Programming Compustar Remotes (Traditional Key Vehicles)

[@alexismiller8721]

I was quoted $75 to get mine reprogrammed was able to do it myself with this video in 30 seconds. That is insane to be charged $75 for something so simple

[@compustaronline]

Glad we could help!

[@paul62462]

@@compustaronline the programming sequence you show here, will that work on your TX60A remote as well?

[@Christhegoldenboy]

Bought my car used from a dealership, for whatever reason I didn’t get the remote for the system. After contacting Compustar customer service (they’re extremely helpful by the way) I was able to find a replacement!

[@HaroldBatz-m7p]

Compustar omitted a key step with the 5 times on/off procedure which did not work. You must do this within 7 seconds and then press the lock button. Success.

[@sandrarojas7927]

Many times trying to program 2 remotes unsuccessfully until now. Easy and quick. Excellent. Many thanks

[@allanbanyacsky1986]

Your video is the BEST!!!! I have a 92 Corvette with this remote and in the late Fall of 2021, the remote starting portion stopped working. I was blaming it on the field mice who may have eaten into the wiring system. Your instructions cleared up my issues in less than five minutes. Thank you for posting this most valuable information.

[@compustaronline]

Glad to hear it!

[@ryand9111]

I was initially unsuccessful, but then figured it out for my car. First I would do the five on-off method. My car would immediately blink twice and not take to the programming. I tried at least 15 times. Then I tried the on-off method, but four times instead of five. My car blinked once, I hit the button, then maybe five seconds later it blinked again. I turned my car off and tried the starter....it worked! So for some of you it may need to be four times instead of five. I have a 2006 Honda Civic LX - ANT-AP antenna type.

[@compustaronline]

Thanks for the tip!

[@rangerdoc1029]

Thank you. Mine was 4x

[@frasert8779]

Thank you!!! Btw for anyone having trouble, I had to do it a couple of times before it worked and heard the “click” sound. Also it seemed to work when I hit the lock button immediately after the last cycle. Good luck!

[@jrenna07]

FYI for those of you having troubles. Mine didn’t work after disconnecting my battery and it WOULD NOT let me reprogram my remote (lights would flash once and wouldn’t flash again when I hit lock button. Would flash twice ending programming). I made sure I wasn’t in valet mode. THEN, I disconnected my battery again and started fresh....worked right off the bat

[@tiffaniL5]

Thank you so much! Your method fixed my problem. Helped me out big time.

[@justAman548]

I gotta go somewhere with mine. Mine broke when I had my battery replaced, when I got it back, my trunk pops open when I try to remote start it

Can I used just a transponder key to program? because I lost my main key. thank you

[@redjzaiable]

I always check your vid ones my compustar fails again. Thanks is a great help.

[@MrWesco2]

If this doesn't work unplug the positive connection for one minute. Than try doing this again it should work. This is the process that I had to do to get it to work 👍👍👍👍

[@compustaronline]

If you're talking about your car battery: A) This won't initiate remote programming. B) This may exit valet mode if that's causing issues. C) You should always disconnect negative first, not positive, or you may risk causing a short.

[@tlcbear2]

thank you so much. after 3 yrs it now works

[@compustaronline]

Woohoo!

[@jonatthann]

Thank you! My alarm was going off every time I opened my door! Followed the instructions and now it doesn’t!

I get all the clicks like I’m supposed to, but then when I press buttons on the new remote, I get nothing at all. So freaking frustrating!😢

[@tyler_Tell]

modlel : 1WG15R-AM this remote will not link to my compustar alarm system. I currently have the 2W901R-SS remote. Is there a way to link the new remote to the system. Tried runing the key 5 times and can link the old remote. But not the new one. Any thoughts.

What do you do if you can't get the car to go into the programing mode? I have tried so many times and am at my witts end. I drive a 2014 ford edge if that helps.

