compustar 2w901r ss programing?

Thanks exactly what I wanted...

I don't think it's option 13 though,  it's should be menu 2 option 6 and level 3??

Will probably be looking for an OP500 in the New year, if I can't get in to see the installer in a timely fashion.

I DO have the timer option enabled, but it is starting the truck every 3 hours and I work 12 hour shifts (waste of fuel)

SO I also want to shut down menu 2 option 5 (cold start)

I just want it to start when I program it to, 15 mins before the end of my shift

Menu 2, Option 6 is Cold/Hot start using thermometer! You don't want this.. 2-13 Timer Mode - This option turns the remote start timer mode on the system. This feature must also be turned on by the remote you want Menu 2 option 13, which will enable you to set a start time Via 2-way remote control. User manual tells how to do this, but option 13 needs to be enabled. I found how to get to the option using 2-way remote as well, so you don't need one way. With alarm unlocked Hold F+Trunk Hold F+Key Press Key 13 times Press Trunk for Option 2 (ON) should chirp back three times . I've tested it on mine. Then on Remote, hold 2.5sec Trunk+Key, press F until TMR flashes and time displays, press LOCK/UNLOCk to set time to start. Press trunk+key 2.5sec to get out of the remote menu. Press F twice, press Unlock, to enable TMR.

Took me less than 5 min to do this, I'd say OP500 is overkill for this. Just be sure to go by the chirps. Press F slowly 13 times, too fast, it won't register. Make sure WAIT after 13 times pressed, until you hear 13 chirps, and then tap Trunk.

I mean, press Key 13 times, sorry said F by mistake.

By the way, I believe, for 2-way it's 1 = F 2 = Trunk 3 = Lock 4 = Key 5 = Unlock I might have 3 and 5 mixed up, but 1,2 and 4 should be correct.

Hey otterslide

I TOTALLY appreciateyour help!!

I know that 2-13 is already enabled as I can select to enter a start time (installer got that part right)

BUT...  I think he also enabled cold start using the thermistor which is menu 2-5 either setting 2 or 4

ALSO menu 2-6 is enabled and is set to option 1 (default) cold starting every 3 hours

SO, what I need to do is ensure option 2-5 is set to 1 (default off)

I then need to change 2-6 to option 3 which is Reservation

WHOA... Now my head hurts!!

So lets see if I have this right

Hold F+Trunk

Hold F+Key

Then key 5 times for 2-5 and then function  for option 1???

Then wait awhile for system to exit programming...

Then

Hold F+Trunk

Hold F+Key

Then key 6 times for 2-6 then lock for option 3???

Then I should be good to go...

First part is correct, Hold F+Trunk until chirp Hold F+Key until chirp but second was not: I did some tests since I wasn't sure how to select option 3, and came up with these buttons based on the chirps that came back when I pressed them: Lock = Option 1 (one chirp) Unlock = Option 2 (two chirps) Trunk = Option 3 (three chirps) Key = Option 4 (four chirps) just make sure "Then key 5 times for 2-5 and then *LOCK* for option 1???" you really really "Then key 5 times for 2-5, **WAIT** for 5 chirps, and then 2 more seconds, then tap *LOCK* for option 1" Tap it again if you don't hear the chirp. it's easy to forget the wait part! Every time you hold a key combination, the siren should chirp, if it doesn't, then it didn't register it, so you have to do it again. I think if you choose a non-existent option, like I did 2-13 set to Trunk(3) it chirped 3 times, but really sets it to 2.. it doesn't give an error unfortunately.

And your second part will be Hold F+Trunk until chirp Hold F+Key until chirp Then key 6 times, wait for 6 chirps, wait 2 seconds, then *TRUNK* for option 3. I don't know which 2-way remote you have, but hopefully it will work the same.. I have a 901SS one mile remote. I tested this programming with the turbo timer feature and I can say for sure this is selecting menu 2.

Also, there is no wait for exiting programming in between setting options, as soon as you get it right, it exits. It's all a timed process, if you get it wrong, you'll hear siren for 2 seconds, and exists automatically, no change applied. If you don't hear siren for 2 seconds, you did it right :)

YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

I just set my turbro timer to what I wanted (1min)

I do believe I have the TIMED starting set correctly too!!!

The testing you did is correct LOCK is option 1, TRUNK is option 3...

I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!

I just hope I counted correctly and didn't change anything else

I will have to test tommorw to make sure it's not starting every 3 hours, but it did flash the 3 times for option 3...

 (reservation start, not based on cold start, set to runtime, in my case 45mins)

THANKS A MILLION!!  I know this will help alot of people with the new style remote!!

By the way I do have the 901SS with 1 mile range, but with all the buildings in the way I wasn't able to remote start within a mile....
