Common Option Menu Descriptions
1-01 Unlock before, Lock after remote starting - Doors will unlock to remote start and then relock once started. This is to disarm factory alarms on certain vehicles.
1-03 Driver’s priority unlock - The driver’s door must be isolated from the other doors. Use the Orange/Black CN4 as your negative 2nd Unlock output.
1-04 Double pulse unlock - Sends two negative (-) pulses on the blue unlock wire.
1-06 Reservation Lock (Manual Transmission) - Setting 1 allows the doors to lock when setting reservation. Setting 2 does NOT allow the doors to lock when setting reservation.
Setting 3 gives 10 seconds before setting reservation mode after closing the last door to allow the user to open another door.
1-09 Ignition controlled door locks – Default setting locks doors when foot on foot brake. Unlocks doors when key turned off or when e-brake set on manual transmissions. Tach or
alternator sensing mode must be used for this feature. You must also turn this feature on through the remote by tapping I + IV (2 Way remotes) or Lock + Key (1 Way remotes)
2-01 Tach Sensing Method – This option changes the method which is used to read tach on different vehicles. It adjusts for situations when there may be over cranking when remote
starting. This option can also be adjusted based on option 2-12 – Crank Time. Please see tech update from April 2008 on www.compustar.com for more info.
2-02 Turbo Timer - The e-brake must be connected to the control module. Available times are 1, 2, and 3 minutes. You must also turn on this feature through the remote by tapping
buttons III + IV.
2-03 Diesel Timer - Without setting this option you must find the vehicle’s wait to start wire. The default time for Setting 2 is 10 seconds. This can be increased or decreased only
with the Option Programmer OP500.
2-04 Trigger start - This option allows the control module to be used as a slave unit. This option determines whether the slave start wire on CN3 requires a single or double pulse to
activate the remote start. This can be used on vehicles where the user would like to keep the factory remote.
2-05 Cold Start with Thermistor Assembly - This option turns on the cold/hot starting features. This option works in conjunction with 2-6, 2-8 and 2-9. The thermistor must be plugged
into the controller/brain.
2-06 Timer Start, or, Minimum Interval Between Cold Starts - This option dictates the time interval when vehicle will remote start or check temperature and remote start.
Default 1: Will start every 3 hours until the vehicle is remote started or started by key – for 4 minutes.
Option 2: Will start every 1.5 hours until the vehicle is remote started or started by key – four 4 minutes.
Option 3: Will start at the time specified on the 2 way remote one time for the duration set by Option 2-7.
Option 4: Will start at the specified time on the remote every 24 hours if the temperature falls below as set under 2-8. For example, if you want your car starts everyday 7 am in
the morning for 25 minutes when the temperature of the inside of the vehicle falls below 32°F, you need to set up:
1) Option 2-5 (Cold Start) turned on,
2) Option 2-6-IV (24 hr. repeat) turned on,
3) Option 2-7-II (25 min run-time) turned on,
4) Option 2-8-IV (Temp 32°F) turned on,
5) Set the reservation time at 7 am (see User’s guide)
6) Turn on Timer Mode of the 2 way LCD remotes (see User’s Guide)
2-10 Setting Tach/Alternator/No Tach Sensing/1.5 Second Crank - There are four modes for starting the vehicle. IMPORTANT: For manual transmissions you MUST use tach or
alternator sensing. The four are listed below:
1) Tachometer Wire Sensing – No Tach Learning Button on Pro Series. To learn tach press and hold the foot brake. While holding the foot brake hold the remote start button for
2.5 seconds. Tach wires can be usually be found on the coil pack of the engine or as the odd colored wire on any of the injectors.
2) Alternator Wire Sensing – This mode requires connection to stator wire on the alternator. The wire tests 0 volts DC while the vehicle is off, 1-5 volts while the ignition is on,
and a minimum of 12-14 volts while the vehicle is running.
3) No Tach Sensing – No tach sensing is an alternative engine sensing mode. No tach sensing does not require a connection to the vehicle other than the main ignition harness.
