    Default Compustar 2W900FMR (3000) issue..help

    Ok...this started happening a couple days ago.

    When I arm/disarm or start my car, the remote doesn't give me confirmation beeps. It doesn't seem to be getting feedback from the car either indicating whether the car has been armed/disarmed or started.

    The car does get arm/disarm and started.

    And also, I noticed that after I shut off the car, I get the alarm tone from the car eveyr 5 seconds about 3-4 times.

    Any ideas? I can't seem to find anything in the user guide.

    I changed the battery too.

    This stared happening with mine as well. I was told that it was either the antenna or the remote. I borrowed a remote from a family member and paired to mine and it worked fine, I paired mine to thiers and it did the same thing. So the remote is not working correctly. Need a new one if you want the 2 way to work. There is a lifetime warranty on the Compustar so if it is the antenna it should be warrantied.

    Happened with mine too, with the same brain. I replaced the remote, the antenna, now just patiently (grrr) waiting for the brain to be replaced........It was neither of those two and it was definetly programmed for a 2 way....Just acted like a 1 way....Happened suddenly after about 3 months of working fine

    OK...

    It turns out that the alrm tone that I get every 10 seconds 3 times is warning me my car is about to get armed by itself (30 seconds after your car shuts off). I must have activated passive arming recently by accident so I turned that off (II + III for 1/2 sec).

    But my remote is still not receiving signal back from the car As per your guys suggestion, I will try someone else's remote first.

    you would have to bring it in to a compustar dealer and get them to check it out, or have someone with the same system let you borrow their antenna and remote just to test which is the problem
