Remote Start Leaders
15,000 Installs Strong

15,000 Remote Starts and Counting

Remote start is where it started for us. We began as the exclusive remote start installer for local dealerships, handling the work their own service departments sent out, and it is where the Xclusive name comes from. Decades later, we have installed more than 15,000 remote start systems, more than any shop in the Metro East.

That experience is the difference. We have wired your vehicle before, we know the safe way to do it, and we solder every connection so it lasts. When the dealerships needed it done right, they sent it to us. You can too.

Remote Start & Security

Walk Out to a Warm (or Cool) Truck

We install Compustar remote start and alarm systems and we have been doing it for over two decades in Belleville, the Metro East, and St. Louis. Picture a warm cab on a freezing morning or a cool one on a scorching afternoon, started from your phone or a remote before you ever step outside.

Here is the part that matters: the install is more important than the remote. Every connection we make is soldered, not crimped, so it is permanent and will outlast your vehicle. We safely install on manual transmissions too, and have for 25 years without a single problem. Every install is backed by a limited lifetime warranty on our workmanship, and we replace your remote battery for life on any system you buy from us.

Common Questions

FAQ

Can you put a remote start on a manual transmission?

Yes. We have safely installed remote starts on manual-transmission vehicles for 25 years with zero issues, using a proper reservation-mode setup so it only starts when it is safe.

How far will the remote reach?

Depends on the system. Entry systems reach up to 1,500 feet, mid-tier up to 3,000 feet with two-way confirmation, and our Pro systems reach up to 3 miles. Add DroneMobile and you can start it from anywhere with cell signal, right from your phone.

What is DroneMobile?

DroneMobile turns your phone into the remote. Start, lock, locate, and monitor your vehicle from anywhere over the internet. We can add it to most of our systems.

Will a remote start void my warranty or hurt my truck?

No. We solder every connection (never crimp) and integrate cleanly with your vehicle, so it is permanent and reliable. Done right, it outlasts the vehicle.

Do you install alarms too?

Yes. Compustar systems combine remote start with security, and we can tailor the alarm and add-ons to what you actually need.

How many remote starts have you installed?

More than 15,000. We started as the exclusive remote start installer for local dealerships, which is where the Xclusive name comes from, and we have installed more than any shop in the Metro East since.

Do you warranty your remote start installs?

Yes. Every install carries a limited lifetime warranty on our workmanship. The system itself carries its manufacturer warranty, from one year on entry remotes up to three years on Pro, and we replace your remote battery for life.

Is a remote start worth it for St. Louis winters?

Yes. A warm, defrosted cab on a freezing Metro East morning, started from inside your house, is the upgrade people use every day from November through March. In summer it cools the cabin before you ever get in.

How much does a remote start cost?

It depends on your vehicle and the system tier, from a reliable one-way starter to our 3-mile Pro with smartphone control. We give you a clear, itemized quote up front, with no surprises.
