This system is intended for automatic, fuel-injected vehicles only. Installation in any other vehicle is contrary to its intended use.
The following safety warnings must be observed at all times: ➤ ➤ ➤ 2 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. Therefore, never operate the system in an area that does not have adequate ventilation.
➤ outlined in this installation guide, (1) Never remotely start the vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. The user will be responsible for having the neutral safety feature of the vehicle periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely start while the car is in gear. This testing should be performed by an authorized Directed Electronics dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in this product installation guide.
installation points to remember ➜ before 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). Test all circuits with a high-quality digital multi-meter before making connections.
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. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection.
➜ finding the starter wire The starter wire provides 12V directly to the starter or to a relay controlling starter. In some vehicles, it is necessary to power a cold start circuit. A cold start circuit will test exactly like a starter circuit, but it does not control the starter. Instead, the cold start circuit is used to prime the fuel injection system for starting when the vehicle is cold. Use the following procedure to find the starter wire with your multimeter: 1.
➜ finding the 12V switched wire The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer). Accessory wires lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current available to the starter motor. Use the following procedure to find the (+)12V ignition wire with your multimeter: 1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).
➜ finding the accessory wire An accessory wire will show (+)12V when the key is in the accessory and run positions. It will not show (+)12V during the cranking cycle. There will often be more than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. The correct accessory wire will power the vehicle's climate control system. Some vehicles may have separate wires for the blower motor and the air conditioning compressor. In such cases, it will be necessary to add a relay to power the second accessory wire.
➜ finding the tachometer wire To test for a tachometer wire, a multimeter capable of testing AC voltage must be used. The tachometer wire will show between 1V and 6V AC. In multi-coil ignition systems, the system can learn individual coil wires. Individual coil wires in a multi-coil ignition system will register lower amounts of AC voltage. Also, if necessary, the system can use a fuel injector control wire for engine speed sensing.
5. If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1 and 6 VAC and the voltage will vary as the engine rpm is changed. factory anti-theft systems (immobilizers) Vehicle anti-theft systems (immobilizers) require installation of a bypass module. The bypass module allows for easy interfacing, while still maintaining the OEM security system’s integrity.

This wire can be used to activate an immobilizer bypass unit.
H1/3 BROWN (+) brake switch shutdown input This wire must be connected to the vehicle’s brake light wire. This is the wire that shows (+) 12V when the brake pedal is depressed. The remote start will be disabled or shut down any time the brake pedal is pressed. Locate the factory brake wire using your meter. Find the switch at the top of the metal arm coming off the brake pedal. There are usually two wires connected to that switch. Locate the wire color according to the web information.
Installing the hood pin switch requires drilling a ¼-inch hole in the metal lip under the hood. Choose a location that will allow the pin switch to be depressed when the hood is closed. The pin switch has a spade connector on the bottom for the wire connection. Place the wire with the spade connector onto the pin switch and run the wire into the vehicle’s passenger compartment through a factory rubber grommet.

Once you have identified the correct wire, strip a small portion of insulation off this wire and solder the WHITE (H1/8) wire from the main connector to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape. relay wires (heavy guage) description A–PURPLE (+) output to starter circuit See Finding the Wires You Need section of this guide for finding the starter wire.
B, E–RED (+) 12V inputs 30A fused warning! Before making any connection to constant battery power make sure that the two green 30 amp fuses are removed from the fuse holders on the two thick red wires. Failure to do so may cause fire or shorting of sensitive electrical components. See Finding the Wires You Need section of this guide for finding the 12V constant power wire. Solder the two RED wires from the control module to the 12V constant power wire and cover the connection with electrical tape.
wrap with electrical tape. F–PINK/WHITE (+) output to ignition2/accessory2 circuit Connect this wire to the second ignition or accessory wire in the vehicle. note: For vehicles that do not have a second ignition or accessory wire, this connection is not required. note! The WHITE/BLUE (H1/6) wire, (-) remote start activation input, from the primary harness is used for testing purposes. Contact Directed Technical Support for additional information. learning transmitter The system comes with one transmitter.
To add a second transmitter (within 5-seconds of the first transmitter parking light flash learn acknowledgment): 1. Program. Hold the both buttons on the additional transmitter for an additional 5-seconds, until—(see step 2). 2. Parking Lights Flash. The parking lights will flash twice to acknowledge programming of this transmitter. testing the system Once installation and transmitter learn have been completed, the operation of the system can be tested.
control module programming Dependent on the vehicle, use the following data with the instructions to program PROGyour system. These wire loops are found at the side of the control ARM module. DISARM Diesel Mode (BLUE) - Cut this loop if you have a diesel vehicle. When cut the remote start will start the engine about 30 seconds after pressing the START button twice. STOP Uncut – Gas Mode Cut – Diesel Mode Voltage Mode/Tachometer Mode - Default is voltage mode.
troubleshooting ➤ The ignition comes on, but the starter will not crank. Does it start with the key in the ignition? If so, does the vehicle have an engine immobilizer? Will it start with the brake pedal depressed? (Make sure to disconnect the brake shutdown when performing this test.) If so, it may have a brake/starter interlock. Is the correct starter wire being energized? Check by energizing it yourself with a fused test lead. ➤ The starter cranks for 1 or 2-seconds but does not start.
than one ignition or accessory wire must be energized in order to operate the climate control system. ➤ The remote start will not activate. Check harnesses and connections. Make sure the harnesses are fully plugged into the remote start module. Make sure there are good connections to the vehicle wiring. Check voltage and fuses. Use a meter and check for voltage between the RED wire and the BLACK ground wire. If you have less than battery voltage, check the and both 30A fuses on the relay satellite.
➤ The vehicle starts, but immediately dies. Does the vehicle have an immobilizer? The vehicle’s immobilizer will cut the fuel and/or spark during unauthorized starting attempts. ➤ The vehicle will start and run only for about 10 seconds. Is the remote start programmed for voltage sense? Try programming the unit using a tach wire. glossary of terms Control Module: The “brain” of your system. Usually hidden under the dash area of the vehicle.
