warning! Verify that the vehicle is set to
park and that the parking brake is set
before beginning installation.

warning! On vehicles with air bags or sup­plemental restraint systems (SRS) you may
notice a bright yellow tube with small wires
in it marked SRS underneath the steering
column near the key cylinder. DO NOT
tamper or unplug these for any reason to
prevent costly damages to the vehicle or
personal injury. Tampering may cause
unintended deployment of airbags.

warning! This system is intended for auto­matic, fuel-injected vehicles only. Installation
in any other vehicle is contrary to its intend­ed use.

The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:

➤ Due to the complexity of this system, installation of this

product must only be performed by an authorized Directed
Electronics dealer.

➤ When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via

a command signal from the remote control transmitter.
Therefore, never operate the system in an area that does not
have adequate ventilation. The following precautions are the
sole responsibility of the user; however, authorized Directed
Electronics dealers should make the following recommenda­tions to all users of this system:

1. Never operate the system in an enclosed or partially
enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage).

2. When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area
or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote start
system must be disabled using the installed toggle
switch.

3. It is the user's sole responsibility to properly handle and
keep out of reach from children all remote control trans­mitters to assure that the system does not unintention­ally remote start the vehicle.

outlined in this installation guide, (1) Never remotely start
the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely
start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. The user will
be responsible for having the neutral safety feature of the
vehicle periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not
remotely start while the car is in gear. This testing should be
performed by an authorized Directed Electronics dealer in
accordance with the Safety Check outlined in this product
installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote
start operation immediately and consult with the user to fix
the problem immediately.

➤ After the remote start module has been installed, test the

remote start module in accordance with the Safety Check
outlined in this installation guide. If the vehicle starts when
performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the
remote start unit has not been properly installed. The remote
start module must be removed or properly reinstalled so that
the vehicle does not start in gear. All installations must be
performed by an authorized Directed Electronics dealer.

before the installation

➤ Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the

installation. The installation of this remote start system

requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many

new vehicles use low-voltage or multiplexed systems that can

be damaged by low-resistance testing devices, such as test

lights and logic probes (computer safe test lights). Test all

circuits with a high-quality digital multi-meter before

making connections.

➤ Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-

coded radio. If equipped with an air bag, avoid disconnecting

the battery if possible. Many airbag systems will display a

diagnostic code through their warning lights after they lose

power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be

erased, which can require a trip to the dealer.

➤ Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally

draining the battery.

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

after the installation

➤ Test all functions. The "Using Your System" section of the

Owner's Guide is very helpful when testing.

➤ Complete the vehicle

obtaining constant 12V

We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+)

terminal of the battery, or the constant 12V supply to the igni-

tion switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connec-

tion. If the fuse will also be powering other circuits, such as door

locks, a power window module, or a Nite-Lite

®

headlight control

system, fuse accordingly.

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!

Do not remove the fuse holder on the
red 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.

➜

IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!

Do not use a 12V test light or logic
probe (computer safe test light) to locate these wires!
All testing described in this manual assumes the use of
a digital multimeter.

finding the starter wire

The starter wire provides 12V directly to the starter or to a relay

controlling starter. In some vehicles, it is necessary to power a

cold start circuit. A cold start circuit will test exactly like a starter

circuit, but it does not control the starter. Instead, the cold start

circuit is used to prime the fuel injection system for starting when

the vehicle is cold.

Use the following procedure to find the starter wire with your

multimeter:

1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).

2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The

steering column is an excellent place to find this wire.

Remember you do not need to

interrupt the starter at the same

point you test it. Hiding the

control module and connections is

always recommended.

4. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position. Make sure

the car is not in gear! If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the

next step. If it doesn’t, probe another wire.

5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire.

6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it

and go back to Step 3. If the starter does not turn over, you

have the right wire.
