Quick Reference  
Valet Mode  
When servicing or loaning your vehicle to others, the CompuStar Pro system should be in Valet mode.  
Valet mode prevents the system from remote starting and disables all alarm functions.  
IMPORTANT: While in Valet mode the CompuStar will still lock and unlock power lock systems.  
The system can be put into valet one of two ways;  
1. Turn the vehicles key to the ignition “on” position and tap buttons (I + III) simultaneously for  
0.5 seconds. The parking lights will flash once and the LCD will display Z’s above the vehicle  
image to confirm the system is in valet mode. Repeat this process to take the system out of  
valet mode. The parking lights will flash twice and Z’s will disappear to confirm the system is out of valet  
mode.  
2. If you don’t have your remote control, you can put the system into valet by turning the ignition key “on”  
and then “off” five times within 10 seconds. The parking lights will flash once to confirm the system is in  
valet mode. Shortly after the first flash, the parking lights will flash twice. A remote control is required to  
take the system out of valet mode. IMPORTANT: If your system is set up for a secure valet option, you  
will not be able to put the system into valet until the proper code has been entered to the secure valet  
switch (see page 13 for details).  
Remote Maintenance – Battery Replacement  
The only regular maintenance this system requires is remote control battery replacement.  
No programming is required when replacing the battery.  
Two-Way Remotes: Models P2WSSR, P2W9000FMR  
First, release the battery cover lock located on the back of the remote. Once the lock is released, gently  
slide the battery cover off to expose the battery. The P2WSSR requires one AA battery and the  
P2W9000FMR requires one AAA battery. IMPORTANT: Be sure to observe correct polarity when  
installing the battery.  
One-Way Remotes: P1WSSR, 1W900FMR  
First, remove the small Phillips screw located on the back of the remote. Once the screw has been  
removed, gently pull the remote apart being careful to not touch the circuit board. The P1WSSR and  
1W900FMR require two 2025 batteries. These specialty batteries can be purchased from your local  
CompuStar dealer or an electronics store.  
Programming the Clock (LCD Remotes Only)  
STEP 1: Enter remote programming mode by holding down buttons (II + III) for 2.5 seconds. The remote  
will beep once and the LCD will read “Prog” to indicate that you have successfully entered programming  
mode.  
STEP 2: Three seconds after entering programming mode the time icon will flash  
indicating to set the time. Adjust the time settings by tapping button (I) to change the hour  
and tapping button (II) to adjust the minutes.  
STEP 3: Once the desired time has been set, exit remote programming by holding down buttons (II + III)  
for 2.5 seconds. The remote will beep three times indicating that you have successfully exited  
programming mode.

Remote LCD (liquid crystal display) Diagram and Icons  
Your remote pager will indicate the status of your vehicle while in range. The unique LCD design will  
visually display such icons as lock/unlock status, remote start confirmation and remaining run-time,  
impact/shock notification, battery voltage, temperature display and much more.  
*The above LCD layout and icons may vary slightly from the actual layout and icons displayed on your remote pager.  
Common Icons –  
Lock/Arm – Unlock/Disarm  
This icon indicates whether the system is locked/armed or unlocked/disarmed. While armed, the system will  
monitor the doors, trunk, hood, shock sensor, and aux inputs. If any of these inputs are triggered while the  
system is armed, the alarm will be triggered.  
Trunk Release  
This icon will be displayed when the trunk release function has been activated. By default, the system will be  
disarmed and the doors will unlock before the trunk is released.  
Signal Strength  
This icon is displayed if the last communication to the vehicle was successful.  
Valet Mode  
This icon will be displayed while you are in Valet mode. While in valet mode, the system will not perform any  
functions other than lock and unlock. The alarm will not arm or disarm while locking or unlocking. If any other  
function is attempted, “Sleep” will be displayed. The system will not monitor the alarm triggers while in Valet  
mode.  
Battery Indicator  
This icon displays the remaining battery life left in 25% increments.  
Clock  
Displays current time, remote start runtime, turbo mode time remaining, inside temperature of the vehicle,  
battery voltage of the vehicle, battery voltage of the remote and failure of signal transfer.  
