compustar issue! Help!
 
So I had a compustar car alarm starter install a couple of days ago.

compustar pro p2w9000fmr

They were not able to hook the device up to my door triggers because they said compustar requires a 12v signal and bmw's door trigger only gives off a 10.5 v signal.

The result of this is that the lcd remote does not tell me when my doors are open (but will lock and unlock ofcourse).

Also, if someone somehow opened my car door the alarm would not go off until they sat in the car and the shock sensor went off.

Has anyone heard of this issue?
A solution?

Thanks!
Fabian

Pretty simple solution is a relay that uses the 10.5v door switch to close a 12v circuit to the CompuStar.

Installers may have been lazy or too busy to want to deal with it that day. Should have been an easy workaround for them.

Here is a basic version of what I'm talking about: Amazon.com: 12 VDC Automotive Relay SPDT 30/40A: Electronics

Thanks! I hope they agree and install this for me.
