[Riff Raff]

sweet glad you got it,yeah that function button you have to hit to get out of the menu you were just at

 

[Narco]

i wish you could lock it automatically by hitting f and the lock button

That'd make too much sense and be too easy.

Hopefully, in about 2 hours mine will be done being installed and then it'll be my turn to get pissed at the "lock buttons" function on the remote.....

get it done? i finally got the remote set up how i want. i turned off those stupid tones that beep at you everytime you hit a button. this weekend ill set the sensitivity where i want it.

Anybody have any pros/cons on a compustar keyless entry/remote start/security system? I'm getting one tomorrow. Not sure on model but it have 1500' range and the 2 way receiver with the lcd screen.

Got mine done last night. Honestly haven't had time to play with it yet other then a basic check to make sure things worked.

FWIW, it is highly programmable. You can set a low temp (which is what I thought but nobody seemed to buy) where it'll autostart to warm up. Mine is set to turn on at 0 degrees for 15 minutes every three hours. You can also do the reverse and set a high temp to cool the car automatically.

I also have mine programmed so the shock sensor is off. I hate false alarms and unless you make it into my car I don't want to hear about it.

It also monitors battery voltage constantly and you can set it to start the car to charge the battery if it goes below whatever voltage you set it at. I thought that was a nifty feature. I think it factory defaults a lot of these settings, but you can change them to whatever you want. All in all it has a lot of functions.

As for the Compustar, I have one in my other car and ir works fine although it's claimed range is not near reality, and it seems a bit weak in that regard. Often won't start from inside stores even though I am well within the range limits. Other then that, no issues with it and it's manual.

Still have to play with the viper remotes. One came with dead batteries so can't do anything until I get new ones.

Alright, found my first issue with this: I lost driver recognition. If I autostart then turn the key nothing reverts to that keys preferences.

Anyone else have that issue?

 

[Eagle]

I think that is normal.
couple of questions that might provide a solution or alternative solution.

is your preference set to key IN, or remote on the DIC? Have you tried the other setting?

can you retrain yourself to punch the driver preference on the door?

How about turning off the Easy exit feature so it stays at Driver ___ until you change it yourself?

 

[Narco]

i hate the easy exit feature... and i could always hit the #1 button if needed. but to answer your question i did not lose driver recognition.
