PLEASE READ ENTIRE MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING

Congratulations on your purchase of the Ready Remote Car Starter. The Ready Remote Car Starter allows you to start your car by remote control from the comfort of your home or office in order to cool it down in the summer or heat it up in the winter.

Ready Remote is for automatic transmission/fuel injected gasoline vehicles only. Please see pages 6 and 7 for important information on factory anti-theft systems. Ready Remote is an extremely sophisticated system with multiple built-in safety and security features.

Features:

• Will start your car by remote control from up to 1,000 feet away, and run the heater, defroster, or air conditioner to warm up or cool down the car.

• Is designed to start the car if it is in park, and only if the hood is closed.

• Lets you lock and unlock doors and pop the trunk by remote.

• Will attempt to start the car for up to six seconds, but no longer (to avoid damage to the starter motor). Should the car not start, or if it stalls after starting, the remote starter will make two further attempts to start it.

• Protects your vehicle with a basic alarm system.

• Requires the user to “enable” the unit to prevent accidental starts.

• Will not let the car be driven without the key in the ignition.

• Shuts itself off automatically after 10 or 15 minutes (programmable) if you forget to come out to your car.

• Will shut off if the brake pedal is pushed, the hood is opened, or the transmission is shifted out of park - unless the key is in the ignition and in the “run” position.

• Is quality engineered and microprocessor controlled to provide many years of reliable use.

• Allows you to control up to 4 vehicles with Ready Remote

POWER & IGNITION HARNESS

The remote starter module will be installed under the dash once all wiring has been completed. Do not mount the module at this time! You will need to check the red diagnostic LED light as the installation progresses.

Locate (or drill) a hole in the firewall to run the PURPLE and GREEN wires of the Control Harness and the PINK wire of the Power Harness into the engine compartment. The remaining short wires stay in the passenger area. Leave about a foot of the wire harness under the dash for ease of working and visual access to the diagnostic light.

The Installation Information section of www.designtech-intl.com is available 24 hours/day to provide you with free, up-to-date vehicle wiring information for your particular vehicle after you log in.

4. Blue Wire (14 AWG) - Ignition 1

Connect the BLUE wire to the ignition 1 wire of your vehicle. This wire will measure +12 Volts on the test meter in the “run” and

“start” posi-

tion, and is off in the “lock/off” and “accessory” positions.

5. Green (14 AWG) - Ignition 2

Connect the GREEN wire to the Ignition 2 wire in the vehicle. The Ignition 2 wire can function in several different ways in your vehicle. It is important to understand how it works. The Ignition 2 wire will usually measure +12 Volts in the “run” position and is off (ground) in the “lock/off” and “accessory” positions. In certain vehicles, it may also show +12 Volts in the “Start” position or Ignition 2 may turn OFF during “Crank” and turn back ON after the starter disengages. Carefully note the function of the Ignition 2 wire. If the Ignition 2 turns OFF during “Crank”, see Changing Ignition 2 Function in section 23. If Ignition 2 stays ON during “Crank,” no options need to be changed.

6. White Wire (14 AWG) - Accessory

Connect the WHITE wire to the accessory wire which is +12 Volts in the “run” and “accessory” position, but off in the “start” and “off” positions. In GM vehicles, connect the white wire to the orange wire that is hot in “run” only.

8. Plug-In On/0ff Switch

Connection of the ON/OFF control switch is mandatory. Do not let the switch wires touch ground. Mount the control switch so that it is easily accessible and so that the “ON” position is facing upward. Make sure there is enough clearance behind the mounted switch for the wire connections. Use a 1/4" drill-bit for the mounting hole. Plug the switch connector into the module just to the right of the power wires. Turn the switch on.

CONTROL HARNESS (ALL WIRES ARE THE SMALLER 18 AWG SIZE)

9. Purple Wire - Hood Pin Switch - Control Harness

The hood pin switch MUST be installed with the remote starter. It prevents operation of the remote starter when the hood is open and is used to initialize the unit. Connect the PURPLE wire to the hood pin switch using the red connector.

