Compustar vs Viper Which One is Better? #lockdownsecurity

Watch as we discuss the differences between Compustar and Viper auto security, and which one is better.

Have owned both brands and have had no issues with viper . But have had problems with compustar alarm

[HAMMER_.]

I wish Compustar have us the option to activate / deactivate certain alarm sensors from the remote or phone app.
For instance if parking at home in the garage, you can just arm a certain sensor, butnif parking at a busy/sketchy area, be able to arm more sensors.
That would be really cool!

I had Compustar 2W Paging installed in 2015 on my 2000 Nissan Altima, and in 2022, Viper 2W pager was installed in my 2005 Civic Si. I personally don't care for remote start. Both systems are great since I had an Authorized Dealer install them. I will say, Compustar has the edge, but Viper is up there with them.
2 things I like about Compustar is rapid honk when alarm is triggered and their 2 way pagers are always updated. Viper does not really update their 2 ways as they constantly look outdated. I will add that with Viper alarms; they are reliable. I haven't heard any installers having problems with them. By the way; good video.

I've got a 1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ, only stumbled on your videos after installing my remote start, I ended up going for a Compustar CM-X with Compustar Prime R3 1 way remote, had 8 wires to connect and the old girl has remote start, ended up costing me $200! If you're wondering how hard it is to install a basic remote start on an old vehicle, it took me an hour and I wish I had done it sooner!

I'm a more familiar with directed having worked in dealerships since 1984, and having that system on vehicles, but moving to compustar it seems slow compared to my viper system and I can't do or see the same controls I did with viper on the same vehicle compustar will not turn on my heated seats and show whats triggered like viper or real time location when vehicle is in motion, viper would she me on the map as the vehicle moved.

Compustar you can flash yourself as long you have the ADS USB but unfortunately can’t say the same to viper since dealers can only flash, I also learned that at one point in time viper/directed actually used to let non-dealers to flash their Directed Modules but for some reason switched it up to dealers only.

I hear Viper has some new remotes coming out real soon. Im excited to see what they are, only because im curious.
I dont think anything can top the T12 / CMX combo in my opinion! Especially with the VAISTECH SEER that ive tied into it!

Is possible to have security system that lets you use your phone instead of a fob?

[bad_vaporizer]

Does compustar kits come with installation instructions? Can you help provide a link?

I just paid 830 for the Viper 3305v 2way alarm system and added the Smart Start app control. It has like 5 levels of pricing for the app service. 30 days free trial .Then $20 $70 $120 $200 and $300 yearly rates. Also can chose to pay monthly or 3 years rate.

Hello. Very good informative video, many thanks. I bought the CS2WQ900-AS but have not received it yet, I have Mazdaspeed 3 2007 model which used to start with a key but I converted it to a start/stop push button and I do have the kit to bypass the key immobilizer, now, do I need anything else to the CS2WQ900-AS to achieve Remote Start? And finally, what options does the CS2WQ900-AS come with in the box? Cheers

I always had Viper for over 12 years and never any problems. My $1, 500 Compustar Pro T13 now 1 1/2 years no longer works. After I push the lock button after 5 seconds unlocks the doors and leaves the car open and unprotected. I went online and found others with the same problem.

Great info which one can work with diesel engines?

[fabiarivera]

This may seem like an odd question. Truth is I don't know much about cars. I just bought a new odyssey 2025. So it does has alarm and auto start. But I'm worried about break ins. Some how my old odyssey would get broken into. No alarm would go off. Is there a way to better secure door and trigger when being opened. They somehow bepassed prior alarm. Thanks in advance

Would any of these work on an FD RX7 with a Haltech ecu?

[tranceport]

Does MyCar2 work on Autopage 2 -way systems?

For reliability Viper is strong. I have installed thousands. Never had 1 fail. Support from directed used to be great long time ago. Things change.
