I BROUGHT THE T13 COST ME A GRAND ALL TOGETHER IN MY MUSTANG V8.4.6L VERY AWESOME REMOTE 👌 ALSO WITH DRONE I WILL USE THAT SOON.
Hello, I paid $950.00 and $280.00 for Drone subscription for 3 years.
Make sure your battery doesn’t die cause you mustang will be ducked
Like mine everything the alarm is hooked up to all have errors
WTF? $1000 woww overpriced
I paid $450 for the pro t13 and alarm and drone and installed everything myself. Everything works perfect.
Such a good alarm system
If you can afford a big Mac combo meal, you can afford the drone subscription 😉🤣
P
I’m thinking of getting this. The R5 looks better because the color LCD screen is probably very fragile to get scratched/messed up in a pocket with other keys. I wish they would use a USB-C port for charging instead of the soon to be obsolete micro USB port.
Thanks for the demo! Most definitely a game changer. We also got the protective silicone covers for these coming soon.
When will you have them for sale?
Damn I wish I would've watched this before I got my Clifford 2 way alarm system
Best alarm ever got one on my Mopar
I had the t12 and upgraded to the t13 yesterday. I gotta say the proximity unlock is pretty sweet!
I have the T12, how much to upgrade
I've heard lots of people saying the proximity unlock doesn't work. But it works for you?
@@savionnebanton2220 works perfect!
@@SweetSounds how do I get my remote start to work. It just says fail.
@@savionnebanton2220 I'd suggest visiting your local Compustar Pro dealer that installed it for you for service.
Can you use this remote as a substitute for your keyless fob? If I'm gonna be carrying around a mini cell phone, I don't wanna have to keychain link it up to my factory fob.
Thank you for this excellent review!
Glad it was helpful!
I had an older compustar pro T12 remote, loved it.
Proximity makes this worth it for me
Tough to find knowledgeable shops, seems like you are one of them. Bummer I am in Arizona! I have python 5706p’s in both my vehicles. Heat frayed a cable in vehicle 1 and shorted out the unit, dealer wouldn’t cover under warranty (could have gone either way). Had another 5706p put in. Wife’s vehicle is having some difficulty now (master unit in car isn’t transmitting acknowledgements back to two way remote). I may abandon the 5706p all together. Haven’t used a Compustar unit yet but enjoyed your review here. Also looks like replacement remotes if needed are exceptionally more affordable than viper/python which is another huge plus (last I checked a retail replacement 2 way remote for me was 249.99). The smartphone/gps plan seems more affordable also. They and Directed doesn’t seem to have done many updates to their product line lately. Will be pinging local auth dealer in my area. Good video!
Thank you. Compustar has been excellent to work with since we brought them in 20 years ago.
Does the t13 drone mobile package come with the engine immobilizer? Where you have the idea to put in before unlocking the engine
I wish I knew about u guys before I got mine
I need this in my life
The proximity feature is nice, but does this system still require the factory key fob in order to use push to start if you're not using remote start? I would have thought by 2020 there would be a total factory key fob replacement available.
The new Compustar KL1 "KeyLocker", which will be coming soon, will allow you to carry only the Compustar Pro T13 or Computer Pro R5 remote and not have to carry around the factory PTS fob. More details will be coming soon for this optional upgrade.
@@SweetSounds, if this would open my garage also, it would be the complete system. They should add that feature.
@@62dobie A competent installation technician will be able to add that option for you by either making use of a Homelink button already built into the car or hardwiring a remote control. You will need to supply a preprogrammed controller for the door if going the second route. Enjoy!
So if you walk past your car, it unlocks. That's ONLY good if it locks again when you walk away. Did you remember to lock your car? Oh but did you _walk past it_ since you locked it? I can see this leading to many accidental un-lockings.
Simple to resolve. You can add a feature called Auto Relock. Your local Authorized Compustar Pro Dealer will be able to help you out. You can also turn off/on the proximity unlock from either remote.
For the proximity feature. Do I need to still carry my key fob with me? Or do I need to carry both of them. My car already has keyless entry.
I’d love you know too
Won't need it for proximity unlock.
@@SeattleKitchenBoy Do you still need the original Key Fob to drive the car (Push to Star version)?
@@Kriptoker yes, designed for security reasons
You can leave the OEM Key Fob hidden in the vehicle. With any version of the Compustar security system you can lock and unlock the vehicle while they key fob is still in.
