PRO T13 Full-Color LCD Remote
The centerpiece is the 2WT13R-SF PRO T13 remote.
Compustar designed the T13 as its premium full-color 2-way LCD transmitter with an interactive menu and vehicle-status display.
The remote can show supported information such as:
- Lock status
- Door status
- Engine status
- Temperature
- Remote-start status
- Security alerts
Instead of relying on a few blinking LEDs, you get a visual interface that actually tells you what the vehicle is doing.
2-Way Command Confirmation
The T13 is a true 2-way remote.
When you send a supported command, the installed Compustar system can return confirmation to the remote.
The communication path becomes:
T13 → Vehicle → T13
This allows you to know whether a command such as:
- Lock
- Unlock
- Remote start
- Trunk release
- Auxiliary function
was actually received.
That matters when the car is parked somewhere you cannot see it.
Up to 3-Mile Range
Compustar rates the PRO T13 for up to 3 miles of maximum range under ideal conditions.
Real-world RF range depends on:
- Buildings
- Concrete
- RF interference
- Terrain
- Antenna placement
- Parking structures
- Vehicle location
Three miles is the maximum advertised figure, not a promise that the signal will pass through every office tower between you and the car.
Still, this sits at the extreme end of traditional aftermarket remote-control range.
Proximity Unlock
One of the T13’s most interesting features is Proximity Unlock.
With a compatible control module and correct installation, the system can automatically unlock or disarm the vehicle as you approach.
Compustar describes the activation distance as approximately 3 to 6 feet.
That changes the normal interaction from:
Walk up → find remote → press unlock
to:
Walk up → vehicle recognizes remote → unlock
For daily use, that is one of those features that sounds minor until you get used to it.
Proximity Unlock Requires Compatible Hardware
Do not assume proximity unlock works with every older Compustar controller.
Compustar currently lists full proximity-unlock compatibility with control modules including:
- CM-900X
- CM-DC3
- CM-X
- CM7000-AS
- CM7200-S
The T13 can work with other current Firstech control modules when proximity unlock is not required, but full functionality depends on the controller and antenna combination.
That compatibility distinction is important before purchase.
ANT-2WSF Antenna Included
The kit includes the ANT-2WSF 2-way Spread Spectrum antenna with proximity-unlock support.
This antenna is a critical part of the T13 system.
The remote does not simply pair with any Compustar antenna.
For proper long-range and proximity operation, the correct SF antenna platform is required.
Three Buttons, Up to 50 Commands and Settings
The T13 uses a minimalist three-button design, but the interface supports a much larger command set.
Compustar lists up to 50 commands and settings accessible through the LCD menu system.
Depending on the installed controller and vehicle configuration, these can include:
- Lock
- Unlock
- Remote start
- Trunk release
- Panic
- Auxiliary outputs
- Vehicle status
- Temperature display
- Security functions
- Remote settings
So while the physical remote has only three buttons, it is not a three-function device.
Two 2-Way Remotes Included
The RFX-P2WT13-SF includes both:
PRO T13 2-way LCD remote
and
PRO R5 2-way LED remote
That is a major advantage over older premium bundles that often included one flagship 2-way remote and a simpler 1-way backup.
Both regular drivers can have a remote with command confirmation.
PRO R5 Backup Remote
The included PRO R5 gives you a more compact 2-way LED transmitter for everyday use or a second driver.
It lacks the T13’s full-color display but still provides 2-way feedback.
That makes it much more useful than a basic backup transmitter.
IPX-7 Waterproof T13 Remote
Compustar rates the PRO T13 IPX-7 waterproof.
Even the charging-port design is intended to withstand normal environmental exposure.
That matters because remotes are carried through:
- Rain
- Snow
- Work sites
- Backpacks
- Gym bags
- Pockets
- Cupholders
Premium electronics are more useful when you don’t have to treat them like museum pieces.
USB-Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery
The T13 uses a USB-rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Compustar currently estimates roughly 30–40 days of battery life, depending on usage.
That means no constant AAA or coin-cell replacements.
Charge it when needed and keep using it.
Full-Color Vehicle Status Display
The T13’s LCD interface can display supported vehicle information at a glance.
Depending on installation, that may include:
- Engine running
- Locked / unlocked
- Door state
- Temperature
- Alarm status
- Remote-start status
This makes the T13 especially useful on vehicles parked outside direct line of sight.
Drone X1 LTE/GPS Module Included
The RFX-P2WT13-SF also includes the DroneMobile X1-LTE module.
That adds a completely different communication path from the T13’s RF system.
The T13 uses local RF.
DroneMobile uses LTE.
So you effectively get:
T13 → RF → Vehicle
and
Phone → Cellular network → X1-LTE → Vehicle
That gives you both fast local control and long-distance smartphone connectivity.
Smartphone Control
With compatible hardware and an active DroneMobile plan, you can control supported functions through the DroneMobile app.
Depending on system configuration, this can include:
- Remote start
- Lock
- Unlock
- Arm
- Disarm
- Vehicle status
That means your phone becomes another remote whenever cellular coverage is available.
GPS Tracking
The X1-LTE includes GPS capability.
With the appropriate DroneMobile service level, supported features can include:
- Vehicle location
- GPS tracking
- Location history
- Movement-related alerts
- Geofence features
- Connected notifications
These features depend on the service plan.
DroneMobile Subscription Required
The included X1-LTE hardware does not mean connected LTE and GPS services are free forever.
Compustar currently includes a 30-day trial of DroneMobile Premium with the kit.
After the trial, continued LTE/app/GPS features require an appropriate paid DroneMobile subscription.
