Remote Starters Overview
Browse Remote Starters
How do remote starters work?
The basic functionality of a remote start system is this – it is an electronic device installed inside your vehicle that will start the engine without the key. Remote starters are activated by a remote fob or smartphone, depending on the system. The benefit of a remote starter is that it will start your vehicle’s heater or A/C to ensure your vehicle is comfortable when you’re ready to drive.
Control module
At the heart of every Compustar remote start and security system is a control module. This module is installed inside your vehicle and executes all of the commands that you send from your remote or smartphone.
Bypass module
Most modern vehicles will require a bypass module for the aforementioned control module to communicate with your vehicle. Bypass modules work as a “translator” so that our systems can speak your vehicle’s language.
Additional security
Compustar systems can be configured to greatly increase your vehicle’s security through security sensors and alarm alerts. Our premium security sensor, the DAS-II, can detect impact, tilt, and glass-breakage.Frequently Asked Questions
