Introduction DB3 is an all-in-one door lock and override module. This guide supports the installation of a DB3 in Remote Start Ready (RSR) mode. This solution offers three (3) configuration options to control your system: 3x OEM Lock Remote Start Activation, RF System or SmartStart (all sold separately).
SmartStart/XL202 installation notes The DB3 Remote Start Ready (RSR) solution offers three (3) configuration options to control your system: 3x OEM Lock Remote Start Activation, RF Kit or SmartStart (both sold separately). This section provides specific installation information for SmartStart and XL202.
Note: Before connecting either the XL202 or SmartStart module to DB3, it is important to ensure that the proper feature and function programming is selected using DirectLink (version 4.5 or higher). Visit www.directechs.com to download the latest version of the application.
Module programming Refer to “LED diagnostics and troubleshooting” for more information and for troubleshooting purposes. Connect the 10-pin, 12-pin and 14-pin harnesses to DB3, then wait until the LED turns ON solid red. Press the Push-to-Start (PTS) button once to turn the ignition ON. The LED flashes orange, then flashes green.

When installing the DB3 in RSR using 3x OEM Lock Remote Start Activation only, there is no aftermarket transmitter on which to press lock/unlock to change the options of the selected feature.
