Compustar Alarm

are you quoting yourself? If you have 2 starter wires, I just treat them as 1 wire. Cut both, put key side of both together and the car side of both together. As for the orange and orange/white, your car arms and disarms the factory alarm with lock and unlock. You may have to connect the orange/white to the unlock wire to disarm the factory alarm before the remote start sequence, and then take the orange to the lock wire. What will happen then is, when you remote start the system, it will pulse the orange/white to disarm factory alarm, which will unlock the doors, start the car, then pulse the orange to lock the doors.

it appears that we do not have an edit function. I made a mistake on the quote function. in result it did not come out the way I want it.

since I do not have an OEM alarm and presently have an aftermarket basic alarm. can I ignore these wires? thanks.

you have an aftermarket alarm AND a compustar?

If you do not have a factory alarm, you do not use the 2 orange wires.

sorry, I did not make myself clear. I currently have a Clifford basic alarm and would like to replace it with Compustar 2wfm.

for the sake of knowledge for me, I would like to know why connecting 2 different wires together in to one starter wire since nissan maxima has 2 different starter wires. will it cause problems? are those 2 wires meant to be separate?

thanks.

the second starter wire is for more fuel delivery when cold. It does not hurt anything to hook them together. If you are worried about it, make 2 relays to control the starter wires to keep them separated, but function at the same time. Just do away with the prewired relay on the starter wire. It functions as a starter disable when armed.

thanks for clearing things up.

While I was trying to remove the old basic alarm, I see the 2nd starter wire was not cut and the accessory wire was not tapped for the old Clifford alarm. Do you know why? What will or will not happen if I do you same?

another question, how do you pop off the 4 tabs after removing the golden bolt? I need to get to the tach wire?

The second starter wire only feeds extra fuel. But since most remote starts only have 1 starter output, I join both starter wires together. You could make 2 relays and have the starter output from the RS control both relays and turn them into starter signals. As far as the tach, just cut the tape and test for it or go out under the hood to a fuel injector.
