Compustar DC3 vs 7 Series | What's the Difference |

[@LGiorvy770]

Finally a video with some one who has knowledge thank you 🙏

[@juanesteban8827]

I'm sitting here with a CM-900as and FT-DC3 on my bench trying to decide which one to put in my '12 Civic (I have T harnesses for both). You just worsened my headache!

[@josephpuchel6497]

Hey very knowledgeable & professional on what you do. Excellent video tutorial

[@Mike_Neukam]

What is the difference between the DC3 low current and high current? Is the difference only the included harnesses?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Only difference is the harness that is included with the kit, the LC has the thin low current harness, the HC has the thicker high current harness

[@shhway4590]

Hey I have a 2015 acura TLX Best Buy recommends the dc3, but if you can can you explain the full alarm feature??

[@LockdownSecurity]

The DC3 can be configured as a full alarm/start combo, when you add the FT-ALARMIT kit (which includes the FT-DASII sensor, siren, immobilizer relay, and super bright blue LED.

[@1987bigredk5]

Thank you for this video. Answered all my questions on these products.

[@Howesta]

When it comes to the 7000 series is the main power harness the same as the CM3000. I got a manual car that currently has a 3000 series in it. But I'm become extremely limited to remotes. I'm familiar with install. But if I can prevent having to do a complete re-wire it would be less stressful. Biggest thing is that it has a starter kill relay hooked up.

[@LockdownSecurity]

Unfortunately the harnesses are different, but the colour of the wire coming out the harnesses is the same, so it is easy to match up if you cut and splice the new connector on.

[@andrynenortey3575]

Hello,I purchased a vehicle from an auction and found a cm7200 series in the vehicle but have no idea how to use the remote start.plus I have another device connected to the compustar device,which is MyCar device

Great explanation. Do I need to cut the wire in DC3 if I want to install it on Automatic transmission car?

[@LockdownSecurity]

The DC3 does NOT work on manual transmission vehicles, they never released support for this. The loop must be cut in order to use on auto though.

What t harness would I need to connect a cm-7000 to a 2013 Honda pilot.

I have the cm6000 in my 2007 4runner and have a new cmx module that I pulled from my daughters wrecked car. Yes she is fine. Should I try installing cmx or just leave the cm6000 brain the way it is.

[@LockdownSecurity]

If your CM6000 is working properly, I would leave it alone, you will not see any difference (other than the effort to install it) if you switch to the CMX. Unless you want to go with one of the new key fob kits Compustar has, then I would say you'd have to upgrade, but if you are fine with everything as it is now, leave it.

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes the T13 will work with the FT7000ASCONT, and yes you probably have the FT7000ASCONT in your vehicle.

I’m lost here. I have a 2019 Wrangler Manual 6 speed. It has push start but no Prox key. What system can I go with?? Just want the remote start.

[@chauffeurmarco]

Jeff, tell me. Do we need to hard wired the defrost even if in the module setting you turned it on. My installer turned it on and set for 5 Celsius or below. He said no need to hard wired it but some other on KZbin arguing that it needs to be.

[@chauffeurmarco]

I got a Compustar installed with a RPS Touch and the T12. The thing is that is not working after few 100 of meters. The Compustar employee said to my installer that it’s or the remote or the antenna or the wire. After testing it, still the same. He will talk to a real tech and will call me back. Before living, he told me about the 7200, witch is older I think. But my RPS Touch is compatible with either CM6000 or CM6300. He said it might work with ithe 7000 series. Does it? I don’t know. Right now the max I can’t go is about 400-600 meters. I know it’s the 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) visual but it’s ridiculous. This is about 12% only.

