Page 4: 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 transmitter. -
Page 5: Installation Points To Remember
installation points to remember IMPORTANT! This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only. Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use. Before beginning the installation: ■ Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remote start system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. -
Page 6: Finding The Wires You Need
finding the wires you need IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light or logic probe (computer safe test light) to locate these wires! All testing described in this manual assumes the use of a digital multimeter. obtaining constant 12V We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant 12V supply to the ignition switch. -

5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. 6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it and go back to Step 3. If the starter does not turn over, you have the right wire. finding the 12V switched ignition wire The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. -
Page 8: Finding A (+) Parking Light Wire
finding a (+) parking light wire Most vehicles use a (+) parking light circuit. The (+) parking light wire is often found near the light switch. In many vehicles the light switch is built into the turn signal lever; in these vehicles the parking light wire can be found in the steering column. -

can use a fuel injector control wire for engine speed sensing. Common locations for a tachometer wire are the ignition coil itself, the back of the gauges, engine computers, and automatic transmission computers. IMPORTANT! Do not test tachometer wires using a test light or logic probe. The vehicle will be damaged. -

Page 12: Primary Harness (H1), 9-Pin Connector
primary harness (H1), 9-pin connector H1/1 LIGHT GREEN/BLACK (-) factory alarm disarm This wire sends a negative pulse every time the remote start is activated or the doors are unlocked. This can be used to pulse the disarm wire of the vehicle's factory anti-theft device. Use a relay to send a (-) or (+) pulse to the disarm wire as shown in the following diagrams. -
Page 13: H1/5
NOTE: When the activation pulse count can be programmed to 1, 2, or 3 pulses when changed it will affect both activation inputs; the White/Blue, White/Red wire and the remote control activation. H1/5 GRAY/BLACK (-) diesel wait-to-start bulb input Connect this wire to the wire in the vehicle that sends the signal to turn on the WAIT-TO-START bulb in the dash- board. -
Page 14: H1/6
H1/6 WHITE/RED (+) activation input This input comes from the factory set to 1 activation pulse. This means that it is necessary to have one 12V pulse on the white/red wire for the remote start to activate or to deactivate. The same holds true for the remote control activation when set to a one pulse setting it is necessary to press the button once for the remote start to acti- vate or deactivate. -
Page 15: H1/9
H1/9 WHITE (+/-) light flash output IMPORTANT: Do NOT connect this wire to a negative vehicle light flash wire before changing the programming jumper to the negative polarity position or damage to the vehicle light circuit may occur. As factory configured, the H1/9 WHITE wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire. If the light flash polarity jumper is moved to the (-) position (refer to the Programming Jumper section of this guide), this wire then supplies (-) 200mA output. -
Page 16: 4-Pin Satellite Harness
4-Pin Satellite Harness Blue (-) Status Output When the remote start goes active this wire supplies a (-) 200mA output. It can be used to activate an immo- bilizer bypass or key sense. (-) Accessory Output This output supplies (-) 200mA output to activate additional accessories, you must use a relay inline. (-) 2nd Starter Output This output supplies (-) 200mA output to activate additional starters, you must use a relay inline. -
Page 17: Heavy Gauge Relay Interface
heavy gauge relay interface The heavy gauge wires are used to energize high current circuits in the vehicle. It is crucial that these connec- tions are made correctly so that they are capable of handling the current demands. For this reason, scotch locks, T-taps and other such connectors should not be used. -

remote start harness (H2), 5-pin connector H2/1 BLACK/WHITE neutral safety switch input Connect this wire to the toggle (override) switch as shown in Figure A. Connect the other wire from the toggle switch to the PARK/NEUTRAL switch in the vehicle. This wire will test with ground with the gear selector either in PARK or NEUTRAL. -
Page 19: Neutral Safety Switch Interface
H2/4 GRAY (-) hood pinswitch input This wire MUST be connected to the hood pinswitch. This input will disable or shut down the remote start when the hood is opened. H2/5 BLUE/WHITE (-) status/defogger output This wire supplies a (-) 200mA output as soon as the module begins the remote start process. The H2/5 BLUE/WHITE wire can also be used to activate the defogger trigger (latched/pulsed) 10 seconds after successful remote start. - Page 20 the unit prematurely. You must also connect the H2/4 BROWN (+) shut-down input to the yellow wire on the relay satellite ribbon cable. This prevents the remote start system from activating if the key is left in the “run” position. You must use diodes to isolate the ignition circuit from the brake switch circuit as shown in the diagram below.

In the (+) position, the on-board relay is enabled and the unit will output (+)12V on the WHITE wire, H1/9. In the (-) position, the on-board relay is disabled. The WHITE wire, H1/9, will supply a 200mA (-) output suitable for driving factory parking light relays. -
