and then “off” five times within 7 seconds. The parking lights will flash once to confirm the system is in

valet mode. Shortly after the first flash, the parking lights will flash twice. A remote control is required to

take the system out of valet mode. IMPORTANT: If your system is set up for a secure valet option, you

will not be able to put the system into valet until the proper code has been entered to the secure valet

switch (see page 10 for details).

Remote Maintenance – Battery Replacement

The only regular maintenance this system requires is remote control battery replacement.

No programming is required when replacing the battery.

One-Way Remote: Model P1W900FMR and Model P1WSHR (US Style)

First, remove the small Phillips screw located on the back of the remote. Once the screw has been

removed, gently pull the remote apart being careful to not touch the circuit board. These remotes require

two CR2025 batteries. These specialty batteries can be purchased from your local CompuStar dealer or

an electronics store. IMPORTANT: Be sure to observe correct polarity when installing the battery.

One-Way Remote: Model P1WAMR and Model P1WSHR (Canada Style)

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.

Sending Commands

When in range, and a command has been sent, the remote LED will illuminate. For example, to send a

remote start command from the remote, hold down the Key/Start button for 2.5 seconds. The remote

LED will illuminate and the vehicle’s parking lights will flash and/or siren chirp once to show the

command has been sent. Once the vehicle has successfully remote started, the vehicle’s parking lights

will come on solid and/or siren chirp twice.

Active Lock/Arm and Unlock/Disarm

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 lock.

to unlock; if your vehicle is unlocked, tap button

IMPORTANT: If the alarm has been triggered (Siren is going off), you must wait up to 5 seconds before

disarming the alarm – the first

system.

button tap will shut off the alarm and the second will unlock/disarm the

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).

IMPORTANT: Your vehicle’s key must be inserted into the ignition and turned to the “on” position prior

to driving your vehicle. If the foot brake is depressed prior to the key being in the “on” position, the

vehicle will shut off.

Manual Transmission Remote Start Function (Reservation Mode)

In order to remote start a manual transmission vehicle, the system must first be set in Reservation Mode.

Reservation Mode must be set each and every time you want to remote start a manual transmission

vehicle. The purpose of Reservation Mode is to leave the transmission in neutral before exiting the

vehicle.

IMPORANT;

•

The transmission must be left in the neutral position.

The vehicles windows must be rolled up.

The vehicles door pins must be in working order.

Do not install this remote start on a manual transmission vehicle that has a convertible or

removable top.

•

Do not set reservation mode or remote start with people in the vehicle.

Activating Reservation Mode

STEP 1: While the vehicle is running, place the transmission in neutral, set the emergency / parking

brake, and remove pressure from the foot brake.

STEP 2: Remove the key from the vehicle’s ignition. The vehicle’s engine should remain running even

after the key has been removed. If the vehicle does not remain running make sure your system is not in

Valet mode and then contact your local authorized CompuStar dealer for service.

STEP 3: Exit the vehicle and close the door. The vehicle’s engine should shut off within 10 seconds

upon closing the last door. Most motors will shut off instantly upon closing the last door. If the vehicle’s

engine does not shut off, your door trigger may be functioning improperly. Do not use the remote-start

feature and take your vehicle to a local authorized CompuStar dealer for service.

IMPORTANT: By default, the system will lock/arm the vehicle upon setting reservation mode. Take care

to not lock your keys inside the vehicle.

Cancelling Reservation Mode

Reservation mode will be cancelled for the following reasons;

•

You did not activate the parking brake prior to turning off the ignition.

You pressed the foot brake after the key was removed from the ignition.

You released the parking brake after the key was removed from the ignition.

You entered valet mode, opened the vehicles door, hood, trunk or set off the alarm.

Reservation Mode Settings

Reservation mode settings can be programmed with Option 1-6. It is recommended that reservation

mode settings are programmed by your local authorized CompuStar dealer.

Default 1: Locks doors when reservation mode is set.

Option 2: Does not lock doors when reservation mode is set.

Option 3: Reservation mode sets 10 seconds after the last door is closed, as opposed to immediately.

