To use the LED test probe:
1. Remove the protective cover off the probe tip. Save the
protective cover for reinstallation on the probe tip when
the LED tester is not being used.
2. Connect the Black clip to a good chassis ground.
3. Connect the Red clip to a good +12V source. Both the
Red and Green LEDs should be illuminated dimly.
4. If a positive voltage source is probed, the Red LED will
illuminate brightly, and the Green LED will extinguish.
5. If a negative source is probed the Green LED will illu-
minate brightly and the Red LED will extinguish.
Alternate procedure to use the LED test probe (only for use on
probing positive voltage wires):
1. Remove the protective cover off the probe tip. Save the
protective cover for reinstallation on the probe tip when
the LED tester is not being used.
2. Connect the Black clip to a good chassis ground.
3. If a positive voltage source is probed, the Red LED will
illuminate brightly.
note: Do not use this test probe on computerized equip­ment or on the tachometer wiring as damage can result.

step 1
Ground Wire
The BLACK (H1/5) wire on the main 8-pin harness is ground.
First strip back a ¾-inch section of the insulation off the BLACK
wire and crimp a ring terminal (not provided) to that wire.
Locate a clean, paint-free metal surface in the drivers kick panel.
Using a self-tapping screw, drill the screw with the ring terminal
to the metal area. Once screwed down, pull on the wire to ensure
a good connection.
note: More problems are attributed to poor ground con­nections than any other cause. Take extra care to ensure the ground is a clean metal-to-metal contact and secure.

Constant Power and Ignition wires
Almost all power and ignition wires can be found behind the key
cylinder under the lower drivers side dash panel. Using the
appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel using care
not to break any parts. If the panel does not come off easily
check for any additional screws you may have missed.
Once the lower dash panel has been removed, locate the ignition
harness at the back of the key cylinder. This is usually a group of
thicker wires. With the ignition harness exposed, use your LED
tester to find your power and ignition wires.
Place the black lead of the test probe to a clean metal surface in

the kick panel area and secure it. Probe one of the thicker gauge
wires. The color and identity of your specific vehicle wiring can
be obtained at www.designtech-intl.com. With the key in the off
position, test the suspect wire. The constant power wire will illu-
minate the Red LED on the test probe.
Once the constant power wire has been identified, solder the two
heavy gauge RED wires from the control module (relay heavy
gauge) to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.
With the test probe black lead still in the kick panel, locate the
ignition wire in the same location. It will test differently than
note: If the vehicle has two constant power wires, utilize both constant power wires. Connect one of the heavy gauge RED wires to one of the constant power wires and the other heavy gauge RED wire to the other constant power wire.
warning! Before making any connection to constant battery power make sure that the two green 30 amp fuses are removed from the fuse holders on the two thick red wires (heavy gauge wires). Failure to do so may cause fire or shorting of sensitive elec­trical components.

constant (+)12 volts. Locate the suspected wire using the
www.designtech-intl.com Web site and place the red lead of the
test probe on the suspected wire. With the key in the off position
the probes LED will be off. Turn the key to the on position and
the LED tester will illuminate Red. Now watching your probe,
turn the key to the crank position. If the LED extinguishes this
is not an ignition wire but an accessory wire. If the wire tests
correctly, solder the thick PINK (4) wire of the heavy gauge wires
to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.
If the vehicle requires more than one ignition as per the Web site
information follow the same test procedure and solder the thick
PINK/WHITE (6) wire of the heavy gauge wires to it and wrap
the connection with electrical tape. If your vehicle has only 1
ignition source, secure the PINK/WHITE out of the way.
If your vehicle requires more than two ignitions, an additional
relay (not provided) is required. Refer to the diagram below.

Accessory and Starter wires
The starter and accessory wires will be located in the same harness
as the ignition and constant power.
To find the accessory wire leave the LED tester black lead
connected to the metal ground, take the red lead and probe the
wire suspected to be the accessory. With the key off, your test
probe’s LED should be off. Turn the key to the on position and
the LED tester should be illuminated Red. Now turn the key to
the crank position. If you have the correct accessory wire the LED
will extinguish while the starter is cranking and return once the
key returns to the on position. If the wire tests correctly, strip the

the vehicle does not start, the correct wire has been identified.
Reconnect both ends the starter wire while soldering the thick
VIOLET (1) wire of the heavy gauge wires to it and wrap the
connection with electrical tape.
Many Nissan vehicles have two starter wires. A relay (not provided)
is required to hook up the additional starter wire. Refer to the
diagram below.

Safety Shutdown Wires
With all ignition wires properly connected, find the appropriate
safety shutdown wires. These are the brake wire and hood pin wires.
First locate the factory brake wire using your test probe. Find the
switch at the top of the metal arm coming off the brake pedal.
There are usually two wires connected to that switch. Locate the
warning! These wires are meant to protect the vehicle and anyone near the vehicle. They
mmuusstt
be connected appropriately to prevent damage to the vehicle and possible bodily injury. Failure to properly install these wires may cause the vehicle to lunge if remote started while in gear.

wire color according to the web information. With your black
test probe lead still in the kick panel, probe the suspected wire
with the red lead of your test probe. With the brake pedal at rest
the LED tester should be extinguished. While watching the test
probe, depress the brake pedal. The LED tester should illumi-
nate Red. Once you have located the correct brake wire, solder
the small BROWN (H1/3) wire of the main harness to it and
wrap the connection with electrical tape.
Installing the hood pin switch requires drilling a ¼-inch hole in the
metal lip under the hood. Choose a location that will allow the pin
switch to be depressed when the hood is closed. The pin switch has
a spade connector on the bottom for the wire connection.
warning! Do not use the vehicle until you confirm the operation of the brake shut­down.
22
© 2006 Directed Electronics
Place the wire with the spade connector onto the pin switch and
run the wire into the vehicle’s passenger compartment through a
factory rubber grommet. Using a sharp, pointed object poke a
hole into the grommet and attach the wire to the object with
electrical tape. Pull the wire through the grommet taking extra
care to keep the wire away from any moving parts or anything
that will generate extreme heat. Once the wire is run into the
vehicle and secured from any moving parts, solder the wire to
the GRAY (H1/4) wire of the main harness and wrap the
connection with electrical tape.
The bypass toggle switch is designed to bypass the remote start
in an emergency or to disable the remote start functions
temporarily (i.e., for service on the vehicle or when parking in an
enclosed area). This switch is to be mounted in an easily acces-
sible location in the passenger compartment.
Connect the toggle switch as shown below. The Gray (H1/4)
wire to the hood pin switch, and the Black wire from the switch
to ground. The toggle switch must be in the Off position for
normal operation.
warning! This wire MUST be connected. Do not use the vehicle until you confirm the oper­ation of the hood pin shutdown. Improper operation could result injury or death.

Parking light flash
There are several different types of parking light circuits. The
following description is for a standard positive-triggered parking
light circuit, only. If the web vehicle information suggests a (-)
parking light circuit, the fusible jumper (under the sliding door
on the control module) must be moved to the opposite position.
The default position for this jumper is for a positive parking
light. Refer to the LED test probe procedures if you have a negative
parking light circuit.
note: When parking lights are connected, they will flash for the whole time that remote start is active.

Using the web information on the vehicle, locate the suspected
wire and place the red lead of the test probe to a constant (+)12
volt source and secure it. Leave the black test probe lead in the
kick panel,. Probe the suspected wire with the test probe. With
the switch in the off position the test probe should have both
LEDs illuminated dimly. While watching the test probe LEDs,
turn the switch to the parking light position. The test probe’s
green LED should illuminate and the red LED should extin-
guish. While testing the suspected wire, run the dash dimmer
light control up and down—the voltage should NOT vary (the
green LED should stay illuminated and the red LED should stay
off). If the voltage does vary, continue probing to find the
correct wire.
Once you have identified the correct wire, solder the WHITE
(H1/8) wire of the main harness to it and wrap the connection
with electrical tape.

Door Locks
The system comes with a built in relay pack for door lock oper-
ation. When attempting to interface the power door locks with
your system it is important to understand that there are multiple
types of door locking systems in today's vehicles. To determine
your vehicle’s power door lock system, check the web information
on your vehicle.
If your door lock system is a different type than described in this
guide, go to www.designtech-intl.com (On-Line Tech Support,
Tech Tips) to download the door lock systems guide. This guide
identifies the type of system for your vehicle. With the built in door
lock relays you can properly interface the power locks with your
keyless entry/remote start system. If you are unable to identify your
door lock system with the web information please contact Directed
Technical Support.
Although there are numerous types of door lock circuits, the
most common is the negative triggered door lock system (Type
B). If your vehicle has a negative triggered door lock system,
follow the steps below. If your vehicle has any other type of door
lock system then, the easiest way to determine which type of
door lock system you are working with is to remove the master
locking switch itself, which is usually on the driver’s door or on
the center console. Once you have determined which type of
factory door lock circuit you are working with, and the color
codes of the switch wires to be used, you can usually simplify the
27
© 2006 Directed Electronics
installation by locating the same wires in the vehicle’s kick panel.
If no central locking switch is found, the installation may require
a door lock actuator.
There are eight common types of door lock circuits (some vehi-
cles use more unusual systems):
TTyyppee AA::
Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays.
Most GM, some Ford and Chrysler, 1995 Saturn, some new
VW, newer BMW.
TTyyppee BB::
Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays.
Most Asian vehicles, early Saturn, some BMW and Porsche.
TTyyppee CC::
Direct-wired reversing-polarity switches. The switch-
es are wired directly to the motors. This type of system has no
factory relays. Most Fords, many GM two-door cars and trucks,
many Chryslers.
TTyyppee DD::
Adding one or more aftermarket actuators. These
include slave systems without an actuator in the driver’s door,
but with factory actuators in all the other doors. Type D also
includes cars without power locks, which will have actuators
added. All Saabs before 1994, all Volvo except 850i, all pre-1997
Subarus, most Isuzus, and many Mazdas. Some mid-eighties
Nissans, pre-1985 Mercedes-Benz and Audi.
TTyyppee EE::
Electrically-activated vacuum systems. The vehicle
note: Always retest the wires in the kick panel to be sure they function the same way as the wires on the switch.

must have a vacuum actuator in each door. Make sure that lock-
ing the doors from the driver's or passenger side using the key
activates all the actuators in the vehicle. This requires a slight
modification to the door lock harness. Mercedes-Benz and Audi
1985 and newer.
TTyyppee FF::
One-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock. This
system is found in late-model Nissan Sentras, some Nissan
240SX, and Nissan 300ZX 1992 and later. It is also found in
older Mitsubishis, and some early Mazda MPV’s.
TTyyppee GG::
Positive (+) multiplex. This system is most common-
ly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door
lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two
resistors.
TTyyppee HH::
Negative (-) multiplex. The system is most common-
ly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door
lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two
resistors.
at the door lock switch
Three-wire switches will have either a constant ground input or
a constant (+)12V input, along with the pulsed lock and unlock
outputs to the factory relays.
Many BMW’s and VW’s have no external switch. The switch-
es are inside the actuator, and instead of pulsing, the proper
wires will flip-flop from (+)12V to (-) ground as the door locks
are operated.
Direct-wired switches will have a (+)12V constant input and one
or two (-) ground inputs, along with two output leads going

The switch will have three wires on it, and one wire will test
ground all the time. One wire will pulse (-) when the switch
locks the doors, and the other wire will pulse (-) when the switch
unlocks the doors. This type of system is difficult to mistake for
any other type.

Use these instructions if the power door lock switch has four or
five heavy-gauge wires. This type of switch has two outputs that
rest at (-) ground.
important: To interface with these systems, you must cut two switch leads. The relays must duplicate the factory door lock switches’ operation. The master switch will have one or two ground inputs, one (+)12V input, and two switch outputs going directly to the slave switch and through to the motors. These outputs rest at (-) ground. The lock or unlock wire is switched to (+)12V, while the other wire is still grounded, thus completing the circuit and powering the motor. This will disconnect the switch from the motor before supplying the motor with (+)12V, avoiding sending (+)12V directly to (-) ground.

It is critical to identify the proper wires and locate the master
switch to interface properly. Locate wires that show voltage when
the switch is moved to the lock or unlock position. Cut one of
the suspect wires and check operation of the locks from both
switches. If one switch loses all operation in both directions then
you have cut one of the correct wires and the switch that is
entirely dead is the master switch. If both switches still operate
in any way and one or more door motors have stopped
responding entirely, you have cut a motor lead. Reconnect it and
continue to test for another wire. Once both wires have been
located and the master switch identified, cut both wires and
interface as described in the following paragraphs.
HH22//22 WWHHIITTEE//BBLLAACCKK::
Once both door lock wires are
located and cut, connect the white/black wire to the master
switch side of the lock wire. The master switch side will show
(+)12V when the master switch is operated to the lock position
and (-) ground when the master switch is in the middle position.
HH22//33 GGRREEEENN//BBLLAACCKK::
Connect the green/black wire to
the other side of the lock wire. This is the motor side of the lock
wire and it goes to the lock motor through the slave switch.
caution: If these wires are not connected properly, you will send (+)12V directly to (-) ground, possibly damag­ing the alarm or the factory switch.
33
© 2006 Directed Electronics
HH22//44 VVIIOOLLEETT//BBLLAACCKK::
This wire must be connected to
a constant (+)12 volts. The best connection point for this wire is
the constant (+)12V supply for the door lock switch*, or direct-
ly to the positive (+) battery post with a fuse at the battery post.
HH22//55 BBRROOWWNN//BBLLAACCKK::
Connect the brown/black wire to
the master switch side of the unlock wire. The master switch side
will show (+)12V when the master switch is in the unlock position
and (-) ground when the master switch is in the middle position.
HH22//66 BBLLUUEE//BBLLAACCKK::
Connect the blue/black wire to the
other side of the unlock wire.
HH22//77 VVIIOOLLEETT::
This wire must be connected to a constant
(+)12 volts. The best connection point for this wire is the con-
stant (+)12V supply for the door lock switch*, or directly to the
positive (+) battery post with a fuse at the battery post. (See both
notes above.)
*note: Except in GM cars with retained accessory power (RAP). In these vehicles, the (+)12V feed to the door lock switches is turned off if the doors are closed for any length of time.
note: Most direct-wired power lock systems require 20-30 amps of current to operate. Connecting the violet/black wire to a poor source of voltage will keep the door locks from operating properly.
34

type D: adding one or more after-market actuators
Vehicles without factory power door locks require the installa-
tion of one actuator per door. This requires mounting the door
lock actuator inside the door. Other vehicles may only require
one actuator installed in the driver's door if all door locks are
operated when the driver's lock is used.
note: Adding door lock actuators can be complicated. Please contact Directed technical support prior to attempting the addition of actuators.

This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler
and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder
may contain either one or two resistors.
SSIINNGGLLEE--RREESSIISSTTOORR TTYYPPEE::
If one resistor is used in the door
lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse (+)12V in one direc-
tion and less than (+)12V when operated in the opposite direction.
TTWWOO--RREESSIISSTTOORR TTYYPPEE::
If two resistors are used in the factory
door lock switch/key cylinder, the switch/key cylinder will read
less than (+)12V in both directions.

To
determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key cylinder
must be isolated from the factory door lock system. For testing, use
a calibrated digital multimeter that is set to ohms.
1. Cut the output wire from the door lock switch/key cylinder in half.
2. Test with the meter from the switch side of the cut door lock
switch/key cylinder wire to a reliable constant (+)12V source.

Engine monitoring (voltage—default setting)—optional
During remote start the system will need to know if the engine
is running. The module does this by monitoring the voltage of
the vehicle’s electrical system (or the tachometer-see next topic).
When the vehicle is not running the electrical system is approx-
imately 12 volts. The system detects the engine running when
the voltage increases by 1 volt above the resting battery voltage.
The remote start system monitors the increase to prevent the
starter from cranking when the vehicle is already running.
If the remote start system sees the voltage drop by 1/2V the
system assumes the engine is not running and will shut down the
Ignition/Accessory circuit.

On some vehicles the electrical system has too low of a voltage
variance for the remote start module to see. In this case the
engine will start but will only run for about ten seconds. If this
is the case, it will be necessary to use the tachometer.
Engine monitoring (tachometer)
Identify the suspect wire according to the web information.
note! In the following procedure do NOT use a test light. Use of this type of tester can cause grounding of sensitive electrical components causing damage, including damage to the power train control module. A digital multi-meter is required to test for this wire.
warning! In the following procedure do not wear loose clothing that could get entangled in rotating engine components. Ensure that your hands and arms are well clear of these rotating components when working in the engine compartment. Lastly, ensure that all wires and tools are clear of falling into or entanglement with these rotating components.
42
© 2006 Directed Electronics
Place the black lead of the multi-meter on the negative battery
post and secure it. Put the multi-meter in the AC position and
connect the probe to the suspect wire with the red lead of the
multi-meter. Then start the vehicle with the key. With the
engine at idle the multi-meter should read between .65 volts to
1.5 volts.
Have a second person press the gas pedal to increase the RPMs
and watch the meter display. When the RPMs increase the
voltage should rise slightly. (Not all tachometer outputs will rise
when the engine RPMs increase). Once the correct tachometer
wire has been identified, turn the vehicle off.
Run the Violet/White (H1/2) wire from the main connector
through the firewall into the engine compartment along side the
hood pin wire. Use the same procedure as with the hood pin
wire and pull the wire through the grommet taking extra care to
keep it away from any moving parts or anything that will
generate extreme heat. Once the wire is run into the engine
compartment, strip a small portion of insulation off the
tachometer wire and solder it to the Violet/White wire and wrap
the connection with electrical tape. Pull on the wire to ensure a
good connection.
step 8
Factory Alarm Arm or Disarm
note! For the programming of the tachometer, refer to the Control Module Programming discussion.

Since most newer vehicles come equipped with a factory alarm
system, it is sometimes necessary for the factory alarm to be
armed/disarmed when unlocking the doors and disarmed while
remote starting the vehicle.
Locate the factory alarm arm/disarm wires using the web site
vehicle information. Once the suspect wires are located, place
the multi-meter’s red lead to a (+)12 volt constant source and
secure it. Put the multi-meter in the DC position then probe the
suspect wire with the black lead of your meter. While probing
the wire, place the key in the drivers door cylinder. Turn it to the
unlock position and hold it when testing for the disarm wire.
The LED tester should illuminate Green and will extinguish
when the key is released.
When the correct wire has been found, solder the LIGHT
Green/Black (H1/7) wire of the main harness to the wire which
activates in the unlock position when the key is turned. After this
wire has been connected wrap the connection with electrical
tape.
note: On some vehicles the Factory Alarm Disarm wire is connected to a Body Control Module or a Door Module. If you find this configuration, please call Directed Technical Support at
11--880000--447777--11338822

Immobilizer Bypass Modules
Most newer vehicles have a factory engine immobilizer system
designed to prevent any unauthorized use of the vehicle. These
immobilizers will cut off power to the starter and the fuel supply
preventing a thief from starting the vehicle.
There are several types of immobilizers, with the most common
being the resistance based passlock/passlock 2 systems found on
most newer GM vehicles. This system can be bypassed using the
555L immobilizer bypass module available at your local retail
dealer. The majority of transponder-based immobilizer systems
can be bypassed using the 555U or 556U immobilizer bypass
module available at your local retail dealer.
The BLUE wire (H1/1) of the primary harness supplies a
200mA output as soon as the control module begins the remote
start process. This wire can be used to activate an immobilizer
bypass unit.
note: This unit requires you to use one of your factory keys. You may want to acquire another key from the dealer.
note: Any vehicle equipped with a factory immobilizer must use an immobilizer bypass module to remote start. If not used, the vehicle ignition or fuel supply circuits could lock up and require a costly trip to the dealer to reset the computer system.

To determine what bypass module your vehicle requires, use the
www.designtech-intl.com web-site in the Interface Module Look-
Up section.
step 10
Learning the remote
The system comes with one programmed transmitter. The
receiver can store up to 4 different transmitter codes in memory.
Additional transmitters (part no. 26131) can be ordered by
contacting your local dealer at 1-800-274-0200. Use the
following to add a transmitter to the system.
The following is the basic sequence of steps to remember whenever
programming this unit:
1.
FFuusseess..
Be sure to place the two 30-amp fuses into the relay
harness RED wire fuse holders
2.
KKeeyy..
Turn the ignition to the ON position.
The parking lights will immediately turn on to
indicate transmitter learn mode. After 5-
seconds the parking lights will turn off and
then turn back on to indicate ready to learn
mode.
warning! In the following procedure do not activate the remote start feature with the remote. This feature will be tested in the next step.

3.
PPrrooggrraamm..
Within 10-seconds, press and hold the
button on the transmitter, until the parking lights turn off
and then back on. Now release the button. Repeat
this step within 10-seconds of programming a transmitter to
program additional transmitters to your system.
4.
EExxiitt LLeeaarrnn MMooddee..
After programming the transmitter, wait
10-seconds, the parking lights will turn off. Programming
transmitter(s) is now complete.
important: When programming a remote ensure to hold the remote about 4-feet away from the Directed unit. If the remote is too close to the unit, the remote may not program.
note: A second remote can only be added to the system immediately after programming the first remote.

step 11
Testing the system
Once steps 1-10 have been completed, the operation of the
system can be tested.
Ensure that the two 30-amp fuses are in the relay harness RED
wire fuse holders. Make sure that the vehicle is in park with the
emergency brake on and the hood closed. Press once on the
remote to initiate the remote start function. The parking lights
should flash to confirm the remote start command has been
received, The accessories and ignition should turn on followed
by the starter cranking and the vehicle engine running (this may
take a moment to initiate). Pressing once again on the
remote will shut the engine off.
This completes the testing, if all functions do not work correctly
check your wiring against the manual and verify all connections.
If you still experience problems contact Directed Technical
Support at
11--880000--447777--11338822
.
note: If power has been removed or the fuses removed, the remote(s) will have to again be learned to the system.

- Some European vehicles,
such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi, require longer lock and unlock
pulses to operate the vacuum pump. Programming the system to
provide 3.5 second pulses will accommodate door lock interface
in these vehicles. The default setting is 0.8 second door lock
pulses. See Mercedes-Benz and Audi - 1985 and Newer (Type E

The system is programmed to attempt two starts using
tachometer mode (monitored through the Violet/White wire
[H1/2]). If after the second start attempt the control module did
not see a tachometer input the system will automatically
program itself to voltage engine monitoring mode. Check the
tachometer wiring and then repeat the previous steps for
tachometer programming.
note: If the parking lights never turn on, the unit remains in voltage mode.
