SmartStart Compatible
SmartStart is equipped with D2D, which means it can be connected to an interface module and used in Range
Extender Ready (RXT) mode without the use of a remote starter. See the Module Programming section for
more information.
Important!
▪This product is ONLY compatible with vehicles equipped with a factory-installed remote starter.
▪This guide is compatible with the GM9 firmware version 2.05 and later.
Range Extender Ready (RXT) is used to dramatically increase the factory remote start activation range
compared to the factory transmitter. Refer to the Quick Reference Guide for more information.
® Buick, Cadillac, and Chevrolet are registered trademarks and property of their respective companies.
The GM9 firmware for DBALL2 is an all-in-one door lock and override module compatible with
specific Buick, Cadillac,Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. This guide supports the installation of a
DBALL2 in Range Extender Ready (RXT) mode with an RF System or a SmartStart (both sold
separately).
This module can only be flashed and configured using XpressVIP at www.directechs.com or
using the Directechs Mobile application for smartphones. Refer to the Module Programming
section on page 7 for more information.

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.

3. Enabled*
Smart OEM Alarm Control w ill synchronize w ith the OEM alarm so that it w ill disarm and rearm the vehicle in

done by lock or unlock operation. This could create unnecessary actions on door lock modules, such as the
horn to honk. When possible, Smart OEM Alarm Control w ill monitor the alarm and door lock status to detect if
the disarm or rearm is required. If the vehicle is unlocked or is not equipped w ith factory alarm, the
disarm/rearm w ill not be executed. Smart OEM Alarm Control w ill also monitor the remote starter actions so
that the factory alarm control is not done tw ice. A remote starter, for w hich the Safelock feature is active,

Get In and Go
Get In and Go is designed to provide users with easy takeover when
entering their Push-to-Start (PTS) equipped vehicle, once it has been
remote started.
Typically, users would have to remote start their vehicle, then get inside and press
the vehicle start button to perform a takeover. There is therefore a physical action
required to drive away. With Get In and Go technology, you simply remote start the
vehicle, unlock the doors, get in and go... Nothing to do but put the gear in drive and
enjoy your vehicle.
This unique feature monitors a variety of parameters such as the key fob, vehicle
speed sensor and door sensor, in order to perform takeover securily.

Range Extender Ready (RXT) is used to amplify the distance covered
by factory remote starters. The interface connects to the vehicle and
uses the same code as the factory remote to remote start the vehicle.
The runtime and features are identical to the OEM remote starter.
Some of the advantages of RXT are greater remote range and 2-way