This option will allow you to access the vehicles rear doors, trunk or hatch prior to the system setting

reservation and passively locking/arming.

Trunk Release

Hold button

for 2.5 seconds to release the trunk or hatch. If you are in range, the

vehicle’s parking lights will flash once and/or siren chirp once indicating that the trunk release

command has been successfully transmitted. IMPORTANT: Trunk release is an optional vehicle feature

that may require additional parts and labor.

Auxiliary Outputs/Window Roll-Down/Sliding Doors

Your system is equipped with two additional outputs that can be configured to control windows, open

power sliding doors, open a power sliding moon roof, or even turn on a rear defroster. These outputs can

be configured for pulsed, timed or latched settings. Your authorized CompuStar dealer can set these

outputs up accordingly. Using auxiliary outputs to control additional vehicle functions will require

additional parts and can be rather labor extensive.

Tap button

for 0.5 seconds to trigger auxiliary output 1. Tap button

for 0.5

seconds to trigger auxiliary output 2. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash once and/or siren chirp once

indicating that the auxiliary outputs have been triggered.

By default, the system is in secure auxiliary mode, which requires you to hold buttons

for 2.5 seconds prior to triggering auxiliary 1 or 2. To turn off secure auxiliary, ask your authorized

CompuStar dealer to turn on Option 4-5 to setting II.

Silent Arm/Disarm

Upon lock/arm and unlock/disarm, you can eliminate vehicle’s audible confirmation by muting

the siren. Normally, the siren will chirp once to indicate the system is locked/armed and twice

to indicate the system is unlocked/disarmed. To mute the siren tap buttons

simultaneously for 0.5 seconds. IMPORTANT: Even when the siren is muted, it will still go off in the

event the alarm is triggered.

Shock Sensor On/Off

Hold buttons

simultaneously for 2.5 seconds to turn on and off the shock

sensor. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash once and/or siren chirp once to confirm the shock

sensor is off. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash twice and/or siren chirp twice to confirm the shock

sensor is on. IMPORTANT: Turning off the shock sensor also turns off the optional sensor(s).

Adjusting the shock sensor sensitivity is done at the actual sensor, which is generally mounted

somewhere under the vehicle’s dashboard. The higher the number on the dial means greater sensitivity

to impact. The recommended dial setting for most vehicles is somewhere between 2 & 4. If you are

testing your sensor, please note that the shock sensor does not recognize impact for 30 seconds after

the system has been armed.

Advanced System Functions

The following section reviews advanced system functions. Many of these functions require multiple steps

or additional programming by your local authorized CompuStar dealer to be active.

Drive Lock/Ignition Controlled Door Locks

Tap buttons

simultaneously for 0.5 seconds to turn drive lock on and off

(also known as ignition controlled door locks). The vehicle’s parking lights will flash once and/or siren

chirp once to confirm drive lock is off. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash twice and/or siren chirp twice

to confirm drive lock is on.

IMPORTANT: Drive lock mode requires that the dealer turn on Option 1-9. Drive lock has two settings;

Default 1: Off

Option 2: Locks the doors when the ignition is on and after the brake is depressed.

Option 3: Locks the doors when the RPM’s have reached two times that of idle speed (this setting

requires that a tachometer wire is connected) This feature may require additional labor and is not

available on the P1W900FM-A, P1WSH-A, or P1WAM-A systems.

With both settings, the doors will unlock when the ignition is turned off. If using this feature on a manual

transmission vehicle, the doors will unlock upon setting the emergency / parking brake.

Turbo Timer Mode

The built-in turbo timer keeps the vehicles engine running for either 1, 2, or 4 minutes

(programmable from dealer with Option 2-2) after the vehicle key has been removed from the

ignition. This feature will keep oil running through the turbo system to allow for appropriate

cooling time. Tap buttons

simultaneously for 0.5 seconds to turn on or off

turbo mode. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash once and/or siren chirp once to confirm turbo mode is

on. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash twice and/or siren chirp twice to confirm turbo mode is off.

