Connecting the module
Important!
Before connecting the Directed Digital System, it is important to ensure that the proper feature and function
programming is selected using the configuration wizard. Visit www.directechs.com to use the latest version of the
online tool.
Flashing a module using your computer:
1. Disconnect the main module from any (+) 12V power source, then connect it to your computer using the
XKLoader2
.
2. Go to
www.directechs.com
using Internet Explorer; the configuration wizard will be displayed automatically.
3. Follow the instructions in the pop up window that will be displayed when the module is detected.
Flashing a module using your smartphone or tablet:
1. Disconnect the main module from any (+) 12V power source, then connect it to the
XKLoader3
.
2. Launch the
Directechs Mobile
app on your smartphone or tablet.
3. Select
FLASH YOUR MODULE
and follow the on-screen instructions.
When the flashing operation is successful, you can proceed with the instructions below.
Manual or automatic transmission selection
The yellow loop on the Directed Digital System controls which transmission type the unit is configured for. The
state of the loop (uncut or cut) when the main module is powered up will determine which type is selected.
• Uncut (default): Manual transmission.
• Cut: Automatic transmission.
For safety reasons, all Directed Digital Systems are shipped ready to use with a manual transmission (the
yellow loop is untouched). If the loop is cut after power has been applied, it is necessary to cycle power to the
main module (via the white 12-pin main power harness) so the unit will see the state change on the loop and
appropriately configure the transmission type.
Ready mode
To successfully remote start a vehicle equipped with a manual transmission, the Ready Mode feature must be
enabled before exiting the vehicle. Please refer to the Owner’s Guide for more details on this required process.
Additional connections required for vehicles equipped with a manual transmission (if not supported by firmware)