Hi, I have a push start button on these vehicle Sportage EX 2016 . Local installer told me that I have to have the factory key fob with you all the time for this to work.... is this correct, can you confirm that I have to carry around the factory fob with this remote control all the time?
Can't imagine what extra keys on key ring would do to a shiny lcd screen..scratches from Hell.
Doesn't leaving the FOB in the vehicle drain the battery?
Great review.
What is the difference between this T13 Pro vs a Viper DS4+
Thank you in advance!
Sure! Different names
That’s sick 😮
Question my car has smart entry if i want to install the t9 or t12 will my smart entry will be disable?
Will it automatically lock/arm when you walk away?
Got mine from black friday deals. Yeah yeah
Yeah how much?
Yeah how much 👀
Does it work with Compustar max it kit I use t12 pro remote now this remote shuts on that one
Yes
Question for anyone that might have experience. Just went to get one installed and was excited about until he told me I’d still have to carry my Dodge fob with the alarm/Autostart fob. That was a deal killer. He told me that most people just hide one of the oem fobs in the car so that you can just carry the one. Sound right?
No. I'd suggest finding a dealer familiar with the KL1 Keylocker and see if that fits your needs.
@@jeffsweere thanks, I’ll do that.
Can the R5 (alone) be added to an existing T12 system to gain the proximity unlock feature?
It's (late) 2020 my T12 is currently the only device I have with micro USB. T13 without USB Type-C is very nearly a deal breaker, for me. Can custom images be uploaded if you don't have 1 of the 3 vehicle types they've optioned?
The R5 will communicate with your current system but no, the R5 needs the matching antenna included with the R5 "RFX" kit to have the ability to do proximity unlock. Your antenna is not capable.
Unfortunately, custom images are not an option at this time.
Have a pleasant day.
@@SweetSounds thanks for the information. Would that RFX antenna also work with the T12 remote (just without proximity)?
@@ThomMurphy Sorry for the confusion. The proper model number for the entire "T13" kit is the "RFX-P2wT13-SF" kit. The proper model number for the "R5" kit is the "RFX-P2wR5-SF". Inside either of those kits is an included antenna, model # "ANT-2WSF". The "ANT-2WSF" is required for proximity unlock to function. The "ANT-2WSF" is fully backwards compatible with the T12 remote you currently have just without proximity like you stated. Currently the T13 & R5 systems are compatible with 7200/7000 series controllers. If you happen to have a DC3 controller, they are working on adding that via an update. There are a few other controllers that will not be compatible and as such, figuring out which controller you have will be important before purchasing.
@@SweetSounds nice! I have the FT-7000AS(CM7000) controller, so it seems a R5 kit (w/ ANT-TWSF) would work. Will those ever be available for purchase to have shipped, or only with installation?
@@ThomMurphy Only with install. The 7000 will need to be updated also. Visit your local Compustar Pro series dealer for help.
Hi,
I currently have a dronemobile LTE with the "Pro T12" remote and would like to have the "proximity Unlock" of the Pro T13 remote. Can I just buy the new remote for that or additional parts needed?
Thanks
You will need the proper (new) antenna and a compatible controller in the car along with the T13 or R5 remote to get proximity unlock. Your T12 will work with the new antenna but will not have proximity unlock of course. Currently the T13 & R5 systems are compatible with 7200/7000 series controllers with current update. If you happen to have a DC3 controller, they are working on adding that via an update. Chat with your local Compustar PRO series dealer for details and availability.
For those who are looking for the proximity Unlock feature. It doesn’t always work. Very often you will see yourself standing next to the door and it doesn’t do anything.
I would recommend visiting your local authorized Compustar PRO dealer who installed this for you. We have somewhere around 100 of them completed with zero reports of this issue. Make sure all the components in the system have current firmware installed and of course make sure you haven't turned off the proximity unlock feature via your remote control.
@@SweetSounds just because you have no reports does not mean the issue never happened.
Why would I ever go back to the shitty stereo shop that created the issue in the first place?
@@conanruisi I stated "WE" have zero reports. Not that it's not possible. Our history and experience was offered to let OP know that it was likely a setting or firmware issue, not hardware. We wouldn't recommend going to a shixxy shop of any sort at any time.
@@SweetSounds more likely that the stereo shop just isn’t telling you anything because they don’t care.
