This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only.Installing it in a standard transmission vehicle is dangerous and is contrary to its intended use.■Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the installation. The installation of this remotestart system requires interfacing with many of the vehicle’s systems. Many new vehicles use low-voltage ormultiplexed systems that can be damaged by low resistance testing devices, such as test lights and logicprobes (computer safe test lights). Test all circuits with a high quality digital multi-meter before making con-nections.■Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio. If equipped with an air bag, avoiddisconnecting the battery if possible. Many airbag systems will display a diagnostic code through theirwarning lights after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires this code to be erased, which canrequire a trip to the dealer. ■Check with the customer on status LED location.■Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery.■Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.■Test all functions. The “Using Your System” section of the Owner's Guide is very helpful when testing.■When testing, don’t forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention Circuitry™(NPC™). NPC canbypass trigger zones, making them appear to stop working. See the Nuisance Prevention Circuitrysection.■Review and complete the Safety Check section of this guide prior to the vehicle reassembly.aafftteerr tthhee iinnssttaallllaattiioonnbbeeffoorree bbeeggiinnnniinngg tthhee iinnssttaallllaattiioonn

Both the siren and itswires should be difficult to find. This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness.■We recommend against grounding the siren to its mounting screws. Instead, we recommend running both thered and black wires into the passenger compartment and grounding to one common point for all devices.After all, both wires are the same length and come already bonded together. Whenever possible, conceal yourwires in the factory harnesses or in the same style loom as the factory.■When possible, place the siren on the same side of the vehicle as the control module, where its wires willreach the control module’s wires without extending them. Always run the wires through the center of agrommet, never through bare metal!■Point the siren down so water does not collect in it.SSoommee tthhiinnggss ttoo rreemmeemmbbeerr aabboouutt wwhheerree ttoo mmoouunntt tthhee ccoonnttrrooll mmoodduullee::■Never put the control module in the engine compartment!■The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side under-dash panel to access the starter andignition wires.

When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where this switch is locatedand how to disarm the system with it.Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be wellhidden. It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot acci-dentally hit it. The switch fits into a 9/32-inch hole.This system has Remote Valet. The user can enter and exit Valet® Mode without having to reach theValet®/Program switch. This feature was introduced so that switch location was less critical in day-to-day use.

Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factorywiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason,routing the optional starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.The relay satellite wiring carries large amounts of current. The wires should not be extended and should be cutto the minimum length necessary. Since the relay satellite is functioning as the ignition switch in the vehicle,it is often convenient to mount the relay satellite close to the main ignition switch harness.ffiinnddiinngg tthhee wwiirreess yyoouu nneeeeddNow that you have decided where each component will be located, you’re going to find the wires in the car thatthe security system will be connected to.IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Do not use a 12V test light or logic probe (computer safe test light) to find thesewires! Use a digital multimeter for all testing.We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: the (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant supply to theignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection. If the fuse also will be powering othercircuits, such as door locks, a power window module, a Nite-Lite® headlight control system, etc., fuse accordingly.IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red wire. It ensures that the control modulehas its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the mainpower feed.oobbttaaiinniinngg ccoonnssttaanntt 1122VVllooccaattiioonnss ffoorr tthhee rreellaayy ssaatteelllliitteellooccaattiioonnss ffoorr tthhee ooppttiioonnaall ssttaarrtteerr kkiillll rreellaayy

Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meterreads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesn’t, probe anotherwire.5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay steady, not dropping by more than afew tenths of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to zero, go back to Step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V,you have found an ignition wire.The starter wire provides 12V directly to the starter or to a relay controlling the starter. In some vehicles, it isnecessary to power a cold start circuit. A cold start circuit will test exactly like a starter circuit, but it does notcontrol the starter. Instead, the cold start circuit is used to prime the fuel injection system for starting when thevehicle is cold.HHooww ttoo ffiinndd tthhee ssttaarrtteerr wwiirree wwiitthh yyoouurr mmuullttiimmeetteerr::1.

© 2004 Directed Electronics, Inc. Vista, CA 1111An accessory wire will show +12V when the key is in the accessory and run positions. It will not show +12V duringthe cranking cycle. There will often be more than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. The correct accessorywire will power the vehicle's climate control system. Some vehicles may have separate wires for the blower motor andthe air conditioning compressor. In such cases, it will be necessary to add a relay to power the second accessory wire.To test for a tachometer wire, a multimeter capable of testing AC voltage must be used. The tachometer wire willshow between 1V and 6V AC. In multi-coil ignition systems, the system can learn individual coil wires. Individualcoil wires in a multi-coil ignition system will register lower amounts of AC voltage. Also, if necessary, the systemcan use a fuel injector control wire for engine speed sensing. Common locations for a tachometer wire are theignition coil itself, the back of the gauges, engine computers, and automatic transmission computers.IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!!Do not test tachometer wires using a test light or logic probe (computer safe test light)!This will damage the vehicle.

