I finally got my Compustar alarm installed... Then I tried to go through the remote learning procedure as outlined in the manual. I switched the ignition on and off 5 times, then my parking lights flashed once and I heard the relay click inside the brain. 5 seconds later my parking lights flash two more times and then nothing happens. I put the battery in the remote and on the display it only shows full battery charge and a transmitting icon for like 30 seconds, then it beeps 3 times with all the icons lighting up and then stops, showing just the battery charge. I can press buttons and it will show the transmitting icon, but nothing else happens. So what could be wrong?? And how could I get the other 1 way remote to be learned?? May be the 2way is messed up. Any ideas????
PS. For a note, I have to say that I didn't connect my sensors yet, tach wire and connector #2...I don't know if it matters though.

I think I solved the remote problem. The Compustar manuals are so crap, it's not even funny anymore. I was searching for a while and read that after you insert the battery, you have to press button I on both remotes to make them work. So I am happy the remote is working.
Now, I have more questions... I armed the alarm and tried to open a door to test it and nothing happened, no sound. Same was with the hood, I opened it and it didn't sound. I attached my shock sensor and tried to shake it with my hand...The alarm went off after I shook it for about 10 seconds and for some reason I couldn't shut up the alarm with the remote by pressing button I. I had to disconnect the car battery... Now, I'm thinking, may be I accidently held button IV for 2 secs which activated the panic?? It's weird...
While I was playing with the remote, it all of a sudden stopped responding to all my commands except arm/disarm. I think I got it to valet mode, but is this how it should work in valet mode?? I couldn't get out of the valet mode by holding button I+III. The transmitting icon didn't appear... So is this normal??
