Hi,

We installed a Pro 2W900FMAs in a 07 Dodge Ram Diesel. We used the bypass kit bypass module. The only problem that we are having is the unit defalts to a start time of 3 min not 15.

Now the weird part is the back up white remote starts for 15 but the 2 way displays and starts for only 3 min.

I called Compustar and they have no idea about it.

Anyone lese have similiar issues?

Thanks

Have you used the programmer to change the start time & then reprogram both remote controls ?

yes. it is diesel and changed the wait to start time to 40 seconds.

Other than that no. But why would it do it only on the 2 way,. It is not a remote issue as i have changed it already

Try swapping out the brain, if its only the 2 way it could be something with the comm circuit.

Hey did you try to replace your antenna? That can be the issue as well. Try antenna first.

i worked at an authorized pro dealer shop and those things are junk they should save everyone the trouble and dont even release the new ss models until they address all the problems with their current products the vs1 models suck too had a cold spell -4 deg. they dont work pulled the vehicle in and took a heat gun to the module got it about 30 to 40 degrees and then it worked properly. COMPUSTAR way overrated. QC sucks 3 years ago there products were good.

So is it the SS models that have the majority of the problems....or the entire line up of the "pro" product?

The  Pros have alot of bugs and glitches in it.

The remotes tend to stop transmitting, or one of the buttons stop working. Most of my problems ive encoutered with the Pro have all been Remote issues.

Yes i believe the Pro was released WAY WAY too early.

The older 900's are all awesome, never had one problem yet! and ive done tons of them
