Introduction
This guide provides information on the installation of the DS3/DS3+ and DS4/DS4+ modules as a digital solution. Using these modules in a
digital configuration requires the module to be flashed with vehicle-specific firmware. Refer to our website (www.directechs.com) and click
on the DIRECTLINK text in the header for additional information.
DS3/DS3+ and DS4/DS4+ modules provide an all-in-one solution for most modern vehicles, and include remote start, keyless entry, security,
and immobilizer bypass capabilities. T-harnesses may also be used in many applications for easy installation.
The following methods are available to configure modules:
• Web: www.directechs.com (DS3/DS3+ and DS4/DS4+)
• Desktop application: Directlink DT (DS3/DS3+ and DS4/DS4+)
• Mobile device: Directlink App (DS4/DS4+ only)
When flashing via Directlink DT (desktop app) or via the Web, an XKloader2 will be required.
To configure via Web or DirectLink DT (desktop app):
1. Disconnect the main module from any (+) 12V power source.
2. Connect the module to your computer using the XKLoader2.
3. Follow the steps in the pop-up window that will be displayed when the module is detected.
Notes:
•Flashing via web is only possible using Internet Explorer on Windows 8, 8.1, and 10.
•This method is not compatible with any other browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, etc.).
•When using Windows 11 or newer, Directlink DT is mandatory.
The DS4/DS4+ module is designed to be configured using the DirectLink application through mobile devices.
To download the DirectLink mobile application, visit the Google Play or Apple store. They can also be
configured via Web and DirectLink DT. The DS4/DS4+ features are built in Bluetooth® 4.0, allowing you to
configure and control your system. The DS3/DS3+ module is not equipped with Bluetooth®, therefore is not
compatible with the DirectLink app for mobile devices.
To configure via DirectLink mobile app (Android/iOS):
1. Follow and complete the wiring diagram(s) related to your installation through the app.
2. When installation is complete, select Configure DS4/DS4+.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

programming 1Keys required for operation 0
Vehicle Takeover Refer to the Quick Reference Guide section for more details.
Firmware notes
OEM Alarm triggering: If the OEM alarm triggers upon remote start, enable the Safelock setting when flashing the module.
If the OEM alarm triggers after remote start, set a (-) output for Ignition and connect it to Keysense. Refer to Tech tip 1308.
Driver Priority Unlock: If the vehicle is equipped, drivers' priority unlock must be configured via User Settings mode on the cluster
(must also be set during module flashing):
•All Doors Unlock - Set the Two Press Unlock setting to OFF
•Driver Priority Unlock - Set the Two Press Unlock setting to ON
A DS4+ module is required for this installation, as the Relay harness (H2), 10-pin white connector is used.
T-Harness (THHYN3 REV. 1 & 2):
•All T-Harness wires not listed in the diagram are not required for the installation. Loose wires such as Siren Output and Hood Input
may need to be pulled from the tapped section of the T-harness. Refer to the "wiring diagram with T-Harness" for more information
on connections and installation instructions.
•The optional Plug & Play THHYN3 REV. 1 & 2 T-Harness is sold separately.
•The OBDII Diagnostic Connector features will remain the same even when the T-Harness is installed.
•All T-Harness wires not listed in the diagram are not required for the installation.
Unless specified otherwise, all connectors are displayed from the wire side, with the exception of the OBDII diagnostic connector.
Fuses positioning: It is important to check that the fuses are positioned correctly in the module. Proper fuse positioning is displayed
on each wiring diagram.
Refer to the Vehicle connections section following the installation diagram.
Footnotes
[1] Hood pin: The installation of an aftermarket hood pin is only required on vehicles that are not equipped with a factory hood pin or if
not supported in data.
[2] Siren: The siren is only required when enabling the security features during module flashing.
[3] Starter Disable/Antigrind: The Green wire is only required for starter disable and antigrind applications.
[4] EMS COM:This connection is not required in US vehicles without transponder.
[5] OEM Remote: The connection is only required to maintain OEM remote functionality during remote start. The TPMS light will come
ON during runtime or idle mode and will go out after vehicle takeover.

Pairing remotes: Follow the remote-specific instructions to complete the pairing process. This information can be found in the RF
kit's owner's guide, "QR2" Tech Tip, and on the DS3/DS4 Quick Reference Install guide.
Pairing sensors: Sensors should be connected to the DS3/DS4 module prior to connecting the 12-pin main power harness.
When powered up, connected peripherals will pair automatically.
In the event where a sensor needs to be re-paired, repeat the steps above. Connected devices will become
registered within 4-6 seconds. No further action is required.
8556T Temperature Sensor
The 8556T Temperature Sensor is optional, but included with your DS3+/DS4+ module.
When used, the Temperature Sensor must be plugged into the 2-pin black connector of your module.
Note: When the system is configured as a remote starter, the temperature is reported by the 8556T Temperature
Sensor. When security features are enabled, it is reported by the 8504D Combo Sensor.
8504D Combo Sensor
The 8504D Combo Sensor is optional, but included with the purchase of a DS4SU security package.
The Combo Sensor is preset for the majority of applications; however, it can be adjusted using the DirectLink
application, as well as a compatible LED or LCD remote. Please refer to the instructions included with the DS4SU for
more information on how to make adjustments.
Note: When the system is configured as a remote starter, the temperature is reported by the 8556T Temperature Sensor.
When security features are enabled, it is reported by the 8504D Combo Sensor.
IMPORTANT: The Combo Sensor must be paired to the device before it can be used.
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 used in conjunction with Directed SmartStart®
To enable D2D communication between the DS3+/DS4+ and the Directed SmartStart®one of the following actions must be performed
before providing power to the Directed SmartStart®unit:
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 Directed SmartStart®2-pin power harness when using the DS3+/DS4+. Power and ground will be provided by the
D2D connector on the module. Refer to the Directed SmartStart®documentation for further details.

IMPORTANT! Directed does not approve nor support installations of manual transmission and remote starts on any electronic vehicles
(EV), OEM Remote Start Activation firmware, vehicles with convertibles and/or removable tops, including but not limited to Jeep Wrangler,
Honda S2000, Mazda Miata, and other such vehicles.
This system supports manual transmission installations.
Refer to “Directwire” section at www.directechs.com for further information on vehicle-specific wiring connections.
When flashing the module for Manual Transmission on the Directechs website:
1. In the Remote Start Features section, select the desired configurations for Manual Transmission Initialization & Manual Transmission
Completion.

2. In addition, if no Clutch Output is pre-configured in the firmware, an output can be configured when flashing the module under the
Programmable Input/Output section. Use any available positive (+) or negative (-) outputs depending on the polarity of the clutch
switch listed on Directwire, set it to Starter.
3. Note: A Relay may be required depending on your vehicle.
See Tech Tips 10000 - Clutch Bypass for Remote Start - https://directechs.blob.core.windows.net/techtips/10000.pdf
4. Additional connections may be required if these functions are not supported by the firmware.
Connection Description
