Directed XpressKit DBALL User manual

Important!
This product is NOT compatible with vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
Remote Start Ready (RSR) is a function that enables the interface module to remote start
the vehicle completely on its own. Consequently, there is no need for an aftermarket or an
OEM remote starter in order to start the vehicle from a distance.
SmartStart Compatible
SmartStart is equipped with D2D, which means it can be connected to an interface module and used in Remote
Start Ready (RSR) mode without the use of a remote starter. See the Module Programming section for more
information.

This feature is mandatory to control the immobilizer override in this firmware.
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
requires an XKLoader.
Refer to page 8 of this guide for instructions on how to program features using Key2GO.

The DBALL module must be disconnected from any power source before SmartStart can
be connected to it. Failing to do so could damage DBALL.
a. To ensure that the D2D communication between SmartStart and DBALL works properly, the
Gray wire must be connected to a ground source (Rev B SmartStart), and the Brown or Blue
loop must be cut (Rev A SmartStart).
b. Do NOT connect the 2-pin harness (on SmartStart). Power and ground will be provided by
the DBALL D2D connector.
Connect SmartStart to DBALL using the D2D port.
SmartStart Installation
Connect XL202 to DBALL using the D2D port.
XL202 Installation
Refer to the LED Diagnostics section on page 12 for more information and for troubleshooting purposes.
Make all the required connections to the vehicle, as described in the wiring diagram(s) found in this guide, and double check to
ensure everything is correct prior to moving onto the next step.
Note: Before connecting either the XL202 or SmartStart module to DBALL, it is important to ensure that the proper feature and
function programming is selected using XpressVIP (version 4.5 or higher). Visit www.directechs.com to download the latest
version of the application.
Warning! To take advantage of advanced features, you must use XpressVIP 4.5 (and higher) or the Directechs Mobile app.
When the flashing operation is successful, you can proceed with the programming instructions below.
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 Config for RSR 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.
Note: If transponder programming was skipped, the LED turns ON solid orange for 3 seconds then shuts off
when programming is done. Press the PTS button to turn the ignition OFF. You have successfully completed
the module programming sequence with convenience features only.
