From everything I've read online Compustar doesn't make window modules, but that could be wrong.

I think the install on this alarm was jacked up. It is a 07 but the car was preowned and came with the alarm installed. Last night I was able access the programming menu and tried to change some features but nothing would change. There is no chirp, only the lights flash. The horn honks if the alarm goes off but not when you set off the panic alarm :confused : I tried to set the doors to lock after it remote starts but couldn't change that setting. I'm surprised the thing even starts remotely!

I called the only local Compustar dealer and they want $200 to look at it and reprogram the alarm if necessary. I could almost get an entire new alarm installed for that! Not really but it still seems a little pricey to me. I may call some other places to see what they can do...

Okay, say I want to just install 2 universal window roll up/down modules and add them to my compustar, is this difficult to do??

^ Cool, thanks for finding that!

My car has rain-sensing window wipers so maybe I could integrate the existing sensor? I'd probably just buy the other one to avoid any issues. I'll have to check if it is a universal kit that can be used with my Compustar alarm...

Security Rain Sensors

Does such a device exist? I first wondered if I could add an automatic window roll up to my alarm's accessory so I could roll them up from a distance by hitting the accessory button. Then I thought if a sensor was used it could roll them up automatically when it detects rain. I did a few google searches and couldn't find anything. Does anyone know if they exist and if so where to find them?
