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 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.
The following precautions are the sole responsibility of the user; however, authorized Directed dealers should:
• Never use a test light or logic probe when installing this unit. Always use a multimeter.
• Never operate the system in an enclosed or partially enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage).
• When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote start system must
be disabled using the installed toggle switch. It is the user’s sole responsibility to properly handle and keep out of reach from
children all remote controls to assure that the system does not unintentionally remote start the vehicle.
• USER MUST INSTALL A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IN OR ABOUT THE LIVING AREA ADJACENT TO THE VEHICLE.
ALL DOORS LEADING FROM ADJACENT LIVING AREAS TO THE ENCLOSED OR PARTIALLY ENCLOSED VEHICLE
STORAGE AREA MUST REMAIN CLOSED AT ALL TIMES.
Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended mode of operation may result in property damage, personal injury, or
death. Except when performing the Safety Check 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 is 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 dealer in accordance with the Safety Check outlined in this product
installation guide. If the vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation immediately and consult with the user to fix the problem
immediately.
OPERATION OF THE REMOTE START MODULE IF THE VEHICLE STARTS IN GEAR IS CONTRARY TO ITS INTENDED MODE OF
OPERATION. OPERATING THE REMOTE START SYSTEM UNDER THESE CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE
OR PERSONAL INJURY. IMMEDIATELY CEASE THE USE OF THE UNIT AND REPAIR OR DISCONNECT THE INSTALLED REMOTE
START MODULE. DIRECTED WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE OR PAY FOR INSTALLATION OR REINSTALLATION COSTS.
Remote starters for manual transmission pose significant risks if not properly installed and operated. When testing to ensure the
installation is working properly, only remote start the vehicle in neutral gear, on a flat surface and with a functional, fully engaged
parking brake. Do not allow anyone to stand in front of or behind the vehicle.
This product should not be installed in any convertible vehicles, soft or hard top with a manual transmission. Installation in such
vehicles may pose certain risk.

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 “Module programming” of this guide for instructions on how to program features using Key2GO.

Disarm testing
It is important to read through all the steps before proceeding.
Note: This testing is to be done if you want to use the DB3 to disarm the factory alarm on unlock and trunk release. This install
type can only be done on low current ignition switch and on vehicles that do not disarm using the key to unlock the driver's door. If
using a one-button system or door locks are not being connected, the disarm will automatically be done upon remote start.
1Position the key next to the ignition barrel in a way that you can free your hands, and have
a few jumpers ready for the next steps.

You must now try to power up the ignition, accessory and keysense wires with jumpers in order to determine what is
required to disarm the system. It can be a combination of two wires.
Note: The key must be near (but not inserted into) the ignition barrel during the entire length of the testing.
Common scenarios include Ignition only, Ignition + Accessory or Ignition + Keysense, but may differ.
5When you have found what combination works to disarm the system, refer to the
installation wiring diagram to make the proper connections to the DB3 module.

Feature programming
To enter feature programming routine:
1. Turn the ignition ON, then OFF.
2. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the programming button until the LED turns ON orange (after 3 seconds).
3. Release the Programming button.
4. The LED will flash green once slowly to indicate the feature number is 1. After a short delay, the LED flashes red rapidly to
indicate the current option of feature 1 (e.g. 1 x green followed by 1 x red indicates feature 1 is set to option 1). The flashing
sequence will repeat until a new command is entered.
Changing feature options:
1. Press the lock/arm or unlock/disarm button on aftermarket transmitter to change the option of the selected feature.
2. The LED flashes red rapidly the number of times equal to the current option number. After a short delay, the LED flashes green
slowly the number of times to indicate the current feature. The flashing sequence will repeat until a new command is entered.
Accessing another feature:
1. Press and release the programming button a number of times to advance from the current feature to the next desired feature.
2. The LED flashes green slowly the number of times equal to the feature number. After a short delay, the LED flashes red rapidly
to indicate the current option of the current feature. The flashing sequence will repeat until a new command is entered.
When the maximum number of features or options is reached, the LED will start flashing again from the first feature or option.
Exiting feature programming:
