Page 1 This product is intended for installation by a professional installer only! Any attempt to install this product by any person other than a trained professional may result in severe damage to a vehicle’s electrical system and components. © 2006 Directed Electronics, Vista, CA N5301P 05-06...
Page 4: What Is Included
This testing should be performed by an authorized Directed Electronics dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in this product installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult with the user to fix the problem immediately.
Page 5: Installation Points To Remember
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. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.

(they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the heater core (or any other heat sources) and any obvious leaks. ■ Some good control module locations are: Above the glove box, inside the center console, above the under- dash fuse box, or above the radio. © 2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved...

■ It is easiest to remove a small panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel, before drilling a -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. © 2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved...

IMPORTANT! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red wire. It ensures that the control module has its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main power feed. © 2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved...

Page 13: Making Your Wiring Connections
If you use tapping connectors such as 3M T-Taps (not to be confused with Scotch-Locks), avoid using them in higher-current applications (constant 12V, ground, etc.). Some tapping connectors are inferior in quality and should be avoided. © 2006 Directed Electronics—all rights reserved...
