■ 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 start module must be removed or properly reinstalled so that the vehicle does not start in gear. All installations must be performed by an authorized Directed Electronics dealer.

deciding on component locations locations for the siren Some things to remember about mounting the siren: ■ Keep it away from heat sources, such as radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields. ■ Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its wires 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.

mounting the antenna The antenna position should be discussed with the vehicle’s owner prior to installation, since the antenna may be visible to the vehicle’s operator. The best location for the antenna is centered high on either the front or rear windshield. For optimal range, the antenna should be mounted vertically. It can be mounted horizontally in rela- tion to the windshield or under the dashboard away from metal, but range will be diminished. Metallic window tint can also affect range, s

locations for valet/program switch IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where this switch is located and 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 well hidden. It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot acci- 9 dentally hit it. The switch fits into a /32-inch hole. This system has Remote Valet. The user can enter an

locations for the optional starter kill relay If optional starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the under-dash panel, they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory wiring! 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. locations for the relay satellite

finding the 12V switched ignition wire The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer). Accessory wires lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current available to the starter motor. How to find (+)12V ignition with your multimeter: 1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine). 2. Attach th

finding the accessory wire An accessory wire will show +12V when the key is in the accessory and run positions. It will not show +12V during the cranking cycle. There will often be more than one accessory wire in the ignition harness. The correct accessory wire will power the vehicle's climate control system. Some vehicles may have separate wires for the blower motor and the air conditioning compressor. In such cases, it will be necessary to add a relay to power the second accessory wire. findin

finding a (+) parking light wire The (+) parking light wire is often found near the switch. Many cars have the switch built into the turn signal lever, 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. NOTE: Many Toyotas, as well as many other Asian vehicles, send a (-) signal from the switch to a relay. The relay then sends (+)12V to the bulbs. Whenever you have difficulty finding a (+) parking li

Once you have determined the wire color, the easiest place to connect to the wire is often at the kick panel, at the 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. How to find a door pin switch trigger wire with your multimeter: 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 (+) probe of

primary harness (H1) wire connection guide H1/1 RED/WHITE channel 2, 200mA (-) output When the system receives the code controlling Channel 2, for longer than 1.5 seconds, the red/white wire will supply an output as long as the transmission continues. This is often used to operate a trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven function. IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! The transis- torized output can only supply 200 mA of current. Connecting dire
