Page 22 H2/3 WHITE/VIOLET (-) 200mA AUX 1 OUTPUT This wire provides 200 mA programmable output whenever the transmitter but- tons controlling Aux 1 channel is pressed. (See descriptions for Aux 3) Warning! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input, supplied output is only 200mA.
Page 23 • Latched, reset with ignition: Similar to the latched output, this type of output turns On the first time the Aux channel button is pressed, and turns Off the next time the same button is pressed. This type of output additionally stops and resets whenever the ignition is turned On and then Off.
Page 24 Note: A 1-amp diode must be installed in line on the factory wire between the wait-to-start indicator and the ECM. (See the following diagram for details). (+)WAIT-TO-START WIRE © 2008 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.
Page 25: Heavy Gauge, 8-Pin Connector
➤ Heavy Gauge, 8-pin connector There are 8 heavy gauge wires coming from the large 8-pin connector. They are used to energize the ignition circuits in the vehicle. It is crucial to ensure that these connections are capable of handling the current demands. For this reason, Scotch-Locks, T-taps and other such connectors are strongly discouraged.
Page 26 H3/7 PINK/BLACK FLEX RELAY INPUT 87A key side (if required) of FLEX RELAY This wire is used when an ignition switch isolation on the vehicle is necessary. This is common on Toyota and Nissans which required the use of Tech Tip document #1077.

Page 30: Door Lock Wire Diagrams
➤ Door lock wire diagrams Important: Depending on the vehicle, the door locks may be con- trolled by an optional data bus expansion module. If so, no door lock interface wiring is required. There are eight different types of door lock systems (Type A - H). Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays.
Page 31: 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 interrupts the starter wire and is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear. If the remote start is interfaced before this switch, it will provide protection from starting in gear.
Page 32: Plug-In Led And Valet/Program Switch
Plug-in LED and valet/program switch The LED and valet switch are incorporated into the control center the LED line will plug into the white 2-pin port and the Valet switch line will plug into the blue 2-pin port. Note Onboard LED and valet switch can be substituted with an optional out- board LED (P/N 8634 for Blue LED and 8633 for red LED) and an outboard valet switch (P/N 8631).
Page 33: Tachometer Settings
Tachometer settings ➤ Virtual tach To program Virtual Tach: After the install is complete, remote start the car. If the car does not start on the first attempt, let the remote start attempt again. Once the car starts, let it run until the parking lights come on. When the parking lights come on, shut off the remote start with the remote - that's it! Virtual Tach is programmed.
Page 34: Tach Learning
➤ Tach learning To learn the tach signal: 1. Start the vehicle with the key. 2. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the Valet/Program switch. 3. After 3 seconds the LED will light constant when the tach signal is learned. 4.
Page 35: Tach Threshold On/Off
➤ Tach threshold On/Off In most cases, this jumper can be left in the Off position. Some new vehicles use less than 12 volts in their ignition systems. The unit may have trouble learning the tach signal in these vehicles. Changing the jumper to the On setting changes the trigger threshold of the digital tach circuit so that it will work with these type vehicles.
Page 36: Setting The Light Flash Polarity
Setting the light flash polarity Light flash (+) / (-) polarity The internal fuse is used to determine the light flash output. In the (+) position, the onboard relay will output (+)12V on the WHITE wire, H1/11. In the (-) position, the on-board relay will supply a (-) output When wiring into a multiplex circuit, you can replace the fuse with a resistor (paying attention to the polarity setting).
Page 37: Remote Control Learn Routine
Remote control learn routine The system comes with a 1-way and a 2-way remote control that are already programmed to the system. The system can store up to 4 different remote control codes in memory. The remote uses a Supercode Protocol and requires setup before programming the system.
Page 38 The Valet/Program switch, plugged into the blue port, is used for programming. There is a basic sequence to remember whenever programming this unit: Door, Key, Choose, Transmit and Release. Insert the key. Turn the ignition to the ON position. The heavy gauge pink wire must be con- nected.
