Overview

Not a standalone remote starter, this DroneMobile module adds smartphone control to a Compustar remote start or security system already in the car. It communicates over LTE and tracks the vehicle with a built-in GPS antenna.

Owners of a Compustar system gain control from anywhere with cell coverage, plus GPS tracking, without replacing their existing hardware. It has no backup battery, needs professional installation, and some vehicles need extra parts sold separately.

Who it's for

Made for drivers who already have a Compustar remote start or alarm and want to reach the car from anywhere. Without that control module, or with plans for a self-install, it will not work.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Phone and smartwatch control
  • Range limited only by cell coverage
  • GPS tracking built in
  • Adds to existing Compustar hardware
Cons
  • Needs a Compustar control module
  • No built-in backup battery
  • Professional installation required
  • No wiring diagrams or manual included

Performance notes

Range depends on cellular coverage, since commands travel over LTE with a fallback network instead of a radio fob. Tracking accuracy comes from the built-in GPS antenna, and response time depends on network conditions where the car is parked.
