Thanks for watching, head unit reviews are something we love doing, it's exciting even for us to see the new models come out. If you are looking for an inexpensive option, and considering the Nakamichi, have a look at the Blaupunkt ORLANDO750 (we have a video on it), it has a volume knob and touchscreen response is great.

1995 make and model, what make and model vehicle is it?

The question of quality, not always quantity comes up. Yes for the money there are options out there with WAY more functionality, but will those options work without quirks, or even work at all after 1 year, is the question. What you get from name brand receivers, is no quirks, and reliability for years.

We agree, this can cause issues if the vendor is a single brand only vendor, this is one of the reasons we carry multiple brands, so that our installers can be familiar with as many as possible.

Technically, this is possible using AUX outputs, *but* you (the user) would need to know which AUX output is turning on or off which sensor. This is NOT a native feature though, where there are actual indications given as to which sensor is turned on or off, it would be a custom set up done using the Compustar AUX outputs, of which there can be up to 8 aux outs available (default system availability being Aux 1 and Aux 2)

Viper / DIrected (specifically their parent company VOXX) is planning a revamp of the entire Viper line, which I believe will be including new key fobs. No idea on time frame for this though, looks to be 4th quarter of 2024 at the earliest, and will more than likely be early 2025

You can configure either brand (Compustar or Viper) to passively arm, and also passively arm + lock (riskier to set as you could lock yourself out), thereby creating an auto arming setup. As for Viper, yes, if you buy one of the analogue systems, you must buy the version that comes with the 2-way LCD, they are not upgradeable per se (like Compustar can be). Now, for DS4 from Directed/Viper, these can be "upgraded" using a 2-way key fob kit, but the analogue systems (as I show in he video) require you to buy them equipped, with the key fob of your choice (not easily upgradeable). Viper 3105V is NOT compatible with SmartStart (Directed's smartphone system).

It can definitely get confusing!

Great to hear!

Your alarm is not active when driving so the tilt sensor as well as the other sensors are obsolete

​@@motorman1710 right of course, my bad! Have been so paranoid about 4Runner theft I wasn't thinking straight 😂.

I have compustar and igla on my TRX and I've been very pleased with the set-up

The digital tilt sensors, set themselves up to whatever angle there are at when the system arms, meaning if the vehicle is on an incline or decline when parked and armed, the sensor will detect variances (tilt change) from whatever angle they were armed at. As the other commenters mentioned, while driving the sensors will not be active.

Thanks for the great feedback. Yes we offer a solution for car jacking, and that's exactly what it is, a remote shit off switch. It is called the Amber Connect AC410 and can be found here: lockdownsecuritycanada.ca/products/installed-bundle-amber-ac410-gps-tracking-and-anti-hijack-system-with-1-year-service-plan-included-copy

@@LockdownSecurity thanks Jeff. This is something I will really consider when I get a Lexus 🔥😍

The KEETEC Rider can be adapted to work on any vehicle, but out of the box it is designed to be used on push to start vehicles as, the Rider device itself is a low current relay essentially, and push to start vehicle circuits, specifically the push to start button, are low current. Key start vehicles, like yours, generally (majority) will have high current circuits related to starting of the vehicle. That doesn't mean the Rider will not work on a key start vehicle, it just means more labour and adaptation to work. Key start vehicles, specifically those with immobilizer keys are more secure than push to start vehicles, it's the physical key that makes the difference, along with immobilizer chip, today's thieves are not targetting these, they are simply too much work to steal (compared to push to start vehicles).

OBD port blocking on a key start vehicle, not of huge value, as they aren't stealing key start vehicles for the most part, and due to this, not exploiting the OBD port to program a fake push to start fob. CAN-BUS attack is also not of concern, as they are not doing this to key start vehicles either. Best bet for a key start vehicle, a solid alarm or alarm with remote start, from a name brand like Compustar or Viper. The choice between alarm only or alarm + remote start comes down to your need for convenience of remote start, OR does the vehicle have remote start. I will make a UA-cam video on this. The choice between Compustar or Viper, and why to choose one of these two brands, is a personal one (which brand do you prefer) BUT there are technical reasons as well. I will make a UA-cam video on this.

Yes it can be used in conjunction with other Anti-Theft systems, and in fact this is what we suggest. Layered protection is best when combatting the car theft issue.

@@LockdownSecurity 100%. Example would be if the third party immobilizer doesn’t have a car jacking mode. The immobilizer being one which already requires a pin to enable the owner to drive the car. This is exactly what I tell my clients in the cyber security field. Having a layered approach. Defense in depth.

@@CybersecProf Exactly, ALL the pin-code based anti theft solutions, whether from Author Alarm IGLA, Autowatch GHOSTII, Starline E9, their anti hi-jack features are from bad to great (IGLA is the worst, E9 is the best). The best way to defend against car jacking though, is using a standalone measure, like the Amber Connect GPS

@@LockdownSecurity I’ll definitely be giving you guys a shout.

Yes they are. MyCar2 works with these as well.

Through the firewall, driver side there is a grommet to run the cable through

You can turn off the button beep within the settings menu of the radio

@@LockdownSecurity thank you! Finally found it. It's not in sound settings, it's in general lol

Believe the anti glare coating on the screen makes this model (and the XAV-AX4000) slightly dimmer than most radios. Have you tried adjusting screen brightness or, disconnecting the illumination input to the radio

Yes it will, but probably will not look so good. It is designed as a single din chassis, but for mounting in double DIn opening

@@LockdownSecurity thank you!

Yes both have starter kill/ignition kill outputs, and also both include the FT-ELOCK relay for this purpose.

The CNOS-740HD, as far as I am aware ,can only be used as a front cam on the 10.1" receivers, like DMX1037, DMX1057XR, and DNR1007XR, DNR1008XR. On the DMX958XR, he CMOS-740HD can be used as a rear camera only.

@@LockdownSecurity I got the LP version which is for the back. (License plate)

We are in Markham Ontario, Canada.

If they find the service button, yes they could follow the cable back to the device. This is why the service button must be hidden.

Yes both systems have a data input for DRONE, or MYCAR2 (both systems will work with either system)

Yes you can take it back to your installer and have the OEM keyfob control turned off.

​@@LockdownSecurity is there anyway for a non-installer to access these configuration options? Trying to find a way to access settings that aren't available via drone mobile (such as this one for the OEM keyfob, among others) but have no idea how to do so and compustar just says to take it to an installer which seems cumbersome and expensive when all I want to do is check/change some settings for the thing I bought and own.

Will try not to

Yes we have a number of options, such as the Starline E9 or Autowatch GHOST II. Visit our website at www.lockdownsecurity.ca for more info, or call us at 18668244118

Involved much squinting lol

@@LockdownSecurity I can imagine.

Do you have the Sat radio tuner installed? If you do you select Sat radio as a source, and there will be a menu selection where you can view the tuner ID number.

Yes there are models that do not include the CD/DVD mechanism (most are like this now). Streaming from the phone though (video specifically), you will need a radio with an HDMI input and a phone that can stream video over the HDMI output

You can use the DC3 controller with the FTALARMIT kit add-on, you can also use an FT-CMX controller also with the FTALARMIT kit.

Yes these will work on Toyota hybrids.
