    This testing should be performed by an authorized Directed Electronics dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in XM1-1 AUTO AUTO this product installation guide.
  • Page 6 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. OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF OPERATION.

    One 4-button 1-way transmitter (P/N 474P) • A Stinger™ DoubleGuard® two-stage shock sensor • A Revenger™ Soft Chirp™ six-tone programmable siren • A status LED indicator light • A push-button Valet® switch • A shut-down toggle switch © 2009 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.

  • Page 8: Installation Points To Remember

    The advantage to using a D2D interface is that there is less wiring involved in the installation. Check the Xpresskit module installation guide to determine which wires are not needed, and which options are available. For more infor- mation visit www.xpresskit.com. © 2009 Directed Electronics.

  • Page 11: Status Led

    It is easiest to remove a small panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel, before drilling a 9/32-inch hole. • Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This lets mechanics or other installers remove the panel without cutting the wires. © 2009 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.

  • Page 12: Making Your Wiring Connections

    If you use tapping connectors such as T-Taps (not to be confused with Scotch- Locks), avoid using them in higher-current applications (constant 12V, ground, etc.) These connectors are inferior in quality and should be avoided. © 2009 Directed Electronics. All rights reserved.