10. Orange Wire - Brake Shut-off - Control Harness

Connect the ORANGE wire to the brake wire which receives +12 Volts when the brake pedal is depressed. This wire must be connected. It arms a critical safety feature which disables the remote starter when the brake pedal is depressed.

Note: In some cars, the ignition must be in the “on” position to test the power in the brake wire.

Note: If the Ignition 1 & Ignition 2 wires come on whenever the brake is depressed and the hood is open this just means you need to initialize the unit in step 11.

11. Initializing the Remote Starter

BEFORE THE UNIT WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THE FIRST TIME, YOU MUST INITIALIZE THE REMOTE STARTER

Tachometer sensing If the vehicle is generally hard to start (i.e. requiring a cranking time of more than 1 second) you will get more accurate starting with the tachometer sensing starting method. This method starts the car by reading the engine speed (tach) information from a wire under the hood. If you choose tachometer sensing, connect the GREEN (18 awg) wire to the car’s tach wire under the hood (normally the negative side of the coil or tach output of coil pack). After you have connected the GREEN wire, you need to teach the remote starter the vehicle’s tach rate at idle. Proceed to step 12B.

Note:

You must have already initialized the remote starter in Step 11.

12B. Tach Rate Learning

Note:

Only use if the tachometer sensing method is chosen.

A. Unplug all wires from the brain module. B. Open the module case and find the Tach switch as shown in the

diagram below. Move the Tach switch to the ON position. Close the case and plug all wires back into the brain module.

A. Insert the fuse into the pink fuse holder on the pink power wire. B. Turn the control switch on. C. The remote starter requires the installer to open the hood and

then press and hold the brake pedal. Note: The ignition/dash lights will come on if the unit is not initialized.

D. While depressing the brake (with the engine off and the hood

open) turn the ignition key to the “RUN” (not “start”) position. E. Put the car in “DRIVE” from the “PARK” position. F. Put the car back in “PARK” and release the brake. G. Turn the key off and remove the key.

Note:

Confirm initialization by turning the ON/OFF control switch “OFF” and then “ON”. The red LED light on the remote start module will flash once immediately as the switch is flipped from the “OFF” to the “ON” position.

If the unit is not initialized then the dash lights will come on (the remote starter powers up the ignition wires) when the brake is depressed or the hood is open, and the control/valet switch is on. REPEAT STEPS A THROUGH G. See the colored Trouble Shooting Sheets if necessary.

12A. Green Wire - Tach Input - Control Harness

The Remote Starter has two ways of monitoring the car during the starting process. Both ways will ensure a clean, accurate start. Read about both methods before deciding which one to use. Normally you should try the “No Tach™” method first.

“No Tach™” Starting

This starting method does not require the connection of the GREEN tach wire. This method will start the car by reading the car’s voltage before attempting to start, and then looking for a voltage increase when the alternator kicks in. This feature automatically takes into account voltage, temperature, and the time since the vehicle was last run. The “No-Tach™ 12B if you would like to use it. Note that if the vehicle is hard to start, set option #3 [Setting Program Features section (step 22)] for “extended crank.”

”

starting is preset at the factory and you can skip step

C. Connect the GREEN wire to the car’s tach wire under the hood. D. Turn the On/Off control switch to the “OFF” position. Wait 5 sec-

onds for the red LED light flashes to stop.

E. Program the unit to the tach mode by pushing the White “op-

tion” button once and watching the red LED light flash. Now push the start button on the transmitter for a second until you see the red LED light flash again. You are now in TACH mode. (If the red LED light flashed twice or sometimes three times – sim-

ply push the transmitter button again until you get only one flash). F. Wait 5 seconds for the red LED light to flash 3 times. G. Turn the On/Off control switch back to the “ON” position H. Start the car with the key and let it get to a

normal

idle. Do not

press on the gas pedal. I. Push the red “code learn” button for a second. J. Watch the red LED light. It will come on after 3 or 4 seconds,

indicating that the tach idle rate has been learned. K. Turn the key to the “Lock/Off” position. You are now finished.

