Compustar CSX4900-S 4-Button 2-Way, 3000' Remote Start System w/Drone X1LTE

This is my first Compustar remote starter that I've installed. Previously I've stuck with Crimestopper products for many cars, but I really wanted to give Drone a try. Having a slot built in for the Blade AL is SUPER nice. It makes installing a bit faster and MUCH cleaner than having another bulky box to mount under the dash.Range is really good on the remote, plus the feedback to let you know when the vehicle has locked/unlocked/started is great.The wiring diagram in the instructions was straightforward and to the point. But the instructions on changing features and settings could use an update to make more clear. Though, if you do enough reading and are technically inclined, it's not too difficult to figure out.Side note: You do need to purchase the OP-500 programmer to change certain features/settings. In my case I installed this on my diesel truck and needed to set a delayed start for the glow plugs after a "key on". This feature can only be changed with the OP-500. A bit annoying, but honestly that little programmer makes changing features a breeze, plus now I have it for future installs.My only other negative is the thermistor it comes with to know how warm/cold it is in the vehicle is super, super short. Which means it has to live up inside the dash with the unit itself so you don't get an accurate temperature read out on Drone, it always thinks it's warmer than it actually is.Drone was super easy to figure out and set up. It is extremely convenient. Drone itself makes this unit worth the money. Never have to worry about locking keys in the truck again!If you're mechanically inclined and good with electrical, this unit is pretty easy to figure out. This kit will be my go to unit for future car starter installs, I'll probably end up upgrading a couple of my old crimestopper installs with this guy for all the added features/convenience.To sum it all up:Great car starter for the money.Awesome features, Drone is sweet, works just like it should. Definitely will buy again.

Worked great on my old 96 Chevy truck. Love the drone feature. The remote start itself was time consuming to install. But the Drone feature was a plug and play to the module and easy to register. Had to hook up a set of relays because it don’t have a positive door lock trigger. It has to ground relays for lock and unlock.Wanted to change some of the features in the module. Just basic stuff. Like when I start it with the remote I want the doors to lock, also wanted the horn to chirp with a command and a couple other things. Spent a few hour trying to do it with the remote without success. Had to purchase the OP-500. That made it a breeze and is simple to use.

So I bought and the blade this thinking I could install it in my 2011 Toyota Tacoma. Since I have done stereos and amps before. Get this in the mail and look it over and I start to realize I’m over my Head on trying to do this. So I called a local audio store that sells this brand and asked if they install products that weren't purchased from them. He asked the brand and I told him computer. Said they do and how much. Took it in this Friday the 13th to be installed. Took them from 9-1 to be done.Works like I hoped and with the Drone App. Now I can have my truck heated up in the winter.

Title says almost full story.Wonderful system, have one in both of my cars.Compustar DOES NOT follow their warranty if purchased from Amazon. My remote has stopped responding, through no fault of my own, and the company says they will not replace because I purchased from here. They said I could buy a replacement myself, and then sent me a link to their own purchase page where this exact key fob is EIGHTY WHOLE DOLLARS.What a shame.

very high quality product. do not attempt to install if you have never done a R/S. will require a bypass if your car is 97 and above,some cars don't need it most do. range is amazing. drone will gps track your car also tell you the speed,great for a business with a delivery van. subscription required. ive installed dozens of these compustars all have been 100 tech support has also been super helpful the few times that i have called.

I’ve been using this for several months and it works great. After having it professionally installed I added the drone mobile app to my phone allowing me to remote start, unlock, lock and track the car via phone. The provided remote also works perfect as a backup. Overall 5 stars, no issues thus far

well, i don't write reviews often but here i am, i doing this cause i really like the product it comes with the Drone app so you can use it with your cellphone, i use it with the Fortin Evo-all bypass was super easy and i have to buy the flash link updater for the fortin bypass, no way out, this updater is for flashing the bypass so you can set which car year model etc and for the remote start you are going to use, is kind of simple, i was scare at the beginning but once you do it is not that hard, well going back to remote starts is awesome works flawlessly, and yes i will recommend it to a friend to buy it, i am just about to order another one for my sisters car, cause it works really good.

Nothing much to say, it does what it needs to do. The Drone app is a nice touch to start my truck from all the way at the back of my place of employment, no issues with the remote start since owning it since August. Fob is nicely built and durable. Worth it, I prefer it over my Viper.
