  • Page 5: Installation Points To Remember

    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.

  • Page 6: Deciding On Component Locations

    deciding on component locations locations for the siren Some things to remember about mounting the siren: Keep it away from heat sources, such as radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields. Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its wires should be difficult to find.

  • Page 7: Locations For Stinger Doubleguard Shock Sensor

    The higher the control module is in the vehicle, the better the transmitter range will be. If you put the control module under a seat or inside a metal dashboard, range will diminish. Some good control module locations: above the glove box, inside the center console, above the under-dash fuse box, above the radio, etc.

  • Page 8: Locations For The Status Led

    locations for valet/program switch IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where this switch is located and how to disarm the system with it. Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well hidden.

  • Page 9: Locations For The Optional Starter Kill Relay

    locations for the optional starter kill relay If optional starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the under-dash panel, they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason, routing the optional starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.

  • Page 10: Finding The Starter Wire

    finding the 12V switched ignition wire The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer). Accessory wires lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current available to the starter motor.

  • Page 11: Finding The Tachometer Wire

    finding the accessory wire An accessory wire will show +12V when the key is in the accessory and run positions. It will not show +12V during the cranking cycle. There will often be more than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. The correct accessory wire will power the vehicle's climate control system.

  • Page 12: Finding The Door Pin Switch Circuit

    finding a (+) parking light wire The (+) parking light wire is often found near the switch. Many cars have the switch built into the turn signal lever, and in these cars the parking light wire can be found in the steering column. The same wire is often avail- able in the kick panel or running board.

  • Page 13: Making Your Wiring Connections

    Once you have determined the wire color, the easiest place to connect to the wire is often at the kick panel, at the windshield pillar, or in the running board. When an easy location is not available, running a wire to the dome- light itself is often the best solution.

    H1/3 WHITE/BLUE remote start (-) activation input This input comes from the factory set to 2 activation pulses. This means that it is necessary to have 2 consecu- tive ground pulses on the white/blue wire for the remote start to activate or to deactivate. The same holds true for the remote control activation when set to a two pulse setting it is necessary to press the button twice for the remote start to activate or deactivate.

    relay key switch interface wire connection guide The five heavy gauge wires coming from the large connector are used to energize high current circuits in the vehicle. It is crucial that these connections are well-made and capable of handling the current demands. For this reason, Scotch-Locks, T-taps and other such connectors are strongly discouraged.

  • Page 26 H3/3 BROWN (+) brake switch input, zone 1 This wire MUST be connected to the vehicle's brake light wire. This is the wire that shows (+) 12V when the brake pedal is depressed. The remote start will be disabled or shut down any time the brake pedal is depressed. This wire will also trigger the security system if the brake pedal is pressed while the system is armed and will report Zone 1.

  • Page 27: Neutral Safety Switch Interface

    neutral safety switch interface Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. Instead, a mechanical neutral safety switch that physically interrupts the starter wire is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear. If the remote start is inter- faced before this switch, it will provide protection from starting in gear.
  • Page 28 If the starter engages and the vehicle is a General Motors product or Dodge Dakota pickup, refer to the follow- ing text and diagrams for an alternative shut-down method which will prevent the starter from engaging. If the vehicle is not a General Motors product or a Dodge Dakota pickup, please call Directed Electronics Technical Support for an alternative shut-down method.

    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 it will work properly with these vehi- cles.
