“Missed out on the $249 Compustar deal and now I see this on sale and cheaper plus has 6000 range over the other having 3000. This one doesn't have many reviews and I am not familiar with this brand is it as good as Compustar?”

Manufacturer website about page shows Compustar was started in the US by Firstech in 1995 and iDataStart was started in Canada by Automotive Data Solutions in 2005 -- looks like both companies partnered up in 2021 so I don't think you'll have a problem with either brand since they've been around for a while. Compustar kit is a few years old but its cheaper on sale -- it has 3000ft max range and comes with one 2way remote and one 1way remote. iDataStart kit looks like a recently upgraded version of their old HC3 system but costs more -- it has 6000ft max range and comes with two 2way remotes. Get the Compustar on sale if you're on a budget or don't need extra range otherwise pay more for iDataStart on sale for longer range and a second 2way remote. You won't get close to the max range with either system in the real world due to interference from other things so I would cut the range numbers in half to get a better idea of actual range for most people
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thanks for the response we weren't sure what to do and ended up with the compustar on sale for $349 with install. Didn't know this was considered an upgraded compustar one but you mentioned 2 way remotes the 4905S said 2 way remote also does it not have that?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I was told by an installer that this is compustar Upgraded version was listed at 599.00 on sale for 349. Bought one waiting for installation in my 2006 trailblazer. Installed the 4905s in my 2001 corvette. Love it range 3000 feet. This is 6000 feet plus comes with two 2 way remotes.
