1 way vs. 2 way Compustar remote car starters
We have an in-depth article explaining the difference between 1 way vs. 2 way remote car starters. We will briefly explain the difference here.
1 way remote car starters
A 1 way remote car starter means the signal communication only goes one way. In other words, you press the start button on your remote. The receiver inside your car will receive the signal and then start your car.
2 way remote car starters
A 2 way remote car starter means the signal communications goes both ways. From your car remote to your car, and from your car to your car remote.
If your car started successfully, the starter system inside your car will send a signal to your car remote letting you know that your car started.
