  • Page 6: Warning! Safety First

    Warning! Safety first The following safety warnings must be observed at all times: performed by an authorized Directed Electronics dealer. When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via a command signal from the remote control. Therefore, never operate the system in an area that does not have adequate ventilation.
  • Page 7 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. The remote start module must be removed or properly reinstalled so that the vehicle does not start in gear.

  • Page 9: 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 in- stallation.

  • Page 10: Virtual Tach

    Virtual tach Virtual Tach is a new feature for Directed this year. It 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 conve- nience of voltage sensing. It is far superior to any voltage-sense feature you’ve tried before.

  • Page 15 Relay for Positive (+) Disarm Wire GREEN/WHITE FACTORY REARM H1/2 This wire sends a 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 16 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 manually. The same holds true for the remote control activation when set to a two pulse setting it is necessary to press the button twice for the remote start to activate or deactivate.
  • Page 17 BROWN (-) HORN OUTPUT H1/6 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.
