[@andrewbudwill3961]

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!

[@SweetSounds]

Thank you. Compustar has been excellent to work with since we brought them in 20 years ago.

[@SweetSounds]

Now available as of 4/1/21, actually a few days ago.

[@joem.9393]

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.

[@SweetSounds]

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]

@@SweetSounds, if this would open my garage also, it would be the complete system. They should add that feature.

[@jeffsweere]

@@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!

I have the 4905s-KIT and I’m wondering if the remote can be an add on for it!! This system is super nice

[@SweetSounds]

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.

[@ELEVOPR]

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?

[@SweetSounds]

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!

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

[@SweetSounds]

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.

[@NickTrus]

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?

[@SweetSounds]

If you want all the features to work you need to buy the entire RF kit and have the controller updated also.

[@askewg]

Does the Pro T13 include a Security System or is that an additional part that has to be installed?

[@SweetSounds]

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.

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.

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

@@jeffsweere thanks, I’ll do that.

[@FallofSociety]

I keep reading 2 and 3 mile range but is that anywhere even inside buildings with multiple levels thats within range?

[@SweetSounds]

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!

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?

[@SweetSounds]

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]

@@SweetSounds thanks for the information. Would that RFX antenna also work with the T12 remote (just without proximity)?

[@SweetSounds]

@@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.

[@ThomMurphy]

@@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?
