Compustar RF-Pw1g4-900fm not starting in cold weather

Vehicle type: 2007 Toyota matrix; 2007 Toyota Rav4, 2008 Toyota Siena, 2007 Ford F150.

Problem: after sitting all day or all night In cold weather (below 10 degrees fahrenheit) the remote starter will no longer respond. No lock/unlock control, no start function. But vehicle starts fine off key. Then if you let it warm up and try the remote start again it works fine.

Tried calling tech support they advised us to move/replace the antenna which we have done and it didnt help. Replaced the Blade-TB which didnt help.

there are problems with some of the CM6000 antennas. if the unit still engages but does not start, most likely you missed a second start wire on the toyotas.
