EX-T remote car starter to replace with Compustar Pro-T11

[sunny786]

I am unable to take the benifit of my factory remote car starter due to weak remote signal. My work place is very far from my car parking so i'm thinking to install Compustar Pro-T11 remote starter. Is it possible to install over the factory remort starter? Or any other suggestion to extend the range of existing factory remote.

Extend by how much extra?

MY dealer told me that if you put the remote starter against your chin or head (it's got to be touching), your head amplifies the signal and you can start your car from a farther distance. I have no idea if it's true but he says they have tested it out.

It is true. Which is why I asked how far.
That was going to be my suggestion.

My work car parking is approximately 500-600ft far and there is a one building between.

May be an option. I think it gets longer range.

The holding it up to your skull trick likely won't reach the range you're hoping.
I"ve seen demontractions but it was more like adding a few yards, not dozens.

Its a same thing if i want to have that remote in that link you have mentioned same as installing Compustar remote but Conpustar would be far better than Honda remote. I just called the Honda service and they said to install that remote you have mentioned they have to install the whole starter package. Parts and services are $700+.

If your main concern is range why not go all in with vipers app?

It's pretty similar to what Hyundai offers with an app for lock/unlock/start and also GPS location monitoring.
Suck part is annual fee.

It works only with Viper kits but no other kind of starter kits.

Yep, that's true, I've seen video of it on youtube, and tried it out myself

The video explain's it, I believe your body is acting as an antenna booster basically

Exactly IIRC the water in your head/body amplifies the signal, so if you were to have a container of water and put the remote up to the container, the same effect will happen. However carrying a bucket of water around might get tiresome compared to your head
