IMPORTANT!  Before  you  begin  the  install  process  ensure  the  hardware 
matches the vehicle and verify the wires needed.
Installation points to remember
This product represents many years of research and development. It is very sophisticated and should be 
installed by experienced security installers only. Please do not attempt installation of this product without 
reading this guide.  
This product is not intended for consumer installation and will have NO WARRANTY unless it is installed 
by  an  authorized  dealer.  Do  not  disconnect  the  battery  if  the  vehicle  has  an  anti-theft  coded  radio.  If 
equipped with an airbag, avoid disconnecting the battery if possible.
IMPORTANT! Please read this entire installation guide before beginning the 
installation. The installation of this security system requires interfacing with 
many  of  the  vehicles  systems.  Many  new  vehicles  use  low-voltage  or  mul-
tiplexed  systems  which  can  be  damaged  by  low  resistance  testing  devices, 
such as test lights or logic probes. Test all circuits with a high-quality digital 
multi-meter before making the connections.
IMPORTANT!    Many  airbag  systems  will  display  a  diagnostic  code  through 
Their warning light after they lose power. Disconnecting the battery requires 
this code to be erased, a procedure that can require a trip to the dealer.
Before beginning the installation
 Check with the customer to determine the LED and Valet switch locations. 
 Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car.
WARNING: Before beginning your install go to www.XPRESSVIP.com and be sure to print the 
LATEST corresponding installation manual for the firmware that is flashed to the platform 
you are using.
 2007 Directed Electronicsall rights reserved 
After the installation
 Test all functions. The Using Your System section of the Owner's Guide is very helpful when testing.
 When testing, dont forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC). NPC 
can bypass both sensor zones, making them appear to stop working. 
 Carefully reassemble the under-dash trim panels. 
 Inspect the engine compartment for tools that may have been left behind.
Tools required
This is a general list of tools required to complete the installation of this security system for most vehicles. 
Some vehicles may require additinal tools.
 Digital multi-meter
 Nutdriver and/or socket set
 Wire cutters/strippers
 Panel removal tool
 Solderless terminal crimpers
 Drill bit set
 Cordless power drill
 Phillips head screwdriver
 Torx driver set - Work light
Deciding on component locations
Control module
Some things to remember about where to mount the control module
 Never put the control module in the engine compartment!
  The  first  step  in  wiring  a  vehicle  is  removing  the  driver's  side  under-dash  panel  to  access  the  starter 
and  ignition  wires.  If  the  control  module  is  placed  just  behind  the  driver's  side  dash  it  can  easily  be 
disconnected.
 When mounting the control module, try to find a secure location that will not require you to extend the 
harnesses wires (they are 1.5 meters long). Keep it away from the heater core (or any other heat sources) 
and any obvious leaks.
  Some  good  control  module  locations  are:  Above  the  glove  box,  inside  the  center  console,  above  the 
under-dash fuse box, or above the radio.
 2007 Directed Electronicsall rights reserved 
Integrated LED/Valet switch
Things to remember when positioning the integrated LED/Valet switch:
 It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.
 It needs at least 1-1/2 inch clearance to the rear.
  It  is  easiest  to  remove  a  small  panel,  such  as  a  switch  blank  or  a  dash  bezel,  before  drilling  a  5/16 
inch hole.
Starter kill relay
If the Starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible when removing the underdash panel, they 
can  easily  be  bypassed.  Always  make  the  relay  and  its  connections  difficult  to  discern  from  the  factory 
wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this 
reason, routing the starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.  
 2007 Directed Electronicsall rights reserved 10
Connecting your wires
Now that you have decided where each component will be located, youre going to find the wires in the 
car that the security system connects to.
IMPORTANT!  Do  not  use  a  12V  test  light  to  find  these  wires!  Use  a  digital  multimeter  for  all  testing 
described in this manual.
Obtaining constant 12V
We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: the (+)  12v terminal of the battery, or the constant 
supply to the ignition switch. If you connect the module to the CAN bus wire at the OBD II plug, you can 
use the +12 v wire existent in the plug. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection.
IMPORTANT!  Do  not  remove  the  fuse  holder  on  the  red  (N1/3)wire.  It  ensures  that  the  control  module 
has its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main power feed.