8
 
Starter Icons –  
Engine Running  
This icon will be displayed while the vehicle is running after it has been remote started.  
Start Availability  
This icon will be displayed when the vehicle is ready to be remote-started. If this icon is not displayed, you will  
not be able to remote-start the vehicle.  
Timer Mode  
This icon will be displayed when Timer mode is active. Timer mode can be set up to start the vehicle every 1.5,  
3, or once very 24 hours.  
Cold/Hot Start  
This icon will be displayed if Cold Start mode is currently active. Cold Start mode will start the vehicle if the  
vehicle reaches a preset hot or cold temperature. These temperatures can be adjusted by the installer.  
Alarm Icons –  
Siren  
This icon will be displayed if the siren is turned on. Turning the siren off only applies to the chirps when arming,  
disarming, or remote-starting. The siren will still sound if the alarm is triggered.  
Hood  
This icon will be displayed if the hood is opened while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while  
displaying this icon. This means that the alarm was triggered. If this icon appears while trying to remote-start the  
vehicle, it means that the vehicle will not start because the hood is open.  
Impact  
This icon will be displayed if an impact to the vehicle is detected while the system is armed. The remote will  
beep rapidly while displaying this icon if the impact is hard; this means that the alarm was triggered. If it beeps  
slowly while displaying this icon, that means that the impact was soft and that the alarm simply gave four  
warning chirps.  
Door  
This icon will be displayed if the door is opened while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while  
displaying this icon. This means that the alarm was triggered. If this icon appears while trying to remote-start the  
vehicle, it means that the vehicle will not start because the door is open.  
Trunk  
This icon will be displayed if the trunk is opened while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while  
displaying this icon. This means that the alarm was triggered. If this icon appears while trying to remote-start the  
vehicle, it means that the vehicle will not start because the trunk is open.  
Car Call  
This icon will be displayed while someone is attempting to contact you using the RPS sensor. To trigger the  
RPS sensor, you must knock on the windshield where the sensor is located. Something that creates a higher  
pitch, like a key, is better suited to trigger the RPS.  
Advanced Icons –  
Passive Mode  
This icon will be displayed if Passive mode is currently active. Passive mode will automatically arm the system  
30 seconds after the last door is closed or 30 seconds after the system was disarmed if no door was opened.  
This mode is ignored while the ignition is on with the key.  
Drive Lock  
This icon will be displayed if Drive Lock mode is currently active. Drive Lock mode will lock the doors  
automatically if the ignition is on and the brake is pressed or if the ignition is on and the engine exceeds the idle  
RPM multiplied by 2, depending on the options set by the installer. The doors will be unlocked when the ignition  
is turned off. In a manual transmission vehicle the doors will unlock when the emergency brake is set.  
Turbo Mode  
This icon will be displayed if Turbo mode is currently active. While Turbo mode is active, the vehicle will remain  
running for a preset time after the emergency brake has been set and the key has been removed from the  
ignition.  
9
 
2nd Car Mode  
This will be displayed while you are in 2nd Car mode. 2nd Car mode allows you to control another vehicle with the  
same system installed in it. The remote needs to be coded to the other vehicle in 2nd Car mode for this feature to  
work.  
Vibration  
This icon will be displayed if the remote is set to vibrate only. While the remote is set to vibrate only the remote  
will not beep, even if the alarm is triggered. The remote will still vibrate in this mode.  
Alarm Clock  
This icon will be displayed if the Alarm Clock function is turned on. When the clock reaches the preset time, the  
remote will beep and flash the alarm clock icon. Press button IV for 0.5 sec. to silence the remote.  
Shock Sensor Bypassed  
This icon will be displayed when the shock sensor is bypassed by pressing buttons I+III for 2.5 sec. Impact to  
the vehicle will not be detected at this time. This icon is always displayed on starter only systems because there  
is no shock sensor.  
Aux Mode (Alarm or alarm/starter systems only.)  
This icon will be displayed while you are in Aux mode. During this time, you can activate auxiliary outputs 1 or 2  
by pressing button II or III. Aux outputs can be used to activate various systems or functions in a vehicle.  
Voltage  
This icon will be displayed while the remote is reporting the voltage of the vehicle or remote battery.  