If this is the correct wire the meter will read between 1V and 6V.In diesel vehicles it is necessary to interface with the wire that turns on the WAIT TO START light in the dash-board. This wire illuminates the bulb until the vehicle’s glow plugs are properly heated. When the light goes outthe vehicle can be started. This wire is always available at the connector leading to the bulb in the dashboard.It can also be found at the Engine Control Module (ECM) in many vehicles.

Many cars have the switch built into the turn signallever, and in these cars the parking light wire can be found in the steering column. The same wire is often avail-able in the kick panel or running board.NNOOTTEE:: Many Toyotas, as well as many other Asian vehicles, send a (-) signal from the switch toa relay. The relay then sends (+)12V to the bulbs. Whenever you have difficulty finding a (+)parking light wire near the switch, simply test the wires at any switch or control panel which islit by the instrument panel lighting.

Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground.3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the parking light wire. Usually, the area near the headlight/parking lightswitch is an excellent area to start, as is the kick panel. 4. Turn on the parking lights. If your meter shows (+)12V, turn off the parking lights and make sure it goes backto zero.5. If it does return to zero, turn the parking lights back on and, using the dash light dimmer control, turn thebrightness of the dash lights up and down. If the meter changes more than a volt when using the dimmer,look for another wire. If it stays relatively close to (+)12V, you have found your parking light wire.TThhee bbeesstt ppllaacceess ttoo ffiinndd tthhee ddoooorr sswwiittcchh wwiirree aarree::■At the pin switch: When testing at the pin switch, check the wire to ensure that it “sees” all the doors.

© 2004 Directed Electronics, Inc. Vista, CA 1133Once you have determined the wire color, the easiest place to connect to the wire is often at the kick panel, atthe windshield pillar, or in the running board. When an easy location is not available, running a wire to the dome-light itself is often the best solution.HHooww ttoo ffiinndd aa ddoooorr ppiinn sswwiittcchh ttrriiggggeerr wwiirree wwiitthh yyoouurr mmuullttiimmeetteerr::1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine).2. In most Fords, fasten the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground. In most other cars, fasten the (+) probeof your meter to (+)12V constant.3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the door trigger wire. If the meter reads (+)12V when any door is opened, you have found a trigger wire.NNOOTTEE::Make sure the wire you use “sees” all the doors! Some newer GM vehicles lack standard-type pin switches. The dome light in these vehicles is turned on when the door handle is lifted.These usually have a blue/white or white wire coming out of the door into the kick panel whichwill provide a (-) trigger for all doors. Some GM vehicles (some Cavaliers, Grand Ams, etc.) havea yellow wire coming out of the door which provides a (+) door trigger.mmaakkiinngg yyoouurr wwiirriinngg ccoonnnneeccttiioonnssBefore making your connections, plan how your wires will be routed through the vehicle. For instance, the red12V constant input and the orange ground-when-armed output (for the optional starter kill relay) will often berouted together to the ignition switch harness. In order to keep the wiring neat and make it harder to find, youmay wish to wrap these wires together in electrical tape or conceal them in tubing similar to what the manu-facturer used. There are two acceptable ways of making a wire connection - solder connections and crimp connectors. Whenproperly performed, either type of connection is reliable and trouble-free. Regardless of whether you solder yourconnections or you use mechanical-type crimp-on connections, ensure that all connections are mechanicallysound and that they are insulated. Cheap electrical tape, especially when poorly applied, is not a reliable insulator. It often falls off in hot weather.Use good-quality electrical tape or heat shrink.■Never twist-and-tape the wires together without soldering.■Never use “fuse taps”, as they can damage fuse box terminals.If you use tapping connectors such as 3M T-Taps (not to be confused with Scotch-Locks), avoid using them inhigher-current applications (constant 12V, ground, etc.). Some tapping connectors are inferior in quality andshould be avoided.

