what the heck is a compustar wfm2-as?

 

great purchase!!! You will love your alarm once you get it installed

 

thanks....i assume you have it too? have you had any problems with it how much did you spend on install any tips? thanks

JON LERD

 

i got my compustar for 450 installed plus i added on a proximity sensor to protect the rims and hids

 

do you know how much the install was alone? thanks

 

I paid $700 for the alarm and installation when it first came out. I always feel safe about my ride Sometimes friends will come over and make my safty alarm go off while i'm inside. A couple times I jumped over my patio with a golf club to see my friends trying to get my attention

I still wanted to hit them with the golf club LOL!!
Luxury cars should come with a pager alarm from the factory!!

I paid $400 for the whole alarm and $300 for installation. Installation took around 2 1/2 hours.

 

yeah they used to do that to me all the time,,,theres a few different two way alarms on the market now im hoping the range will get better as time will goes on.

 

damn omg...the installation is more than what i got the alarm for!!! geez ok well thanks for the info..i just found out the model i have isnt the -AS but the A so im trying to get it changed right now....how offten do you use the Starter function? do you think its worth it to spend 50 bucks more on the starter part? thanks

JON LERD

 

Where can you get one from.....I've gone on thier website and emailed them to send me a local dealer and they never got back to me. Can someone tell me where I can get one as well as where to get it installed????

 

the guy i know that sells em is in the bronx.... but if u go thru the phone book and call the local radio alarm shops ....just ask em if they carry the compustar alarm n get some quotes ,,,remember cash is king so what ever they tell u ,,,,theres lots of room for negotiation. there worse then car dealers !.....i used to be an installer so i know

 

how hard is it to install one of these things.. since you are an installer?

 

its a good two hours of work,,,depends on the car and how hard it is to get access to the wires under the dash and depending on what options u want like remote start , proximity detector , additional led lights that adds time to the installation ....its not as hard as installing an alpine 8080 thats for damm sure . I hate doin security work its not my forte .

 

do you think you can help me out if i showed you the wireing diagram...i having my friend who is a former install dood for car audio help me out...and well any help would be great!!!

 

Not that it would be of any good to you, but if you were up in Sacto my bro could do it--he sells and installs Compustars. Just ask vperkins--my bro did his car and from what I've read, he hasn't complained about the work.

 

so compustars can allow you to remotely start your engine?

 

yep and a bunch of other stuff too!!!

 

so where can i purchase and install one in so cal?

 

i ordered it online and i think i may have order 2 of them accidently if your interested let me knwo and i will let you know if 2 of them gets sent to me.....ok thanks

ahhh there is such a thing as a >>> return and you should have gotten an online receipt as soon as u ordered it .

 

VPerkins in the house! I love my CompuStar alarm! Works great, no complaints! It's got lots of functions and the remote start comes in handy when it's too hot or too cold outside and I want the inside of my car cooled off or heated up!

Later,

well it was bought from ebay its a long story but none the less i was going to sell it to my friend but he is short on funds and if i have to i'll be willing to sell it to someone on a-tl.com if you interested let me know thanks

 

how much did you pay and how much just for the install do you know how to wire it up and do you think you can help me out with minor questions.? im on aim as ASIANKIDD2 thanks

 

what does the remote look like?

 

Does the compustar still activate the memory seats like the stock remotes do??

Bryan

 

Nope, but I would imagine that if the Compustar had enough additional channels and accessory outputs it could be possible to wire them to the memory seat module. Not saying that it can be done but if it can it would have to be a somewhat complex mod, like making an aftermarket alarm make the moonroof close completely (need a timer module, among other things to make it close correctly with aftermarket alarm).

 

www.compustar.org i called them up and the price for the 2wfm-a is 450....

 

Here's a link to a pic of my CompuStar remote: http://www.2carlsons.net/meets/10272001/dsc0030.jpg
Nope. But like Tdoh said, it might be able to be done if you've got the patience to figure it out.
Wow, that was back in October... I think it was about $700.00 including the installation. I don't have a breakdown of parts vs. labor. And, as far as your questions... ask away!

V.

 

^^ Bump ^^

 

first off what exactly does it come with and any tips on a more easier install like certain tools one should have things like that? thanks

JON LERD

 

First off, only NSX Pilot may have any installation experience... so I can't help ya there. Second, I didn't get to open the package -- but the one I have, the 2000AS, looks like it came with: 1 key fob two-way control unit; 1 "page the owner" device (placed on the lower, left windshield); 1 user's manual; and a 2-stage shock sensor. Not to mention the remote starter and the alarm "brains." Don't know how the engine cut-off works.

Hope that helps.

If u never installed an alarm b4 i suggest u just pay someone who has...... they know tricks that even the designers prolly dont list ..besides theres alot of electronics under there and im sure u dont wanna go messing around ....if ur gonna attemp it the starter wire is usally the large guage wire under the dash,,,the largest one u can find and u break that with a 20A relay.