Yup, my buddy who had a different brand many years ago had his unlock and lock constantly because he was too close to the car. Something around 25' if I had to guess. If you can't adjust the features then don't waste your money, and if you can't adjust it with a phone or PC. I bought the 8900AS a little while back and have been happy with it.
Do you know when will the proximity unlock start working with the dc3?
Now available as of 4/1/21, actually a few days ago.
Are you able to change the countdown time for the remote start? How long the car will run?
Yes.
Car battery died after I left the lights on my Honda S2000 over night with a Compustar security system. Tried boosting it but have no life at all. Has to be something with the compustar. Does it need to be reset or something. Is it a security thing after the battery is disconnected or dies?
hello, could you help me to tell me how to program the advanced functions in the drone mobile x1-max lte,,,, to be able to configure the shock sensors,, so that my application can be notified,, greetings
would the proximity unlock work with the ft-7200S system controller on older vehicles models?
Morning. How are doing . I want to know before i buy the new compustart pro T13 remote start for 2002 chrysler PT cruises . Let me know please
Who makes the best anti break in alarms for convertibles?
Viper
This dudes gonna say this company cause he has affiliation with them
Talk to me about installing this on a 6 speed manual car.....also tralk to me about what wiring is involved? do you cut any of the factory harnesses?
I have SiriusXM Guardian Tracking and Uconnect on my Chrysler 300. Will these services still be available after I install a Compustar PRO T13 with LTE + a Drone X1 LTE Module?
Jeep owner here, I wish someone would reply.
These are NOT "Systems". They are add-ons. Firstech/Compustar has changed their offerings, and everything is now modular. For alarm/remote start, you have to buy the 1. CMX remote start brain, 2. Alarm Kit, 3. Blade if security bypass is needed, 4. T13 or R5 remote kit with Drone
There is no reason to make it difficult. Simply contact a competent authorized dealer, choose which remote RF kit / Drone you would like to use and let us/them take care of the rest. Behind the scenes there are plenty more choices involved but the end result is a long lasting system that delivers results for the customer. Compustar systems have been modular for the last 20 years.
Yes, and I have been installing them that long. I suggested explaining the offering better so people could understand. Unless I missed it, you did not say those are JUST the remotes, antenna and drone. The CM7000 max-it kits came with everything needed for remote start/alarm and now they have split off the alarm component into its own thing. Yes, the remote/antenna kits have always been modular on purpose because of the fact their are so many designs for different needs.
I can’t buy this in Canada? And does it work if you drive a jeep no doors good for security? Thank you
If you have a regular key fob “non push to start” and use remote start is it possible to just begin driving? And is it possible to remove the remote start timer completely?
The key is required to drive the vehicle. The timer can be varied and there are setting to 'restart' after shutdown but the timer can't be removed completely.
I have a 2011 Mercedes Benz CLS550. How much would you charge to install the T13 remote start and the Drone Mobile Smart Phone option my car?
Well, the system looks great and the features are great. So where it could be purchased on line now? After 9 months since you posted the video
Its not available for online sales. Its kinda like a restriction for authorized retailers. If they sale it online, they get the boot. You'll notice that the T12 is now available online everywhere but not the T13 since it replaces the T12.
@@shoncarter3730 they sell it online
Ebay lol
I have q9-fm can i buy a t13 pro. And just reprogram it? Or do i need to change module?
I Would HOPE That You Would Ship To Barbados.
Great stuff, Thanks for sharing, Can I use these remotes for another car I plan to by on an Island? I plan to remotely start the car from NYC to the Island the car will be at. So all I would have to do is buy a Starter Kit "Brain", Horn Kit with Sensor, Wiring Kit and X1 Drone? Is that all I would need? Also Will the second X1 Drone that I put on the car on the island Require a new subscription?
The remotes can be programed to multiple vehicles though I would suggest using the 2nd car mode on the T13 if there is any chance the vehicles are within range of each other at any time ever. Yes, each Drone module needs a subscription to function. Enjoy!
are Australian customers abpe to use the drone feature aswell as have a system installed in Australia purchased from U.S.A
Do I have to carry the factory key fob with this T13 ?
Do you think the proximity sensor on the T13 will work perfectly on a 2010 Hyundai Elantra GLS in your opinion? Any thoughts?
Haven't found a car yet where the proximity doesn't work well.
I currently have the 2wt10rss remote and would like to replace it with this, can it be programmed to work?
