Computar Remote Start question

NissanTracker · 12-16-2020, 10:34 AM

Howdy,

I purchased a Compustar remote start system and it turns out that it needs to get programed to use the OEM Fob (3 click feature). Anyone have experience programming these? Specific cable i need to purchase? (For my wife's Mazda CX-5, but seems general enough to ask here)

exact one is: Compustar Firstech FT-DC3-LC Remote Start Module

Thanks!

The Z doesn't have an OEM remote start feature. It's possible someone here has experience with the same product on another vehicle. But I'm going to guess that the google might be a better resource for your needs.

Sorry, just updated the description. This particular kit allows you to use the OEM Fob for remote start instead of the typical second FOB that comes with remote starters.

Quick search found that you will need a USB cable or Mobile adapter depending on how you want to flash the module. Looks like it can be purchase on eBay and Amazon. Then use the website or app, as appropriate, to upload your firmware.

Before you can use your DC3, it must be connected to the internet and flashed with firmware tailored to the vehicle you are installing on. To connect to the module to your computer, you will need the Weblink USB PC programmer (available from your distributor). Then visit http://compustar.idatalink.com to flash your module. You will need to create an account if you don’t already have one. You can also program the DC3 using the Weblink Mobile adapter for iOS or Android. The Weblink Mobile RS app is available through iTunes or Google Play. PLEASE NOTE: All DC3’s are shipped without any firmware loaded at the factory.

Are we attempting this on a Z or Mazda?

I moved it here for now.
