- Reviewed in Canada on January 10, 2024Surprise, as of January 2024 the 920S comes with the upgraded 1500ft 900R remotes and upgraded antenna like the 925S !
If you have wired a stereo in your car in the past then you should have no problems installing this remote start system. Most of these lower end Compustar remote starts are based on same CM900 brain, even the 4900S which costs 2x as much.
There are 2 ways of getting around immobilizer in 2000 and newer cars. You either purchase $17 Greensen /Qiiyu car immobilizer 12v kit like I did and use your spare/valet key in the box (mount it somewhere accessible so you can remove the key during summer) or you visit your local radio/alarm install shop and ask 'politely' if they are willing to sell you a pre-programmed to your car Blade AL module which slides in the back of the CM900 brain unit.
Technically the remote start and the immobilizer box (with spare key) are wired separately. The immobilizer box just needs 12v when ignition turns ON. That's it.
I installed this in a 2008 Subaru Forester and it works great. In a Subaru you can also disable factory alarm by inserting the key, turning on ignition and opening drivers door and quickly holding the door unlock button until you hear 2 honks.
This is the best remote start option on a budget (otherwise we'd be spending $500 to have one like it installed). I used to have a Compustar remote start system nearly 18 years ago in my VW which is why I trust the Compustar brand. Yes they try to make it difficult for regular DIY'ers like us and have you go to a shop but you can get around it with some patience and some googling. Good luck.