Finding a light  wire
Find a (-) parking light wire
Use the following procedure to find a (-) parking light flash wire with your multimeter: 
1. Set to DCV or DV voltage (12V or 20V).
2. Attach the (+) probe of the meter to a fused (+) source. 
3.  Probe  the  wire  you  suspect  of  being  the  parking  light  wire.  Usually,  the  area  near  the  headlight/ 
parking light switch is an excellent area to start, as is the kick panel. Refer to the directechs.com for 
specific vehicle information.
4. Turn on the parking lights. If your meter shows 12V, turn off the parking lights and make sure it goes 
back to zero.
5. If it does return to zero, turn the parking lights back on and, using the dash light dimmer control, turn 
the brightness of the dash lights up and down. If the meter changes more than a volt when using the 
dimmer, look for another wire. If it stays relatively close to 12V, you have found your parking light wire.

used to honk the vehicles horn. It provides a pulsed output when the security system is armed/disarmed 
and in trigger sequence or in panic mode. In most vehicles with (-) horn circuits this wire can control the 
vehicles horn without adding a relay. If the vehicle has a (+) horn circuit, an optional relay must be used 
to interface with the vehicles horn circuit. 
IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! This tran-
sistorized output can only supply (-) 200mA and connecting directly to a solenoid, motor or other

The  white  four-pin  port  is  use  to  connect  USB  Bootloader  adaptor  and  computer  to  download  and  flash 
vehicle specific firmware. A dedicated software has to be install on your computer that can be downloaded 
free of charge from the Directed Accessories web site www.expresskit.com.
Four-pin optional sensor harness
RED wire
The red wire supplies constant power to the optional sensor.
BLACK wire
The black wire supplies ground to the optional sensor.
BLUE, GREEN wires
The blue and green wires are multiplex inputs. They are both tied to the same zone. If an input of less than 
0.8 seconds is supplied to either wire the Warn-Away response will occur. An input longer than 0.8 seconds 
to either wire will initiate the triggered sequence and report zone 4. This port can be used for optional 
sensors such as: the 506T  glass breakage sensor, or the 504D  field disturbance sensor.

On-board dual stage shock sensor 
Less Sensitive MoreSensitive        
There is a dual-stage shock sensor inside the control module. Adjustments are made via the rotary control 
as indicated above. Since the shock sensor does not work well when mounted firmly to metal, we recom-
mend  against  screwing  down  the  control  module.  The  full  trigger  of  the  on-board  shock  sensor  reports 
zone 2. See Table of Zones.
NOTE:  When  adjusting  the  sensor,  it  must  be  in  the  same  mounting  location  that  it  will  be  after  the 
install  is  completed.  Adjusting  the  sensor  and  than  relocating  the  module  requires  readjustment.

Long-term event history
The  control  module  will  store  the  last  two  triggers  in  memory  that  are  not  erased  when  the  ignition  is 
turned on. This can be helpful for troubleshooting false alarm reports. To access the event history use the 
following procedure:
1.  Turn the ignition switch off and press and hold the integrated LED/VALET button. 
2.  While holding the  integrated LED/VALET button turn the ignition On.
3.  Release the  integrated LED/VALET button.
4.  Within 5 seconds press and release the  integrated LED/VALET button.
The LED will flash in groups indicating the last two zones reported triggered. For example, if zone 2 and 
3 were the last two zones to be triggered the LED will flash two times followed by a pause and than flash 
three times followed by a pause.
NOTE: The Warn-Away response does not report on the LED.
The Long Term Event History will exit if the ignition is turned off or there is no activity for 60 seconds.
Rapid resume logic
The current state of the alarm will be stored in non-volatile memory. If power is lost and then reconnected, 
the system will recall the stored state from memory. This applies to all states of the system including arm, 
disarm, and VALET mode. If the unit was powered down while triggered, the control unit will continue to 
sound the siren (honk the horn) after power up until the unit is recognizing the vehicle again. If at least 
one zone is still active after this, the unit will sound the siren/horn cycle three times, if not disarmed in 
the meantime. If no zone is active after the vehicle was recognized, the siren will stop after one siren/horn 
cycle, if not disarmed in the meantime.  
NOTE:  The  unit  will  not  sound  the  siren  (honk  the  horn)  after  power  up,  if  the  panic  mode  was  active 
when powered down.

Multi-level security arming
Multi-Level Security Arming allows the user to select sensors to be active or bypassed when the system is 
armed. Multi-Level Security Arming can only be accessed if the function is set ON (option 3-2)
By pressing the LOCK button more than once within 3 and 7 seconds of arming the system activates Multi-
Level Security Arming. If the LOCK button is pressed again the unit cancels the bypass of the sensors. There 
are different security levels which can be selected,  as follows:
Step Lock Button pressed Number  of  Siren/Horn 
Chirps
Armed State with Zone 
Bypassed
1 Once 1 Chirp No Zone Bypassed
2 Twice 3 Chirps, 3 flashses Zone 2 & 4 Bypassed
3 If the Lock button is pressed again anytime, the system will return to step 1. 
The user can repeat the steps provided the LOCK button is pressed between 
3 and 7 seconds and no other buttons are pressed.  
Disarming without the original vehicle remote (system override)
This  feature  allows  you  to  override  the  system  without  the  transmitter  should  it  be  lost,  damaged  or 
disabled. To do this, you must have the vehicles ignition key and know where the integrated LED/VALET 
switch is located.
Turn the ignition to the run position. Press and release the integrated LED/VALET switch the programmed 
number of time (1-5), within 10 seconds. After a few seconds the LED will stop flashing and the vehicle 
should start. If it does not, you may have waited too long. Turn the ignition off and try again. 
 2007 Directed Electronicsall rights reserved 21
Note:  On  some  vehicles,  the  security  system  can  be  armed  using  the  ignition  key  for  the  drivers  door 
cylinder but can not be disarmed in the same way. The system can only be disarmed using the ignition key 
for the drivers door cylinder only if remote start status is active.
Note: The setting for the number of times the Valet switch must be pressed is set in the Feature Programming 
section of this guide.
Feature programmming
The feature programming procedure is used to access and change any of the feature settings in the three

