- This is a brief look at the Compustar RF-2W901-SS 2-way lcd remote and 1-way companion remote starter and alarm. The 2-way LCD remote is finally rechargeable!
It is pared with a Compustar FT6000AS Brain.
***If you would like to know anything else, I would be glad to help.***
** In the video I said that the 1-way remote has about 1000 feet of range, that is not true, it actually has the full 1 Mile range as well. **

This is by far the best how to video on this remote. Thank you!
Jessica Sullivan you're welcome. : )
Wow, learned something new. Had this same 2-way remote for over 6 years and never knew about the remote button-lock on holding the function key for 4 seconds. I even looked in my manual and it doesn't even mention it. Thanks man!
David Mustayne I'm glad that I could be of help, even after all these year. Enjoy!
9 years later this helped so much!
Finally I found something that really helped me haha. My wife and I are annoyed of the sound and I dont have the manual with me, now I can use it without having to cover it just to avoid waking up everybody lols
Hahahaaa- same here , hiding remote under blanket to avoid waking up someone else 😂😂
Thanks for the video. I bought a used 08 Pacifica and it came with one of these. My first thought was wtf? Lol
There was no manual so I went on UA-cam straight away. Thanks again. Very helpful video 👍
Thank you for your quick intro to the feature and feature set up.
Is there a way to lower the volume on the remote without setting it to vibrate mode?
I'm having issues turning my shock sensor back on even trying these steps so back to the installer I go. The battery life on both remotes is fantastic. The rechargeable lasts me about a month n a half. I drive aprox 200 miles a day with many, many stops so it's getting used for sure.
Thank you for watching. But, I'm not sure what you mean. The phone icon beside the bars on the top is actually an icon that tells you that you are in vibrate mode.
i can't get my 2 way remote to check the voltage on my car battery im holding the key button but nothing happens , so if you know somthing i can try please message back thanks
Yes the batteries can be replaced. Keep in mind you have 2 year remote warranty, thus you can just have the remote exchanged from compustar.
Kenn Maxx where were you able to buy replacement batteries? my remote is well out of warranty
This is a remote start and alarm combo. You need to have the right "brain" to have both capabilities. I have the FT6000AS (AS = alarm + start), also they have a FT6200S (S= start). Finally there is also the FT6300A (A = alarm). So you should ask your installer what brain he used, the remote does not determine if it can start your vehicle or not. Hope this helped.
Very helpful thank you
thanks for review bro ... I just got it in my car and I love it ... I just learned some new functions by looking at your video ... thanks for sharing.
You're welcome buddy, I'm glad I could help.
Thanks for this video. I didn't get a manual with mine so I had no idea how to use this.
You're welcome!
Perfect! As i live in canada, and have an auto jetta TDI! It sucks in winters to have a diesel so this would help alot.
You are welcome, thanks for watching. :)
I got this installed in Hamilton Ontario. Canada. Place called DSI Customs. You can find them on google.
Which battery does the 4 button remote take??
thanks for the great review just got this for my new car and love it
You are welcome my friend. Enjoy.
Li Batteries are very good and have a long life, you should not need replace the battery until well after 2-3 years.
How do you get the time to show? Mine just says “ARM”
Hi, do you know if there's a way to turn the remote OFF? To turn ON is "F" for 3 seconds. Also, my clock will not display on the remote? I have the newer DC-3 brain. Is the clock dictated by the brain model? Lastly, is the specific timed start also dictated by the brain? The DC-3 brain seems to only allow timed start every 2, 3, 4 hours, or using the brain's temp sensor. But it looks like no option for a specific start time? Thank you!
Thank you.
When I press the two bottom buttons I turn on valet again. How do I get out of the menú without turning on valet mode?
Thanks very helpful video
Great video. This might be a stupid question but I'm having a hard time finding a video on how to change the battery, I've had this remote for 10 years. If anyone can please assist that would be greatly appreciated thanks
Extremely helpful!
How do you disable the compustar alarm and keep the remote start?
I had this unit installed for $500 Canadian. It will be a little cheaper for automatic cars.
