The remotes need to be programmed. The remotes for CompuStar systems do not 
come programmed. This is because the CompuStar systems are modular in design 
and the remotes are packed right before shipping the units out. 

That all depends on what vehicle you are working with and what you want the 
system to be capable of. There is no set answer for this question. 

 
What is the green/white wire inside the brain module? 

This wire determines the transmission mode. See page 7. 

 
Where do the blue and purple wires off this extra relay go? (CM3000/CM3200) 

This is a pre-wired positive output, negative trigger relay. See page 18, 
‘Connector 2’. 

 
Which parking light output do I use? 

If you have a positive parking light circuit, then use the positive parking light 
output, pin 2 of connector 1. If you have a negative parking light circuit, then use 
the negative parking light output, pin 1 of connector 2.

 

 
What is the status output used for? 

This is an optional output that will provide a (-) negative output before the 
ignition is triggered during remote start, and will shut down after ignition has shut 
down. (Note: This wire can be used to trigger factory security interface modules 
and clutch bypasses.) Also known as a Ground While Running. (GWR) 

 
I need a ground when armed, where can I get it? 

You can use the starter kill output that goes to the starter kill relay. You must cut 
this wire and place a diode in line so that when the ignition on the other side of 
the relay goes to ground, it cannot back feed to your accessory. Have the stripe 
side of the diode facing the CompuStar module and attach your accessory on the 
CompuStar side of the diode. 

 
Is the system Voltage Sensing? 

No. You must have the engine sensing wire from connector 2 connected to either 
a tach source or the alternator. See page 14. 

 
How many times should the parking lights flash or siren chirp when I press the tach 
learn button? 
 

Once, see page 14.