12c. Green Wire - Alarm/Tach Input - Control Harness

If you did not hook up the green wire to the tach, it may be used as an alarm input. This is the factory setting. This wire will accept any negative alarm input, including door inputs, shock sensors, radar sensors, etc.. Option #1 No-Tach/Tach must be set to No-Tach for the alarm to function.

Any sensor that supplies a negative or ground output when activated is acceptable.

If you are using a sensor or input that switches to (+) when triggered, you will need to reverse the polarity before connecting to this GREEN input wire (Ford door switches for example). The alarm feature is

2005 Directed Electronics, Inc.

v5.3 (27)

“last door arming” and “Negative going trigger”. You should diode isolate the inputs of two or more sensors on the same input wire.

If you choose not to use this alarm feature then permanently ground this wire. If the tach input is needed, proceed to step 12B. (It is NOT possible to use the Alarm input and also have tach sensing.)

OPTIONAL STEPS

13. Yellow Wire - Headlights/Parking Lights Control Harness

Connection of the YELLOW wire allows you to activate the low beam headlights or parking lights for remote start and lock status. After the remote starter has started the car, the lights will remain on until the remote starter shuts off after 10 minutes, or when the brake pedal is pushed, or when the car is put into gear. output. Connect the

YELLOW wire to the wire that has power when

This is a relay +12 Volts

the lights are on. You do not need to add a relay unless your vehicle has a negative lighting system.

14. Blue - Horn/Siren - Control Harness

The BLUE wire signals the horn to honk (or siren to chirp) once each time the remote starter starts the vehicle and each time the locks are locked or unlocked. Connect the blue wire to the factory horn wire which is often found running down the steering column. It will normally show +12 Volts at rest and the voltage will disappear when the horn is honked. This is a 400 mA transistor ground output which MUST drive a relay if using a siren or positively triggered horn.

Positive Horn/Siren Relay

15. Brown/White - Alarm Disable - Control Harness

The BROWN/WHITE wire is Alarm Disable, which will give out a quick negative pulse just before starting the vehicle. This wire can be used to turn off the factory alarm system in vehicles which have them. In most vehicles, this wire is located in the driver’s kick panel. A relay is needed for vehicles which require a positive pulse.

16. White/Black Wire - Ignition #3 / VATS - Control Harness

The WHITE/BLACK ground output that acts just like the Ignition 1 or Ignition 2 relay outputs (active in the “run” and “crank” positions). This wire is a 400 mA negative transistor output and MUST be set up to power a relay ignition wire at the key (necessary for most Ford vehicles).

This is the wire that can also be used to bypass a passive anti-theft system by hooking it up to the Universal Alarm Bypass Module. See the Factory Anti-Theft System Section at the end of the instructions.

Determine the polarity of your door lock system by using a test meter. For NEGATIVE locks (the lock wire sees a ground signal briefly as the electric locks are locked) – connect the Red/Black wire to the Unlock wire and the Red/White wire to the Lock wire.

v5.3 (27)

For POSITIVE locks (the lock wire sees a +12 volt signal briefly as the electric locks are locked but does not see ground when they are inactive) connect the Red/Black wire to the Lock wire and the Red/ White wire to the Unlock wire.

For REVERSING POLARITY (the lock wires sees a +12 volt signal briefly as the electric locks are locked and sees a ground signal when they are inactive) follow the following diagram:

For Single Wire Lock Systems: Connect both the lock and unlock output wires to the single lock/unlock wire in the vehicle with the appropriate resistor(s) in-line. Refer to the specific vehicle wiring instructions for further guidance on the value of resistor(s) needed and the required output polarity (+/-).

