Our verdict

The 1WG17R-FM is a 1-way Compustar remote for systems with the ANT-1WFMX or ANT-2WFMX antenna. Before you order, check the FCC ID on the back of your old remote: it should read VA5REN500-1WFX. It’s 1-way: it sends the command but doesn’t confirm it, which is fine as a spare or for a second driver.

Compatibility

Will it work with your system?

A replacement remote has to match the antenna on your vehicle, not just the brand. The quickest check is the FCC ID on the back of your old remote: if it reads VA5REN500-1WFX, it’s this remote.

Not sure it fits? Text us a photo of the label on your control module (usually under the driver’s side of the dash) and the back of your old remote, and we’ll confirm it before you order.

If the antenna on your windshield is one of these, this remote pairs with it.

Battery

Remote stopped working? Try a fresh battery first.

A new remote is paired to your control module, which takes a few minutes and no tools. The steps for your remote are on our Compustar remote support page, or we can pair it for you at our Markham shop.

The details

A replacement 1-way remote for compatible Compustar systems. If your original is lost, damaged or no longer working, this is the same transmitter — it pairs to the system already fitted to your vehicle, so nothing else needs to change.

Check it's the right one

The FCC ID is printed on the back of your old fob or inside the battery compartment. If it reads VA5REN500-1WFX, this is your remote. It pairs with the ANT-1WFMX and ANT-2WFMX antenna modules.

Programming

This fob needs pairing to your system before it will work. Most people manage it themselves using the guide linked on this page. If you'd rather not, bring the vehicle to our Markham shop and we'll do it.

Batteries

Takes CR2025 x 2. Try a fresh set in your old fob first — a flat battery and a dead fob behave identically, and batteries cost a fraction of this.

Free shipping on orders over $200.

Testimonials

  • Exceptionally Helpful

    They were exceptionally helpful despite me going down the DIY route having never installed a remote starter before. There was no T harness kit available for my vehicle which led to a few questions which they thankfully were very helpful with. Mission remote start was successful and I'm super pleased.

  • 10 out of 10

    I would recommend Lockdown security 10 out of 10 times. Leo and his team were professional, fast acting and provided excellent service. I am very happy with my remote starter.

  • Responsive, Easy to Use

    Have been using Lockdown Security for years. Just ordered the fifth remote starter from them and installed myself. Their website is easy to use and intuitive. They are responsive and more than willing to answer questions for the DIY customers. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking to purchase a remote starter.

Common questions

Will it work with my remote starter?

Check the label on your control module, usually under the driver’s side of the dash, against the list under Will it work with your system?. Not sure which module you have? Text us a photo of the label.

Will a replacement remote work with my antenna?

Only if it’s made for that antenna. The quickest check is the FCC ID on the back of your old remote: match it to the one on this page, where the antenna it pairs with is listed too.

A remote or a remote kit?

A single remote is a spare or a replacement for one you have. A kit has its own antenna, so it’s the way to upgrade, say from 1-way to 2-way, or to replace a remote that isn’t made anymore. See the remote kits.

My remote stopped working. Do I need a new one?

Try a fresh battery first: key fob batteries. If it still doesn’t work, text us the FCC ID on the back of the remote.

Can you pair it for me?

Yes, at our Markham shop. Adding a remote kit during a remote starter install? We do it at the same time, with our lifetime installation warranty. Book an install.

Do you ship across Canada?

Yes. Shipping is free on orders over $200, and $10 under that.

Not sure it fits?

Text us the FCC ID on your remote, or a photo of your control module’s label, and we’ll confirm the right part before you order.
