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.
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!
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.
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.
The proximity unlock is the same as the unlock button on the remote. By default, it unlocks all doors. Driver's door priority unlock can be set up to only unlock the driver's door. On some vehicles this takes extra parts and/or labor. Contact your dealer for details.
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?
Take it back to the Authorized Dealer where you bought it from. It may be covered by the three year manufacturer's warranty but only your dealer will be able to help with that.
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".
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
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.
@@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!
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 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?
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 a Compustar on a 2001 Compustar drone with the full max it kit can it mess up you cars communication from the gem module abs cause it’s connected to foot brake to and clutch plug is unplugged. And my battery died and now I’m having issues big time gem module issues p1000 codes data issues scp data issues
For the T13 remote, put the remote into second car mode via the on screen menu then program it to the second vehicle. Programming stays the same other than having the remote in second car mode. Second car mode is not an option with the R5 remote.
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?
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).
Occasionally. It depends upon the vehicle and the choice of control module and harness. I suggest contacting your local authorized dealer with your questions as each one operates independently.
Thank you. Yes, the key/keyfob is required to drive the vehicle. If we add a Compustar KL1 Keylocker then the 'key' or 'PTS keyfob' doesn't have to be carried around as it remains in the vehicle.
Depending upon your specific vehicle and needs, the Compustar / Drone / Firstech 'FT-KL1, KL1 KeyLocker' may do what you're looking for. Visit your local specialist for details.
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!
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.
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.
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.
@@SweetSounds did you just reprogram it then? I called my installer who said they haven't started shipping out the updated units yet. Told me to call back in a couple days. Just wondering if it's a new unit or reprogram/update? Thanks for the reply.
@@savionnebanton2220 Different areas will have different delivery dates. If your installer doesn't have the updated antennas yet give them a little time if that is what is causing your issues. It sounds like more are arriving soon. Fortunately for us, we were one of the first to get them.

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.
@@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?
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
It has been asked previously but with the T13, press and hold the "unlock" button for 3 seconds. No trunk release on the R5 without some customization from your installer. Enjoy!
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!
Technically yes you can but your not going to get any support from compustar unless you're an authorized dealer. So if you run into an issue that you can't figure out. Your pretty much up the creek without a paddle.
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.
@@SweetSounds thanks for the fast response,, im sold on this product. was a long time viper user,,, but its always good to try other alarms out there.. thank you..
CONFUSED: How is the remote such high resistant to water (even dunking into a bucket of water) when the USB port is COMPUTER OPEN to not only dust but of course water. ???
It's an IPX-7 rated device. Sorry I'm not privy to the engineering design specs but that's an international standard used for Ingress Protection. My phone is also water resistant rated and I've snorkeled in the ocean with it taking photos and video without an external case. Of course I thoroughly rinsed it off after use to get the salt off of it and continued to use the phone for years after that. I would not recommend using it consistently in the manner! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code has some more info for you.
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!

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.
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.
Can you run the t 13 on a 1978 impala ????
If you're asking about for security purposes, Yes, it will work great. For remote start, without a fuel injected engine it will be difficult.
@@SweetSounds yea remote start.
What is the Starting price for the pro T13 ?
$574 without installation
Are you able to change the countdown time for the remote start? How long the car will run?
Yes.
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.
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.
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.
How do you pop your trunk?
It has been asked previously but with the T13, press and hold the "unlock" button for 3 seconds. No trunk release on the R5 without some customization from your installer. Enjoy!
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.
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!
Will I have to have the original remote too or just this one to use?
That depends upon the vehicle
Hi, i have a vw amarok 2019 tdi 4 cil wich model can i install it? Thanks
Technically yes you can but your not going to get any support from compustar unless you're an authorized dealer. So if you run into an issue that you can't figure out. Your pretty much up the creek without a paddle.
Can't imagine what extra keys on key ring would do to a shiny lcd screen..scratches from Hell.
Would this work in the UK.
I have install 1 way remote start can upgrade 2 way remote
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.
looks like when you use remote start, it will also unlock your car..... right? if i use remote start, i dont want my car unlocked..
This is incorrect.
@@SweetSounds thanks for the fast response,, im sold on this product. was a long time viper user,,, but its always good to try other alarms out there.. thank you..
Hi what’s the price for the T13 Thanks 🙏🏽
CONFUSED: How is the remote such high resistant to water (even dunking into a bucket of water) when the USB port is COMPUTER OPEN to not only dust but of course water. ???
It's an IPX-7 rated device. Sorry I'm not privy to the engineering design specs but that's an international standard used for Ingress Protection. My phone is also water resistant rated and I've snorkeled in the ocean with it taking photos and video without an external case. Of course I thoroughly rinsed it off after use to get the salt off of it and continued to use the phone for years after that. I would not recommend using it consistently in the manner! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code has some more info for you.
Would you be able to help me out with getting updated firmware/software for my op500?
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!
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.
