Remote Reference

P1BAMR (1-Way 1 Button Remote)

Applicable to the following models;

- P1BAM-S (remote start only)

Quick Reference

Valet Mode

When servicing or loaning your vehicle to others, the CompuStar Pro 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 CompuStar will still lock and unlock power lock systems.

The system can be put into valet one of two ways;

1. You can put the system into valet by turning the ignition key “on” and then “off” five

times within 7 seconds. The parking lights will flash once to confirm the system is in

valet mode. Shortly after the first flash, the parking lights will flash twice.

2. (Optional Feature) If your system is set up for a secure valet option, you will not be able to put the

system into valet until the proper code has been entered with the secure valet switch.

Remote Maintenance – Battery Replacement

The only regular maintenance this system requires is remote control battery replacement.

No programming is required when replacing the battery.

One-Way Remote: Pro 1BAMR

First, remove the small Phillips screw located on the back of the remote. Once the screw has been

removed, gently pull the remote apart being careful to not touch the circuit board. The P1BAMR requires

two CR2016 batteries. These specialty batteries can be purchased from your local CompuStar dealer or

an electronics store.

General System Functions

The remote transmitter functions have been predetermined and programmed from the factory. The single

button configuration allows for keyless entry and/or remote start functionality. Although other CompuStar

PRO systems have numerous button functions and capabilities, please keep in mind that your system

has the option for future upgradeability to a 2-way system.

Sending Commands

When in range, and the button has been pressed, the remote bright blue LED will illuminate and vehicle’s

parking lights will flash. For example, to send a remote start command from the P1BAMR, hold down the

single button for 3.5 seconds. The remote bright blue LED will come on solid and then flash.

Active Lock/Arm and Unlock/Disarm

Tap the single button for 1 second to lock/arm and unlock/disarm. The remote bright blue LED

will flash four times indicating the signal has been sent to the vehicle. This feature is optional

and may require additional programming and/or installation. Please check with your dealer for details.

Automatic Transmission Remote Start Function

Hold the single button for 3.5 seconds to remote start an automatic transmission vehicle. If you are in

range and if the vehicle is ready to remote start, the vehicle parking lights will flash once.

If you are in range, the parking lights on the vehicle will flash three times followed by a certain number

after that, there is a remote start error. Refer to the “remote start error diagnostic” on the last page of this

manual for details.

Upon receiving confirmation that your vehicle is running, the parking lights will light solid. The remote-

start run-time can be programmed for 3, 15, 25, or 45 minutes - ask your local CompuStar dealer to

adjust Option 2-7 if you would like a run-time other than 15 minutes (default).

IMPORTANT: The 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 depressed prior to the key being 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 transmission must be left in the neutral position.

The vehicles windows must be rolled up.

The vehicles 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

CompuStar dealer for service.

STEP 3: Exit the vehicle and close the door. The vehicle’s engine should shut off within upon closing the

last door. 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 CompuStar dealer for

service.

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;

•

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 vehicles door, hood, or trunk.

Reservation Mode Settings

Reservation mode settings can be programmed with Option 1-6. It is recommended that reservation

mode settings are programmed by your local authorized CompuStar dealer.

Default 1: Locks doors when reservation mode is set.

Option 2: Does not lock doors when reservation mode is set.

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 vehicles rear doors, trunk or hatch prior to the system setting

reservation and passively locking/arming.

Anti Grind/Starter Kill

The optional anti-grind/starter kill feature prevents you from accidentally grinding your vehicle’s starter

motor when taking over with the key. This feature requires additional installation and programming. Also

your dealer can program a basic security feature that prevents your vehicle from starting when it is

locked/armed. Please see your dealer for more details.

Secure Valet Switch

The optional Secure Valet Switch prevents the remote start from being put into valet mode through

cycling the ignition on/off five times. The Secure Valet Switch is more secure than traditional toggle /

valet switches because it requires a two digit code. Follow the below procedures to program your secure

valet pass code:

STEP 1: Turn on Option 3-10-III. (Dealer programmed option)

STEP 2: Turn ignition key to the “on” position.

STEP 3: Hold down the valet switch for 1.5 seconds. The LED on the valet switch will begin to flash

rapidly with successful completion of this step.

STEP 4: Enter the first digit of the desired two-digit pass code by depressing the switch the number of

times that coordinates with the desired first number. For example, to enter 3, depress the switch 3 times,

then wait.

STEP 5: The LED will confirm the first number by flashing BLUE slowly. Once the LED begins to flash

rapidly, enter your second number by repeating step 4.

STEP 6: Turn the ignition off - the Secure Valet Switch is now programmed. Follow steps 3 – 5 to enter

your Secure Valet code.

Remote Coding / Programming Routine(s)

IMPORTANT: Every CompuStar Pro remote must be coded to the system prior to performing any

operations. All remotes must be coded at the same time.

Programming P1BAMR

STEP 1: Activate Valet/Programming mode by manually turning the ignition key on and off (between the

Acc & On positions) five times within 7 seconds. The vehicle’s parking lights will flash once with the

successful completion of this step.

STEP 2: Within a 3 second period after cycling the ignition for the 5^thtime, pressing the single button

once for 0.5 seconds. The parking lights will flash once to confirm the transmitter has been coded.

Exiting Programming: Programming is a timed sequence. The parking

lights will flash twice signaling the end of programming mode.

Programming Multiple Remotes: After the confirmation flash given in

step 2, code additional remotes by pressing the single button on

remote. The parking lights will flash once confirming each additional

remote. All systems can recognize up to three remotes.

Remote Start Error Diagnostic

If the remote start fails to start the vehicle, the parking lights will flash three times immediately. Following

those three flashes the parking lights will flash again corresponding to the error table.
