I bought the signature/turbo not to save gas but make sure I have permanent wrinkles as I age from smiling. I average 14-21mpg because a majority of my trips are locally (2 kids, 1 school, 4 sports and a half dozen hobbies between them). Having said that I just got 28mpg on a 98 mile trip...

I’ve had zero issues with my R7 in my cx-5. Never made any menu changes either. I am on FW 1.37.

FYI, R4 and R7 have identical BSM capabilities. Here’s a great rdforum thread comparing the two units; https://www.rdforum.org/threads/115763/

I’m still using my R7 and works great. No regrets at all.

Could also do what I did to my safe at home. Wired in some 12v led strip/tape lights and a magnetic switch. Open the safe light turns on, close the door… You get it. Should be least enough to tap into a nearby 12v power and ground, or run to inside fuse panel.

Where were you when I learned how to install my remote starters from YouTube University?

I see the confusion (at least MY confusion). @Bronco Boy has a Gen 1 (I keep forgetting to turn my phone sideways to see sigs). My apologies for not doing that! Keyed ignitions use the chip in the key in order to completely turn over and start the car. Fortin and compustar basically act as...

But isn’t that true with any remote starter? You still need to the OEM key to go.

Huh? I can use my OEM key fob (lock-unlock-lock) and I also use drone mobile with my fortin to start the car. The remote start works exactly the same using other method. The car remains running (remains running wether I use OEM for or DM, doesn't matter) when I open the door, press the...

I’ll also offer a positive perspective. I have installed the EVO-one my my cx-5 as well as my wife’s CX-9 with zero issues.

Compustart would have the same issues no?

Same. And also because of said video :)

Which ones did you go with? Are those slip ons?

I bring mine back inside and do any updates there. You really won’t have any reason to remove it again once it’s set up initially.

Try option 38.5 in the remote starter menu.

Theoretically. But, there’s really not a lot that can go wrong. It’s really easy to set up the features firmware and decrypt. If something doesn’t seem right, review your settings, make changes and save them back to the device.

I wired them into my 2019 cx-5 just because I could. In hindsight, no reason at to do it. It’s actually only used as a diagnostics purpose for which the lights can flash a certain number of times to generate a code for you to troubleshoot. I did not wire them into my wife’s 2018 cx-9 and...

I’m using these and very pleased with them. Simple install and work great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KC3CJ82/

Looks like there was adhesive or some sort of film on there and removed.

You can’t replace them. They are integrated into the circuitry and are not standard bulbs. Just have a look in your owner’s manual (either online or in the glove compartment): “The exterior lights have either LEDs or normal bulbs. LED type Headlights/Daytime running lights Daytime running...