Temperature  
This icon will be displayed while the remote is reporting the temperature of the vehicle.  
General System Functions  
The remote transmitter functions have been predetermined and programmed from the factory. The four  
button configuration allows for many functions to be performed through a series of tapping, holding and /  
or multiple presses of buttons. Although CompuStar PRO remotes have numerous button functions and  
capabilities, please keep in mind that the most common functions are performed in one simple step.  
Sending Commands  
When in range, and a command has been sent, the remote pager backlight will illuminate, the remote will  
beep and the appropriate icon will be displayed. For example, to send a remote start command from the  
pager, hold down button (II) for 2.5 seconds. The backlight will illuminate and the remote will beep once  
to confirm the command has been sent and that the remote is in range. Once the vehicle has  
successfully remote started, the remote will receive a command indicating the vehicle is running.  
Receiving Commands  
The remote pager will receive commands indicating the status of the vehicle, confirmation of sending  
commands and alarm notifications. For example, after sending the lock command, the pager will be  
updated with the lock icon to confirm the vehicle has been successfully locked/armed. To see if your  
pager is in range to receive commands, tap button (IV) for 0.5 seconds – if the pager backlight  
illuminates and beeps, the pager is in range to receive commands.  
P2WSSR Auto Synchronization (Sync)  
The P2WSSR uses one of fifty different frequencies each time the remote and antenna communicate. If  
the remote fails to communicate with vehicle after sending a command, the system may be out of sync.  
The remote will auto sync if it fails communicate after 8 sending commands or more. During auto sync,  
the remote automatically and quickly transmits a lot of frequencies in search for the location of the  
antenna. You will know the system is in auto sync because the remote will display “sync” for 5 to 8  
seconds. To re-sync manually, remove and re-insert the battery from the remote while in range of the  
vehicle.  
10  
 
Active Lock/Arm and Unlock/Disarm  
Tap button (I) for 0.5 seconds to lock/arm and unlock/disarm. If your vehicle is locked, tap  
button (I) to unlock; if your vehicle is unlocked, tap button (I) to lock.  
IMPORTANT: If the alarm has been triggered (Siren is going off), you must wait until the remote pager  
has been paged before disarming the alarm – the first button tap will shut off the alarm and the second  
will unlock/disarm the system.  
Passive Lock/Arm  
The system can be configured to passively lock and arm the vehicle. Put the system in  
passive by taping buttons (II+III) simultaneously for 0.5 seconds. The remote will beep once  
and the passive icon will illuminate to indicate the system is in passive lock and arming  
mode.  
While in passive mode, the system will lock and arm the alarm 30 seconds after the last door is closed.  
As an indicator that the vehicle is going to passively lock and arm, the remote and siren will chirp once  
and the parking lights will flash once at both 10 and 20 seconds prior to passively locking and arming. If  
you want the system to passively arm and not passively lock, ask your local CompuStar dealer to turn  
Option 1-8 to setting II.  
Automatic Transmission Remote-Start Function  
Press button (II) for 2.5 seconds to remote-start an automatic transmission vehicle. If you are in range  
and if the vehicle is ready to remote start, the remote will beep once and the CompuGLO backlight will  
light up to indicate that the remote-start command has been successfully transmitted.  
If you are in range and the remote beeps three times, there is a remote start error. Refer to the “remote  
start error diagnostic” on page 18 of this manual for details.  
Upon receiving confirmation that your vehicle is running, the LCD will flash the exhaust icon  
and the clock icon will begin to show the amount of run-time remaining. The remote-start run-  
time can be programmed for 15, 25, 45 or 3 minutes - ask your local CompuStar dealer to  
adjust Option 2-7 if you would like a run-time other than 15 minutes (default).  
IMPORTANT: Your vehicle’s key must be inserted into the ignition and turned to the “on” position prior  
to driving your vehicle. If the foot brake is depressed prior to the key being in the “on” position, the  
vehicle will shut off.  
Manual Transmission Remote-Start Function (Reservation Mode)  
In order to remote-start a manual transmission vehicle, the system must first be set in Reservation Mode.  
Reservation Mode must be set each and every time you want to remote-start a manual transmission  
vehicle. The purpose of Reservation Mode is to leave the transmission in neutral before exiting the  
vehicle.  