I have the same one. Did you figure it out?
Answered elsewhere also but if you want all the features to work you need to buy the entire RF kit and have the controller updated also (assuming it's a compatible controller).
Does compustar replaced the oem keyfob?
What are the features about the car alarm?
Just to be clear, you can turn off the proximity unlock feature? And 2. can it do proximity lock or just unlock?
Yes, via the remote. Both with the most recent update and hardware.
Will the key locker device work with older key fobs like the T11 or T12? Will it support full take over with remote starting? (car won't shut off when the door opens?)
More info on the Keylocker will be coming soon. Secure takeover ability doesn't change using the Keylocker or not, that's a vehicle dependent item.
Does the Pro T13 include a Security System or is that an additional part that has to be installed?
Every dealer sells/offers their system with different minimum feature sets. It's recommended to contact your local dealer and discuss your needs directly with them. There are various levels of "security" features available.
Is this a stand alone system or do I have to have a compustar system already installed and then add the T13
These are "RF kits" which include the remote(s), Drone mobile LTE smart phone module, antenna and some cables and misc items. They require additional parts to work including a "controller" and oftentimes an interface module to install it in a vehicle.
Will proximity unlock work just for the driver door or will unlock all the doors?
It will unlock the same as if pressing the unlock button on the remote or Drone app. Usually that is set up to unlock all doors by default but can be set to unlock only the driver's door. This often involves additional cost though.
Does it have a schematic diagram/ wiring diagram?
Like showing which wires goes to where from the system to car wires ?
No vehicle specific information is provided. We highly suggest professional installation.
Looking to up grade. Waterproof perfect plus having the range. My question is do they have a safety mode for nighttime silencing broadcasting? Want the range but want the car too.
If you're asking if you lock/arm the system silently, that is in the menu on the T13 remote or available via Drone.
So on the video it said 3 minutes when you started it, the engine will shut off after 3 minutes? And can you change the timing of that?
If it's set for a 3 minute run time then it will shut off after three minutes, like shown in the demonstration. Yes, it can be changed. We use 25 minutes as a default for our location in Minnesota. Enjoy!
@@jeffsweere ok thanks
I currently have a CS4900 installed. What would it take to swap to this? Entire new install?
Most likely up an update to the control module and settings changed afterwards. Suggest visiting your local Compustar PRO dealer.
Will this work on older vehicles like a 79? And does it matter if it’s a diesel?
That would depend upon if you're just looking for security or security with remote start. Contact your local dealer for details.
friend, is it normal for this to discharge my car battery in one day? I think it was a bad installation or faulty equipment
No.
So with the proximity feature, does it lock once you walk away from the vehicle also??
Have you visited that feature yet it has been 10 months since someone has inquired about it
Nope. Proximity Unlock only. No plans to add lock at this time.
Both lock and unlock are now available via the most recent update and hardware.
@@SweetSounds Is this true for both the R5 and T13? Or just the T13? The passive arm/lock is super useful if you're using the proximity unlock. Without it, it seems like you'd get used to walking up and unlocking and expect to walk away and locking
@@LiuzziMike Both. Personally I prefer just unlock.
I keep reading 2 and 3 mile range but is that anywhere even inside buildings with multiple levels thats within range?
No. That is max range. Any objects or interference between the remote transmitter and the vehicle can reduce the range. It's impossible to rate something *inside* of a building as all buildings are different. As such, all manufacturers rate them in open territory. With that said, these are the most powerful systems in the marketplace and we have never tested a Compustar to have less than the advertised max range in open territory and a number of them over the years have tested at MUCH greater than advertised. Enjoy!
So with the proximity feature, does it lock once you walk away from the vehicle also??
No. Proximity Unlock only. No plans to add lock at this time. It was available on an earlier generation add-on module and it caused as many problems as it solved.
It does both lock and unlock now with the most recent update and hardware.
@@SweetSounds What hardware is needed? I am pretty sure I have the most recent firmware on Drone mobile at least, not sure about the hardware, but the app doesn't allow it to auto arm. Any help?
@@LiuzziMike If purchased some time ago, the firmware on the hardware will need an update and programming options changed. If purchased a long time ago, new hardware may be needed. Visit your local authorized dealer for help.
What is the Starting price for the pro T13 ?
$574 without installation
Do I need to upgrade the antenna if I have the 2wt10r-ss two way remote? Or can I just buy the the upgraded remote?
