My compustar 2wss remote does not sync

Toggle ign five times, parking lights flash twice, but remote does not communicate after installing battery. This is an install that worked well on the first week, could get 5 blocks reception. Then I started to have an intermittent problem and the door wouldnt unlock unless I hit the remote button a few times. Now its just dead in the water. Is compustar that bad ? I'm ready to throw it away and tell everyone on every forum I know to avoid them like the plague. Mind you, it was a unit bought on ebay from a claimed dealer. Evrything was packaged as new and the unit did work, for a while.

if i might add, at one time and another I cycled ign 5 times and after about a 30 seconds it locked the doors. Something aint right.

I just read what Jeff had to say, "You have to toggle the ignition ON-OFF 5 times within 3 seconds for programming. Also, make sure that you have the GREEN wire from the CN1 harness attached to the PINK wire at the ignition." Although neither of the manuals, remote or brain mention 3 seconds, which would be a pretty good feat, I will try. Or send a bill for a new ign cylinder :)

I'm not giving up yet, Kartune. I suppose its possible the units sold on ebay are early rev's of the 2wss, which may have the dreaded remote problems. I would still be a little miffed that those units made it into the wild.

One of the MAJOR problems with those old ss models is, they took a long time to send and recieve. Then nothing happens and they user pushes the buttons again....nothing happens so one more push. You have just sent that darn thing into a tizzie. Get ahold of Jeff @ Velocity...he's the compustar guru.

I have seen no reference in the manuals, why would the brain flash my parking lights TWICE after shooting for valet/programming mode ????

OK, so i been diggin' around with it today. I try to enter program mode, cycling ign 5 times in so many seconds. The parking lights flash once and I insert the battery, then about 5 or ten seconds later the parking lights flash twice. The remote never syncs. pretty disappointing.

Do you have a one way remote? Does it work?

no, just a two way. but you make a good point, i should get a one way to test.