IMPORANT;  
The transmission must be left in the neutral position.  
The vehicles windows must be rolled up.  
The vehicles door-pins must be in working order.  
Do not install this remote-start on a manual transmission vehicle that has a convertible or  
removable top.  
Do not set reservation mode or remote-start with people in the vehicle.  
11  
 
Activating Reservation Mode  
STEP 1: While the vehicle is running, place the transmission in neutral, set the emergency / parking  
brake, and remove pressure from the foot brake.  
STEP 2: Remove the key from the vehicle’s ignition. The vehicle’s engine should remain running even  
after the key has been removed. If the vehicle does not remain running visit your local authorized  
CompuStar dealer for service.  
STEP 3: Exit the vehicle and close the door. The vehicle’s engine should shut off within 10 seconds  
upon closing the last door. If the vehicle’s engine does not shut off, your door trigger may be functioning  
improperly. Do not use the remote-start feature and take your vehicle to a local authorized CompuStar  
dealer for service.  
Once the vehicle shuts off your system is in reservation mode and the vehicle is ready to  
safely remote start. When in reservation mode, a start availability icon will be displayed on  
the remote LCD  
IMPORTANT: By default, the system will lock/arm the vehicle upon setting reservation mode. Take care  
to not lock your keys inside the vehicle.  
Cancelling Reservation Mode  
Reservation mode will be cancelled for the following reasons;  
You did not activate the parking brake prior to turning off the ignition.  
You pressed the foot brake after the key was removed from the ignition.  
You released the parking brake after the key was removed from the ignition.  
You entered valet mode, opened the vehicles door, hood, trunk or set off the alarm.  
Reservation Mode Settings  
Reservation mode settings can be programmed with Option 1-6. It is recommended that reservation  
mode settings are programmed by your local authorized CompuStar dealer.  
Default 1: Locks doors when reservation mode is set.  
Option 2: Does not lock doors when reservation mode is set.  
Option 3: Reservation mode sets 10 seconds after the last door is closed, as opposed to immediately.  
This option will allow you to access the vehicles rear doors, trunk or hatch prior to the system setting  
reservation and passively locking/arming.  
Trunk Release  
Hold button (III) for 2.5 seconds to release the trunk or hatch. If you are in range, the remote  
will beep once and the trunk icon will illuminate indicating that the trunk release command has  
been successfully transmitted. IMPORTANT: Trunk release is an optional vehicle feature that may  
require additional parts and labor.  
Auxiliary Outputs/Window Roll-Down/Sliding Doors  
Your system is equipped with two additional outputs that can be configured to control windows, open  
power sliding doors, open a power sliding moon roof, or even turn on a rear defroster. These outputs  
can be configured for pulsed, timed or latched settings. Your authorized CompuStar dealer can set  
these outputs up accordingly. Using auxiliary outputs to control additional vehicle functions will require  
additional parts and can be rather labor extensive.  
12  
 
Tap button (II) for 0.5 seconds to trigger auxiliary output 1. Tap button (III) for 0.5 seconds to  
trigger auxiliary output 2. The remote will beep once and the aux icon will illuminate indicating  
that the auxiliary outputs have been triggered.  
By default, the system is in secure auxiliary mode, which requires you to tap button (IV) for 0.5 seconds  
prior to triggering auxiliary 1 or 2. To turn off secure auxiliary, ask your authorized CompuStar dealer to  
turn on Option 4-5 to setting II.  
Temperature and Battery Query  
When in range of your vehicle, the remote will display the vehicle’s temperature, battery voltage  
and remote battery voltage upon taping button (IV). The temperature will be displayed after  
taping button (IV) for 0.5 seconds. Tab button (IV) a second time within four seconds to display  
the vehicle’s battery voltage. Tab button (IV) a third time within four seconds to display the  
remote’s battery voltage.  
If you tap button (IV) and you do not get any response from the remote, the remote pager is most likely  
out of range to receive commands.  
