*The Normally Closed setting will only work if one of the vehicle's doors is connected. If more than one door

is to be monitored, then it is recommended to use the Xpresskit DTIMAZDA or tech tip # 1921 on www.di-

rectechs.com to interface with these types of vehicles.

**This optional input can can be connected to the horn circuit (+ or -). When this wire receives an input for a

minimum of .5 seconds, the system reports a trigger on the 2way remote. This is useful on vehicles that have

a factory security system that can be armed/disarmed with our system. The system will not report that a zone

has been triggered when unlocking with the remote and is not available with the 1-way remote.

Initializing Virtual Tach (not needed w/hardwire tach inputs)

To program Virtual Tach:

1. After the install is complete, remote start the engine. The programming operation may require 3 cranks of

the starter before the engine starts and runs. Do not turn off the remote start if this happens, it is a normal

programming operation.

2. Once the engine begins running, let it run for at least 30 seconds.

3. Using the Remote, send the Remote start command to turn remote start off. Virtual Tach is programmed.

To reset Virtual Tach, go into the Reset and Deletion section of this guide. Virtual Tach cannot be reset with

the Bitwriter.

Note:

Virtual Tach cannot be used in MTS Manual Transmission Mode. It is also not recommended for diesel

trucks.

Virtual Tach handles disengaging the starter motor during remote starting – it does not address over-rev. If the

customer wants to have the over-rev protection capability, the tach wire must be connected.

Important: After successfully learning Virtual Tach, a small minority of vehicle starters

may over crank or under crank during remote start. The Bitwriter can be used ﬁne tune

the starter output time in 50mS increments to compensate for such an occurrence.

Learning the Tach (not needed with Virtual Tach)

To learn the tach signal:

1. Start the vehicle with the key. Within 5 seconds, press and hold the Control button.

2. After 3 seconds the status LED on your Control Center lights constant when the tach signal is learned.

3. Release the Control button.

Note: When the tachometer is programmed, the main unit automatically enters the Tachometer engine

checking mode.

Neutral safety switch interface

Some vehicles do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. Instead, the vehicle has a mechanical neutral

safety switch that physically interrupts the starter wire and is used when the vehicle is in any drive gear. If the

remote start is interfaced before this switch, it will provide protection from starting in gear. However, some

vehicles combine the column shift mechanism and the mechanical neutral safety switch into one mechanical

part.

Important: You must complete the remote start system installation before doing the follow-

ing test. Ensure that the remote start system is functioning normally. This includes connect-

ing to the brake as a shut-down.

Testing the neutral safety switch

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 releases 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 the

starter 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

starter does not engage, no additional safety system is required.

If the starter engages and the vehicle is a General Motors product or Dodge Dakota pickup, refer to

www.

directechs.com

for Document 1008 under the Resource tab. For an alternative shut-down method

which prevents the starter from engaging. If the vehicle is not a General Motors product or a Dodge

Dakota pickup, please call Directed Electronics Technical Support for an alternative shut-down method.

Do not return the vehicle to the customer until this feature is properly installed!

Remote Start Shutdown/Startup Diagnostics

Shutdown diagnostics: If the remote start activates but fails to stay running, the remote start module has the

ability to inform you of what may have caused the remote start failure. Before performing shutdown diagnos-

tics it is important that you let the remote start shut off on its own i.e. let it attempt to start 3 times then shut

down, if this is not done the unit will report the shutdown you used to shut off the remote start.

Note: Shutdown diagnostics does not report if the vehicles factory immobilizer is causing the problem.

To perform shutdown diagnostics:

1. With the ignition Off, press and hold the Control button (on Control Center).

2. Turn the ignition On and then back Off while holding the Control button.

3. Release the Control button.

4. Press and release the Control button. The status LED ﬂashes to report the last shutdown for one minute or

until the ignition is turned on, as shown in the following table:

Status LED Flashes Shutdown Mode

1 ﬂash Runtime expired

2 ﬂashes Over-rev shutdown

3 ﬂashes Low or no RPM

4 ﬂashes Transmitter shutdown (or optional push button)

5 ﬂashes (+) Brake shutdown

6 ﬂashes (-) Hood shutdown