3-1 NUISANCE PREVENTION CIRCUITRY (NPC) ON/OFF: These settings control the number of times a sensor 
can trigger the system within a given time period.
NPC  ON  (Default):  In  this  setting  any  source  (sensor  or  trunk  switch)  that  triggers  more  than  3  times 
within 1 hour period will be bypassed for a minimum of 1 hour. If within that 1 hour the systems sees 
the same source (sensor or trunk switch) trigger again it will not activate the siren/horn and will restart 
the 1 hour timer.
NOTE: Door switches and the ignition switch are exempt to the description above.
NPC OFF: In this setting the sensors will trigger repeatedly until the system is disarmed.
3-2  ARM  FUNCTION  OFF-ARM  ONLY/  (Grouped  MULTI-LEVEL  ARMING/PANIC/AUX  CH):  These  settings 
change  the  system  ability  to  activate  multi-level  arming,  panic  or  auxiliary  channel  while  pressing  the 
Lock button. 
When set ARM ONLY, the system will be re-armed at successive presses on lock button.
When set PANIC, the system will switch on panic function while the user press lock button for the second 
time. Panic will cease when arming/disarming with original remote. 
When  programmed  on  AUX  CH,  the  system  will  activate  the  auxiliary  channel  when  pressing  the  Lock 
button for the second time. 
When programmed on Multi-level Arming, the system will activate the Multi-level Arming function when 
pressing the Lock button for the second time.
NOTE:  The second press must be between 3 to 7 seconds from first press. 
Grouped multi-level arming
After arming, press the LOCK button again. The parking lights or turn signal will flash 3 times, the siren/
horn will chirp 3 times and all sensor warn-away and full alarm zones will be bypassed. All remaining zones 
are still active (door, hood, trunk, and ignition). 
Aux channel
After arming, press the LOCK button again. The security system will activate the auxiliary output (N1/3) 
and will start bypass all sensor zones for 30 seconds. During the first 3 seconds the security system will 
monitor the trunk status and/or N1/8 Blue/White (-) Status input: If either input is active, the security 
system will bypass all sensors and the trunk when open, and flash the parking lights.  After the trunk is 
closed the sensors will be bypassed for another 20 seconds.
WARNING! If the AUX CHANNEL option is used for Remote Start activation the following must be taken 
into consideration:
-  The  Remote  start  status  output  of  the  remote  start  module  has  to  be  connected  to  the 
N1/8 Blue/White - (-) Status input in order for ignition and sensors to be bypassed during remote start. 
 2007 Directed Electronicsall rights reserved 2
After  the  Status  input    is  deactivated,  the  system  will  bypass  sensors  for  another  20  seconds  and  the 
ignition for 5 seconds.
- During the remote start the module will flash the lights. 
-  During  the  remote  start,  the  unit  will  ignore  any  activation  of  the  OEM  remote  start  (if  present)  from 
the OEM transmitter.
- In some vehicles such as Honda and Acura, the keyless entry remotes are inactive while the vehicle is 
running. You have to use the key to enter the running vehicle if the system is install one of those vehicle. 
Turning the key in the key cylinder will disarm the system. You can not shut down the remote start with 
the OEM transmitter either. 
3-3 PROGRESSIVE DOOR TRIGGER ON/OFF: These settings control the siren/horn output when the system is 
set off by the door trigger input.
PROGRESIVE DOOR TRIGGER ON (default): In this setting if the door is opened while the system is armed 
the siren will chirp (the horn will honk) 10 times prior to the constant siren/horn output. This is still an 
instant trigger and closing the door quickly will not stop the trigger sequence.
PROGRESIVE  DOOR  TRIGGER  OFF:  In  this  setting  if  the  door  is  opened  while  the 
system  is  armed  the  siren/horn  will  emit  a  constant  siren/horn  output  immediately.

to 180 seconds in length. 
FEATURE PROGRAMMING (UNLOCKED/LOCKED): 
UNLOCKED (default): In this setting the features can be changed using the Valet switch and the vehicle 
OEM transmitter.

VALET CODE: These settings change the number of times the Valet switch must be pressed to disarm the 
system without the transmitter.
1 pulse (default): Setting is 1 pulse
2-5 pulses: These settings will make it more difficult for a thief to defeat the system.
ZAP FUNCTION   This button will reset all the features to default.