REQUIRED FINAL STEPS

You must have hooked up all required wires and completed Initialization (Step 11) to proceed forward.

19. Trying the Unit Out

WARNING: Be prepared to apply the brake during this testing. A. Close the hood and fully apply the emergency brake B. Place the vehicle in Park. C. Turn the On/Off switch off then on – the red LED will flash once. D. Once all the wiring is checked and is correct, press the Start but-

ton on the transmitter.

E. The car should start and continue to run for ten minutes. Make

sure that the engine shuts down if the car is shifted out of park, the hood is opened, the brake is pressed or the start button is pushed again. If the car does not start, see Special Cases or Code Learning section under Special Cases.

20. The Antenna

Feed the antenna around under the dash and up the inside of the right or left windshield post and over the top of the windshield. Clean the windshield with the rubbing alcohol pad, wait to dry. Slip the rubber antenna into the hard plastic antenna clip. Remove the backing from the double sided tape and mount the antenna behind the rear view mirror. The more exposed the antenna is, the better the range and performance. Now plug the end of the antenna into the

2005 Directed Electronics, Inc.

remote starter module. In some vehicles you will get better range performance if the antenna is pointing vertically downward from the top of the windshield.

The wiring section of the installation is now complete. Be sure to

cap all unused wires so as to prevent short circuits, and mount the module securely under the dash. When tying up and mounting the unit, be sure to avoid any moving parts (steering column, pedals) and sharp edges.

21. Troubleshooting with the Self Diagnostics

The remote starter contains a built in diagnostic routine that will indicate why the unit started or why the unit turned off the car the last time that the unit was used.

To activate the diagnostic mode for why it turned off, simply turn the On/Off control switch to the “OFF” position. In a few seconds, the red LED on the module will flash 1 to 12 times to identify the problem. See the chart below for an explanation of the flashes:

1 flash 10/15 minute time out. Unit should be fine. Make sure

the transmitter is working properly.

2 flashes Unit turned off because Brake or Hood was activated.

Check to make sure the hood pin switch is depressed when the hood is closed and the correct brake wire is hooked up.

3 flashes No Tach or Stalled. Review Step 12 and make sure the no

tach/tach wire option is programmed correctly. 4 flashes Received another remote input from the transmitter 5 flashes Transmission was shifted into gear. Move the In-Gear

switch inside the receiver module to the OFF position

(see diagram below for location of In-Gear switch).

Option #7

“Enable” Feature No “Enable” This option cancels the “enable” mode safety feature. The “enable” mode requires that the driver toggle the ON/OFF control switch “OFF” then “ON” each time the driver removes the key from the ignition in order to “enable” the vehicle for remote starter control. This feature guards against undesired starting of the vehicle by remote control. You must keep this option as enable on all GM rear wheel drive and Dodge Dakota vehicles manufactured prior to 1996.

12 flashes The Control Switch was turned off while the starter was

running.

22. Setting Program Features:

The remote starter has many special features available. You will not need to use these special features in most situations. The factory settings will operate most vehicles. You must turn the On/Off control switch to the “OFF” position to program any features. Note that when turning off this control switch, the red LED light will flash a few times, giving the diagnostic code described in the Troubleshooting (Section

21). Wait a few seconds for it to finish before programming your new Options.

2005 Directed Electronics, Inc.

Programming An Option:

If you want the factory setting, DO NOTHING and skip this section. If you want to change one or more of the features, TURN THE ON/OFF CONTROL SWITCH TO THE “OFF” POSITION. Wait for the red LED light to stop flashing, then continue with the following procedures:

A. For options 1-7: Push the white code button on the remote start

module. Each time you push the button the red LED light will flash 1 to 7 times signifying at which feature you are (press it once, the red LED light flashes once. Press it again and it will flash two times. Press it again and it will flash three times, etc., to show what feature you are at).

