All my connections are made, and remotes programmed, how do I program the tach?
A: Review the “Common Procedures” section of this manual. You must have your remotes programmed, start
your vehicle, then hold the remote start button. Vehicle should chirp and/or flash once if it programs, three
times if it does not like the tach source.
The vehicle will lock and unlock but will not remote start or flash the parking lights.
A: The system is in Valet Mode. Tap the Lock and Trunk Buttons for a half second to exit Valet Mode. You
can also turn the ignition ‘On ‘then press and release the foot brake 10 times within 10 seconds.
Whenever I try to arm the vehicle, it chirps the siren 3 times and will not arm.
A: Check the hood and trunk trigger inputs.
Do the door lock outputs flip flop in polarity?
A: No. You can use the FT-DM700 relay pack for high current positive (+) locks, or the FT-DM600 harness
used for low current 600mA positive (+) locks.
What are Firmware Version Diagnostics?
A: When you turn the Ignition on and hold buttons 1 and 4 or Lock and Start for 2.5 seconds then the
parking lights will flash 1 time on the CMX series showing V.1.
What is this cartridge slot on the CMX?
A: This is the slot for the Blade cartridge system. This slot is for the Idatalink Blade remote start bypass
modules. For more information on the compatibility and install information please visit www.compustar.
idatalink.com. Using this system eliminates many connections between your standard control module and
bypass module. IMPORTANT: If you are not using the Blade then you will not have or use the black 20 pin
connector on the control module.
How do I take the system out of Valet Mode with a 1 Button Remote?
A: Turn the ignition on, fully press and release the foot brake 10 times within 10 seconds.
Why are the ignition-controlled door locks option not working?
A. Check option 1-09. It should be set on 2 or 3. The option must also be turn on via the remote. On 2
Way LCD remotes tap the Lock and Start Buttons for a half second, the parking lights will flash once to show
the option is turned on. On 1 Way remotes tap the Lock and Start buttons for a half second.
The vehicle remote starts when disarmed, but not when armed.
A: The starter kill relay was installed backwards. Check to make sure the yellow/black wire is going to the
key side of the starter wire and that the yellow wire is going to the engine side.
The vehicle starts and shuts down 3 times in a row.
A: This usually means that the engine sensing mode is not working correctly. If you are using a coil, change to
an injector or try alternator sense mode.
