  • 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.
  • Page 5 tion immediately and consult with the user to fix the problem immediately. After the remote start module has been installed, test the remote start module in accordance with the Safety 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.

  • Page 8: 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 con- trary to its intended use. Before beginning the installation: • Please read this entire Installation Guide before beginning the installation.

  • Page 9: Virtual Tach

    ➢ Virtual tach Virtual Tach is the default RPM-sensing method for new remote start systems. Virtual Tach gives the installer the performance of a hardwired tach wire, with the convenience of voltage sensing. It is far superior to any voltage-sense feature you’ve tried before. Virtual Tach monitors the cranking voltage of the vehicle using a very fast micro-controller and an analog-to-digital converter.

    Component locations and finding wires For detailed information on where to locate components, and how to find the wires you need, please refer to the Direct Tech web site at www.directechs.com. Making your wiring connections Before making your connections, plan how your wires will be routed through the vehicle.

    Primary harness (H1), 9-pin connector H1/1 LIGHT GREEN/ (-) FACTORY ALARM DISARM BLACK This wire sends a 200mA 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 diagram Relay for Negative (-) Disarm Wire ©...
  • Page 14 Relay for Positive (+) Disarm Wire H1/2 GREEN/WHITE (-) FACTORY REARM This wire sends a 200mA negative pulse every time the remote start shuts down or the doors are locked. This can be used to pulse the arm wire of the vehicle’s factory anti-theft device. Use a relay to send a (-) or (+) pulse to the arm wire.
  • Page 15 H1/4 WHITE/BLUE (-) ACTIVATION INPUT This input comes from the factory set to 1 activation pulse. This means that it is necessary to have 1 ground pulse on the white/blue wire for the remote start to activate or to deactivate. It is not mandatory to con- nect this wire unless the remote start is being activated by a security or keyless entry system.
  • Page 16 H1/6 BROWN (-) HORN OUTPUT This wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output that can be used to honk the vehicle horn. It outputs a single pulse when locking the doors with the remote, and two pulses when unlocking with the remote. This wire also outputs pulses for 30 seconds when Panic Mode is activated.
  • Page 17 H1/8 BLACK (-) CHASSIS GROUND CONNECTION We recommend that you do not use a factory ground. Ground all your components to the same point in the vehicle, (preferably the kick panel). Scrape away any paint and use a factory bolt or make your own ground with a self-tapping screw and a star washer.
  • Page 18 Note: For parking light systems that draw 10 amps or more, the jumper must be placed on the (-) light flash output. (refer to the Pro- gramming Jumpers section of this guide.) P/N 8617 or a standard automotive SPDT relay must be used on the H1/9 light flash output wire.

  • Page 19: Heavy Gauge Relay Interface

    Heavy gauge relay interface The heavy gauge wires are used to energize the ignition circuits in the vehicle. It is crucial that these connections 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.

  • Page 24: Neutral Safety Switch Interface

    Neutral safety switch interface Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch but in- stead have a mechanical neutral safety switch that physically interrupts the starter wire when the vehicle is in any drive gear. When the remote start is interfaced before this switch, it provides protection from starting in gear.