Silent Arm/Disarm  
Upon lock/arm and unlock/disarm, you can eliminate vehicle’s audible confirmation by muting  
the siren. Normally, the siren will chirp once to indicate the system is locked/armed and twice  
to indicate the system is unlocked/disarmed. To mute the siren tap buttons (I+II) simultaneously for 0.5  
seconds. When the siren is muted, the siren icon will no longer be displayed on the LCD. IMPORTANT:  
Even when the siren is muted, it will still go off in the event the alarm is triggered.  
Remote Mute/Vibration Mode  
All CompuStar PRO two-way LCD remotes have the option to be muted. To make the remote silent you  
must turn on vibration mode;  
STEP 1: Enter remote programming mode by holding down buttons (II + III) simultaneously for 2.5  
seconds. The remote will beep once and the LCD will read “Pro9” to indicate that you have successfully  
entered programming mode.  
STEP 2: Scroll through the remote options by taping button (IV) for 0.5 seconds. To set  
vibration mode tap button (IV) five times, or until the vibration mode icon is flashing. If  
programming the P2WSHLCDR, simply tap button (IV) one time for 0.5 seconds after entering remote  
programming mode.  
STEP 3: Once the vibration icon is flashing, turn the feature on or off by taping button (I) for 0.5 seconds.  
Exit remote programming by holding down buttons (II + III) simultaneously for 2.5 seconds. The remote  
will beep three times indicating that you have successfully exited programming. The vibration icon will  
remain illuminated on the LCD indicating the remote is in remote mute/vibration mode.  
Shock Sensor On/Off  
Hold buttons (I+III) simultaneously for 2.5 seconds to turn on and off the shock sensor. The  
remote will beep twice and the shock sensor icon will illuminate to confirm the shock sensor is  
off. The remote will beep once and the shock sensor icon will disappear to confirm the shock  
sensor is on. IMPORTANT: Turning off the shock sensor also turns off the optional sensor.  
13  
 
Adjusting the shock sensor sensitivity is done at the actual sensor, which is generally mounted  
somewhere under the vehicle’s dashboard. The higher the number on the dial means greater sensitivity  
to impact. The recommended dial setting for most vehicles is somewhere between 2 & 4. If you are  
testing your sensor, please note that the shock sensor does not recognize impact for 30 seconds after  
the system has been armed.  
Advanced System Functions  
The following section reviews advanced system functions. Many of these functions require multiple  
steps or additional programming by your local authorized CompuStar dealer to be active.  
Drive Lock/Ignition Controlled Door Locks  
Tap buttons (I+IV) simultaneously for 0.5 seconds to turn on and off drive lock (also known as  
ignition controlled door locks). The remote will beep once and the drive lock icon will  
illuminate to confirm that drive lock mode is activated. The remote will beep twice and the drive lock icon  
will disappear to confirm drive lock is off.  
IMPORTANT: Drive lock mode requires that the dealer turn on Option 1-9. Drive lock has two settings;  
Default 1: Off  
Option 2: Locks the doors when the ignition is on and after the brake is depressed.  
Option 3: locks the doors when the RPM’s have reached two times that of idle speed (this setting  
requires that a tachometer wire is connected).  
With both settings, the doors will unlock when the ignition is turned off. If using this feature on a manual  
transmission vehicle, the doors will unlock upon setting the emergency / parking brake.  
Turbo Timer Mode  
The built-in turbo timer keeps the vehicles engine running for either 1, 2 or 4 minutes  
(programmable from dealer with Option 2-2) after the vehicle key has been removed from the  
ignition. This feature will keep oil running through the turbo system to allow for appropriate  
cooling time. Tap buttons (III+IV) simultaneously for 0.5 seconds to turn on or off turbo mode.  
The remote will beep once and the turbo icon will illuminate to confirm that turbo mode is activated. The  
remote will beep twice and icon will disappear to confirm turbo mode is off.  
IMPORTANT: To utilize this feature, the emergency / parking brake wire must be connected to the  
CompuStar system. Consult your local authorized CompuStar dealer for installation.  
2nd Car Mode (Multiple Vehicle Control)  
The P2W9000FM remotes have the ability to operate a 2nd vehicle. Press buttons (III+IV)  
simultaneously for 2.5 seconds to turn on or off 2nd car mode. The remote will beep once and  
the 2nd car icon will illuminate to confirm that 2nd car mode is activated. The remote will beep  
twice and the icon will disappear to confirm 2nd car mode is off.  
