Introduction
The SKSNG907 & SKSNG907RV SmartKey Starter® remote start and alarm module is compatible with Compustar alarms for full aftermarket alarm integration.
Note: if adding CM7000, the OEM key fob will no longer remote start the vehicle and an external remote and/or Drone must be added for remote start. OEM fob will still arm and disarm the alarm.
Compatible Compustar systems:
- CM7000
- CM7200 (in alarm / RS mode)
Alarm connections:
- RS232 (with RX and TX wires opposite on each end)
- Power and ground (from low current harness) - connected to SKSNG907 / SKSNG907RV T-harness
- Ignition (to fuse box)
- Siren
- Hood pin
- Alarm accessories (DAS sensor, Drone, RF remotes, RPS touch, sensors, etc
Alarm programming:
Note: if the alarm was purchased from Mid City Engineering, it will already be programmed to work with the SmartKey Starter®
- Option 2-10 must be set to #4 (advanced tachless / no connection).
- Run time- when remote start is activated through the alarm (RF remotes, Drone, etc), the run time set on the Compustar alarm will determine how long the van runs unless the SmartKey Starter® timer is set for less time than the Compustar module. The default run time setting for the SKSNG907 & SKSNG907RV is 1 hour. SKS run time can be changed using the instrument cluster menu. Instructions for menu operation here
Compustar alarms purchased from Mid City Engineering will be programmed for 45 minute run time.
If remote start is activated through the OEM key fob or the analog trigger, the run time will be determined by the value set on the SmartKey Starter®
Note: if adding an external alarm, Compustar Drone / external remotes should be used for remote start activation. The OEM key fob remote start activation when using an external alarm is not supported at this time. The OEM remote will arm and disarm the alarm.
