Installation points to remember

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.

➤

Virtual tach

Virtual Tach is a new feature for Directed this year. It is the default RPM-sensing

method for the new Responder LE hybrid keyless entry /remote start systems.

Virtual Tach gives the installer the performance of a hard wired tach wire, with

the convenience of voltage sensing. It is far superior to any voltage-sense feature

you’ve tried before.

Virtual Tach monitors the cranking voltage of the vehicle using a very fast micro

controller and an analog-to-digital converter. The microprocessor “saves” the

base voltage as a reference. When Virtual Tach “sees” the slightest uptick in

voltage, indicating that the alternator is charging the battery, the starter motor

shuts off instantly.

➤

D2D

The system has the ability to interface with an XK module through the D2D port.

The advantage to using a D2D interface is that there is less wiring involved in

the installation. Check the XK module installation guide to determine which wires

are not needed, and which options are available.
