Our verdict

The CM-X and a BLADE-AL bypass, wired in rather than plugged in. It’s on 223 of our vehicle pages and our pick on 14 of them, from the 2004–2006 Dodge Durango and RAM to the 2023–2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Where there’s a Compustar T-harness kit for your vehicle, that kit is the easier install; where there isn’t, this is the Compustar to get. Tell us your year, make and model when you order and we flash the BLADE-AL before it ships.

The details

The Compustar CM-X remote starter with the iDatalink BLADE-AL bypass, for vehicles without a Compustar T-harness kit: it’s wired in rather than plugged in.

In the box

  • Compustar CM-X (FT-CMX-HC): the remote start and security controller.
  • iDatalink BLADE-AL: the immobilizer bypass and data connection, flashed for your vehicle before it ships. Tell us your year, make and model at checkout.

Vehicles it fits

We list it for over 200 models across 30 makes, from Acura, Audi and Buick to Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo, with Hyundai, Subaru, Kia and Ford among the most common.

Check your exact vehicle in the list near the top of this page: it’s every vehicle we list this kit for, with our pick for each. Not listed? Search by vehicle, or text us your year, make and model.

Starting it

On many vehicles, three presses of lock on your factory remote start it, so a remote is optional. For more range, or a 2-way remote that confirms the start, add a Compustar remote kit that lists the CM-X. To start it from your phone, add the DRONE X2-LTE (it needs a DroneMobile plan).

Make it a car alarm

Add the ALARMIT kit and the CM-X becomes a full alarm: a DAS-II shock sensor, siren, LED and starter kill, so the engine can’t crank while it’s armed.

Installing it

We install it at our Markham shop or on-site in the GTA, with our lifetime installation warranty. Book an install. Doing it yourself? A wired-in remote starter takes more connections than a T-harness kit, so check the install guide for your vehicle first, and text us your year, make and model with any questions.

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 fit my vehicle?

Check the list near the top of this page: every vehicle we list this kit for, with our pick for each. Not listed? Search by vehicle, or text us your year, make and model.

What’s in the box?

The Compustar CM-X controller and the bypass for your vehicle. What’s in the kit shows each part and what it does.

Why isn’t there a T-harness?

These vehicles don’t have a Compustar T-harness kit, so the CM-X is wired in. If your vehicle has one, the T-harness kit is quicker to install: search by vehicle to see it.

Can my factory remote start it?

On many vehicles, yes: press lock three times. Not every vehicle supports it. For more range, or a remote that confirms the start, add a Compustar remote kit that lists the CM-X.

Does it need programming?

Yes, the bypass is programmed for your vehicle (the 556UXL uses one of your keys instead). Tell us your year, make and model at checkout and we do it before it ships.

Do you install it?

Yes, at our Markham shop or on-site in the GTA, 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 your year, make and model and we’ll confirm the right remote starter before you order.
