I have a 2014 Toyota RAV4 LE Standard Key.
Whenever I add to cart, the T Harness and Tilet Switch aren't added to the cart automatically like for the compustar. How do I figure out which one I need?
in your cart scroll down until you see
"Special Offers
We found offers based on items in your cart all"right before !"Order Summary" click on that to show the t harness and tilt switch free. add each to your car.
then hit checkout

Or use a computer instead of a phone. It might show up there.

Compustar is more well known. I believe both companies are part of Firstech but don't quote me.

If you remember a few years ago nobody knew who Compustar was. Everyone was getting the VIPER systems.

It was a no brainier for me . For an extra $50 you get double the range and an extra 2 way remote.

BTW. I have the compustar on my other car for a few years now and it works fine.

It's up to you to decide what your needs are.

A tilt switch is something they put under your hood so the car can't remote start with the hood open.

Are you on a phone ? A computer is better . Did you put in what car you have? The smart phone is called Drone and you have to pay a monthly fee for it

Nice find. Interesting read.

I thought I seen that posted on another thread.

If you decide to get it make sure you give the deal a thumbs up so it will be shown to more people.

The more likes the better chance of more people seeing the deal.

correction: includes install, but scheduling for install is unavailable right now, weird.

Doesn't mention anything about install
Showing up as 189 for me.
You oftentimes need to call the local store to get their mobile install bay.

Yea. Even better to stop by the auto bay and talk to the auto tech installers. They might have a cancellation. This time of the year if you're in the cold areas then it can be a month or two wait for an appointment.

Yup.

I bought this back in September when it was 189.99, called to make the appointment right away, and the earliest opening they had was November 20th.

How do you like it?
Is it better than the compustar?

I just gave away my Dec17 appointment when I cancelled my compustar order to get the idatastart deal.

Can't get a hold of anyone yet. I will have to stop by there to get an appointment.

I'm sure it won't be for at least a month unless someone cancels their install.

Anyway , the idatastart is a better deal for me. I like having 2 2-way remotes in case one breaks or gets lost. The extra range also is a good thing to have. Especially if you're somewhere with a lot of walls.

According to the installer, Compustar and iDatastart are basically the same company.

Whether that's true or not, I don't know, but this guy has been doing installs for 10+ years. He installed stuff in my car back in 2010, so I know he knows his stuff.

That said, the iDatastart has longer range than the Compustart system. It also has a pit stop mode, which I'm not sure the Compustart has or not.

Here's the tilt switch:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/voxx...Id=7944549

Easiest way to find the T harness is to just google idatastart t harness and your car make.

Solid deal, In for 1. No install scheduling though, says I have to call.
