Key2GO is mandatory to control the immobilizer override in this firmware.
The optional Plug & Play THGMD1 or THGM610D T-Harnesses are sold separately.
Heated Seat Activation is ONLY available in compatible vehicles (See "Feature programmming" for more information).
Unless specified otherwise, all connectors are displayed from the wire side, with the exception of the OBDII diagnostic
connector.
The OBDII Diagnostic Connector features will remain the same even when the T-Harness is installed.
Refer to the "Vehicle connections" following the installation diagram.
General notes: This section highlights important information for this specific firmware.
[1] Tach wire is an optional connection required on some remote starters, which do not support a tach signal in D2D.
[2] If the RAP Off wire is NOT connected, the radio will turn OFF but some lights will remain ON in the center console for 10
minutes. Connect the Green/Black wire, pin 2/12 to the vehicle driver door input to avoid the issue. The RAP Off/Door
input color and location can be found in the "Vehicle connections" section.

Module programming
Refer to “LED diagnostics and troubleshooting” for more information and for troubleshooting purposes.
1
Wait until the LED turns ON solid red.
Note: To skip the transponder programming and use convenience features only, press the
programming button 5 times. Wait until the LED turns ON solid orange for 3 seconds, then
proceed to step 2.
2
Press Unlock on the OEM remote or the door to wake up the CAN bus. The LED starts
flashing orange quickly.
If the transponder programming was skipped, the LED turns ON solid orange for 3 seconds,
then turns OFF when programming is completed.
3Insert and turn the key to the ON position, then leave it there for 5 seconds. The LED starts
flashing green quickly.
4Turn the key to OFF and remove it from the ignition barrel. The LED will keep flashing green
quickly.
5Important! This operation must happen within 5 seconds.
Insert the key back into the ignition barrel. The LED keeps flashing green quickly.
6Turn the key to the ON and leave it there. Within 15 seconds, the LED will start flashing
orange slowly.
7When the LED starts flashing orange slowly, turn the ignition OFF, remove the module from
the vehicle, and reconnect it to your computer. The web site will automatically recognize that
you are moving onto the second phase of the programming sequence.
8Click on Submit Key2GO Request.
9Once the configuration is completed, reconnect the module. The LED turns ON solid green for
3 seconds, then shuts OFF.
You have successfully completed the module programming sequence.

Key2GO
This feature is required if only one key is available. You can program the interface without the need for Key2GO if two keys are
present.
Key2GO has been designed and developed to bypass the advanced encryption layers found in modern vehicles. It uses an array of servers
to generate a duplicate of the original key, allowing the installation of a remote starter without having to give up a key.
The advantage is that this feature allows you to use one original key and the server to configure the bypass in the vehicle.
All Key2GO-compatible firmware are clearly indicated in the function list of each vehicle search result page and will also appear on the
flash page. Any first-time user must re-register to gain access to Key2GO, and some additional information will be required to complete the
registration process, such as your Directed account number and store name.
Key2GO is compatible with XKLoader2 and the online web tool, as well as XKLoader3 and the Directechs Mobile application.
Refer to the Module Programming section of this guide for instructions on how to program features using Key2GO.
Connecting the module
Important!
Make all the required connections to the vehicle, as described in this guide, and double check to ensure everything is correct prior
to moving onto programming.
Warning! To take advantage of advanced features, you must use DirectLink 4.5 (and higher) or the Directechs Mobile application.
Flashing a module using your computer:
1. Connect the interface module to your computer using the XKLoader2.
2. Go to www.directechs.com using Internet Explorer, and select the Flash Module button.
3. Follow the instructions to select your vehicle, installation type, and configure your options.
4. Once you have configured the firmware options, click on the FLASH button.
Flashing a module using your smartphone or tablet:
1. Connect the interface module to your XKLoader3.
2. Launch the Directechs Mobile app on your smartphone or tablet.
3. Select FLASH YOUR MODULE and follow the on screen instructions.
When the flashing operation is successful, you can proceed with the instructions below.

LED diagnostics and troubleshooting
This section provides LED diagnostics and troubleshooting information to guide you through the various stages of your installation.
Module Programming
LED Description Troubleshooting
Off Module has no power. Make sure the D2D harness is connected and that 12 Volt is present between the red and black wires. If
12 Volt is present, the module may be defective.
Solid red
Waiting to begin the programming
sequence. Ensure the correct programming procedure is being followed.
Flashes green & red Initialization failed. Reset the module and complete the programming again. If the issue persists, please contact Technical
Support.
Solid orange Transponder functions were skipped. (If compatible) when RXT mode is not desired or convenience features are needed, please reset the and
reprogram the module.
Flashes green
All required CAN networks has been
detected. Normal operation.
Flashes orange 1 of 2 CAN networks has been detected. Normal operation.
Flashes orange

Module Programming - Error codes
LED Description Troubleshooting
Flashes red x 1 CAN2 not detected.
Check the CAN2 Orange/Green and Orange/Brown wire connections. Wake up the data bus by
turning the ignition on and try again. If your installation does not require this connection, skip this step by
pressing the programming button 5 times.
Flashes red x 1 J1850 not detected. Check the J1850 wire connection. Wake up the data bus by turning the ignition on and try again.
Flashes red x 2 CAN1 not detected.
Check the CAN1 Tan and Tan/Black wire connections. Wake up the data bus by turning the ignition on
and try again. If your installation does not require this connection, skip this step by pressing the
programming button 5 times.
Flashes red x 3 Bypass data not detected. Check the bypass line connection. If more than one wire is used, make sure they are not inverted. Ensure
the vehicle still operates correctly using the factory key.
Flashes red x 4 Bypass processing error. The bypass calculation failed. Reset the module and try again. If the condition persists, please contact
Technical Support.
Flashes red x 5 ISO 1 not detected. The Yellow/Black wire did not detect the expected signal. Refer to “Installation (wiring diagrams &
vehicle wiring reference charts)” to check the connections.
Flashes red x 6 ISO 2 not detected. The Orange/Black wire did not detect the expected signal. Refer to “Installation (wiring diagrams &
vehicle wiring reference charts)” to check the connections.
Flashes red x 7 MUX not detected. The Violet/Green or Violet/Brown wire did not detect the expected voltage value. Refer to “Installation
(wiring diagrams & vehicle wiring reference charts)” to check the connections.
