compustar 2w90fmsa setting run time.

I believe you need to change Option 2-07.  There are 4 choices: 1=15min(default), 2=25min, 3=45min, and 4=3min.

Using your 2 way remote, do the following:

1.  To get into Option Menu 2.  Press and hold buttons 1 & 2 for 2.5 seconds, then press and hold buttons 1 & 4 for 2.5 seconds.

2.  Tap button 4 to step thru Menu 2 options1 thru 6 & get to 2-07.  (press button 4 & wait for lights flash / siren chip for each step.)

3. Once you get to 2-07 wait until the lights flashes 7 times to confirm location.

4.  Then press the button that corresponds to your run time choice, 1-4. 

The instructions above are for the CM5000 series.  I have never used the remotes to program Compustar units.  I use the OP500 programmer, but if  you need more detail, let me know.

There is a dipsitch to double the time it runs on the CM3000 brain. I can't remember off hand which one, but there is only two on it. One is for the Tach/Alt sense and the other for run-time. I'll see if I can find my manual...

Here, one of the members here posted up a manual in .pdf:

https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/file.asp?ID=355

It's the second page in the diagram it says " 15(25)/25(45) " on the upper left side by the loop. Those are the run times. You want it in the On postion to double the time (what ever it's not on now most likely.)

A question first.  Did you try the programming procedure above and did it work ( change the run time )?

Next question.  Is your system a remote start only or remote start & alarm?    R/S=CM5200  R/S + alarm = CM5000

Here is a link to the options on the CM5000 system:  http://www.compustar.com/remotestartalarm/MaxItDetails.pdf

There are procedural differences between the 2 way remote and the one way remote when doing option programming.  As above, the instructions are for the 2 way remote.

Option Menu 1  = Buttons 1 & 2 for 2.5 secs, then buttons 1 & 2 for 2.5 secs.

Option Menu 2  = as above.

Option Menu 3  = Buttons 1 & 4 for 2.5 secs, then buttons 1 & 2 for 2.5 secs.

Option Menu 4  = Buttons 1 & 4 for 2.5 secs, then buttons 1 & 4 for 2.5 secs.

Good Luck!

Strange.  It seems to program but doesn't.   Does the truck still run the entire 25 minutes or turn off at the new time setting?  I would try to look under the dash on the drivers side to see if I could locate the Compustar control unit and get the model number from it ( black sticker with white numbers).  Here is the link to the CM5200 program options:  http://www.compustar.com/remotestart/StartItDetails.pdf  Option 2-07 is the same.

As a test, I took a new CM5200 out of the box and hooked it up on the bench.  I programmed a one way remote to it ( thats all I have on hand ) and went thru the process you did.  I changed Option 2-07 to 2 from the default of 1.  Then I went in with the OP500 to verify the change.  It worked OK.

Do you have a one way remote?  The procedure is the same, just the buttons are changed.

Menu 2 is Lock + Unlock for 2.5 secs, then Lock + Key/Start for 2.5 secs. 

Hold Trunk + Key/Start for 2.5 secs to step thru each option,1-6, (getting the flash at each step) ,stop at 7 and get 7 flashes. 

Tap Lock for 1, Unlock for 2, Key/Start for 3 and Press Trunk + Key/Start for 2.5 secs for 4.

There is a reset procedure for the entire group but that will set all options in Group 2 back to defaults, affecting other areas.  I would suggest a return trip to the install shop first.

I got your update after I finished my last reply.  Good news!  However, you might have changed Option 1-07.  It controls UnLock/Disarm/Trunk...

I have the CM5200 install manual but it is 6.2 meg, too big to post on this site.  I can EMail it to you.  PM me with your EMail address.
