Congratulations on the purchase of your remote start system. This

system will allow convenient remote start of your vehicle. Properly

installed, this system will provide years of trouble-free operation.

Please take the time to carefully read this User’s Guide in its

entirety and watch the Do-It-Yourself Installation Video

(CDROM) prior to installing your system.

You can print additional or replacement copies of this manual by

accessing the Directed web site at www.designtech-intl.com.

system maintenance

The system requires no specific maintenance. Your transmitter is

powered by a miniature 3-volt battery (type CR2032) that will

last approximately one year under normal use. When the battery

begins to weaken, the operating range will be reduced.

➜

important! If you are not comfortable working with elec-

tronics or unfamiliar with the tools required, please con-

tact your local dealer for advice or ask to have the remote

start professionally installed to avoid costly damages.

Failure to properly install the remote starter may result in

property damage, personal injury, or both.

The following safety warnings must be observed at all times:

➤ When properly installed, this system can start the vehicle via

a command signal from the remote control transmitter.

Therefore, never operate the system in an area that does not

have adequate ventilation. The following precautions are the

sole responsibility of the user; however, the following recom-

mendations should be made to all users of this system:

1. Never operate the system in an enclosed or partially

enclosed area without ventilation (such as a garage).

2. When parking in an enclosed or partially enclosed area

or when having the vehicle serviced, the remote start

system must be disabled using the toggle switch.

3. It is the user's sole responsibility to properly handle and

➤ Use of this product in a manner contrary to its intended

mode of operation may result in property damage, personal

injury, or death. Except when performing the Safety Check

outlined in this user’s guide, (1) Never remotely start the

vehicle with the vehicle in gear, and (2) Never remotely start

the vehicle with the keys in the ignition. The user will be

responsible for having the neutral safety feature of the vehicle

periodically checked, wherein the vehicle must not remotely

start while the car is in gear. This testing should be performed

by an authorized Directed dealer in accordance with the

Safety Check outlined in this product installation guide. If the

vehicle starts in gear, cease remote start operation immediately

and consult with the Dealer to fix the problem immediately.

➤ After the remote start module has been installed, test the

remote start module in accordance with the Safety Check

outlined in this installation guide. If the vehicle starts when

performing the Neutral Safety Shutdown Circuit test, the

remote start unit has not been properly installed. The remote

7

start module must be removed or properly reinstalled so that

the vehicle does not start in gear.

To use the LED test probe:

1. Remove the protective cover off the probe tip. Save the

protective cover for reinstallation on the probe tip when

the LED tester is not being used.

2. Connect the Black clip to a good chassis ground.

3. Connect the Red clip to a good +12V source. Both the

Red and Green LEDs should be illuminated dimly.

4. If a positive voltage source is probed, the Red LED will

illuminate brightly, and the Green LED will extinguish.

5. If a negative source is probed the Green LED will illu-

minate brightly and the Red LED will extinguish.

Alternate procedure to use the LED test probe (only for use on

probing positive voltage wires):

1. Remove the protective cover off the probe tip. Save the

protective cover for reinstallation on the probe tip when

the LED tester is not being used.

2. Connect the Black clip to a good chassis ground.

3. If a positive voltage source is probed, the Red LED will

illuminate brightly.

note: Do not use this test probe on computerized equip-

ment or on the tachometer wiring as damage can result.

step 1

Ground Wire

The BLACK (H1/5) wire on the main 8-pin harness is ground.

First strip back a ¾-inch section of the insulation off the BLACK

wire and crimp a ring terminal (not provided) to that wire.

Locate a clean, paint-free metal surface in the drivers kick panel.

Using a self-tapping screw, drill the screw with the ring terminal

to the metal area. Once screwed down, pull on the wire to ensure

a good connection.

step 2

Constant Power and Ignition wires

Almost all power and ignition wires can be found behind the key

cylinder under the lower drivers side dash panel. Using the

appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel using care

not to break any parts. If the panel does not come off easily

check for any additional screws you may have missed.

Once the lower dash panel has been removed, locate the ignition

harness at the back of the key cylinder. This is usually a group of

thicker wires. With the ignition harness exposed, use your LED

tester to find your power and ignition wires.

Place the black lead of the LED tester to a clean metal surface in

warning! On vehicles with air bags or sup-

plemental restraint systems (SRS) you may

notice a bright yellow tube with small wires

in it marked SRS underneath the steering

column near the key cylinder. DO NOT

tamper or unplug these for any reason to

prevent costly damages to your vehicle or

personal injury. Tampering may cause

unintended deployment of airbags.

the kick panel area and secure it. Probe one of the thicker gauge

wires. The color and identity of your specific vehicle wiring can

be obtained at www.designtech-intl.com. With the key in the

OFF position, test the suspect wire. The constant power wire will

illuminate the Red LED on the test probe.

Once the constant power wire (or wires) has been identified, solder

the two thick RED wires from the control module to it and cover

the connection with electrical tape to ensure a safe connection.

With the black lead still in the kick panel, locate the ignition

wire harness in the same location. It will test differently than

constant (+)12 volts. Locate the suspected wire using the

www.designtech-intl.com web site and then use the LED tester

to probe the suspected wire. With the key in the off position the

LED tester will not illuminate. Turn the key to the on position

and the LED tester will illuminate Red. Now while watching the

warning! Before making any connection

LED tester, turn the key to the crank position and the LED

tester should not extinguish. If the LED tester extinguishes this

is not an ignition wire but an accessory wire. If the wire tests

correctly, solder the PINK (D) relay wire to it and cover the

connection with electrical tape.

If the vehicle requires more than one ignition as per the Web site

information follow the same test procedure and solder the thick

PINK/WHITE (F) relay wire to it and be sure to wrap the

connection with electrical tape. If your vehicle has only 1 igni-

tion source, secure the PINK/WHITE out of the way.

If your vehicle requires more than two ignitions, additional

relays (not provided) are required. Refer to the diagram below.
