TWINSTAR Overview

Illustration
TWINSTAR works alongside your existing Autostar handset - it doesn't replace it. It restores a clear, easy-to-use screen and controls, while adding modern features such as app connectivity and optional joystick control. TWINSTAR connects via the handset's RS-232 port, which is present on all Audiostar and 497 Autostar handsets. Please check the connection image below to confirm compatibility. For best results, handset firmware version 4.3GN is recommended (updatable via www.stargps.ca).
