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 7: What Is Included
What is included • 2 Remote Controls (p/n 7153V) • The control module • Control center with integrated status LED and Valet Override switch (p/n 6111T) • Revenger™ Soft Chirp™ six-tone programmable siren • A remote start defeat toggle switch Installation points to remember This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission, or vehicles with manual transmissions.
Page 8: D2D
➤ D2D The system has the ability to interface with an XK module through the D2D port. The advantage to using a D2D interface is that there is less wiring involved in the installation. Check the XK module installation guide to determine which wires are not needed, and which options are available.
Page 9: Status Led
➤ Status LED The status LED is built into the control center. An optional LED (p/n 8634) is available if the onboard LED is not used for the install. The LED fits into a 9/32-inch hole. ➤ Doubleguard shock sensor Since the shock sensor is built into the main unit, be sure to keep the shock sensor performance in mind when deciding on a location for the main unit.

Wire connection guides ➤ Primary harness (H1) H1/1 RED/WHITE (-) 200mA TRUNK RELEASE OUTPUT When the system receives the code controlling trunk release output for longer than 1.5 seconds, the red/white wire supplies an output as long as the transmis- sion continues.
Page 15 H1/4 WHITE/BROWN LIGHT FLASH -ISOLATION WIRE - PIN 87a of onboard relay This wire connects to pin 87a of the onboard light flash relay. It is used when- ever light switch isolation on the vehicle is necessary. If the vehicle has a mul- tiplex circuit that needs the light switch isolated, you can remove the onboard light flash fuse and replace it with the specified resistor (paying attention to the polarity selection).
Page 16 H1/6 VIOLET (+) DOOR TRIGGER INPUT This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive (+) switched dome light circuit. Connect the violet wire to a wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed. H1/7 BLUE TRUNK PIN / INSTANT TRIGGER INPUT...
Page 17 directly to the dome light circuit, as the output cannot support the current draw of one or more light bulbs. H1/10 WHITE/BLUE (-) REMOTE START/ TURBO TIMER ACTIVATION INPUT This input comes from the factory set to 1 activation pulse. This means that it is necessary to have a single ground pulse on the white/blue wire for the remote start to activate or to deactivate.

(+) Positive Light Flash Output WHITE H1/11 (+) LIGHT FLASH OUTPUT (-) Negative Light Flash Output WHITE H1/11 (-) LIGHT FLASH OUTPUT Note: For parking light circuits that draw 10-amps or more, the internal jumper must be switched to a (-) light flash output. (See Setting the light flash polarity section of this guide.) P/N 8617 or a standard automotive SPDT relay must be used on the H1/11 light flash output harness wire.
Page 19 Relay for Negative (-) Disarm Wire Relay for Positive (+) Disarm Wire H2/2 LIGHT GREEN/WHITE (-) 200mA FACTORY ALARM ARM OUTPUT This wire sends a negative pulse every time the remote start shuts down or when the doors are locked with the remote. This can be used to pulse the arm wire of the vehicle’s factory anti-theft device.
Page 20 H2/5 WHITE/BLACK (-) 200mA AUX 3 OUTPUT This wire provides 200 mA programmable output whenever the transmitter button(s) controlling Aux 3 is pressed. This output can be programmed to provide the following types of outputs • Validity: Output that sends a signal as long as the transmission is re- ceived.
Page 21 WAIT-TO-START bulb in the dashboard. In most diesels the wire is negative (ground turns on the bulb) and the GRAY/BLACK wire can be directly connected to the wire in the vehicle. If the vehicle uses a positive wire (12V to turn on the bulb) a relay must be used to change the polarity.

to be used like a siren output with arm/disarm honks. Refer to System Features Menu#1, Feature 10, for more information. ➤ Heavy Gauge, 10-pin connector There are 9 heavy gauge wires coming from the large 10-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.

H3/7 PINK/WHITE (+) IGNITION 2 FLEX RELAY OUTPUT This wire is factory programmed as Ignition 2 and can be programmed as a 2nd accessory for 2nd starter. H3/8 PINK/BLACK 87a OF IGNITION 2 FLEX RELAY This wire is used when an ignition switch isolation on the vehicle is necessary This is common on Toyota and Nissan's which require the use of Tech Tip docu- ment #1077.
Page 24 VIOLET/WHITE TACHOMETER INPUT WIRE This input provides the module with information about the engine’s revolutions per minute (RPMs). It can be connected to the uncommon colored wire of the fuel injector, the crankshaft position sensor, the camshaft position sensor or the negative side of the coil in vehicles with conventional coils.

Page 26: 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). The more common type of door lock systems are Type A or Type B.
Page 27: 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 28: 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 plugs into the white 2-pin port and the Valet switch line plugs 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 29: Tachometer Settings
Alarm trigger inputs shorter than 0.8 seconds trigger the WarnAway response, while inputs longer than 0.8 seconds triggers the Full Alarm sequence. Note: You need to add a 4-pin plug to interface with any hardwired switches Tachometer settings ➤ Virtual tach To program Virtual Tach: After the install is complete, remote start the car.

The unit is set to the default validity output. To change the configuration use the two-chirp setting to toggle through the different configurations.
Page 49 When set to voltage (2), the unit cranks the starter for the programmed time and then attempts to sense that the engine is running by detecting an increase in volt- age. If programmed OFF (3) the vehicle cranks for the programmed crank time (feature 3-3) and does not verify with tach or voltage that the car is running.

Remote start safety check Before vehicle reassembly, the remote system must be checked to ensure safe and trouble-free operation. The following test procedure must be used to verify proper installation and operation of the system. The installation must be com- pleted before testing, including connection to the brake switch and hood switch.
