compustar 2wss-as
i just ordered my compustar 2wss-as alarm/remote start system and added the proximity sensors as well. just wondering what your experience was/is with this alarm and if its worth the money. also, is the claimed range is 1.25 miles. is there any truth to this b/c this is one of the main reasons why i am getting the alarm.

I installed one of these units in my car and I am also a dealer. These are excellent units and usually work very good. Chances are you wont get the full 1.25 miles of range unless you in the middle of an open field with no RF interference. They do have some serious range though, even in heavy RF traffic in the city. Def. worth every penny.

Can somebody take a picture of the remote next to the stock Nissan remote? It looks like it's pretty large in the stock photos that are available, and I've heard rumors of it being mistaken for a small cell phone before.

I also install these and while they are fantastic units, i would NOT have purchased the SS model, i have the basic unit (2w900fm) and i love it. The SS has serious remote issues and they claim you're supposed to wear it as a pager (it is about that size anyways)

So, it sounds like the SS remote is HUGE, and the FM is a standard sized remote. My last alarm/remote start was a Python Responder (same as the Viper), and that was pretty large, but still bearable. So nobody has pictures?

That's not too terribly bad at all. I'm going to have to look into that. Range is good and all (as reported)? The auto-door-unlock, and manual-safe-remote-start things work well?

so far this alarm is great. remote start works only when i put it in "reservation mode" which is a great safety feature for manual cars and the range is awesome. 2-stage shock sensor can be sensitive but u can never be too careful. getting the proximity sensors put in soon.

BTW, where can I pickup proximity sensors? I don't believe they are included with original order.

just an FYI, I've seen most 2W900FM remotes in dark blue.. I dunno why mine is gray.... I paid $525 installed and was done by Nazar @ wickedcas.com.. The alarm has been flawless so far..
