Key2GO

This feature is mandatory to control the immobilizer override in this firmware.

Key2GO has been designed and developed to bypass the advanced encryption layers found in modern vehicles. It uses an array
of servers to generate a duplicate of the original key, allowing the installation of a remote starter without having to give up a key.

The advantage is that this feature allows you to use one original key and the server to configure the bypass in the vehicle.

All Key2GO-compatible firmware are clearly indicated in the function list of each vehicle search result page and will also appear
on the flash page. Any first-time user must re-register to gain access to Key2GO, and some additional information will be required
to complete the registration process, such as your Directed account number and store name.

Key2GO is compatible with XKLoader2 and the online web tool, as well as XKLoader3 and the Directechs Mobile application.

Refer to "Module programming" on page 12 of this guide for instructions on how to program features using Key2GO.

Connecting the module

Important!

Before connecting the Directed Digital Solutions, it is important to ensure that the proper feature and function programming is
selected using the configuration wizard. Visit www.directechs.com to use the latest version of the online tool.

Flashing a module using your computer:

1. Disconnect the main module from any (+) 12V power source, then connect it to your computer using the XKLoader2.

2. Go to www.directechs.com using Internet Explorer; the configuration wizard will be displayed automatically.

3. Follow the instructions in the pop up window that will be displayed when the module is detected.

Flashing a module using your smartphone or tablet:

1. Disconnect the main module from any (+) 12V power source, then connect it to the XKLoader3.

2. Launch the Directechs Mobile app on your smartphone or tablet.

3. Select FLASH YOUR MODULE and follow the on-screen instructions.

When the flashing operation is successful, you can proceed with the instructions below.

Manual or automatic transmission selection

The yellow loop on the Directed Digital Solutions controls which transmission type the unit is configured for. The state of the loop
(uncut or cut) when the main module is powered up will determine which type is selected.

• Uncut (default): Manual transmission.

• Cut: Automatic transmission.

For safety reasons, all Directed Digital Solutions are shipped ready to use with a manual transmission (the yellow loop is
untouched). If the loop is cut after power has been applied, it is necessary to cycle power to the main module (via the white 12­pin main power harness) so the unit will see the state change on the loop and appropriately configure the transmission type.

Ready mode

To successfully remote start a vehicle equipped with a manual transmission, the Ready Mode feature must be enabled before
exiting the vehicle. Please refer to the Owner’s Guide for more details on this required process.

Additional connections required for vehicles equipped with a manual transmission (if not supported by firmware)

Connection Description

(-) E-Brake Status Input
(Black/White, pin 2)

(-) Door Trigger Input
(White/Green, pin 10)
OR (+) Door Input (Yellow/
Green, pin 11)

(AC) Tachometer Input
(Violet/White, pin 6)

Must be connected to a working emergency brake in the vehicle. Although most vehicles have simple
(-) trigger emergency brake circuits note some vehicles do not and may require unique integration
methodologies.

Must be connected to a working door trigger in the vehicle, which monitors all doors. The unit must monitor
the door pins to allow the Ready Mode process to be enabled.
Note: Some vehicles may require unique integration methodologies for this circuit.

Must be connected to a working tachometer signal in the vehicle (fuel injector, ignition coil, true tach, etc.)
and learned successfully to the Directed Digital Solutions.

Note: Refer to www.directechs.com for more information.

Optional sensors

Note: The sensor port is only active on hybrid systems.

The 4-pin sensor port is compatible with a number of different Directed sensors including, but not limited to:

• Shock Sensor – 504D

• Field Disturbance Sensor – 508D

• Ultrasonic Sensor – 509U

Note: In the case of 508D, power and ground must be hardwired to the vehicle – power and ground should NOT be obtained
from the 4-pin sensor port.

Each sensor will have its own instructions, which must be followed for installation and adjustment.

RF Systems

An RF System consists of one or multiple remotes, a Control Center (antenna), and an antenna cable – various combinations exist.
An RF System allows the vehicle owner to control the system with enhanced range. Two-way models are available. Please follow
the instructions included with the kit for appropriate installation and programming information.

When flashing the Directed Digital Solutions, make sure to pick the remote you will be using. This way the main module will have
the necessary firmware to interact with the remote and Control Center (antenna) combination.

When used in conjunction with SmartStart

Disconnect power from the Directed Digital Solutions before connecting the SmartStart module. Failing to do so could damage
main module. To enable D2D communication between the Directed Digital Solutions and the SmartStart one of the following
actions must be executed:

• SmartStart with Loops – The brown loop must be cut.

• SmartStart with Pigtails – The gray wire must be connected to a ground source.

Loops Pigtails

DO NOT connect the SmartStart 2-pin power harness when using the Directed Digital Solutions. Power and ground will be
provided by the D2D connector on main module. Refer to the SmartStart documentation for further details.

Learning the Tach (not needed with Virtual Tach)

Tach comes preprogrammed, therefore learning is not required; however, it can be readjusted with the following operations:

1. Start the vehicle using the key.

2. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the Control Center* (antenna) or the main module programming button, until the LED on the
Control Center (antenna) or the main module turns ON solid.

3. Release the button. Tachometer value is now stored in memory.

If the LED does not turn ON solid, find an alternate tach source.

* If the Control Center (antenna) was not included in your kit, the tach can be programmed using the programming button directly
on the main module.

Note: When the tachometer is programmed, the main module automatically enters the Tachometer engine checking mode.

Initializing Virtual Tach (not needed with hardwired or data tach applications)

To program Virtual Tach:

1. After the install is complete, remote start the engine. The programming operation may require 3 cranks of the starter before the
engine starts and runs. Do not turn off the remote start if this happens, it is a normal programming operation.

2. Once the engine begins running, let it run for at least 30 seconds.

3. Using the Remote, send the Remote start command to turn remote start off. Virtual Tach is programmed. To reset Virtual Tach, a
module reset must be done.

Note: Virtual Tach cannot be used in Manual Transmission Mode. It is also not recommended for diesel trucks.

Virtual Tach handles disengaging the starter motor during remote starting – it does not address over-rev. If the customer wants to
have the over-rev protection capability, the tach wire or data tach must be used.

Important! After successfully learning Virtual Tach, a small minority of vehicle starters may over crank or under crank during remote
start. Use the VirtualTach Fine tune feature in the configuration wizard to adjust the starter output time in 50mS increments to
compensate for such an occurrence.
