A co worker bought a compustar remote starter/ alarm and I told him I'd install it for him on his 2000 F250. The only problem is it dosen't have an installation manual, just users guides and I can't seem to find one the instalation manual. Every place locally wants $350 to install it for him which he doesn't want to and can't afford to pay, and I don't blame him since me and him can do it for next to nothing.

I did a google search and came up with nothing. Does anyone know where to get the manual or does anyone possible have one that he can buy off of you? If we can't find one I'll tell him to return the starter and buy one that does come with a manual, like a viper. Thank you for any help

Its a model number 2w900fmr-3a if that helps

Some background on me and remote starters
I'm an ase certified mechanic in electrical, brakes, and ac. I've installed several remote starters on my cars and family and friends cars and everyones been happy with them and have never had any issues

 

1st I'm guessing this remote starter is used, or it's a Wal-Mart special "Chinese" edition. The part # you gave is not in their system. $350 is pretty steep, I agree. I've never paid over $100 for an install. $75, I think, but I don't remember. The wife has a 2-way Viper, and I only paid $200-something for it, installed.

I'd try to get the installation instructions from the previous owner or Wal-Mart, as I said. Can't be much different than the rest, a few relays, some wire, a switch, etc.

Its brand new, he got it from overstock.com. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden...9/product.html

Somehow I messed up the model number, its actually 2w900fm-as. Their website only gives you user guides which basically explain how the remote works and how to program it and that's it. To get the installation manual from them you need to be an authorized dealer and have a password.

Wait, I did find a pin out of the brain. Its pretty basic but I think I can use it along with previous remote start know how to get the starter working, but it isn't much help on installing the alarm

 

OK, option "C", obsolete. From the link you posted:
