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).
• 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 HONDA7 firmware for DS4+ is compatible with specific Acura and Honda vehicles. It is a complete
solution for remote start, security (when security features are enabled), bypass, and features built in Bluetooth
4.0 allowing you to configure and control your system. This guide provides information on the installation of
the module as an analog unit, however a digital solution could be available for your vehicle. Please refer to the
DirectLink application or www.directechs.com for more information about which configuration is best for your
application.
Warning! This module is designed to be configured using the DirectLink application for mobile devices, however it can also
be configured using the web tool located at www.directechs.com. To download the DirectLink mobile application, please visit the
Google Play or Apple store.
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.
T-Harness
compatible THHON1, THHON2 & THHON3 Keys required for programming 1Keys required for operation 0
No takeover available on Push-to-Start vehicles. The engine will stop when a door is opened. Wait at least 2 seconds
before restarting the engine or an error message can appear in the vehicle information display.
Power liftgate and sliding door controls are only available when the engine is OFF.
The optional Plug & Play THHON1, THHON2 & THHON3 T-Harnesses are sold separately. Refer to the "Vehicle wiring
reference chart" for vehicle and T-Harness compatibilities. When using a T-Harness, the OEM remote functionality is retained
during remote start runtime.
Key2GO may be required if the interface does not program using the traditional method. Refer to "Module programming"
on page 34 for more information.
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.
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 disable and antigrind applications.
[4] Optional but required for OEM Remote Keyless Entry to operate when vehicle is remote started.
[5] PTS wire, for Pit Stop/Idle mode shutdown ONLY.
[6] For Autolights OFF CUT the Brown/White loop in all vehicles EXCEPT in the 2016 Honda Civic (Key Type) when using a
THHON3 T-Harness.
[7] When using a T-Harness and the OEM Remote Keyless Entry does NOT operate when vehicle is remote started, cut and
tape the White in pin 5 of the Black 12-pin harness. See "T-Harness modification procedure" on page 32.