B. When you are at the feature level you desire, push the start

button on the transmitter for 1 second and the red LED light will flash once to signify you are at the Option setting. You can push the transmitter button again and it will flash twice to signify you are at the Factory setting. Push the transmitter button again and you will go back to the Option setting (one flash).

C. You can choose to change another feature by starting over again

at Step A. After six seconds, the remote starter automatically exits the programming mode (three red LED light flashes).

D. When finished – switch the Control Switch back ON. The red

LED light will flash once.

23. Changing Ignition 2 Function

Many newer vehicles turn off the Ignition 2 wire while the starter is cranking. In these vehicles it is very important to have the remote starter copy the starting sequence of the key exactly; otherwise the vehicle's computer may show a fault code.

v5.3 (27)

To turn the thick GREEN Ignition 2 wire off during crank:

1. Unplug all wires and connections from the remote start module.

2. Open the case of the remote start receiver module.

3. Look for a small IGN2 switch as shown in the diagram below.

4. Move the IGN2 switch to the OFF position.

5. Close the case and plug in all of the wire connectors.

module, hold down the Start button on a 5 button transmitter or the lock/unlock button on a 3 button transmitter until the red LED light and the dash lights come on again for a second. The module has now learned the transmitter code. Release the transmitter button.

. To learn additional transmitters (up to 3 more), immediately

(within 5 seconds) push the start button on another 5-button transmitter or the lock/unlock button on a 3 button transmitter for a few seconds until the red LED light and the dash lights come on for a second again.

E.E.

E. 5 seconds after the last time the transmitter was learned the unit

exits the code-learning stage. (The red LED light, ignition and accessories flash 4 times).

Note:

Teaching the module a new transmitter code will erase all previous codes - so all transmitters must be taught. You have only 5 seconds between transmitters to begin teaching a new transmitter.

The remote start module will turn OFF Ignition 2 while the starter is cranking. Our vehicle wiring database on the web will help you determine the correct IGN 2 wire for your vehicle.

SPECIAL CASES

1) How to Use a Relay

Many of the optional steps require a relay to be hooked up. The most common relay used for this type application is the Bosch type relay (Radio Shack Cat.# 275-226). Use the following diagram for a typical hookup. If you have another relay then you need to know that pins 85 and 86 in this diagram relate to the coils of the relay. Pin 30 is the ‘common’, and pin 87 is the ‘normally open’ contact. If your relay has a pin 87A in the middle it is the normally closed contact and is only used for lock/unlock situations. (The diagram is typical for an Ignition 3 or trunk application). Relays with only four terminals, such as RS-275-226 will NOT work for reverse polarity door locks or starter kill.

3) Factory Anti-Theft Systems

Many vehicles come with an anti-theft system that must be temporarily bypassed for the vehicle to be remotely started. Some systems use a resistor in the key. Others use a transponder - a small device in the key that communicates a high security code to the vehicle before the vehicle will successfully start.

Check the list of vehicles and the types of security systems on the following page. If your vehicle is listed, your vehicle has an AntiTheft System that the remote starter MUST temporarily bypass in order to start the vehicle. More information about the factory antitheft systems and vehicle wire colors can be found at the DesignTech web page

The Universal Alarm Bypass Module, sold under part #20402 or #29402 will temporarily bypass a factory anti-theft system when using the remote starter. Vehicle-specific anti-theft bypass modules and door lock modules are also available. Check with your local retailer/ installer to purchase the Universal Alarm Bypass Module or vehiclespecific anti-theft or door lock modules.

2) Code Learning

Your transmitter is factory coded to the remote starter module with over 16,000,000 different codes. The remote starter module can learn the codes of up to 4 different transmitters. If you want to add additional transmitters to the receiver or if it does not respond to your transmitter, follow the steps below to teach the receiver the transmitter code(s):

A. Turn the Control Switch ON. B.B.

B. Push the red "code learn" button to the right of the red LED light.
