Unit: Compustar 2W900FM-AS

Vehicle: 05 Subaru Impreza STi

Transmission: Manual (please disregard the AT versus MT trannies, its not my big concern)

Problem: 900FM unit wont let me use A/T mode. I cutted the loop but i still had to use reservation mode.

Question: Was there soemthing wrong w/ this unit or did i left something out?

Jeff or anyone thats familiar w/ compustar units, please chime in.

The units come pre-programmed from Compustar. Cutting the loop doesn't do anything anymore. If you want it to work in automatic mode, you will need to get a new brain.

You find the NSS wire ok and wire it up as I described?

Unless you have an "older" unit. Did I read your post correctly, you have a manual transmission vehicle...and you wish to use the remote start brain in autotrans mode?? You don't want to have to monitor the door pins and ebrake? Sorry, but I'm confused! Whats the benefit?

The car has a wire at the ECU that indicates whether it is in gear or not. I already told him how to wire that so it won't start in gear.

yeah te NSS is perfectly fine but the loop got me puzzled.

so theres no way around gettin the unit to go into AT mode?

rightnow, the customer is using reservation mode, which is fine.

Jeff was asking if the sticker on the brain said CM3000, CM3000A, or CM3000M.

If you hooked up the parking brake wire with the loop cut it will still want to go into ready mode.
