Page 8: Installation Points To Remember
Installation points to remember 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. ➤ Virtual tach Virtual Tach is the default RPM-sensing method for the new remote start systems. Virtual Tach gives the installer the performance of a hard wired tach wire, with the convenience of voltage sensing.
Page 9: Before Beginning The Installation
➤ 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. Many new vehicles use low-voltage or multiplexed systems that can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights and logic probes (computer safe test lights).
Page 10: Component Locations And Finding Wires
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. ➤Valet/program switch IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where this switch is located and how to disarm the system with it.
Page 11: Status Led
➤Status LED Things to remember when positioning the Status LED: • It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if pos- sible. • It needs at least 1/2-inch clearance to the rear. • It is easiest to remove a small panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel, before drilling a 9/32-inch hole.
Page 12: Making Your Wiring Connections
Making your wiring connections Before making your connections, plan how your wires will be routed through the vehicle. For instance, the red 12V constant input and the remote start igni- tion wires are often routed together to the ignition switch harness. In order to keep the wiring neat and make it harder to find, you may wish to wrap these wires together in electrical tape or conceal them in tubing similar to what the manufacturer used.

If installing an optional Directed Electronics dual stage sensor, connect to the green wire as shown below.
Page 33: Tachometer Settings
Tachometer settings ➤ Virtual tach To program Virtual Tach: After the install is complete, remote start the car. If the car does not start on the first attempt, let the remote start attempt again. Once the car starts, let it run until the parking lights come on. When the parking lights come on, shut off the remote start with the remote - that's it! Virtual Tach is programmed.
Page 34: Tach Learning
➤ Tach learning To learn the tach signal: 1. Start the vehicle with the key. 2. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the Valet/Program switch. 3. After 3 seconds the LED will light constant when the tach signal is learned. 4.
Page 35: Programming Jumpers
Programming jumpers ➤ Tach threshold On/Off In most cases, this jumper can be left in the Off position. Some new vehicles use less than 12 volts in their ignition systems. The unit may have trouble learning the tach signal in these vehicles. Changing the jumper to the On setting changes the trigger threshold of the digital tach circuit so that it will work with these type vehicles.
Page 36: Transmitter/Receiver Learn Routine
Transmitter/receiver Learn Routine™ The system comes with transmitters that have been taught to the receiv- er. The receiver can store up to 4 different transmitter codes in memory. If the learn routines have been programmed previously using the Bit- writer, the routines may be locked. Before proceeding with reprogram- ming the learn routines, they must be unlocked with the Bitwriter.
Page 37 Step Function Auto Learn Standard Configuration (default) The auto learn configuration automatically sets up the remote but- ton configuration. Delete remotes: This feature erases all remotes from the system memory. This is useful in cases when a customer’s remote is lost or stolen.
Page 38 If you want to program Step 3 after programming Step 1, release the Valet/ Program switch, press it twice and release it to advance to Step 3. Then press it once more and hold it.
