Installation Guide
Update Alert: Firmware updates are posted on the web on a regular basis. We recommend
that you check for firmware and/or install guide updates prior to installing this product.
SmartStart Compatible
SmartStart 200/250 Revision B 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.
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.

The installer must make sure the RFTD Output feature option is active in order to benefit from RSR. See the
Feature & Option List section for more information.
This guide supports the installation of a DBALL in Remote Start Ready (RSR) mode. This solution
offers three (3) configuration options to control your system: 3x OEM Lock Remote Start Activation,RF
Kit or SmartStart (both sold separately).
Refer to the Quick Reference Guide (QRG) at the end of this guide for more information on how to use
the various features offered with this product.
This firmware does not support transponder override. One (1) programmed OEM key must be wired
into the vehicle to complete installation of a remote starter.
During remote start sequence, the car console will indicate “no key located”. This is normal due to
the key wrapped in the installation. At vehicle takeover, the message will disappear.

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 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.

Feature & Option List
It is recommended to configure all the features and options listed below using the configuration tool found on the module
flashing page on www.directechs.com. The web offers more options; however, manual configuration of the features is possible
using the information on this page.
Feat. Operation Flashes/Option Description
1. No RF Output * Module is connected to a remote starter using a standard installation.
2. RFTD Output Module is connected to an XL202 using an RSR or RXT installation (when available).
3. SmartStart Module is connected to SmartStart using an RSR or RXT installation (when available).
1. Driver priority* Unlocks only the driver door when the button is first pressed, and unlocks all doors when it is
pressed a second time within 5 seconds.
2. All Unlocks all doors when the button is first pressed.
1. Disabled * No Action
2. Enabled Module will disarm OEM alarm by cycling ignition and transponder. Use in the case where the
disarm function is not supported by the module. (ie: Beetle)

To enter feature programming routine
-Turn the ignition ON, then OFF.
-Within 5 seconds, press and HOLD the programming button until the LED turns ON orange (after 3 seconds). Release the
Programming button.
-The LED will flash green once slowly to indicate the feature number is 1. After a short delay, the LED flashes red rapidly to indicate
the current option of feature 1 (i.e. 1x green followed by 1x red indicates feature 1 is set to option 1). The flashing sequence will
repeat until a new command is entered.
Changing feature options
-Press the lock/arm or unlock/disarm button on aftermarket transmitter to change the option of the selected feature. When installing the
DBALL in RSR using 3x OEM Lock Remote Start Activation only, there is no aftermarket transmitter on which to press lock/unlock to
change the options of the selected feature. Tapping the green or blue lock/unlock wires on the black 10-pin harness to ground will
change the option for the selected feature.
-The LED flashes red rapidly the number of times equal to the current option number. After a short delay, the LED flashes green slowly
the number of times to indicate the current feature. The flashing sequence will repeat until a new command is entered.
Accessing another feature
-Press and release the programming button a number of times to advance from the current feature to the next desired feature.
-The LED flashes green slowly the number of times equal to the feature number. After a short delay, the LED flashes red rapidly to
indicate the current option of the current feature. The flashing sequence will repeat until a new command is entered.
When the maximum number of features or options is reached, the LED will start flashing again from the first feature or option.
Once a feature is programmed
-Other features can be programmed.
-The feature programming can be exited.
Exiting feature programming
-No activity for 30 seconds; after 30 seconds, the LED will turn ON orange for 2 seconds to confirm the end of the programming
sequence.
OR
-Press and HOLD the programming button for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the LED will turn ON orange for 2 seconds to confirm the
end of the programming sequence.

condition persists, please contact Technical Support.
ISO 1 not detected.
The Yellow/Black wire did not detect the expected signal. Refer to
"Installation (wiring diagrams & vehicle wiring reference charts)" to
check the connections.

The Orange/Black wire did not detect the expected signal. Refer to
"Installation (wiring diagrams & vehicle wiring reference charts)" to
check the connections.
MUX not detected.
The Violet/Green or Violet/Brown wire did not detect the expected
voltage value. Refer to "Installation (wiring diagrams & vehicle wiring
reference charts)" to check the connections.
