If this was installed by a local +12V shop, the Compustar system has a very nice guarantee.  Bring it back and let them make it right. 

The Blade supplies the Compustar with a Tach signal, so you might verify that the FT7200 is still set to Tach Mode and a successful Tach Learn was done.

Soldering is fun!

I ended up doing it myself today. (yesterday it was -10C, today above
freezing) I keep thinking I set something wrong in Option group 2-01
(tach sensing method) I set it to optimal tach method. 2-10 engine sensing, I set it to tach. I wonder I should set it to alternator?
All other functions alright. Is there a tach signal learning period
after install.?

Tach learning procedure:
Learn tach by: (1.) Starting the vehicle with the key, (2.) Press and hold the foot brake, then (3.) Activate the
remote start sequence - one chirp and parking light flash indicates that the vehicle tach signal has been
successfully learned. Three chirps and three parking light flashes indicate that the control module failed to
see a proper tach signal.
Soldering is fun!

Thank you so much. I step thru the procedure with normal idle 700rpm.
It work OK now. Thanks, again. One thing I found out, I had to set
both trunk release, power liftgate option together to make the power
liftgate work. I did not realize my vision is not as good as it used to be. Barely managed to finish the job, soldering and all. Took almost 3 hours.
Thanks again very much.

As addendum regarding late model Subaru engines. There is known issues with some about incorrect cam sensor gap or sensor mounting position from the factory causing poor idle(rpm fluctuation) and poor starting.
OEM battery has only 390CCA rating. When temp. hit below freezing little bit already cranking speed was marginal. Imagine when temp. hits
-20C, when I check Acura RDX battery CCA rating was 610.
