IMPORTANT! Before you begin the install process ensure the hardware matches the vehicle and verify the wires needed.

Installation points to remember

This product represents many years of research and development. It is very sophisticated and should be

installed by experienced security installers only. Please do not attempt installation of this product without

reading this guide.

This product is not intended for consumer installation and will have NO WARRANTY unless it is installed

by an authorized dealer. Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft coded radio. If

equipped with an airbag, avoid disconnecting the battery if possible.

IMPORTANT! Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this security system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multiplexed systems which can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights or logic probes. Test all circuits with a high-quality digital multi-meter before making the connections.

IMPORTANT! Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through Their warning light after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, a procedure that can require a trip to the dealer.

Before beginning the installation

■ Check with the customer to determine the LED and Valet switch locations.

■ Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.

WARNING: Before beginning your install go to www.XPRESSVIP.com and be sure to print the LATEST corresponding installation manual for the firmware that is flashed to the platform you are using.

Page 7

After the installation

■ Test all functions. The “Using Your System” section of the Owner's Guide is very helpful when testing.

■ When testing, don’t forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention® Circuitry (NPC). NPC

can bypass both sensor zones, making them appear to stop working.

■ Carefully reassemble the under-dash trim panels.

■ Inspect the engine compartment for tools that may have been left behind.

Tools required

This is a general list of tools required to complete the installation of this security system for most vehicles.

Some vehicles may require additinal tools.

■ Digital multi-meter

■ Nutdriver and/or socket set

■ Wire cutters/strippers

■ Panel removal tool

■ Solderless terminal crimpers

■ Drill bit set

■ Cordless power drill

■ Phillips head screwdriver

■ Torx driver set - Work light

Page 8

Deciding on component locations

Control module

Some things to remember about where to mount the control module

■ Never put the control module in the engine compartment!

■ The first step in wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side under-dash panel to access the starter

and ignition wires. If the control module is placed just behind the driver's side dash it can easily be

disconnected.

■ When mounting the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to extend the

harnesses’ wires (they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the heater core (or any other heat sources)

and any obvious leaks.

■ Some good control module locations are: Above the glove box, inside the center console, above the

under-dash fuse box, or above the radio.

Page 9

Integrated LED/Valet switch

Things to remember when po si tion ing the integrated LED/Valet switch:

■ It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.

■ It needs at least 1-1/2 inch clearance to the rear.

■ It is easiest to remove a small panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel, before drilling a 5/16

inch hole.

Starter kill relay

If the Starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible when removing the underdash panel, they

can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory

wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this

reason, routing the starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.

Page 10

Connecting your wires

Now that you have decided where each component will be located, you’re going to find the wires in the

car that the security system connects to.

IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light to find these wires! Use a digital multimeter for all testing

described in this manual.

Obtaining constant 12V

We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: the (+) 12v terminal of the battery, or the constant

supply to the ignition switch. If you connect the module to the CAN bus wire at the OBD II plug, you can

use the +12 v wire existent in the plug. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection.

IMPORTANT! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red (N1/3)wire. It ensures that the control module

has its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main power feed.

Page 11

Finding a light wire

Find a (-) parking light wire

Use the following procedure to find a (-) parking light flash wire with your multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DV voltage (12V or 20V).

2. Attach the (+) probe of the meter to a fused (+) source.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the parking light wire. Usually, the area near the headlight/

parking light switch is an excellent area to start, as is the kick panel. Refer to the directechs.com for

specific vehicle information.

4. Turn on the parking lights. If your meter shows 12V, turn off the parking lights and make sure it goes

back to zero.

5. If it does return to zero, turn the parking lights back on and, using the dash light dimmer control, turn

the brightness of the dash lights up and down. If the meter changes more than a volt when using the

dimmer, look for another wire. If it stays relatively close to 12V, you have found your parking light wire.

Connect to the battery positive terminal or the constant 12V supply to the ignition switch.

NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain(+)12V. Do not use the supplied fuse in

the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.

N1/2 BLACK - (-) chassis ground connection: Attach this wire to the kick panel or firewall. There

should be no paint, and no factory grounds. Do not use under dash bracing or steering columns as ground

points.

Page 13

N1/3 RED/WHITE – (-) 200mA auxiliary channel: If programmed for an auxiliary output, this wire will

provide a (-) pulse when the lock button is pressed twice between 3 and 7 seconds. This output can be

used to control optional accessories (see programming features).

IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! This transistorized

output can only supply (-) 200mA and connecting directly to a solenoid, motor or other high current device

will cause the module to fall.

N1/4 BLUE – (-) Instant trigger: This input will respond to a negative input with an instant trigger.

Connect this wire to a pin switch for those vehicles that do not have hood status on the CAN Bus. (Check

this on vehicle application list or on the website).

N1/5 ORANGE – (-) 500mA ground-when-armed output: This wire supplies a (-) 500mA ground as long

as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the system is disarmed. This wire controls operation

of the pre-wired starter-kill and can be used to control other optional accessories.

NOTE: If connecting the orange wire to control another module, such as 529T or 530T window controller, a

1 amp diode (type 1N4004) will be required. Insert the diode as shown bellow.

Yellow to (+) ignition source

N1/6 WHITE – 200mA (-) light flash output: Connect this wire to the light wire (parking light or hazard)

of the vehicle. It will supply a (-) 200mA output. If a positive output is needed use this output to drive

a relay. This output is to be used only for vehicles that do not have lights signals on the CAN Bus. (Check

this on vehicle application list or on the website).

IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! This transistorized

output can only supply (-) 200mA and connecting directly to a high current device will cause the module

to fail.