I have the one way remote as seen in this video. But lately it isn't functioning. Whenever any button is pressed, the two lights blinks thrice with 0.5 secs pause unlike blinking rapidly which it used to normally.
need help
thanks
My remote doesn’t have the blue car icon?????
Hello. My remote doesn't show time. I am getting only ARM and DISARM. I am able to set the clock but it won't show on my display like your remote does.
Thank you for this video. Just got mine was tryna adjust the time and figure out what a SLD is it shows my doors open when I select it
Thanks for the helpful video dude.
You're welcome!
How do you get out of valet mode with this car starter
How you get the car pictures on the remote
Mine is set at 3 minutes. How can i change it to 15 minutes?
Great help
Good video, but also like other people I can't seem to figure out how to display the clock on the home screen! It just says arm/disarm. I'm pulling my hair out here. Can anyone help??
Is the antenna the signal strength?
because the manual says: This icon is displayed if the last communication to the vehicle was successful.
and btw, the battery lasts way longer than 1 bar= 1 day, I'm at the 3rd day and it's still not gone down. Thank god, cuz I don't want to be charging this thing every 3 days
Hello! I am just wondering if you know how to program the command start ? I got my battery replaced and it stopped working. Thanks!
Mine doesnt have the siren function. what does it mean by shock on or off? and my display doesnt have the car picture. Wth look so similar thou
How about valet mode?
Did you ever find out the information on how to get the compustar out of valet mode?
Cool. Thanks. I’ve had this for years and never knew I could see the temperature.
How can I change the battery? It’s starting to fail I think. Charges last a shorter period of time.
Open charging port, take the phillips screw and you should be able to take it apart... I have a question, if somebody hits your car and triggers 1 stage shock(just enough to give you warning), do you see notification on remote all the time? Does it beeps all the time until it gets your attention?
@@smiert13 I was told you cannot get a replacement rechargeable battery for this remote.
Can you have a different remote key thing program to your Remote
If I get this Compustar, will I need to carry my Dodge key fob as well?
Yes
Never knew I could have a vehicle on my screen. How do you achieve that? Does it have a pick up truck?
How do i take the battery off ugh !!
Where did you get it installed for $500????? I live in Edmonton nothing here is under $1000 lol
Hi Kenn! Great video. Tell me please how can I activate/ deactivate the start engine timer? Thanks.
Hey there Sergiy, did Ken ever reply to you, if so what was his response to your question?
Nice!
Hello there, I liked your video and I have the same remote, which I just installed, but its in disarm mode and I tried everything. If you can help, I would really appreciate it
How do you extend the run time ? I can’t find it anywhere
Very helpful - how do you actually turn the volume up and down for the chirping sound? its very loud on mine, and i would like to put it at the lowest volume, but can't figure out how. thanks!
Has anyone opened this remote up and replaced the rechargeable battery? If so can you please offer me some instructions how.
hi can i use 2W901R-SS remote with ANT-2WFM (antenna) controller is FT-6200S...
looking to replace remote....Original remote is 2W900FMR...thank you
Hey! :) nice video. Was just wondering how much you paid for the compustar package itself?
Hey, Thank you for watching. I paid $475 canadian, installed.
Kenn Maxx Hey man ;) Ralph`s here in Vancouver BC asking 699 ( unit&labour) ... where did you pay 475 ? Thanks !
Hello. I had it installed in Ontario from a local shop, I have gotten other things from them and they give me a good deal. I think you should shop around, not only in Vancouver, but maybe across the border, which is very close and you will definitely get a better price in the U.S. Good Luck and thank you for watching.
I paid 430 in toronto. Sri Lankan people give me a good deal. If u trust them
That's an amazing price. You were in luck.
Hi is this a starter as well because I bought one but the guy installing it is saying I doesn't include a starter and I have the same model as yours
can the Li Batteries
be replaces on the RF-2W901-SS..?????
Thanks man!
I have the same remote plus security system installed on my car but when I hit the unlock button it only disarms the car and doesn't unlock the doors. any ideas? thanks!
If you stand next to your car while you hit the Unlock button, do you hear the solenoids thump as they try to unlock your car?
@@CitizenPerkins I have the same problem and when I press the unlock button, I do not hear the selenita selenoides (mechanism).
Roughly how long can the remote go without needing to be recharged?