[@adraedin]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've got a 2017 Yaris, I can put it into programming mode with the 5 clicks trick but the CS recover doesn't respond to the new fob being pressed. Not sure what else to do...

[@1_Bad_Z]

You may have purchased a fob that's not compatible with brain antenna. Contact Compustar. Good customer support.

[@ansonrivers36]

Do you need 2 master keys to install remote start? My 2006 Lincoln Mark LT only came with 1 master key when I bought it

[@compustaronline]

Ah, it looks like you need two keys during installation (not permanently, just for programming).

For some reason pressing the lock button on the remote didn't work for me. Tried like 20 times Then I pressed bottom side button with the key picture and it paired right away.

H Compustar, by mistake I used the same remote and programmed two cars. so when I remote start the car both my toyota and kia starts their engine together. how do I deactivate the remote from one car? please let me know.. thanks.

[@S13KON]

Did you ever resolve this? They show you how to program but not delete remotes. If you program 3 remotes to a system then add an additional one it will boot the first from the 3. But who has remotes just laying around.

For some reason I have to unlock my car 2-3 times to get the trunk to open. I didn’t have my remote so I hit the unlock button in my car but it locked the door. I closed my door and I was locked out. Luckily I left my keys outside. I unlocked the car with the remote and the alarm went off. I couldn’t get it to stop blaring. It shut off on its own. I tried to remote start and it won’t work. The lights don’t even turn on. I get error code 8. I tried reprogramming the control but it won’t let me . I cant even turn on the key with my key either. Please help.

For some reason my remote let's me program it successfully but then it doesn't lock or unlock or remote start my car I get the 1 beep after the 5 on off key cycles then hit the lock button and get a double beep then take the key out and my remote doesn't work I just replaced the batteries but that didn't fix it either the lights on the remote light up like normal but the car does nothing

[@howiebird9410]

I did this repeatedly and got no single click. Just the 2 completed programming clicks after pressing the lock button. Mine is an older model one way remote system and I just lost my main set of keys. I need to reprogram a remote to have one working one as well as cancel out the lost one. Can anyone help?

Hi Megan, sorry to hear that. It might not just be the remotes that need to be reprogrammed but also the brain inside the vehicle. If this is the case, only the dealer can do this, unfortunately.

Does this work on 2018 Jeep latitude? I've tried multiple times, disconnected the battery. After 5 turns & I leave it in the ACC position, I get the 1 click & I push the lock button & then I get the 2 clicks, but 901 remote doesn't work. Any feedback would be appreciated!

[@justinlord153]

I FIGURED IT OUT! You need to hold the lock button down when doing the 5 key turns. Then the 901 FOB will beep once to let you know it accepted it. Then the 901 remote works fine.

Hm, haven't heard of holding the button down. But glad it worked for you!

So my remote worked fine except the proximity wouldn't turn off so i decided to reprogram it. When I did, it locks/unlocks my doors (no parking light flash anymore though) and now it won't start my car. I've tried reprogramming again and its the same. Only locking and unlocking but no light flashing and no car starting. Winter is coming... please help.

Yes. You need all key fobs you want programmed present at the same time, as any other key fobs will no longer work.

@@daytonafuntim I got it figured out, but thanks for the reply

[@compustaronline]

Yes, programming resets all "banks" on the remote starter. If you want to pair 2 remotes, all 2 remotes need to be programmed at the same time.

WTF did he do? doing reseach on the origonal issue, all i needed to do was program tac. but the tec never tryed that and shut something off. i cant figure oiut out to reverse his fk up. also.my hood switch was broken. PS. why is it soooo hard to find info on older modles? i dont want or need the new crap.

How do I fix that? Please!!! and Thank you

Not sure if you’re still having this issue but I had the same problem and just fixed it by putting the factory key in the ignition and turning it to the on setting then hitting the unlock button on the compustar remote. Not sure if that would work for you but it did for me. Hope that helps.
