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.

Introduction

The SUBARU1 ﬁrmware for DS4+ is a complete solution for remote start, security (if applicable), bypass

interface, and convenience needs compatible with speciﬁc Subaru vehicles.

Warning! This module can only be programmed via the web tool, which can be found on

www.directechs.com or using the Directechs Mobile application for smartphones. Features and functions will

become accessible when you connect the module using the XKLoader.

Pre-installation and application warnings

Firmware notes: This section highlights important information for this speciﬁc ﬁrmware and will assist in

pricing accordingly, as well as bringing awareness to any operational or vehicle limitations.

Key2GO is mandatory to control the immobilizer override in this ﬁrmware.

Unless speciﬁed otherwise, all connectors are displayed from the wire side, with the exception of the OBDII diagnostic

connector.

It is important to check that the fuses are positioned correctly in the module. Refer to the "Fuse selection" section following

each installation type for more information.

Refer to the "Vehicle wiring reference chart" following each installation type.

Depending on the origin of the vehicle, it could have one of two Brake Status types with the default setting as Type 1. If

under a remote start condition the brake does not shut the vehicle down, program the Brake Status as Type 2. This can be

done when ﬂashing the module found under Data Feature Conﬁguration when ﬂashing the ﬁrmware.

General notes: This section highlights important information for this speciﬁc ﬁrmware.

[1] The installation of an aftermarket hood pin is only required on vehicles that are not equipped with a factory hood pin.

[2] The siren is only required when enabling the security features during module ﬂashing.

[3] The Green wire is only required for starter kill and antigrind connections.

[4] The Keysense Input connection is only needed if keysense is not recognized through data at the time of programming. See

LED Diagnostics & Troubleshooting section for more details.
