Warning! Safety first
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. 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:
Never use a test light or logic probe when installing this unit. Always use •
a multimeter.
Never operate the system in an enclosed or partially enclosed area without •
ventilation (such as a garage).
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. It is the user’s sole responsibility to properly handle
and keep out of reach from children all remote controls to assure that the
system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle.
USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT •
THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE. ALL DOORS LEADING
FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY
ENCLOSED VEHICLE STORAGE AREA MUST REMAIN CLOSED AT ALL
TIMES.
Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may
result in property damage, personal injury, or death. Except when performing
the Safety Check 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 is 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 opera-

tion 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.
OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN
GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE

Installation points to remember
Important:
This product is designed for fuel-injected,
automatic transmission vehicles only. Installing it in a
standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use.
Before beginning 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 dome light fuse. This prevents accidentally draining •
the battery.
Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the vehicle.•
After the installation:
Test all functions. The “Using Your System” section of the Owner’s •
Guide is very helpful when testing.
Complete the vehicle •
Safety Check outlined in this manual prior
to the vehicle reassembly.

➢Virtual tach
Virtual Tach is the default RPM-sensing method for new remote start
systems. Virtual Tach gives the installer the performance of a hardwired
tach wire, with the convenience of voltage sensing. It is far superior to
any voltage-sense feature you’ve tried before.
Virtual Tach monitors the cranking voltage of the vehicle using a very
fast micro-controller and an analog-to-digital converter. The microprocessor “saves” the base voltage as a reference. When Virtual Tach
“sees” the slightest uptick in voltage, indicating that the alternator is
charging the battery, the starter motor shuts off instantly.
➢ D2D
The system has the ability to interface with an Xpresskit module through
the D2D port. The advantage to using a D2D interface is that there
is less wiring involved in the installation. Check the Xpresskit module
Installation Guide to determine which wires are not needed, and which
options are available. For more information see www.xpresskit.com.

Component locations and finding wires
For detailed information on where to locate components, and how
to find the wires you need, please refer to the Direct Tech web site at
www.directechs.com.
Making your wiring connections
Before making your connections, plan how your wires will be routed
through the vehicle. For instance, the red 12V constant input and the remote start igni tion wires are often routed together to the ignition switch
harness. In order to keep the wiring neat and make it harder to find,
you may wish to wrap these wires together in electrical tape or conceal
them in tubing similar to what the manufacturer used.
There are two acceptable ways of making a wire connection - solder
connections and crimp connectors. When properly performed, either
type of connection is reliable and trouble-free. Regardless of whether
you solder your connections or you use mechanical type crimp-on connections, ensure that all connections are mechanically sound and that
they are insulated, especially when connecting data lines in the vehicle.
Cheap electrical tape, especially when poorly applied, is not a reliable insu lator. It often falls off in hot weather. Use good quality electrical tape or heat shrink.
Never twist-and-tape the wires together without soldering. •
Never use “fuse taps”, as they can damage fuse box terminals. •
If you use tapping connectors such as T-Taps (not to be confused with
Scotch-Locks), avoid using them in higher-current applications (constant
12V, ground, etc.) These connectors are inferior in quality and should
be avoided.

(-) FACTORY ALARM DISARM
This wire sends a 200mA negative pulse every time the remote start
is activated or the doors are unlocked. This can be used to pulse the
disarm wire of the vehicle’s factory anti-theft device. Use a relay to send
a (-) or (+) pulse to the disarm wire as shown in the following diagram

GREEN/WHITE (-) FACTORY REARM
This wire sends a 200mA negative pulse every time the remote start
shuts down or the doors are locked. This can be used to pulse the arm
wire of the vehicle’s factory anti-theft device. Use a relay to send a (-)
or (+) pulse to the arm wire.
H1/3
YELLOW (+) IGNITION OUT (TO ALARM)
As a stand-alone system:
The H1/3 YELLOW wire should not be con-
nected to anything.
As an add-on car starter:
If connected, disconnect the ignition/accessory input of the remote controlled security or keyless entry system.
Connect the H1/3 YELLOW ignition output to the ignition/accessory
input of the remote controlled security or keyless entry system. The wire
will prevent the host system from sensing that the ignition is on during
remote start operation.

H1/4
WHITE/BLUE (-) ACTIVATION INPUT
This input comes from the factory set to 1 activation pulse. This means
that it is necessary to have 1 ground pulse on the white/blue wire for
the remote start to activate or to deactivate. It is not mandatory to connect this wire unless the remote start is being activated by a security or
keyless entry system. An optional push button can also be connected to
this wire to manually activate the remote start.
Note:
The activation pulse count can be programmed to 1, 2, or 3
pulses when changed it will affect both activation inputs; the White/
Blue wire and the remote control activation.
H1/5
ORANGE (-) GROUND WHEN LOCKED OUTPUT
This wire supplies a (-)500 mA ground as long as the system is locked
and when the remote start is activated. (This feature can be turned off
by programming the anti-grind option Off). This output ceases as soon
as the system is unlocked. The ground-when-locked can be hooked up
to an optional starter kill/anti-grind relay control module, a voice module or any accessory that requires a ground-when-armed.

H1/6
BROWN (-) HORN OUTPUT
This wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output that can be used to honk the
vehicle horn. It outputs a single pulse when locking the doors with the
remote, and two pulses when unlocking with the remote. This wire also
outputs pulses for 30 seconds when Panic Mode is activated. If the
vehicle has a (+) horn circuit, an optional relay can be used to interface with the system. (Must be turned On in Programming: See Menu
1, Feature 1.)
H1/7
RED/WHITE (-) TRUNK RELEASE OUTPUT
When the system receives the code controlling trunk release, for longer
than 1.5 seconds, the RED/WHITE wire will supply a (-) 200mA output
as long as the transmission continues. This is often used to operate a
trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven function.
Important:
Never use this wire to drive anything except a relay or low-current input! The transistorized
output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current
device will cause it to fail.
