Super helpful video as I was unfamiliar with all the different terminologies, functions, and product lines.

Yep

I hear Viper has some new remotes coming out real soon. Im excited to see what they are, only because im curious. I dont think anything can top the T12 / CMX combo in my opinion! Especially with the VAISTECH SEER that ive tied into it!

Viper / DIrected (specifically their parent company VOXX) is planning a revamp of the entire Viper line, which I believe will be including new key fobs. No idea on time frame for this though, looks to be 4th quarter of 2024 at the earliest, and will more than likely be early 2025

What about the T13?

I wish Compustar have us the option to activate / deactivate certain alarm sensors from the remote or phone app. For instance if parking at home in the garage, you can just arm a certain sensor, butnif parking at a busy/sketchy area, be able to arm more sensors. That would be really cool!

Technically, this is possible using AUX outputs, *but* you (the user) would need to know which AUX output is turning on or off which sensor. This is NOT a native feature though, where there are actual indications given as to which sensor is turned on or off, it would be a custom set up done using the Compustar AUX outputs, of which there can be up to 8 aux outs available (default system availability being Aux 1 and Aux 2)

Will the Q9 work with any vehicle?

Hello. Very good informative video, many thanks. I bought the CS2WQ900-AS but have not received it yet, I have Mazdaspeed 3 2007 model which used to start with a key but I converted it to a start/stop push button and I do have the kit to bypass the key immobilizer, now, do I need anything else to the CS2WQ900-AS to achieve Remote Start? And finally, what options does the CS2WQ900-AS come with in the box? Cheers

If you have the immobilizer bypass then you should not need anything further, however if your Mazdaspeed is manual transmission than the CS2WQ900-AS will not work, as it is for automatic vehicles only.

@@LockdownSecurity Thanks mate for your reply, is there a way to bypass the manual check, I can get a signal if the gear stick is in neutral position then I can pass that signal to the compustar as if it is automatic, and if the car is not in neutral then the signal would be negative? Cheers

@LockdownSecurity

@@AhmedBahgat Not safe to do it that way, if the neutral sense signal ever fails, and the car is in gear, and you remote start, see ya later car, it will drive until it hits something. You have to use a manual transmission compatible (safe) remote start on a manual vehicle, it's the only truly safe way of doing it. You need a Compustar CMX controller, and a Compustar FT-DASII sensor.

Excuse my ignorance, I know you where comparing when it came to newer cars with fob keys, which you would recommend for a 1995?

1995 make and model, what make and model vehicle is it?

Hi, i Have 2019 Acura rdx. I need a remote starter that will let me run my car's ac for more than 30 min. Ideally 60 min since i work with K9 and need the temperature be low during summer. Which unit would you recommend. Thanks so much.

Would either of the Viper models be considered a passive system whereby if you turn off, exit, and lock the vehicle, it automatically becomes 'armed' ? Also since you explained how the Viper model tends to be more of a 'bundle,' am I correct in assuming if I want the 2-way remote I have to get the model that gets the remote start installed as well? Would one of the Viper-parent-company smartphone apps support the 3105V too and what exactly can be done through the app?

@LockdownSecurity

You can configure either brand (Compustar or Viper) to passively arm, and also passively arm + lock (riskier to set as you could lock yourself out), thereby creating an auto arming setup. As for Viper, yes, if you buy one of the analogue systems, you must buy the version that comes with the 2-way LCD, they are not upgradeable per se (like Compustar can be). Now, for DS4 from Directed/Viper, these can be "upgraded" using a 2-way key fob kit, but the analogue systems (as I show in he video) require you to buy them equipped, with the key fob of your choice (not easily upgradeable). Viper 3105V is NOT compatible with SmartStart (Directed's smartphone system).

Changing brands makes for disgruntled installers. Better have donuts on hand :)

We agree, this can cause issues if the vendor is a single brand only vendor, this is one of the reasons we carry multiple brands, so that our installers can be familiar with as many as possible.

Compustar is more DYI if you wanna install it yourself.

17:21 Is the tilt sensor able to differentiate between towing vs. going up a steep hill/off-roading/uneven terrain?

Your alarm is not active when driving so the tilt sensor as well as the other sensors are obsolete

The digital tilt sensors, set themselves up to whatever angle there are at when the system arms, meaning if the vehicle is on an incline or decline when parked and armed, the sensor will detect variances (tilt change) from whatever angle they were armed at. As the other commenters mentioned, while driving the sensors will not be active.

We were hoping to learn more about parasitic draws of the two systems.

VIPER IS BETTER !
