I have a Compustar MODEL: RF-P2W901-SS remote starter on my vehicle and at first I had the same issue as you and didn't know what was going on. Apparently, all you need to do it tap hit the brake for about 1 sec and let go, don't hold it down. If it hasn't shut off at this point you can probably shift and go. I haven't gotten the timing down completely but 98% of the time my car doesn't turn off.

From the moment i disarm my alarm, i have 30 seconds to step into the car and press the brake pedal, then as long as it senses the key, i can go on and drive away with no issues.

DId you have to give up your remote key fob/card
Hi there,
I am also getting compustar 901 installed on my 2011 RX350. Did you or will I have to give up one of my remote key fobs/cards?
Thanks, Charles

What module do you guys use? I am using Flashlogic and my car turns on but doesn't turn off. It also doesn't have any added security. I turn my car on and someone can break my window and drive off without the key.

on our complex cars, where there are lots of folks with bad installs, I would not risk it to save the money---especially since the amateur guys like Best Buy will not even touch our Lexus, their books telling them that a remote starter is not possible for the 2IS. That tells us how challenging our install is--call Best Buy and verify, they will not do it.
My two cents