If you want all the features to work you need to buy the entire RF kit and have the controller updated also.
Could you please explain the difference between "ALARM ALERT MODE: "HALF" & "FULL"??
Great question! FULL mode is only useful when you have the alarm features installed. When the remote is in FULL mode, the remote is always "on" and searching/listening for a signal from the Compustar controller (which is installed in the vehicle). When the remote is in HALF mode, the remote control stops searching/listening for a signal from the controller after about 45 minutes. You can consider it "sleeping" at that time.
The battery usage is much higher in FULL mode and the remote will need to be charged more often. If you only have a remote start and NOT any alarm features, I highly suggest having the remote in HALF mode since the only time the remote needs to receive a signal is during and shortly after a remote start sequence. For an alarm system, the remote always needs to be able to receive an alarm trigger and thusly the remote always needs to be "on" or "awake".
@@SweetSounds mine is a remote start and alarm. No drone, no proximity (not enabled).
@@thecamarogarageneeds FULL mode.
Can i just buy the remote & replace my current 2way control which has went bad
Hi can I just upgrade from t9 prime to t13 pro by just buying the remote and the antenna or do I have to replace everything on my compustar hardware, im using the old hardware CM-DC3 with das-2 alarm kit. Looking forward to your reply thank you very much.
There is a more in depth answer previously but yes, you can, as long as the DC3 is updated.
@@SweetSounds now the problem is how to order the remote and the antena because I think they exclusively sell it to installers only.
@@learnbasic2197 I'd recommend visiting an authorized dealer who can both offer the new unit and update the existing control module. www.compustar.com/find-a-dealer/ Be sure to click the PRO dealer only box.
Thanks a lot for the Video, quick question, can I install this system on a stick car ?
Yes, of course. Manual transmission cars require additional parts and a different sequence to start the vehicle. We wrote an article about it here: www.sweetsounds.com/can-i-remote-start-my-manual-transmission-vehicle/
Are these products only for new model vehicle I have 2000 Tahoe want something good but I don’t think that would work for my older car
It will work just fine with your vehicle.
The oem key fob is affected by the relay attack by thieves. Now the Compustar T13 has the proximity feature, it is not affected by the cloning?
Thanks,
No
can i add the pro r5 remote to my existing cs7900as?
will this work on toyota hybrid with pushstart
Does compustar remote unit able to turn on the aircon in the car when once the engine is started ..
It doesn’t control climate control. Your ac will be on whatever settings the car was at when you last turned the car off.
What was the difference bwtween the T11 and the T12?
So those lights are still going off and on in your pocket
Does the system put a constant drain on your car battery?
Yes, of course. All remote start systems are always "looking" for a signal from the remote or cell phone and because they are always "looking" they are always going to be drawing power. This includes both aftermarket and factory remote start options.
will this lock if you walk away?
Regardless on how thin it is, you still need to carry around the OEM fob to operate the car. It would be awesome if the t13 could replace the OEM fob. One less thing in your pocket..
As mentioned in a previous reply, the capability to do that would be coming soon, well it's now here. The KL1 KeyLocker add on is the ticket. More info coming soon....
@@SweetSounds that would be awesome. Could it be added to the Compustar DC3?
So there is an ability to not have to carry the fob that comes with the vehicle ok that's cool but will the LCD remote be able to open my windows and my truck as the factory fob does?
@@luciferztongue what model vehicle do you have they does this? And did you ever get an answer?
@Tyson Marsh what I meant was you can open the windows on a BMW with the factory remote, my question was if this remote will allow all the same functions as the BMW fob and it's there a bypass they allows you to only need one fob and not this one plus the factory.
I have the 4905s-KIT and I’m wondering if the remote can be an add on for it!! This system is super nice
If buying the complete Compustar Pro-T13 or Pro-R5 kit, yes, it will work with the main controller you already have but your main controller will probably need to be updated. Your existing remote controls will no longer work.
Can a a thief hack the signal from remote to gain access into the car?
Good question
I wish I can order this in Wisconsin 🤦🏽♂️ broke my little heart

Hi..plz tell me if it can install in semi truck in canada
Will the T13 remote work with the T12 system?
It will partially work but not all the features, such as proximity unlock, will function. Full functionality requires the matching antenna and likely an update to your controller.

Would this work in the UK.
Does it work for Mercedes benz E 200?
