Remote Starter Antennas

Replacement antennas for Compustar, Fortin and iDatastart remote starters, plus the cables that connect them. The antenna is the small module at the top of your windshield. If your remote's range has dropped off, or every remote stopped at once, it's as likely to be the antenna as the fob.

Your key fobs keep working with a replacement antenna, as long as you fit the same part.

How to find the right antenna

  1. Find the part numberIt's printed on the antenna case, on the small module stuck to the top of your windshield.
  2. Match one-way or two-wayA two-way fob needs a two-way antenna. They aren't interchangeable.
  3. Check for a cableCompustar antennas come without one. Count the pins at each end: 4-to-4, 4-to-6 or 6-to-6.

Before you order

If only one remote stopped working, the fob is the likelier culprit. If your fob isn't made any more, a kit replaces the remotes and antenna together.

Know before you buy

Good to know

One-way or two-way?

A two-way antenna reports back to the remote, so the fob can confirm the vehicle actually started. A one-way antenna only receives. They aren't interchangeable: a two-way fob needs a two-way antenna, and fitting the wrong one costs you the confirmation you paid for.

Watch out

Many antennas don't include a cable

Every Compustar antenna is sold on its own, with no cable. The two iDatastart antennas and both Fortin kits include one. Count the pins on your existing cable at each end before ordering: 4-to-4, 4-to-6 or 6-to-6.

Common questions

Will my key fobs still work if I replace the antenna?

Yes, provided you fit the same one. The fob pairs to the system, not to the antenna, so replacing a failed antenna doesn't affect your remotes. Each antenna page lists exactly which fobs work with it.

How do I know which antenna I have?

The part number is on the case, on the module at the top of your windshield. If you can't get to it, look up your key fob instead: its page lists the compatible antennas.

Does the antenna come with a cable?

Usually not. Every Compustar antenna is sold without one; the iDatastart and Fortin kits include theirs. Check before ordering.

Can I fit it myself?

It's not difficult, but it means removing the A-pillar trim to route the cable. Position matters more than people expect: too close to the metal roof line or behind metallic tint and you lose range. We fit these in Markham if you'd rather not.

My antenna is discontinued. Now what?

It depends on the system. Sometimes a different antenna and a matching fob will work; sometimes it's a controller decision. Call us with the part number and we'll tell you honestly.

Need help with an antenna?

Send us the part number on your antenna, or a photo of it, and we'll tell you exactly what you need.
