Firstech FT-CMX-HC Universal Remote Start and Alarm Controller with High Current Harness

The Firstech FT-CMX-HC is a next-generation universal remote start and vehicle security controller designed for maximum installer flexibility. Compatible with security-only, remote start-only, or combined configurations, the CMX serves as a true universal platform for professional 12-volt installations.

Smarter, Stronger, Faster: The CMX features an upgraded 32-bit ARM processor (compared to the 8-bit processor in the older CM-7) and 256kb of flash storage, delivering enhanced programmability, faster event tracking, and improved operational speed. A dampproof protective coating and ultra-slim form factor round out the hardware improvements.