N1/9 BROWN/WHITE – 200mA (-) Horn honk output: This wire supplies a 200mA (-) output that can be

used to honk the vehicle’s horn. It provides a pulsed output when the security system is armed/disarmed

and in trigger sequence or in panic mode. In most vehicles with (-) horn circuits this wire can control the

vehicle’s horn without adding a relay. If the vehicle has a (+) horn circuit, an optional relay must be used

to interface with the vehicle’s horn circuit.

IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! This tran-

sistorized output can only supply (-) 200mA and connecting directly to a solenoid, motor or other

high current device will cause the module to fall.

Plug-in harnesses

Integrated LED/VALET®/switch, 2-pin BLUE and 2-pin White plugs

The integrated LED VALET®/switch should be accessible from the driver’s seat. The VALET® part of the

switch plugs into the BLUE port on the side of the unit. Check for rear clearance before drilling a

5/16 -inch hole and mounting the swicth. The LED part of the swicth operates a 2V DC and plugs into the

white port on the side of the unit. Make sure the LED wires are not shorted to ground as the LED will be

damaged.

features menus.

Page 17

Data port – Bootloader

The white four-pin port is use to connect USB Bootloader adaptor and computer to download and flash

vehicle specific firmware. A dedicated software has to be install on your computer that can be downloaded

free of charge from the Directed Accessories web site www.expresskit.com.

Four-pin optional sensor harness

RED wire

The red wire supplies constant power to the optional sensor.

BLACK wire

The black wire supplies ground to the optional sensor.

BLUE, GREEN wires

The blue and green wires are multiplex inputs. They are both tied to the same zone. If an input of less than

0.8 seconds is supplied to either wire the Warn-Away response will occur. An input longer than 0.8 seconds

to either wire will initiate the triggered sequence and report zone 4. This port can be used for optional

sensors such as: the 506T – glass breakage sensor, or the 504D – field disturbance sensor.

Page 18

On-board dual stage shock sensor

Less Sensitive

More Sensitive

There is a dual-stage shock sensor inside the control module. Adjustments are made via the rotary control

as indicated above. Since the shock sensor does not work well when mounted firmly to metal, we recom-

mend against screwing down the control module. The full trigger of the on-board shock sensor reports

zone 2. See Table of Zones.

NOTE: When adjusting the sensor, it must be in the same mounting location that it will be after the

install is completed. Adjusting the sensor and than relocating the module requires readjustment.

6 Instant Trigger BLUE N1/4 (-) input

Note: The Warn Away® response does not report on the LED

Page 19

Long-term event history

The control module will store the last two triggers in memory that are not erased when the ignition is

turned on. This can be helpful for troubleshooting false alarm reports. To access the event history use the

following procedure:

1. Turn the ignition switch off and press and hold the integrated LED/VALET® button.

2. While holding the integrated LED/VALET® button turn the ignition On.

3. Release the integrated LED/VALET® button.

4. Within 5 seconds press and release the integrated LED/VALET® button.

The LED will flash in groups indicating the last two zones reported triggered. For example, if zone 2 and

3 were the last two zones to be triggered the LED will flash two times followed by a pause and than flash

three times followed by a pause.

NOTE: The Warn-Away response does not report on the LED.

The Long Term Event History will exit if the ignition is turned off or there is no activity for 60 seconds.

Rapid resume logic

The current state of the alarm will be stored in non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected,

the system will recall the stored state from memory. This applies to all states of the system including arm,

disarm, and VALET® mode. If the unit was powered down while triggered, the control unit will continue to

sound the siren (honk the horn) after power up until the unit is recognizing the vehicle again. If at least

one zone is still active after this, the unit will sound the siren/horn cycle three times, if not disarmed in

the meantime. If no zone is active after the vehicle was recognized, the siren will stop after one siren/horn

cycle, if not disarmed in the meantime.

NOTE: The unit will not sound the siren (honk the horn) after power up, if the panic mode was active

when powered down.

Page 20

Multi-level security arming

Multi-Level Security Arming allows the user to select sensors to be active or bypassed when the system is

armed. Multi-Level Security Arming can only be accessed if the function is set ON (option 3-2)

By pressing the LOCK button more than once within 3 and 7 seconds of arming the system activates Multi-

Level Security Arming. If the LOCK button is pressed again the unit cancels the bypass of the sensors. There

are different security levels which can be selected, as follows:

Step Lock Button pressed Number of Siren/Horn

Chirps

Armed State with Zone Bypassed

1 Once 1 Chirp No Zone Bypassed

2 Twice 3 Chirps, 3 flashses Zone 2 & 4 Bypassed

3 If the Lock button is pressed again anytime, the system will return to step 1.

The user can repeat the steps provided the LOCK button is pressed between 3 and 7 seconds and no other buttons are pressed.

Disarming without the original vehicle remote (system override)

This feature allows you to override the system without the transmitter should it be lost, damaged or

disabled. To do this, you must have the vehicle’s ignition key and know where the integrated LED/VALET®

switch is located.

Turn the ignition to the “run” position. Press and release the integrated LED/VALET® switch the programmed

number of time (1-5), within 10 seconds. After a few seconds the LED will stop flashing and the vehicle

should start. If it does not, you may have waited too long. Turn the ignition off and try again.

Page 21

Note: On some vehicles, the security system can be armed using the ignition key for the driver’s door

cylinder but can not be disarmed in the same way. The system can only be disarmed using the ignition key

for the driver’s door cylinder only if remote start status is active.

Note: The setting for the number of times the Valet switch must be pressed is set in the Feature Programming

section of this guide.