IMPORTANT: To utilize this feature, the emergency / parking brake wire must be connected to the

CompuStar system. Consult your local authorized CompuStar dealer for installation.

2^ndCar Mode (Multiple Vehicle Control)

The P1WSHR (US Style) remotes have the ability to operate two vehicles using only one

remote. Hold buttons

simultaneously for 2.5 seconds to turn on or off 2^ndcar

mode. The remote LED will flash slowly to confirm that 2^ndcar mode is activated.

IMPORTANT: 2^ndcar mode requires the remote to be programmed to a 2^ndvehicle that is equipped with

either a (US Style) P1WSH-AS, P1WSH-A or P1WSH-S.

Secure Valet Switch

The optional Secure Valet Switch prevents the alarm from being put into valet mode through cycling the

ignition on/off five times. The Secure Valet Switch is more secure than traditional toggle / valet switches

because it requires a two digit code. IMPORTANT: The first two digits of the RPS unlock/disarm pass

code will be the default pass code for the secure valet – you do not need to program them

independently. If you are not using the RPS unlock, following the below procedures to program your

secure valet pass code;

STEP 1: Turn on Option 3-10-III. (Dealer programmed option)

STEP 2: Turn ignition key to the “on” position.

STEP 3: Hold down the valet switch for 1.5 seconds. The LED on the valet switch will begin to flash

rapidly with successful completion of this step.

STEP 4: Enter the first digit of the desired two digit pass code by depressing the switch the number of

times that coordinates with the desired first number. For example, to enter 3, depress the switch 3 times,

then wait.

STEP 5: The LED will confirm the first number by flashing BLUE slowly. Once the LED begins to flash

rapidly, enter your second number by repeating step 4.

STEP 6: Turn the ignition off - the Secure Valet Switch is now programmed. Follow steps 3 – 5 to enter

your Secure Valet code.

Timer Start Mode

Timer start mode is used to cool or warm the vehicle without manually starting with the key or

from the CompuStar remote. While engaged, timer start will activate even while the remote is

out of range. Tap buttons

simultaneously for 0.5 seconds to activate timer start mode.

Timer start mode will be cancelled any time the vehicle is started manually or remotely. To change from

the default setting to optional settings, see your local CompuStar dealer.

Default 1: Will start every 3 hours for a 24 hour cycle, or until the vehicle is remote started or started by

key, and run for 4 minutes (8 minutes for diesel).

Option 2: Will start every 1.5 hours for a 24 hour cycle, or until the vehicle is remote started or started by

key, and run for 4 minutes (8 minutes for diesel).

Anti Jacking Mode

The CompuStar systems have a built in mode that would require you to keep your remote separate from

your key chain. This feature also requires additional labor. Please consult your installer for more details.

The Anti Jacking mode allows you to safely disable your vehicle once a thief has driven off with your

property. If you are car jacked and still have your remote, you can panic the system by holding button

down for 4 seconds. The siren will sound for 30 seconds and the motor of the vehicle will shut

down.

Remote Coding / Programming Routine(s)

IMPORTANT: Every CompuStar Pro remote must be coded to the system prior to performing any

operations. All remotes must be coded at the same time.

Programming Your Remotes

STEP 1: Activate Valet/Programming mode by manually turning the ignition key on and off (between the

Acc & On positions) five times within 7 seconds. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash once with the

successful completion of this step.

STEP 2: Within a 5 second period after cycling the ignition for the 5^thtime, press button (I) on two-way

remotes or the Lock button on one-way remotes for 0.5 seconds. The parking lights will flash once to

confirm the transmitter has been coded.

Exiting Programming: Programming is a timed sequence. The parking

lights will flash twice signaling the end of programming mode.

Programming Multiple Remotes: After the confirmation flash given in

step 2, code additional remotes by pressing button (I) on two-way

remotes or the Lock button on one-way remotes. The parking lights

will flash once confirming each additional remote. All systems can

recognize up to three remotes.

Remote Start Error Diagnostic

If the remote start fails to start the vehicle, the parking lights will flash three times immediately. Following

those three flashes the parking lights will flash again corresponding to the error table.
