I recently accidentally left my lights on and killed my battery. I got the vehicle boosted. When the battery was dead I turned the alarm to reservation mode. The car started right away I had only left them on for about an hour so it wasn't completely dead. I then took it out of reservation mode after I had finished my 20 min drive. Now when I use the remote start the vehicle run time has changed from 25 min to 45 min. It also takes 5 min to show this on the remote and also before it starts. How did this change, is this not a manual switch on the brain set during install? How do I fix this problem please Help!!!

I Touched nothing

Most remote starter systems that I've seen can not handle "battery boosting" and causes problems thereafter. Try removing the unit from the wire harness for about 30 minutes and reconnect. If this doesn't work, you will need to send the CPU and antenna in for warranty at the Compustar dealer that you purchased this unit from ( as long as you had it installed and purchased at an authorized dealer, it will have lifetime warranty on it )
