  • Page 5: Warning! Safety First

    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.
  • Page 6 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.

  • Page 8: Installation Points To Remember

    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 con- trary to its intended use. Before beginning the installation: • Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the in- stallation.
  • Page 9: Virtual Tach

    ➢ 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.

    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.

  • Page 18: Heavy Gauge Relay Interface

    Heavy gauge relay interface The heavy gauge wires are used to energize high current circuits in the vehicle. It is crucial that these connections are made correctly so that they are capable of handling the current demands. For this reason, scotch locks, T-taps and other such connectors should not be used.

  • Page 22: Neutral Safety Switch Interface

    Neutral safety switch interface Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. Instead, the ve hicle has a mechanical neutral safety switch that physically in- terrupts the starter wire and is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear.

  • Page 43 Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? Some immobilizer systems will not allow the vehicle to crank if active. Check connections. The two red heavy gauge input wires on the module should have solid connections. “T-taps”, or “scotch locks” are not recommended for any high current heavy gauge wiring. Also, if the vehicle has more than one 12-volt input wire, then con- nect one red wire to each.
