Compustar PRO T13 Remote Starter

2020-10-20T15:54:48+00:00

Big tech. Tiny remote. Compustar's new T13 remote start-equipped security system is simple and smart.

The modern car alarm is far more than a simple siren and door lock. The most technology-intensive product in the 12-volt universe, alarms have evolved into the working definition of security and convenience.

What was once potentially an all-day affair (for even the most experienced installers), has evolved into a far simpler process. An unobtrusive T-harness and brain module became all that was necessary, programmed via a USB port before the installation. Despite nary a single wire being cut, a feature-filled alarm system can be professionally installed in a matter of an hour or two.

Wanna add remote start to a car with stickshift? No problem. Want to use an app? Of course you can. Pop your trunk? Lift the rear gate? Lock the doors? Roll up the windows? We want the latest and greatest, and we want to use it without a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering. The most elegant solutions always meld our need for technology with usability the feels effortless.

The Pro T13 is the newest remote start-equipped security system under Compustar’s award-winning banner. For the uninitiated, think of remote start as the ultimate convenience, especially in extreme temperatures. Imagine this: it’s cold. Bone-chillingly cold, and it’s time for you to go to work. You know youre going to have to start the car, let it warm up (it’s probably sub-artcic inside the car at the monemt), all the while chipping away at the ice on the windshield because the defroster will simply take way too long. Sound familiar?

No more. Now you press a button. One button. The car cranks while you’re nice and toasty inside your home, office, etc… By the time you’re ready, so is the car - sans ice and at the temperature you want. You walk up, unlock the car and off you go. No muss. No fuss. No risking frostbite.

The T13 also adds a number of access and convenience features to the remote, including a proximity unlock. Especially convenient if your hands are full, the remote acts like an electronic key without having to press a button. Be within about three feet of the car, and POP – the door unlocks for you. As a security measure, you’ll still need the key to drive the car. The two-way remote is full color, has a three-mile range and is submersible. It is one of the thinnest remotes ever made. The company credits the technical advances in PCB technology as the reason the remote borders on the thinness of a cellular phone. The remote itself is built to last for several years of regular use.

Justin Lee is Compustar’s Marketing Director. “We wanted to give consumers that OEM experience without having to buy a new car. The proximity feature is so prevalent in cars nowadays where you can walk right up to your car and get in, without hunting for your keys.”

While this is a standard feature with the T13, it is not a feature imposed on the user. Despite being a simple three-button remote, it has a robust menu system that allows deep personalization of the remote. All told, there are 50 options the owner may choose from on the remote’s menu system. The customization options are accessible at any time, without the need for an installer.

To sync with the alarm, the app will “talk” to a cellular interface, which comes included. The app, known as “Drone Mobile”is a subscription-based service that starts at $2.99 a month. While all of the options allow remote start, door lock/unlock and two-way communication, the premium options also include things like turn-by-turn tracking, geofencing (an alarm sounds if the vehicle exists a predetermined area) and travel history. Given the cellular nature of Drone Mobile, the app has an effectively unlimited range.

Compustar states in their preview video that more than 90% of the vehicles on the road today are compatible with their alarms. “The T13 will be available at hand-picked Pro dealers,” Lee explained. “We train them personally to ensure they are up to standard. If they have that “Pro” name attached, we know the customer will get the best experience.”

Innovation rarely occurs on a predetermined timeline, but when it does, it can change the definition of what is considered “best.” Time will tell if the T13 gains widespread popularity, but more importantly, the foresight Compustar has employed to make the alarm’s interface simultaneously feature-filled and unintimidating will doubtless vault the alarm into a white-hot limelight. One can one only hope the proverbial “bar” will continue to be raised in years to come. If it does, we all benefit.

Viper 5906V Color OLED 2-Way Security + Remote Start System

2020-09-17T14:23:17+00:00

Responder HD features Viper's most advanced color remote, operating a one-mile range, 2-Way security and remote start system with an upgraded user interface, mini-USB charging port and patented menu wheel. No effort has been spared by the Viper development team to create the ultimate color keychain remote control, operating Viper's top-of-the-line, one-mile range 2-Way vehicle security and remote start system.

The result is Viper Responder HD, winner of the coveted �㽶��Ƶֱ�� 2009 Innovations Award. Some of the milestones achieved by our team include:

Viper's first one-mile range color remote, using 900 MHz Spread Spectrum Technology (SST)
A brand new user interface, for the first time utilizing the patented Menu Wheel
New custom Viper animations, to confirm user commands and illustrate system events, on a 128 x 128 pixel Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) high contrast panel, with 262K and 65K full colors, and a wide 160° viewing angle, employing an anti-glare polarizer for enhanced daylight visibility
The OLED display panel on the Viper Responder HD color remote is 20% larger than previous LCD panels on a keychain remote

Viper has created a sophisticated and complex remote control that is more intuitive than competing security products. It walks the new user through the system operation on-screen while delivering tons of real-time information for the power user. Viper completely re-thought the manual layouts so users can play with the remote, and if something unexpected occurs or attracts their interest, they can easily find a quick and simple explanation with references to as much detail as they want.

Built-in Info Center: the Responder HD status screen has an information center built into it! The Info Center displays the remote start run-time remaining before the engine shuts off, as well as the vehicle interior temperature, so you know if it has warmed up or cooled off enough to make your drive comfortable. It also displays the Countdown and Parking Meter timers when running, and the Parking meter timer emits warnings at 15 minutes, 5 minutes and at expiration so you can make sure to feed the meter. Also, you can stop, start or clear these timers any time in the Status Screen using the Menu Wheel. These 4 bits of information can be displayed in the Info Center by pressing the menu wheel while the Status screen is active to toggle and show each one.

Two Car operation: when users decide to change to a paired 2nd vehicle, Responder HD will automatically check the vehicle's availability, and if the desired car is not available it will let you know. If the vehicle is available, it will automatically update the information displayed on the status screen so you know if it needs to be disarmed, or if the engine is running.

Security system Sensor Status in real-time: when arming with a security zone active, Responder HD will receive a report that will identify by name the active zone and display a special icon in the Status Screen. The report will identify all zones that are active (up to 7) by name during the report output.

NEW FEATURE: For the first time, Responder HD reports any sensors that have been bypassed by the Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC™) feature when arming and have a special Sensor Status icon that is displayed in the Status Screen. Any time there is a change of status in the sensors (NPC or a bypassed zone resets,) Responder HD will receive a message from the system and the All Zones OK icon will be displayed.

Sensor Bypass: users can bypass sensors by selecting the level and sensors they wish to bypass. Responder HD will identify the bypassed sensors on-screen and by name so the user knows exactly the level of security they have chosen. After bypassing sensors, the Sensor Status icon will be updated so the user can easily see those sensors are bypassed each time the Status Screen is displayed.

Remote start Fault and Not Available reporting: if the user attempts to operate a security or remote start feature that is not available, Responder HD will identify the fault so it can be quickly resolved.

The intended use and user value of Viper Responder HD constitute nothing less than a new higher level of connection between drivers and their vehicles. With an MSRP of $799, Responder HD is a new level of luxury in the world of vehicle security and convenience. From up to one mile distance from their vehicle, users can stay in constant contact using an advanced and elegant, full-color interface device: their Responder HD keychain remote.
