SmartStart Compatible

SmartStart is equipped with D2D, which means it can be connected to an interface module and used in Range 
Extender Ready (RXT) mode without the use of a remote starter. See the 

Module Programming 

section for 

more information.

Important!

This product is ONLY compatible with vehicles equipped with a factory-installed remote starter.

This guide is compatible with the GM9 firmware version 2.05 and later.

Range Extender Ready (RXT) is used to dramatically increase the factory remote start activation range 
compared to the factory transmitter. Refer to the 

Quick Reference Guide 

for more information.
