Installation points to remember
This product is designed for fuel-injected, automatic transmission, or vehicles
with manual transmissions.
Important!
The default option “Manual” is a safety precau-
tion that forces the installer to enable the Manual Transmis-
sion Start (MTS) routine or program the unit to the “Auto-
matic” option before the remote start can be activated for
the first time.
The “Automatic” option should be programmed on to work with automatic trans-
missions. When the “Manual” option is selected a specific routine is required
before exiting the vehicle to enable the MTS mode.

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