Traditional T13 RF operation does not require that subscription.
Does the T13 Need DroneMobile to Work?
No.
The T13 remote can communicate directly with the vehicle through the installed Compustar RF system.
DroneMobile is an additional communication layer.
You can think of it this way:
T13 = dedicated long-range remote
X1-LTE = smartphone/GPS connectivity
They complement each other rather than replace each other.
Does the T13 Have GPS?
The remote itself does not provide GPS vehicle tracking.
GPS functionality comes from the included Drone X1-LTE module and appropriate DroneMobile service.
Remote Start Control
When this kit is connected to a compatible Compustar remote-start controller, the T13 can control remote engine start.
That makes it possible to begin heating or cooling the cabin before you enter.
But again:
The RFX-P2WT13-SF does not include the remote-start brain itself.
The underlying compatible controller must already be installed or purchased separately.
Security Integration
When paired with a compatible Compustar security controller, the T13 can also receive supported alarm alerts.
That can add 2-way feedback for security events involving:
- Doors
- Hood
- Trunk
- Shock sensors
- Tilt sensors
- Other security inputs
Our car alarm guide explains why owner notification is one of the most valuable differences between basic alarms and more advanced 2-way systems.
Professional Installation Recommended
This kit is not a universal plug-and-play upgrade.
Installation can require:
- Compatible Compustar controller
- ANT-2WSF antenna installation
- Remote pairing
- DroneMobile X1-LTE installation
- LTE/GPS antenna placement
- Controller firmware compatibility
- Vehicle-specific configuration
- Proximity-unlock configuration
Professional installation is strongly recommended if you’re uncertain about the existing system.
Check the Existing Control Module Before Buying
Before ordering the RFX-P2WT13-SF, identify the Compustar/Firstech controller already installed in the vehicle.
That determines whether:
- T13 communication is supported
- Proximity Unlock works
- Security functions are available
- Remote start is available
- Auxiliary commands are supported
Do not buy purely because the vehicle already has a Compustar logo on the windshield.
The control module matters.
T13 vs. T12
Both are premium Compustar 3-mile 2-way LCD platforms, but the T13 adds a major convenience feature.
PRO T13
- Up to 3 miles
- Full-color LCD
- 2-way confirmation
- Proximity Unlock
- IPX-7 waterproof
- USB rechargeable
- PRO R5 backup remote
- 3-button / 50-command interface
T12
- Up to 3 miles
- 2-way LCD
- IPX-7 waterproof
- USB rechargeable
- 2-way backup remote
- No T13-style proximity-unlock focus
If proximity unlock and the newer full-color interface matter, the T13 is the more advanced platform.
RFX-P2WT13-SF vs. RF-P2WT13-SF
This distinction is important.
RF-P2WT13-SF
Remote kit.
Includes:
- T13 remote
- R5 remote
- ANT-2WSF antenna
RFX-P2WT13-SF
Remote kit plus LTE/GPS connectivity.
Adds:
- Drone X1-LTE module
- DroneMobile capability
- GPS-connected services with subscription
If smartphone and GPS features are part of the goal, the RFX version is the stronger bundle.
T13 vs. Compustar Q9
These serve different price and feature tiers.
Q9
- Up to 3,000 feet
- 2-way color LCD
- Replaceable AAA battery
- Strong midrange option
PRO T13
- Up to 3 miles
- Premium full-color LCD
- Proximity Unlock
- IPX-7 waterproof
- Rechargeable battery
- Two included 2-way remotes
- Premium PRO warranty
The Q9 covers everyday remote-start needs very well.
The T13 is for someone who wants the flagship remote experience.
T13 vs. Viper 5908V
This is also a useful cross-brand comparison.
Compustar PRO T13
- Up to 3 miles
- Full-color LCD
- Proximity Unlock
- IPX-7 waterproof
- DroneMobile LTE/GPS included in RFX bundle
- Two 2-way remotes
Viper 5908V
- Up to 1 mile
- Color LCD
- USB-C rechargeable
- SmartStart Pro expandable
- Remote start + security system platform
For maximum RF range and proximity unlock, the T13 stands out.
3-Year PRO Remote Warranty
Compustar backs the included PRO-series remotes with a 3-year PRO warranty against covered defects and component failures.
That applies to the premium T13/R5 remote package rather than replacing installation-specific warranty terms.
Keep proof of purchase and installation documentation.
Who Should Buy the Compustar RFX-P2WT13-SF?
This kit makes the most sense for:
Existing Compustar owners who want the best remote upgrade
Drivers who want 3-mile 2-way confirmation
People who want automatic proximity unlocking
Users who want smartphone control and GPS tracking
Two-driver households that want two 2-way remotes
Enthusiast-car owners who want premium security feedback
Anyone who wants both traditional RF and cellular control
Who Should Not Buy It?
This is probably not the right product if:
- Your vehicle has no compatible Compustar controller
- You only need a cheap replacement remote
- You do not care about 2-way confirmation
- You do not need long range
- Your existing controller cannot support the features you want
In those cases, a simpler Q9, G17, or basic remote-start bundle may make more sense.

It’s the product you buy when you want to turn a compatible Compustar system into something considerably more advanced.
You get:
3-mile 2-way range.
Full-color LCD.
Proximity Unlock.
IPX-7 waterproof construction.
Two 2-way remotes.
DroneMobile LTE.
GPS capability.
And unlike a phone-only system, you still have a dedicated physical remote that works without opening an app.
That’s what makes the T13 bundle interesting.
It doesn’t force you to choose between old-school remote reliability and modern connected-car features.
It gives you both.
