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.

Connecting the module
Important!
Before connecting the Directed Digital Solutions, it is important to ensure that the proper feature and function programming is
selected using the configuration wizard. Visit www.directechs.com to use the latest version of the online tool.
Flashing a module using your computer:
1. Disconnect the main module from any (+) 12V power source, then connect it to your computer using the XKLoader2.
2. Go to www.directechs.com using Internet Explorer; the configuration wizard will be displayed automatically.
3. Follow the instructions in the pop up window that will be displayed when the module is detected.
Flashing a module using your smartphone or tablet:
1. Disconnect the main module from any (+) 12V power source, then connect it to the 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.
Manual or automatic transmission selection
The yellow loop on the Directed Digital Solutions controls which transmission type the unit is configured for. The state of the loop
(uncut or cut) when the main module is powered up will determine which type is selected.
• Uncut (default): Manual transmission.
• Cut: Automatic transmission.
For safety reasons, all Directed Digital Solutions are shipped ready to use with a manual transmission (the yellow loop is
untouched). If the loop is cut after power has been applied, it is necessary to cycle power to the main module (via the white 12-
pin main power harness) so the unit will see the state change on the loop and appropriately configure the transmission type.
Ready mode
To successfully remote start a vehicle equipped with a manual transmission, the Ready Mode feature must be enabled before
exiting the vehicle. Please refer to the Owner’s Guide for more details on this required process.
Additional connections required for vehicles equipped with a manual transmission (if not supported by firmware)
Connection Description
(-) E-Brake Status Input
(Black/White, pin 2)
Must be connected to a working emergency brake in the vehicle. Although most vehicles have simple
(-) trigger emergency brake circuits note some vehicles do not and may require unique integration
methodologies.
(-) Door Trigger Input
(White/Green, pin 10)
OR (+) Door Input (Yellow/
Green, pin 11)
Must be connected to a working door trigger in the vehicle, which monitors all doors. The unit must monitor
the door pins to allow the Ready Mode process to be enabled.
Note: Some vehicles may require unique integration methodologies for this circuit. For more information, refer
to www.directechs.com.
(AC) Tachometer Input
(Violet/White, pin 6)
Must be connected to a working tachometer signal in the vehicle (fuel injector, ignition coil, true tach, etc.)
and learned successfully to the Directed Digital Solutions.

Optional sensors
Note: The sensor port is only active on hybrid systems.
The 4-pin sensor port is compatible with a number of different Directed sensors including, but not limited to:
• Shock Sensor – 504D
• Field Disturbance Sensor – 508D
• Ultrasonic Sensor – 509U
Note: In the case of 508D, power and ground must be hardwired to the vehicle – power and ground should NOT be obtained
from the 4-pin sensor port.
Each sensor will have its own instructions, which must be followed for installation and adjustment.
RF Systems
An RF System consists of one or multiple remotes, a Control Center (antenna), and an antenna cable – various combinations exist.
An RF System allows the vehicle owner to control the system with enhanced range. Two-way models are available. Please follow
the instructions included with the kit for appropriate installation and programming information.
When flashing the Directed Digital Solutions, make sure to pick the remote you will be using. This way the main module will have
the necessary firmware to interact with the remote and Control Center (antenna) combination.
When used in conjunction with SmartStart
Disconnect power from the Directed Digital Solutions before connecting the SmartStart module. Failing to do so could damage
main module. To enable D2D communication between the Directed Digital Solutions and the SmartStart one of the following
actions must be executed:
• SmartStart with Loops – The brown loop must be cut.
• SmartStart with Pigtails – The gray wire must be connected to a ground source.
Loops Pigtails
DO NOT connect the SmartStart 2-pin power harness when using the Directed Digital Solutions. Power and ground will be
provided by the D2D connector on main module. Refer to the SmartStart documentation for further details.