© 2004 Directed Electronics, Inc. Vista, CA 2277nneeuuttrraall ssaaffeettyy sswwiittcchh iinntteerrffaacceeSome vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. Instead, a mechanical neutral safety switch thatphysically interrupts the starter wire is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear. If the remote start is inter-faced before this switch, it will provide protection from starting in gear. However, some vehicles combine thecolumn shift mechanism and the mechanical neutral safety switch into one mechanical part. In these vehicles,it is impossible to interface the remote start system before the neutral safety switch. With this type of vehicle,if the car is left in a drive gear and the remote start system is activated, the vehicle will move and may causedamage to persons or property.According to available information, the only vehicles currently manufactured this way are most General Motorstrucks, sport utility vehicles and column shifting passenger cars. Available information also indicates that pre-1996 Dodge Dakota pickups with 2.5 liter motors are manufactured this way as well.GM vehicles that have the neutral safety switch built into the column shifter can usually be identified by a purplestarter wire. Typically, vehicles that use an outboard mechanical switch use a yellow wire from the ignition switchto the mechanical switch and a purple wire from the mechanical switch to the starter itself. Remember, this isonly a rule of thumb and is not intended as a substitute for proper testing.We suggest the following procedure to test for vehicles manufactured in this way. NNOOTTEE::You must complete the remote start system installation before doing the following test.Ensure that the remote start system is functioning normally. This includes connecting to thebrake as a shut-down.1. Make sure there is adequate clearance to the front and rear of the vehicle because it may move slightly.2. Make sure the hood is closed and there are no remote start shut-downs active.3. Set the emergency brake.4. Turn the key to the "run" position, this will release the shifter.5. Place the car in drive (D).6. Place your foot directly over the brake pedal, but do not depress it. Be ready to step on the brake if thestarter engages.7. Activate the remote start system.8. If the starter engages, immediately depress the brake to shut the remote start system down. If the starterdoes not engage, no additional safety system is required.tteessttiinngg tthhee nneeuuttrraall ssaaffeettyy sswwiittcchh
2288© 2004 Directed Electronics, Inc. Vista, CAIf the starter engages and the vehicle is a General Motors product or Dodge Dakota pickup, refer to the follow-ing text and diagrams for an alternative shut-down method which will prevent the starter from engaging. If thevehicle is not a General Motors product or a Dodge Dakota pickup, please call Directed Electronics TechnicalSupport for an alternative shut-down method. Do not return the vehicle to the customer until this feature is prop-erly installed!Every vehicle built in this fashion requires that the shifter be placed in park to remove the keys from the igni-tion. As a result, it is possible to use the key-in-ignition sense switch to prevent remote starting if the keys arein the ignition. The following diagrams illustrate how to accomplish this. The first diagram applies to all GeneralMotors vehicles at the present time. The second diagram applies to all pre-1996 Dodge Dakota pickup trucks with2.5 liter motors. This solution has one side effect - if the customer inserts the key in the ignition with the driver'sdoor open, the remote start system will shut down. If this interface is used it is important to inform the cus-tomer to close the driver’s door before inserting the key into the ignition when the remote start is active. Thiswill allow the customer to turn the key on and shut the remote start down by pressing the brake without the keysense wire shutting down the unit prematurely.In addition, you must connect a tan (+) shut-down input to the yellow wire on the relay satellite ribbon cable.This prevents the remote start system from activating if the key is left in the "run" position. If your remote startsystem only has one tan input, you must use diodes to isolate the ignition circuit from the brake switch input.However, due to future manufacturer changes in vehicles, it is possible that this may not apply to all vehicles.In addition, color variations are possible from model to model; make sure to test the circuit carefully. Please callDirected Electronics Technical Support if you need assistance in making this interface.IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT!! Once the interface is complete, attempt to remote start the vehicle with the doorclosed and the key in the ignition. The vehicle should not start. If it does, recheck the connections.

If the VATS decodermodule does not measure the proper resistance when the vehicle is started, the starter and fuel pump may bedisabled for up to ten minutes. An optional "VATS pack" of resistors is available ((pp//nn 665522TT)). One of the resistors inthe pack will match the resistor in the key.The VATS wires will be two very light-gauge wires coming out of the steering column. The colors of the wires vary,but they are often contained in orange tubing - either both will be white wires, or one wire will be purple/whiteand the other white/black. Determine the value of the resistor in the key. Then follow the diagram below tobypass VATS during remote start operation.

If that zone does not attempt to trigger the system duringthe 60-minute bypass period, the zone’s monitoring will begin again at the end of the hour. If it does attemptto trigger while bypassed, the 60-minute bypass starts over again.Disarming and rearming the system does not reset NPC™. The only way to reset NPC™ is for the 60 minutes topass, without a trigger, or for the ignition to be turned on. This allows the system to be repeatedly triggered,disarmed and rearmed, and still allow NPC™ to bypass a faulty zone.When disarming the system, 5 chirps indicate NPC is activated. The LED will report the zone that has beenbypassed. (See Diagnosticssection of this guide.)
