Help me out. I'm down to these two alarm system. I don't care for the remote starter, I will not use it anyway.

my take:

Autopage - lots of features, love the vibrating feature on the remote - this can be handy when you're in a meeting.

Compustar - love the remote and the 2 optional outputs. I've been told the newer Compustar are more reliable.

which company have been around longer?

Are you installing it or someone else ?? Look at warranty issues as well as if you do it yourself, will warranty be void or not. Compustar I know you can not get warranty if someone other than an authorized installer installs it.

are u going to use it for a 5-speed?

the compustar looks better, i regret getting my autopage...i got range problems but then other ppl seem to have good range...maybe my car sux or my autopage is defective

the vibrate for the remote is indeed pretty good though

and with autopage if u want it to glow u have to press the button to make it glow the backgroudn green..with compustar any button u press it wil glow, waste of battery though

if it's the install..what could it be? like everytying works fine...just that...isn't it just plug the wire straight from the antena into the brain??

or if he extended the wire for antena?
