Remote starter FAQs

Answers to the most common Compustar questions

How much does a remote starter cost in Barrie?+

Pricing depends on the remote type (factory‑fob, 1‑way, 2‑way LCD) and whether you add LTE app control. We include basic install in the bundle and quote the best option for your vehicle.

Will a remote starter work with my vehicle?+

Most modern vehicles are compatible, but some trims need specific bypass modules. We verify your vehicle year, make, and trim before install to ensure full functionality.

What’s the difference between 1‑way and 2‑way remotes?+

1‑way remotes send a start command only. 2‑way remotes confirm back that the vehicle actually started, which is ideal for long-range use.

Do I need a subscription for LTE smartphone control?+

Yes. LTE/DroneMobile features require a subscription for unlimited range, GPS, and alerts. We can set it up and help you choose the right plan.

How long does installation take?+

Most installs are completed the same day. We’ll confirm timing when you book because some vehicles need extra wiring or programming.

Will remote start drain my battery?+

The system has minimal standby draw. Cold weather and short driving cycles are usually the real cause of weak batteries. We can test your battery if you’re concerned.

Is my warranty safe?+

Yes. We use factory‑safe wiring methods and quality bypass modules so your vehicle systems remain protected.

Can I keep my factory key fob?+

Yes. OEM 3X‑Lock starts keep your factory fob, and most kits can be paired with your existing keyless entry.
