I jsut got a Compustar 2WSS-AS. I want to hook this up without using the remote start. Does anyone know if there are certain wires that still need to be connected for the alarm to work? I installed Hornet 2 way last year that had a remote start but we didn't want to use it, I still ahd to hook up the ignition switched wire in the remote start harness though. I'm just wondering if I have to do something liek that for this alarm too. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

compustar is one of those simple alarm to install, the diagram is pretty straight forward. if you can install DEI, am sure you can install compustars.

BTW, thats a waste of money and technology not to use RS.....lol

I have the alarm installed, switched all wires from old alarm over. Problem now is that I get no response with either remote. Do I need to have the tach sensing wire hooked up? hood pin? e-brake? what other wires do I need to hook up? I haven't used any of the output wires.

I don't want to install remote start for security reasons. It's a long story but I have a good reason. I would never use it so why hook it up. Quick, simple Compustar 2WSS-AS Question -- posted image.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I managed to get it working. I didn't realize how fast you had to turn the key on and off to get into programming mode.

One more problem though, how do I get my 1 way remote to work? Thanks.

yeah, the only thing i hate about compustar is that it doesnt preprogram the remote for you.

Go through the same programming sequence as per instruction manual for the 1 way remote control

I can't seem to find the programming sequence for the one way remote? I read both manuals. I found the section about programming buttons but the brain still doesn't recognize the 1 way remote. Antone know he programming sequence? Thanks.

it's the exact same sequence that you went through for programming your other remote. in fact, you should program them both, on after the other, in one shot.

i've commonly had troubles with that secondary remote though. it's not unusual that you have to whack it or shake it a few times in order for it to work at all. does the led on the remote light up when you press on the buttons? try taking it apart and re-assembling it. if all else fails, you may have to warranty that remote.