My LCD display only stays on for a few seconds after I get the 2-way response. Is there any way to lengthen this amount of time?
To be honest, I don't know off the top of my head, but can always go to their website and download the manual for the remote.
Kenn Maxx
I have a Acura TL how much is it to install the compustar 901 incl. the bypass module. email address :peter.evelyn@gmail.com
Yes! :) If only it was 2-way as well. :(
How do I change the remote start running time from what mine is now at 25 minutes to 15 minutes. I have the same remote as this one. I cannot find it in the manual.
Did you ever find out how to change that?
@@LiftsbyDavidD No I have not. I was hoping to find out from Kenn Maxx. When I had it installed, the installer asked me what time I wanted it set. Maybe it has to be done by the installer.
Hey ken just another question. I just bought and installed the remote but on the left side of the cars picture in the remote there's an icon that looks like an old rotary phone ringing. You know what that means ?
nvm found out that its an RPS feature.
icecreamgee What does RPS stand for?
remote paging system
icecreamgee
Thank you
Nice review. How will you turn off the rps icon off? The phone icon on the screen? Thx
Yep. The RPS icon is a phone handset icon that shows up in front of the car. The Vibration icon looks more like a beeper w/wavy lines and shows up in the top row with the other icons.
You turn RPS on/off like you do the other functions: Press the car and key buttons for 2.5 secs. Press the Function key until you see "RPS On" (or Off); then press the Lock button to change what you see. Press the car and key buttons again to exit the programming function.
help a lot
My display won't light up....any ideas on how to get it to work?
Is it possible that you have low battery? I have never had this issue so I'm not sure what is causing it for you.
Battery is fully charged :/
On my remote has wrong time,can you please help me ?
Hi, If you look at the video, I there you can see when I get to the Time at 4:10, and you can change it. Also, It will be easier for you find your owner's manual for your remote on google, just google the name and look through it, it has detailed instructions. Thanks for watching.
What does that #5 next to the rundown timer mean?
Hi there, that is not the #5, it is the letter 'S' for "Start".
I have this Compustar RF-2W901-SS 2-way lcd remote installed in a 2001 Chevy blazer...
Does anybody know if I can have this same Compustar RF-2W901-SS 2-way lcd remote reinstalled in a 2004 chevy blazer... I no longer drive the 2001 ...
Well, the "remote" isn't what's installed on the 2001 blazer. The Compustar "brain unit" or CPU is what's installed. Are you wanting to move the brain from Car-1 to Car-2? It might be messy and a bit costly, but I'm sure it could be done. However, you should talk to a local Compustar installer to be sure.
Which you've probably already done since your question is over a year old.
how can I activate the low volt autostart?
Hi. I'm not sure it is possible to autostart in low voltage because it's a safety precaution. Maybe if you look through the manual, there could be a way to disable the low voltage cut out feature, but then you run the risk of draining you battery and not being able to start at all. Hope this helps.
Whats your charge cycle like? How often do you need to charge your remote
?
Late reply lol but mine maybe every 3 weeks and that was using it 4-5 times a day it was a great remote start I so miss that and my 2011 mazda 3 even more 😓
How much did this cost you???
How did you get the carbon fiber?
Hi Miller. It's just a vinyl wrap I had left over from a car project.
+Kenn Maxx looks really clean!
Merci
Avec plaisir
HELP...will these fobs work with what I have?
CM 6200
ANT-SS-25
FCC ID VA5JA510WSS
IC ID 7087A A510WSS
Thanks
Missy Mew Hi, The first two things that you listed, the Compustar Brain and the Antenna seem to be compatible with each other.
Yes there are...what I need to know is which replacement fob(s) will work with the existing hardware? Please help, thanks Ken
how do you set the time?
SEALTRIDENT6 Hi, I cant remember from the top of my head, but it is mentioned in the video somewhere. Alternatively, you can download a manual for the remote from the company's website which will have detailed instructions.
Press "car/trunk" and "key/start" together for 2.5 secs. Then press "F" until you see the Time setting appear. Press Unlock to change the minutes; Press Lock to change the hours. When done, either do nothing for approx. 10 seconds or Press the car and key buttons again to exit the programming function.