[@thecamarogarage]

Can someone please tell me pricing? None of the local installers are replying to my quote requests. What do these cost? (I just want to see a ballpark of what I am looking at before installation) - [MAXIT] FT-7000AS-CONT (Universal Remote Start & Security System) - ALARMIT KIT (Rather confused on this. So when you order the FT-7000 you get no audio speakers, or sensors?) - PRO T13 with LTE (Wish can buy WITHOUT the LTE since I don't plan on paying the subscription for the Cellphone feature). But yeah, someone please shed a ballpark price of each before installation of course. ThanksBTW: I live in CANADA but even if you mention USD pricing, it still gives me an idea for costs converted to CDN.

[@LockdownSecurity]

The CM-X is the replacement for the CM7000AS.

[@MrJoeym888]

hi joey again do i need this piece to add to the system E-LOCK Relay

[@LockdownSecurity]

The E-LOCK relay comes with the FT7000ASCONT, however the FT7000ASCONT is no longer produced and has been replaced by the FT-CMX, the FT-CMX requires the accessory kit called the FT-ALARMIT kit, which comes with the E-LOCK relay.

[@LockdownSecurity]

You determine which harness is required via www.idatalink.compustar.com. Yes the DC3 needs to be programmed for the specific vehicle it is being installed into, the tool to do this is the ADS-USB.

How do CM900-AS and CM7000-AS compare to each other ?

[@LockdownSecurity]

They are very similar, but, the CM7000-AS is manual transmission compatible, where the CM900-AS is not. Also, the CM7000-AS has more programmable inputs and outputs (if this is required for your application). CM7000 is discontinued now as well, CM900 is still a current model.

[@goodyfpv2297]

Can you deliver to the Uk?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes we ship worldwide, including to the UK (England)

[@jonathan.t6501]

Is the cm7000 discontinued? I see the Max It kits coming with CM900AS now but thought that the cm900 was much older. Between the two, which performs better if you want to have all features such as das-ii, battery backup, drone, etc.? I currently have the CM900 with the Drone X1 Max for my Pro T13 for remote start and alarm and wondering if I could use something better if it's worth the upgrade. Plan to install the das-ii in a few weeks with some other aux options if possible

[@LockdownSecurity]

Yes the CM7000 is discontinued, it is replaced by the CMX. The CM900AS is a current model controller, and is around the 2 year old mark now. If you already have everything working with a CM900, then there really is no reason to upgrade or swap it out for anything else, although I am not 100% sure if the CM900 will accept the FTDASII or not.

The CMX is the replacement for the FT7200, as the FT7200 has been discontinued. The CMX also replaces the FT7000, and technically the FT7300 as well (although the have a CM9A in place of the FT7300 as well).

[@AM-jm5dr]

Great video! How does a consumer get the login for programming?

[@LockdownSecurity]

Programming varies between the DC3 and the 7 series, the DC3 you need to utilize an iDatalink ADS-USB programming tool and you need to have an idatalink.com user account (dealers only), for the 7 series (FT7000, FT7200, FT7300), you can buy and use the Compustar OP500 programming tool (which we sell in our online store (link below). You can also use the ADS-USB tool with the 7 series controllers BUT in order to do so, you need to have a BLADE module plugged into it (otherwise the idatlink.com site will not recognize the 7 series controller). Link to OP500: lockdownsecuritycanada.ca/products/compustar-op500-feature-programmer Link to ADS-USB (and the other idatalink programming tools): lockdownsecuritycanada.ca/collections/idatalink?_=pf&pf_pt_product_choice=Programming%20Tool

You can program it on internet explorer, I've just done using the dc3. Just buy the idataline cable and use compustar.datalink.com make a account, it asks for a company name which is not mandatory, I've done it and I'm not a dealer.

The CMX replaces ALL of the CM7 series controllers, basically does everything that each of the previous CM7 controllers did. With that said, the CM7000 was the full alarm/start controller that came with the FT-DAS sensor (shock/tilt/motion) and a siren, where-as the CMX, does not come with those parts. You must buy the FT-ALARMIT kit accessory, n addition to the CMX< to get the same functionality of the CM7000.