IMPORTANT: 2nd car mode requires the remote to be programmed to a 2nd vehicle that is equipped with  
either a P2W9000FM-AS, P2W9000FM-A or P2W9000FM-S, P2WSS-AS, P2WSS-A or P2WSS-S.  
Remote Alarm Clock  
All CompuStar PRO two-way LCD remotes have a built-in alarm clock. This alarm clock feature is similar  
to ordinary alarm clocks in that the remote (not the car) will beep at a programmed timed. To program  
the alarm clock perform the followings steps;  
14  
 
STEP 1: Enter remote programming mode by holding down buttons (II + III) simultaneously for 2.5  
seconds. The remote will beep once and the LCD will read “Pro9” to indicate that you have successfully  
entered programming mode.  
STEP 2: Scroll through the remote options by taping button (IV) for 0.5 seconds. To set the  
alarm clock tap button (IV) two times, or until the timer and clock icons are flashing.  
STEP 3: Once the timer and clock icons are flashing, set the desired alarm clock time by taping button (I)  
for 0.5 seconds to adjust the hour and button (II) for 0.5 seconds to adjust the minute.  
STEP 4: Once the time is set, tap button (IV) for 0.5 seconds to scroll to the next remote option. By  
default the alarm mode is off. Tap button (I) for 0.5 seconds to turn the alarm clock mode on.  
STEP 5: Exit remote programming by holding down buttons (II + III) simultaneously for 2.5 seconds. The  
remote will beep three times indicating that you have successfully exited programming. The alarm clock  
icon will remain illuminated on the LCD indicating the remote is in alarm clock mode.  
Car Call/RPS (Remote Paging Sensor)  
The car call/RPS feature uses a remote paging sensor that is designed to be mounted on the inside of  
the windshield. After the RPS has been triggered, the car call icon will illuminate and the remote will ring  
several times if the remote is in range to receive commands. To trigger the car call or RPS sensor, you  
must knock on the windshield in front of the RPS at least two times. The switch on the RPS will adjust  
paging sensitivity – the smaller the dot represents the least sensitive setting. Use a key or pen for best  
results. If you do not want the remote to receive pages from the RPS, follow the below steps to turn the  
feature off;  
STEP 1: Enter remote programming mode by holding down buttons (II + III) simultaneously for 2.5  
seconds. The remote will beep once and the LCD will read “Prog” to indicate that you have successfully  
entered programming mode.  
STEP 2: Scroll through the remote options by taping button (IV) for 0.5 seconds. Tap button  
(IV) four times, or until the car call icon is flashing.  
STEP 3: Once the car call icon is flashing, you can turn the feature off by tapping button (I) for 0.5  
seconds. Repeat this step to turn the car call feature back on.  
STEP 4: Exit remote programming by holding down buttons (II + III) simultaneously for 2.5 seconds. The  
remote will beep three times indicating that you have successfully exited programming. The car call icon  
will no longer be illuminated on the LCD indicating that the remote is not in car call mode.  
RPS (Remote Paging Sensor) Unlock/Disarm  
Basic RPS and car call functions do not require programming, however in order for the sensor to  
unlock/disarm the vehicle you must perform the following procedures;  
STEP 1: Disarm/unlock the alarm (remote must be programmed first)  
STEP 2: Turn ignition key to the “on” position and the leave the driver’s door open.  
STEP 3: Knock on the windshield in front of the RPS a total of 10 times (each time you knock the LED on  
the RPS will flash RED). The LED will begin to flash rapidly in BLUE with successful completion of this  
step.  
15  
 
STEP 4: Enter the first digit of the desired four-digit pass code by knocking on the windshield in front of  
the RPS the desired number of times. For example, to enter 3, knock on the sensor 3 times (each time  
you knock the LED will flash RED) then wait.  
STEP 5: The LED on the RPS will confirm your first number by flashing BLUE slowly. Once the LED  
begins to flash rapidly in BLUE, enter your second number by repeating step 4.  
STEP 6: Repeat steps 4 & 5 to enter all four numbers.  
STEP 7: Turn the ignition OFF - the RPS disarm/unlock feature is now programmed. Follow steps 3 – 5  
to enter your disarm/unlock code.  
Secure Valet Switch  
The optional Secure Valet Switch prevents the alarm from being put into valet mode through cycling the  
ignition on/off five times. The Secure Valet Switch is more secure than traditional toggle / valet switches  
because it requires a two-digit code. IMPORTANT: The first two-digits of the RPS unlock/disarm pass  
code will be the default pass code for the secure valet – you do not need to program them  
independently. If you are not using the RPS unlock, following the below procedures to program your  
secure valet pass code;  
STEP 1: Turn on Option 3-10-III. (Dealer programmed option)  
STEP 2: Turn ignition key to the “on” position.  
STEP 3: Hold down the valet switch for 1.5 seconds. The LED on the valet switch will begin to flash  
rapidly with successful completion of this step.  
STEP 4: Enter the first digit of the desired two-digit pass code by depressing the switch the number of  
times that coordinates with the desired first number. For example, to enter 3, depress the switch 3 times,  
then wait.  
STEP 5: The LED will confirm the first number by flashing BLUE slowly. Once the LED begins to flash  
rapidly, enter your second number by repeating step 4.  
STEP 6: Turn the ignition off - the Secure Valet Switch is now programmed. Follow steps 3 – 5 to enter  
your Secure Valet code.  
Timer Start Mode  
Timer start mode is used to cool or warm the vehicle without manually starting with the key or  
from the CompuStar remote. While engaged, timer start will activate even while the remote is  
out of range. Tap buttons (II+IV) simultaneously for 0.5 seconds to activate timer start mode. The  
remote will beep once and the timer start icon will illuminate just above the clock icon. Repeat the same  
step to turn off timer start mode. Timer start mode will be cancelled any time the vehicle is started  
manually or remotely. To change from the default setting to optional settings, see your local CompuStar  
dealer.  
Default 1: Will start every 3 hours for a 24 hour cycle, or until the vehicle is remote started or started by  
key, and run for 4 minutes (8 minutes for diesel).  
Option 2: Will start every 1.5 hours for a 24 hour cycle, or until the vehicle is remote started or started by  
key, and run for 4 minutes (8 minutes for diesel).  
Option 3: Will start at the time specified on the 2 way remote once within 24 hours and run for either 15,  
25, 45 or 4 minutes (see your local dealer to change the run-time options).  
16  
 
Option 4: Will start at the time specified on the 2 way remote once within 24 hours every day. This  
option requires a cold or hot temperature setting as a safety feature. In other words, prior to starting at  
specified time, the system will only start if it is below the cold temperature settings or above the hot  
temperature settings.  
To program a specified start time, used for Option 3 and 4, perform the following steps;  
STEP 1: Enter remote programming mode by holding down buttons (II + III) simultaneously for 2.5  
seconds. The remote will beep once and the LCD will read “Prog” to indicate that you have successfully  
entered programming mode.  
STEP 2: Scroll through the remote options by taping button (IV) for 0.5 seconds. To set the  
timer start time tap button (IV) one time, or until the timer and the exhaust icons are flashing.  
STEP 3: Once the timer and clock icons are flashing, set the desired start time by tapping button (I)  
for 0.5 seconds to adjust the hour and button (II) for 0.5 seconds to adjust the minute.  
STEP 4: Exit remote programming by holding down buttons (II + III) simultaneously for 2.5 seconds. The  
remote will beep three times indicating that you have successfully exited programming. Remember, after  
you set the time, you must be in timer mode before the vehicle will start. Tap buttons (II+IV)  
simultaneously for 0.5 seconds to activate timer start mode. The remote will beep once and the timer  
start icon will illuminate just above the clock icon.  
Cold/Hot Start Mode  
Cold/hot start mode works in conjunction with timer start mode (see above) and the temperature sensor.  
It allows you to configure your timer start feature to check the vehicles temperature prior to starting. All  
of these options require programming from your local CompuStar dealer.  
Cold Start Settings (Option 2-8);  
Default 1: Off  
Hot Start Settings (Option 2-9);  
Default 1: Off  
Option 2: -10º C / 14º F  
Option 3: -5º C / 14º F  
Option 4: 0º C / 32º F  
Option 2: 30º C / 86º F  
Option 3: 35º C / 95º F  
Option 4: 40º C / 104º F  
Auto Mode  
Auto Mode is only available in certain markets and is not available in the U.S. When the system is in  
Auto Mode, the system will detect the remote as you walk up to your vehicle and automatically  
unlock/disarm. The system will also detect the remote as you walk away from your vehicle and  
automatically lock/arm. Hold down button (I) for 2.5 seconds to activate Auto Mode. The remote will  
beep once and the auto icon will illuminate.  
If you would like to increase the Auto Mode range, which will cause the system to unlock/disarm and  
lock/arm at a greater distance from the vehicle, simply hold down button (I) a second time for 2.5  
seconds. The Auto Mode icon will now flash to indicate you have increased the Auto sensing range.  
IMPORTANT: If you find that you are remaining on the border of range between your remote and  
vehicle, and your CompuStar is continually unlocking/disarming or locking/arming, you will want to turn  
Auto Mode off or engage the third optional setting. While in the third setting, the system will only  
unlock/disarm or lock/arm twice within a two minute period. Hold down button (I) a third time for 2.5  
seconds to turn on the third setting. The Auto Mode icon will now flash rapidly to indicate you are in the  
third setting.  
17  
 
Turn Auto Mode off by holding down button (I) a fourth time for 2.5 seconds. The remote will beep twice  
and the Auto Mode icon will disappear.  
Anti Jacking Mode  
The CompuStar systems have a built in mode that would require you to keep your remote separate from  
your key chain. This feature also requires additional labor. Please consult your installer for more details.  
The Anti Jacking mode allows you to safely disable your vehicle once a thief has driven off with your  
property. If you are car jacked and still have your remote, you can panic the system by holding button IV  
down for 4 seconds. The siren will sound for 30 seconds and the motor of the vehicle will shut down.  
Remote Coding / Programming Routine(s)  
IMPORTANT: Every CompuStar Pro remote must be coded to the system prior to performing any  
operations. Remote coding is typically done at your local CompuStar dealer.  
Programming P2W9000R  
STEP 1: Activate Valet/Programming mode by manually turning the ignition key on and off (between the  
Acc & On positions) five times within 10 seconds. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash once with the  
successful completion of this step.  
STEP 2: Within a 5 second period after cycling the ignition for the 5th time, press button (I) on two-way  
remotes or the (lock) button on one-way remotes for 0.5 seconds. The parking lights will flash once to  
confirm the transmitter has been coded.  
Exiting Programming: Programming is a timed sequence. The  
parking lights will flash twice signaling the end of programming mode.  
Programming Multiple Remotes: After the confirmation flash given in  
step 2, code additional remotes by pressing button (I) on two-way  
remotes or the (lock) button on one-way remotes. The parking lights  
will flash once confirming each additional remote. All systems (except  
the P2WSSR), can recognize up to three remotes.  
Programming P2WSSR  
STEP 1: Remove the AA battery from the remote.  
STEP 2: Activate Valet/Programming mode by manually turning the ignition on and off (between Acc &  
On) five times within 10 seconds. The parking lights will flash once with successful completion of this  
step.  
STEP 3: Within a 10 second period after cycling the ignition for the 5th time, insert the AA battery into the  
remote. The parking lights will flash once to confirm this step.  
STEP 4: Wait several seconds for the parking lights to flash twice and the remote LCD to activate. The  
transmitter has now been coded.  
Programming Multiple Remotes: After the confirmation flash given in step 3, program another remote  
by pressing the (lock) button for 0.5 seconds. The parking lights will flash once confirming that the  
18  
 
remote has been learned. The P2WSSR can recognize two remotes; 2 two-way remotes or 1 two-way  
remote and 1 one-way remote. When using 2 two-way remotes, the second remote will need to be re-  
synced to the antenna prior to operation (see page 10).  
Remote Start Error Diagnostic  
If the remote start fails to start the vehicle, the parking lights will flash three times immediately. Following  
those three flashes the parking lights will flash again corresponding to the error table. The remotes will  
also display to error number, “Str ER ##” on the LCD.
