I have a 09 also. The PO had a CompuSTAR installed. I have used the CompuSTAR on a previous van that I had and they work pretty good. My only complaint would be that with the remote that I've had. When I have it in my pocket it's sometimes starts,disarms,unlocks,or changes features by having multiple buttons pushed.
No, you still use the factory key. You just have an additional remote fob. You use it to lock,unlock,remote start the van.
Would be great if you can do a guide of some sort. I've always wanted to install my compustar that I've had for a long time. I just hate having to test wires for continuity and waste time poking around. I’m also not sure what is the “best” way to bypass the OEM immobilizer yet still retain some sort of immobilizer function (if that possible today?). Would be awesome if you can give a guide that can narrow down where the wires are. Worst case, compustar alarm for sale (dated model but has remote start + super range (but not two way remote) + opt trigger +full wiring instructions).Here's my setup for this weekend:
AX-ONE-01 (same as Fortin EVO-ONE)
AX-RF2 (same Fortin FTX44)
I bought the Flash-Link module also since I bought a system for my girlfriend's Focus but you can also program it through the valet switch it appears
Assuming all goes well I'll try to write up a better guide
