Quick Reference
Button Lock
The 2WT11R-SS comes equipped with button lock. This requires you to tap any button to wake your
remote up then tap the button for the function you are trying to activate. Button lock can be turned off in
your remote’s option menu.
Valet Mode
When servicing or loaning your vehicle to others, the system should be placed in Valet Mode. Valet
Mode prevents the system from remote starting and disables all alarm functions. IMPORTANT: While in
Valet mode the remote will still control power lock and unlock systems. The parking lights will not flash.
The system can be put into valet one of three ways:
1. While holding the foot brake, cycle the key to the Ignition or ‘On’ position and then
back to the ‘Off’ position 5 times within 10 seconds. The parking lights will flash once
indicating that the system has entered Valet Mode.
2. Turn the vehicle’s key to the ignition “on” position, tap the Function button 3 times, and finally tap
the Lock button. The parking lights will flash once, the remote will read “Valet On” and Z’s will show
on the LCD above the vehicle’s hood to confirm valet mode. Repeat this process to exit valet mode. The
parking lights will flash twice, remote read “Valet Off”and Z’s will disappear confirming valet mode is
disabled.
3. Turn the key to the Ignition or ‘On’ position then using a 4 button remote press and release
the lock and trunk buttons together simultaneously for a half second. The vehicle parking lights
will flash 1 time to indicate the system has successfully entered valet mode.
Remote Maintenance –Battery Charging
The 2WT11R-SS comes with a rechargeable battery. Use the included power adapter and
micro USB cable to charge your remote.
2WT11R-SS:
First, locate the micro USB port on the top of your remote. Connect your micro USB cable to the power
adapter and plug into wall outlet. The LED on the front of the remote will flash red showing that your
remote is charging. The LED will change to solid blue when charging is complete. This should take
approximately 2 hours.
1WG8R-SS:
Locate the small indent on the side of your remote. Use a small flat tip screw driver or flat plastic tool to
pop open your remote. Gently pull the remote apart taking care to not damage the circuit board. Your
battery size will be listed on the back of the remote. Replacements can be purchased from your local
Compustar dealer or an electronics store.

seconds. The remote will beep and the LCD read “Remote Menu” to indicate that you have successfully
entered programming mode.

5
STEP 2: After entering programming mode the time icon will flash indicating the current
time. Adjust the time settings by tapping the Lock button to change the hour and
Unlock button to adjust the minute.
STEP 3: Once the time has been set, exit remote programming by holding down the Trunk and
Start/Stop buttons for 2.5 seconds. The remote will beep indicating that you have successfully

Remote LCD (liquid crystal display) Diagram and Icons
Your remote pager will indicate the status of your vehicle while in range. The unique LCD design will
visually display such icons as lock/unlock status, remote start confirmation and remaining run-time,
impact/shock notification, battery voltage, temperature display and much more.

9
Common Icons –
Lock/Arm –Unlock/Disarm
This icon indicates whether the system is locked/armed or unlocked/disarmed. While armed, the system will
monitor the doors, trunk, hood, shock sensor, and aux inputs. If any of these inputs are triggered while the system
is armed, the alarm will be triggered.
Trunk Release
This icon will be displayed when the trunk release function has been activated. By default, the system will be
disarmed and the doors will unlock before the trunk is released.
Signal Strength
This icon is displayed if the last communication to the vehicle was successful.
Valet Mode
This icon will be displayed while you are in Valet mode. While in valet mode, the system will not perform any
functions other than lock and unlock. The alarm will not arm or disarm while locking or unlocking. If any other
function is attempted, “Sleep” will be displayed. The system will not monitor the alarm triggers while in Valet mode.
Battery Indicator
This icon displays the remaining battery life left in 33% increments.
Clock
Displays current time, remote start runtime, turbo mode time remaining, inside temperature of the vehicle, battery
voltage of the vehicle, battery voltage of the remote and failure of signal transfer.
Starter Icons –
Engine Running
This icon will be displayed while the vehicle is running after it has been remote started.
Start Availability
This icon will be displayed when the vehicle is ready to be remote-started. If this icon is not displayed, you will not be
able to remote-start the vehicle.
Timer Mode
This icon will be displayed when Timer mode is active. Timer mode can be set up to start the vehicle every 1.5, 3, or
once very 24 hours.
Cold/Hot Start
This icon will be displayed if Cold Start mode is currently active. Cold Start mode will start the vehicle if the vehicle
reaches a preset hot or cold temperature. These temperatures can be adjusted by the installer.
Alarm Icons –
Siren
This icon will be displayed if the siren is turned on. Turning the siren off only applies to the chirps when arming,
disarming, or remote-starting. The siren will still sound if the alarm is triggered.
Hood
This icon will be displayed if the hood is opened while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while
displaying this icon. This means that the alarm was triggered. If this icon appears while trying to remote-start the
vehicle, it means that the vehicle will not start because the hood is open.
*The above LCD layout and icons may vary slightly from the actual layout and icons displayed on your remote pager.

10
Impact
This icon will be displayed if an impact to the vehicle is detected while the system is armed. The remote will beep
rapidly while displaying this icon if the impact is hard; this means that the alarm was triggered. If it beeps slowly while
displaying this icon, that means that the impact was soft and that the alarm simply gave four warning chirps.
Door
This icon will be displayed if the door is opened while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while
displaying this icon. This means that the alarm was triggered. If this icon appears while trying to remote-start the
vehicle, it means that the vehicle will not start because the door is open.
Trunk
This icon will be displayed if the trunk is opened while the system is armed. The remote will beep rapidly while
displaying this icon. This means that the alarm was triggered. If this icon appears while trying to remote-start the
vehicle, it means that the vehicle will not start because the trunk is open.
Car Call
This icon will be displayed while someone is attempting to contact you using the RPS sensor. To trigger the RPS
sensor, you must knock on the windshield where the sensor is located. Something that creates a higher pitch, like a
key, is better suited to trigger the RPS.
Advanced Icons –
Passive Mode
This icon will be displayed if Passive mode is currently active. Passive mode will automatically arm the system 30
seconds after the last door is closed or 30 seconds after the system was disarmed if no door was opened. This mode
is ignored while the ignition is on with the key.
Drive Lock
This icon will be displayed if Drive Lock mode is currently active. Drive Lock mode will lock the doors automatically if
the ignition is on and the brake is pressed or if the ignition is on and the engine exceeds the idle RPM multiplied by 2,
depending on the options set by the installer. The doors will be unlocked when the ignition is turned off. In a manual
transmission vehicle the doors will unlock when the emergency brake is set.
Turbo Mode
This icon will be displayed if Turbo mode is currently active. While Turbo mode is active, the vehicle will remain
running for a preset time after the emergency brake has been set and the key has been removed from the ignition.
2nd Car Mode
This will be displayed while you are in 2nd Car mode. 2nd Car mode allows you to control another vehicle with the
same system installed in it. The remote needs to be coded to the other vehicle in 2nd Car mode for this feature to
work.
Vibration
This icon will be displayed if the remote is set to vibrate only. While the remote is set to vibrate only the remote
will not beep, even if the alarm is triggered. The remote will still vibrate in this mode.
Alarm Clock
This icon will be displayed if the Alarm Clock function is turned on. When the clock reaches the preset time, the
remote will beep and flash the alarm clock icon. Press the Key/Start button for a half sec. to silence the remote.
Shock Sensor Bypassed
This icon will be displayed when the shock sensor is bypassed by holding the Lock and Unlock buttons <insert
icon> for 2.5 sec. Impact to the vehicle will not be detected at this time. This icon is always displayed on starter
only systems because there is no shock sensor.
Aux Mode (Alarm or alarm/starter systems only.)
This icon will be displayed while you are in Aux mode. During this time, you can activate auxiliary outputs 1 or 2
by pressing Function button then Trunk or Function button then Key/Start . Aux outputs can be used to
activate various systems or functions in a vehicle.
Voltage
This icon will be displayed while the remote is reporting the voltage of the vehicle or remote battery.
Temperature
This icon will be displayed while the remote is reporting the temperature of the vehicle.

11
General Features
The remote transmitter functions are predetermined and programmed from the factory. The five button
configuration allows for many functions to be performed through a series of tapping and/or holding
buttons.
Sending Commands
When in range and a command has been sent, the remote pager backlight will illuminate, the remote will
beep and the appropriate icon will be displayed. For example, to send a remote start command from the
pager, hold the Key/Start button for 2.5 seconds. The backlight will illuminate and the remote will
beep and the text “Remote Start” will flash on the screen, confirming that the command has been sent
and the remote is in range. Once the vehicle has successfully remote started, the remote will receive a
confirmation indicating the vehicle is running.
Receiving Commands
The remote pager will receive commands indicating the status of the vehicle, confirmation of sending
commands and alarm notifications. For example, after pressing the lock button, the lock icon will update
confirming the vehicle has been successfully locked/armed. To see if your pager is in range, tap the
Key/Start button for a half second –if the pager backlight illuminates and beeps, the pager is in
range. The temperature in the vehicle will also display.
Active Lock/Arm and Unlock/Disarm
Tap the Lock button for a half second to lock/arm your vehicle. Tap the Unlock button
to unlock/disarm your vehicle. If equipped, this will also activate your starter kill and anti grind
feature. You will not be able to start your vehicle with the key until unlock/disarm.
IMPORTANT: If your alarm has been triggered (Siren is sounding, parking lights flashing, and/or
horn honking), you must wait until your 2 Way remote has been paged before disarming. The first
unlock button tap will shut off the alarm. The second will unlock/disarm the system.
Passive Lock/Arm
The system can be configured to passively lock and arm the vehicle. Put the system in
passive by tapping the Function button three times and then tapping the Unlock
button. “PASSIVE ARMING ON”will flash across the screen and Passive icon will illuminate
indicating that your vehicle is in passive lock and arming mode. Repeat the above procedure
to turn Passive Mode off.
While in passive mode, the system will lock and arm the alarm 30 seconds after the last door is closed.
As an indicator that the vehicle is going to passively lock and arm, the remote and siren will chirp once
and the parking lights will flash once at both 10 and 20 seconds prior to passively locking and arming. If
you want the system to passively arm and not passively lock, ask your local Firstech dealer to configure
this setting.
Automatic Transmission Remote Start Function
Hold the Key/Start button for 2.5 seconds to remote start an automatic transmission
vehicle. If you are in range and vehicle is ready to start, the remote will beep once and the
backlight will light up indicating that the remote start command has been successfully
transmitted.
If you are in range and the remote beeps three times, displays “START ERR –01 through 10”you have
a remote start error. Refer to the “remote start error diagnostic” on the last page of this manual for
details.

12
Upon remote start confirmation, the engine icon will have a rotating circle, highlight the vehicle on your
remote and the clock icon will begin to show the amount of run time remaining. The remote start run time
can be programmed for 3, 15, 25, or 45 minutes –
ask your local Firstech dealer to adjust your remote start run time.
IMPORTANT: Your vehicle’s key must be inserted into the ignition and turned to the “on” position prior
to driving your vehicle. If the foot brake is pressed prior to the key in the “on” position, the vehicle will
shut off.
Manual Transmission Remote Start Function (Reservation Mode)
In order to remote start a manual transmission vehicle, the system must first be set in Reservation Mode.
Reservation Mode must be set each and every time you want to remote start a manual transmission
vehicle. The purpose of Reservation Mode is to leave the transmission in neutral before exiting the
vehicle.
IMPORANT:
The FT-DAS must be installed and working properly.
The transmission must be left in the neutral position.
The vehicle’s windows must be rolled up.
The vehicle’s door pins must be in working order.
Do not install this remote start on a manual transmission vehicle that has a convertible or
removable top.
Do not set reservation mode or remote start with people in the vehicle.
Activating Reservation Mode
STEP 1: While the vehicle is running, place the transmission in neutral, set the emergency / parking
brake, and remove pressure from the foot brake.
STEP 2: Remove the key from the vehicle’s ignition. The vehicle’s engine should remain running even
after the key has been removed. If the vehicle does not remain running visit your local authorized
Firstech dealer for service.
STEP 3: Exit the vehicle and close the door. The vehicle’s doors will lock/arm and then engine will shut
down. If the vehicle’s engine does not shut off, your door trigger may be functioning improperly. Do not
use the remote start feature and take your vehicle to a local authorized Firstech dealer for service.
Once the vehicle shuts off your system is in reservation mode and the vehicle is ready to safely remote
start.
IMPORTANT: By default, the system will lock/arm the vehicle upon setting reservation mode. Take care
to not lock your keys inside the vehicle.
Cancelling Reservation Mode
Reservation mode will be cancelled for the following reasons;
The FT-DAS is not installed and/or configured correctly.
You did not activate the parking brake prior to turning off the ignition.
You pressed the foot brake after the key was removed from the ignition.
You released the parking brake after the key was removed from the ignition.
You entered valet mode, opened the vehicle’s door, hood, trunk or set off the alarm.

13
Reservation Mode Settings
Reservation mode settings can be programmed by your authorized Firstech dealer.
Option 1: Locks doors before Reservation Mode is set.
Option 2: Hold Key/Start button to initiate Reservation Mode.
Option 3: Reservation mode sets 10 seconds after the last door is closed, as opposed to immediately.
This option will allow you to access the vehicle’s rear doors, trunk or hatch prior to the system setting
reservation and passively locking/arming.
Option 4: Locks doors after Reservation Mode is set.
Trunk Release
Hold the Trunk button for 2.5 seconds to release the trunk or hatch. If you are in
range, the remote will beep twice, trunk icon illuminate and “Trunk Open”will scroll across
the screen indicating that the trunk release command has been successfully transmitted.
IMPORTANT: Trunk release is an optional vehicle feature that may require additional parts and labor.
Auxiliary Outputs/Window Roll-Down/Sliding Doors
Your system is equipped with two additional outputs that can be configured to control windows, open
power sliding doors, open a power sliding moon roof, or even turn on a rear defroster. These outputs can
be configured for different times. Your authorized Firstech dealer can set these outputs up accordingly.
Auxiliary controlled features will require additional parts and labor.
Tap the Function button for a half second followed by the Trunk button to trigger
auxiliary output 1. Tap the Function button for a half second followed by the Key/Start
button to trigger auxiliary output 2. The remote will beep once, parking lights flash, and “AUX 1
or AUX 2” will scroll across the screen, indicating that the auxiliary output(s) have been triggered.
By default, the system is in secure auxiliary mode, which requires you to tap the Key/Start button
for a half second prior to triggering auxiliary 1 or 2. To turn off secure auxiliary, ask your authorized
Firstech dealer to turn on Option 4-5 to setting II.
Temperature and Battery Query
When in range of your vehicle, the remote will display the vehicle’s temperature and battery
voltage upon tapping the Key/Start button . The temperature will be displayed after tapping
the Key/Start button for a half second. Tap the Key/Start button a second time within
four seconds to display the vehicle’s battery voltage.
If you tap the Key/Start button and you do not get any response from the remote, the remote pager
is most likely out of range to receive commands. If you tap Key/Start button and the remote reads
“FAIL” then your temperature sensor is not installed or may be malfunctioning.
Silent Arm/Disarm
Upon lock/arm and unlock/disarm, you can eliminate vehicle’s audible confirmation by muting
the siren. Normally, the siren will chirp once to indicate the system is locked/armed and twice to
indicate the system is unlocked/disarmed. To mute the siren tap the Lock and Unlock
buttons simultaneously for a half second. When the siren is muted, the siren icon will no longer be
displayed on the LCD. IMPORTANT: Your system must be programmed by your installer before this is
available. Even when the siren is muted, it will still go off in the event the alarm is triggered.

14
Remote Mute/Vibration Mode
To mute your remote, you must turn on vibration mode. There are two ways to enter vibration
mode.
METHOD 1: Hold the small, unmarked button between the Lock and Unlock buttons for 2.5
seconds. “Vibrate” will flash on the remote’s LCD. Your remote will also vibrate once, confirming that you
are now in vibration mode.
METHOD 2: STEP 1: Enter remote programming mode by holding the Trunk and Key/Start buttons
simultaneously for 2.5 seconds. The remote will beep and the text “Remote Menu” will flash on the
remote, indicating that you have successfully entered programming mode.

LCD reads “Vibrate,” tap the Lock button to turn this feature on. The LCD will display “On” or “Off.”
STEP 3: Repeat Step 1 to exit remote programming. The remote will beep indicating that you have
successfully exited programming. The vibration icon will remain illuminated on the LCD indicating the
remote is in remote mute/vibration mode.
Shock Sensor On/Off
Hold the Lock and Unlock buttons simultaneously for 2.5 seconds to turn the shock
sensor on and off. The remote will beep twice, “Shock Off” will scroll across the screen and the
shock sensor icon will illuminate to confirm the shock sensor is off. The remote will beep once,
“Shock On”will scroll across the screen and the shock sensor icon will disappear to confirm the shock
sensor is on. IMPORTANT: Turning off the shock sensor also turns off any optional sensors.
FT-DAS
STEP 1: Turn the ignition to the ‘on’ position.
STEP 2: 2 Way remotes-hold buttons 1 and 2 (Lock and Unlock) for 2.5 seconds. You will get two
parking light flashes. 1 Way remotes-hold Lock and Unlock for 2.5 seconds. You will get two parking light

the vehicle. You will get siren chirps 1-lowest through 10-highest. This sets the impact sensitivity of
Instant Trigger Zone 2.
STEP 4: Once you get two parking light flashes, you are ready to test your DAS.
FT-Shock
Adjusting the shock sensor sensitivity is done at the actual sensor, which is generally mounted
somewhere under the vehicle’s dashboard. The higher the number on the dial means greater sensitivity
to impact. The recommended dial setting for most vehicles is somewhere between 2 & 4. If you are
testing your sensor, please note that the shock sensor does not recognize impact for 30 seconds after
the system has been armed.
