Firstech Compustar Revamps Pro Dealer Program Ahead of Remote Start Season
SEATTLE, WA – September 19, 2024 – Firstech, leading maker of automotive remote start and security technologies, is announcing major updates to the Compustar Pro Dealer program. These updates include exclusive access to new Compustar Pro-branded products, more direct dealer benefits, and stronger enforcement of policies to protect the program.
Introduced in 2009, the Compustar Pro Dealer program was established by Firstech to offer the company’s top supporting retailers exclusive access to flagship products, like the Compustar Pro T13 remote start and security system. Compustar Pro-branded products are backed by a strict no-online selling policy (without installation) in order to provide participating dealers enhanced price protection from third-party marketplaces like Amazon and Ebay.
Heading into the 2024-2025 winter season, Compustar is introducing nine new remote start and security products to bolster the Compustar Pro product line. All remote kits and systems will include a companion remote and select products will be bundled with a Drone X2-LTE telematics module.
New Compustar Pro Products
- PRO 2WG18 2-Way Remote Upgrade Kit with Drone LTE
- PRO 2WG18 2-Way Remote Upgrade Kit
- PRO 1WG18 Remote Upgrade Kit
- CSXP8950-A 2-Way Advanced Security System with Drone LTE
- CSXP5400-S 2-Way Remote Start System with Drone LTE
- CSP5400-S 2-Way Remote Start System
- CSP945-AS 1-Way Remote Start & Security System
- CSP942-A Security System
- CSP940-S Remote Start System
All of the aforementioned Compustar Pro products will also be serial-tracked, allowing Firstech to identify violators of the program’s strict no-online selling policy (without installation).
In addition to exclusive access to Compustar Pro products, participating dealers will enjoy priority technical support and extended 3-year warranties on Pro-branded products. Compustar Pro dealers will also have access to the company’s revenue sharing program, myFirstech Rewards.
“The new and improved Compustar Pro series product line sets a new standard in channel management and dealer support. By implementing more rigorous brand oversight, we will ensure that authorized Pro dealers can enjoy enhanced margins and a competitive edge in the market,” shares Firstech’s Managing Director, Jason Kaminski. “With the Compustar Pro product line now consisting of over 10 unique models, we hope it underscores Firstech’s commitment to participating Pro dealers.”
As part of Firstech’s updates to the Compustar Pro Dealer program, the company has engaged with all existing Pro dealers to enforce the following policies:
Compustar Pro Dealer Program Requirements
- Compustar Pro products are restricted from online selling without installation.
- Compustar Pro dealers must adhere to Firstech’s minimum advertised pricing (MAP) pricing.
- Sufficient floor and display space must be dedicated towards merchandising Compustar Pro products.
- The entire Compustar Pro product line, including the new products, must be purchased and offered by Compustar Pro dealers.