4) 1.5 Second Crank (V.33 or greater) – This option creates a 1.5 second crank output on the yellow starter wire. Should only be used for vehicles with built in anti-grind.
2-12 Crank Time – This option changes the crank time when reading tach on different vehicles. It adjusts for situations when there may be under cranking when remote starting. Please
3-04 Starter-Kill relay - In the default setting, the relay will act as an anti-grind and starter-kill circuit. On setting 2, the relay will act as anti grind only.. Setting 3 is the same as 2, but a
passive starter-kill is activated 45 seconds after the vehicle is turned off or disarmed.
3-05 Anti-Jacking - This option requires the starter kill relay to be installed in the ignition circuit rather than into the starter circuit. With this option set to option 2, Panic Mode becomes
Anti-Jacking Mode. If Anti-Jacking is activated while the vehicle is running with the key in the ignition, the siren will sound for 30 seconds then the system will disconnect the ignition,
thereby disabling the vehicle. The siren will continue to sound for 1 more minute.
3-09 Horn Output When Alarm is Triggered - This option changes the output on the horn wire. On default setting the horn output will pulse when alarm is triggered. Setting 2 the horn
wire becomes a constant output when triggered. This output on the wire only pulses or holds ground (-).
3-10 Valet - This option changes the way you put the system into valet mode. On default setting you can either cycle the ignition 5 times with the key or turn the ignition on and tap
buttons I+III. Setting 2 you can either cycle the ignition 5 times with the key or tap buttons 1 + 3. Setting 3 turns the Secure Valet Switch on. See Programming the Secure Valet Section
above.
3-11 Auxiliary Settings Mode - This option requires the programming of auxiliary settings. If you need more than 2 of the supplied auxiliary outputs, you can use the POC options with
the OP500. With this option turned on, the Aux 2 wire from the system becomes non functional and the Aux 1 wire becomes the data wire that communicates with the auxiliary settings.
4-01 Aux 1 output - This option changes the behavior of the output on Aux 1. If you want to set a specific time change this option to Setting 4.
4-02 Aux 2 output - This option changes the behavior of the output on Aux 2. If you want to set a specific time change this option to Setting 4.
4-05 Secure Auxiliary Output (Aux 1 and 2 only) - With this option on the default setting you must first tap button 4 on the remote and then tap either button 2 or 3 to activate Aux 1
or Aux 2. This is to prevent accidental triggering of Aux 1 or 2 if they are hooked up to door poppers or window modules. On optional setting 2, this turns the secure aux off.
4-06 Auxiliary Input 1 - This option changes the input behavior of the pre-warn wire on the Aux Input Sensor (green plug). The default setting is the Prewarn when it sees a ground (-)
trigger. Setting 2 changes the input to an instant trigger. Setting 3 changes the wire into a ground (-) disarm input. That can be used as an input when using the control module as a
slave unit.
4-07 Auxiliary Input 2 - This option changes the input behavior of the pre-warn wire on the Aux Input Sensor (green plug). The default setting is the Instant trigger when it sees a
ground (-) trigger. Setting 2 changes the input to a Prewarn. Setting 3 changes the wire into a ground (-) arm input. That can be used as an input when using the control module as a
slave unit.
4-09 Key Sense or Glow Plug Input - Default setting sets the wire as a glow plug input wire. Setting 2 changes the wire into a key sense input. The key sense input is used to prevent
setting reservation (manual transmission) and passive arming while the key is still in the ignition. The dome light supervision will stop when the key is inserted in the ignition.
4-10 Trigger Start or Closed Loop System Input - Default setting is the trigger start when using the control module as a slave unit. Setting 2 changes the wire into a closed loop
system. The wire becomes an instant trigger if the wire is separated from ground. (-) This can be used for headlights housings or connected to a tow hitch.
Special Option Group 1 - This option group controls the Diesel Timer and Auxiliaries 1 though 7. Aux 3 through 7 are only available with the Auxiliary settings. The Diesel Timer can
only be set for 3 to 99 seconds. Aux 1 through 7 can be set from 1 to 100 seconds. IMPORTANT: This option group can only be accessed with the OP500 Option Programmer.
Special Option Group 2 - This option group controls the Programmable Output Connectors (POCs). The POCs are located on CN3 (odd numbered wires). IMPORTANT: This option
group can only be accessed with the OP500 Option Programmer. The default setting each option is 0. You can set each POC to 1-12. This changes the function of the POCs. Please
see the option menu and wiring guide for details of each POC.
How to Change Options with OP500 and Remotes
The options can be set using the OP500 Option Programmer, 1 Way remote, 2 Way remote, or the antenna button on Canadian ANT-1WAM or ANT-1WSH. Firstech
recommends using an OP500 Option Programmer since not all options are accessible with the remotes or antenna buttons.
Option Programming Using the OP500 Option Programmer
The OP500 can be used to program any available option. You must disarm the system before using. You no longer need to program the remotes before using (V.36.2 or greater). It is
required to program options in Special Option Groups 1 and 2. IMPORTANT: You need to update your OP500 to read options on Version 37 or greater modules.
STEP 1: Using the blue connector on the top of the OP500, connect it to the control module via the antenna wire. (Use the included extension cable if necessary.) Once connected,
the OP500 will power up as long as the main ignition harness to the controller has been connected properly.
STEP 2: To change the option number you wish to program, use the left and right arrow keys on the OP500. It will scroll through the options available in menu 1 and then move
to menu 2, then 3 and 4. Use the up and down arrow buttons on the OP500 to adjust the option settings; “1” is the default setting, and “2”, “3”, and “4” are the optional settings.
At the end of menu 4, if diesel mode or auxiliary settings functions were enabled – or if any of the auxiliary outputs were set to “Program”, the duration of these settings
can now be adjusted.
Following the auxiliary and diesel settings (if selected), the POC options will be displayed on the OP500. The POCs can be set between 0 (default) and 19.
STEP 3: When finished with the adjustment of the various option settings, press and hold the “W” (Write) button until the OP-500 chirps, which is approximately 2.5 seconds.
This will write the settings to the control module. Wait until the module displays “Success” before disconnecting it from the antenna cable.
To reset the options, hold the “R” (reset) button and “W” (write) button for 2.5 seconds. To write the reset, hold the “W” button until the OP-500 chirps, which is approximately 2.5 seconds.
Option Programming Using a Remote
Using a remote is a timed process so read this section in its entirety before beginning. IMPORTANT: Special Option Groups cannot be programmed with a remote – the OP500 must
be used. If at any time during the process you hear a long siren or horn sound the system kicked you out of programming mode.
STEP 1: Select the option menu that contains the desired programming option.
To select a menu, use the following button combinations:
I+II for 2.5 sec. then I+II for 2.5 sec.
I+II for 2.5 sec. then I+IV for 2.5 sec.
I+IV for 2.5 sec. then I+II for 2.5 sec.
I+IV for 2.5 sec. then I+IV for 2.5 sec.
Menu 1
Menu 2
Menu 3
Menu 4
*Buttons I, II, III, IV correspond to I = Lock, 2 = Unlock, 3 = Trunk, 4 = Start on 1 Way remotes
STEP 2: After entering the option menu that contains the desired option, tap button (IV) on two-way remotes for .5 seconds and buttons (Trunk + Start) on one-way remotes
for 2.5 seconds the number of times equal to the option number. Wait for a parking light flash and siren chirp between each button press. After selecting the desired option number,
the system will confirm which option you have selected by the number of siren chirps and parking light flashes.
STEP 3: Once the system is finished confirming the option number, set the option to the desired setting by tapping buttons I, II, III, or IV. To set options with the one-way remote the
button configuration is different. Tap the Lock Button for Setting 1, Tap the Unlock Button for Setting 2, Tap the Key Button for Setting 3, and Hold the Trunk and Key Buttons for Setting
4.
Resetting to Factory Defaults: To reset the options in a particular menu group, enter the menu by following STEP 1, then tap button III for 0.5 sec, three times. Wait for the siren to chip
and parking lights to flash between each tap. After the third tap, the option menu will reset and the siren will chirp three times. This must be done for each option group that needs to
be reset.
Option Programming Using the 1-Way Antenna Button
Programming the main controller option using an antenna is a timed process so you should read the instructions entirely before beginning.
STEP 1: Turn vehicle’s ignition to the on position.
STEP 2: Selecting the Option Menu - Select the option menu that contains the option you would like to adjust. Be aware, the special option groups are not available when programming
options with an antenna. To select a menu, use the following button combinations:
Hold antenna button until you hear/see 1 chirp/parking light flash.
Hold antenna button until you hear/see 2 chirps/parking light flashes.
Hold antenna button until you hear/see 3 chirps/parking light flashes.
Hold antenna button until you hear/see 4 chirps/parking light flashes.

Menu 2
Menu 3
Menu 4
STEP 3: Selecting the Specific Option - After entering the option menu that contains the option you wish to change, tap the antenna button the number of times equal to the option
number you wish to change. A few seconds after you have stopped selecting an option, the system will confirm which option you have selected by the number of siren chirps and parking
light flashes.
STEP 4: Setting the Option - After the system is finished confirming the option number, set the option to your desired setting by tapping the antenna button 1,2,3, or 4 times.
Resetting to Factory Defaults: To reset the options in a menu, enter the menu as if you were going to program an option then hold the antenna button for three seconds. The option
menu will reset and the siren will chirp three times. The options in the other three menus will remain set.

This loop wire determines the transmission setting. The default position (uncut loop) is for manual transmissions. When the loop is cut, the system will be ready for automatic
transmissions. In the default (manual transmission) mode, the system must be set up in Reservation mode prior to the vehicle being able to remote start. IMPORTANT: All warranties
or claims are void if a controller with a cut loop is installed on a vehicle with a manual transmission.
Tach Learning
When you go to learn the tach by holding the foot brake and holding the remote start button for 2.5 seconds on the remote. If you see three parking light flashes followed by a certain

Frequently Asked Questions
I have everything hooked up and the system will not respond.
A: The remotes need to be programmed. Review the “Remote Programming Procedure” section of this manual.
I am trying to program the control module with the OP500 Option Programmer and it flashes “ER 02” when I plug it in to the antenna cable. What should I do?
A: Make sure that the system is not locked/armed. The last thing to check is the antenna cable or antenna extension cable – make sure this is not damaged. If you need to, try another
cable. When the OP500 is working properly, it will read “success good.”
Where do the blue and purple wires off the extra relay go on the CM4000/CM4200DX?
A: This is a pre-wired positive output, negative trigger relay. Use the secondary ignition, starter, and accessory outputs from CN 3 to give a negative trigger to the purple wire. This will
determine the12V positive (+) output of the blue wire, which you can then connect to your secondary ignition, starter, or accessory wire.
I need a ground when armed wire for i.e. window modules, does control module have one?
A: You can use the starter output on CN1 that goes to the starter kill relay. You must cut this wire and place a diode in line so that when the ignition on the other side of the relay goes to
ground, it won’t back feed to your accessory. Install the stripe side of the diode facing the control module.
I have the Pro 2WSSR remote and antenna and am trying to upgrade the system, what do I need/do?
A: Make sure you have the 4 pin to 6 pin antenna cable and that you have the most current software on the control module. This should be Version 28 or greater.
Drive Lock (Ignition Controlled Door Locks) are programmed and tach set but still do not function. What is wrong?
A: Once you program Option 1-09 you must also turn the option on with the remote. Buttons I + IV 2 Way remote, Lock + Key buttons 1 Way remotes.
