system maintenance
➤
This system needs no specific maintenance beyond 2-way remote
control battery replacement. The 2-way remote is powered by a
1.5V AAA battery.
Low Battery Notification
If the battery is low (and this feature is programmed On) the 2-
way remote will emit 2 long beeps 5-seconds after a transmission
is completed. The 2 long beeps will repeat every 25seconds up to
3 times (or until a 2-way remote button is pressed).
Battery Replacement
Gently pull the end of the battery door away from the top of the
remote control then slide the door up to expose the battery and
remove the expired battery. Place the new battery into the remote
control observing the correct polarity. When power is returned
the remote control will light all icons and generate melodies
(representing all beeper tones).

remote operation
The remote start system operates at 434 MHz and incorporates
Directed’s proprietary XHF2 out-board technology transceiver. The
high frequency combined with Binary Data communication achieves
superior range with two-way communication.
system signal paging features
➤
A page is the signal the control module sends to the remote control
as confirmation of receipt of a command or alarm system status.
When the remote control receives a page it will generate a page
notification to the user (notifications are audible beeps) and the
LED Icons will display the current system status.
Command Page
When a command (arm/disarm, or auxiliary channel) from the
remote control is sent and received, the system will send a
command page back to confirm receipt.
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.
7
Alarm Page
If the alarm system is triggered while armed, an Alarm Page will
be sent to the remote control. When the remote receives an
Alarm Page, the LED icons will display the alarm system status
information and the remote control will generate beeps.
An Alarm Page alert is a series of 10 or 4 rapid beeps and the Red
LED will illuminate. This will repeat every 100 seconds to alert
the user that the alarm system was triggered and will continue
until the alarm page is cleared.
If the shock sensor or optional sensor has triggered the alarm the
remote will display the alarm page with 6 Red LED flashes and
10 rapid beeps.
If the trunk, door, ignition, or hood triggered the alarm the
remote will display the alarm page with the Red LED illumi-
nating for 3-seconds and 4 rapid beeps (repeated 5 times)
Page Recognition (Acknowledgement)
To clear a page alert/notification, quickly press any button on the
remote control. This can be performed at any time during or after
the page notification has occurred.
The remote control will not send a command to the system at
this time; it will only clear future repeats of the page notification.
The next time a button is pressed on the remote control it will
send a command to the system.

out of range notification
➤
If a command is issued from the remote, but the remote is
beyond the range of the vehicle to receive the command, the
remote responds with 2 sets of 3 quick beeps and the Green LED
will flash 6-times.
programming 2-way remote

using your system
The buttons used in the instructions in this manual correspond
to the standard configuration. Remember, this is not the only
way your 2-way remote may be set up. It can be custom config-
ured to meet your needs.
active arming
➤
You can arm the system by pressing
of your 2-way remote
for one second. When the system arms, from the vehicle you will
hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash
once. If the power door locks are controlled by the system, the
doors will also lock. While the system is armed, the in-vehicle’s
status LED will flash approximately once per second, indicating
that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.
10
second chirp after arming and note that the in-vehicle’s status
LED is flashing in groups, see the Diagnostics Section of this
guide. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.
The remote responds to active arming with one beep and the
Orange LED will flash 3-times to indicate successful arming of
the system.
If after 2-seconds the remote beeps once and the Orange and
Red LEDs flash 3-times, the system has detected an active sensor
that should be checked.
If after 2-seconds the remote beeps once, the Orange LED flashes
6-times and the Red LED lights for 3-seconds, the system has
detected an open door, hood or trunk and has been bypassed.
passive arming
➤
The system can be programmed to arm itself automatically (called
passive arming). If the system is programmed for passive arming, it
will automatically arm 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off
and the system detects that you have left the vehicle by opening and
closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive
arming countdown, the in-vehicle status LED will flash twice as
fast as it does when the system is armed. At the 20-second point of
the countdown, the siren will chirp to indicate that the system is
about to arm. At the 30-second point, the parking lights will flash
to indicate that the system is armed.
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.
11
The remote responds to passive arming with one beep and the
Orange LED will flash 3-times to indicate successful arming of
the system.
note: If any protected entry point (such as a door or a
switch-protected trunk or hood) is open, the system will
not passively arm (unless forced passive arming is pro-
grammed on. See Programming Options section.) Addi-
tionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming
countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
When armed your vehicle is protected as follows:
®
➤ Light impacts trigger the Warn Away signal. When triggered,
the siren chirps and the parking lights flash for a few seconds.
➤ Heavy impacts trip a Triggered Sequence. The sequence
consists of the siren sounding continuously and the parking
lights flashing for a pre-programmed period, which can
range in duration from 1 to 180 seconds.
➤ If a door is opened, the system will immediately start
chirping the siren and flashing the parking lights. Three
seconds later, the siren output changes to a continuous blast.
This progressive response gives you time to disarm the sys-
tem with your 2-way remote if you inadvertently open the
door while the system is armed, while still providing instant
response (even if the door is immediately closed).
➤ Turning on the ignition key will trip the same progressive re-
sponse as opening a door.
➤ The optional starter kill prevents the vehicle’s starter from
cranking.
➤ Any full trigger of the alarm system will immediately send an
alarm page to your remote informing you that your vehicle
should be checked.

multi-level security arming
➤
Multi-Level Security Arming allows you to select which of the
system's inputs or sensors will be active and which will be
bypassed when the system is armed. (See Table of Zones section
of this guide.) Pressing
again within five seconds of arming the system will activate the
Multi-Level Security feature. Each time is pressed again, a
(only in Standard Configuration)
different security level is selected. The different security levels are
selected as follows:
➤ Press
once: The siren chirps once. The system is armed.
a second time within five seconds: The siren
➤ Press
chirps twice followed by a long chirp. Zone 2 is now
bypassed.
➤ Press
a third time within five seconds: The siren chirps
three times followed by a long chirp. Zone 4 is now
bypassed.
➤ Press
a fourth time within five seconds: The siren chirps
four times followed by a long chirp. Zones 2 and 4 are now
bypassed.
➤ Press
a fifth time within five seconds: The siren chirps
five times followed by a long chirp. All input zones, except
the ignition, are now bypassed.
note: Multi-Level Security Arming only applies to a sin-
gle arming cycle. Once the system is disarmed and then
re-armed, all the zones will be active again.

arming while driving
➤
Your security system can be armed while driving the vehicle! Simply
press on the 2-way remote for two seconds while the vehicle is
running. The siren will chirp once to indicate that the security
system is armed, and then once more to indicate that the ignition is
on. The system will not respond to any input except the door trig-
gers, and the starter kill relay (if installed) will not be activated. Once
you have arrived at your destination, the system can be disarmed by
pressing the
or by turning the ignition Off. The siren will chirp
twice and the in-vehicle status LED will then stop flashing. The
.
system can also be disarmed at any time by pressing
The remote will respond with the normal arming response plus a
diagnostic notification because the ignition On. When disarmed
the remote will respond with the normal disarming response.
disarming
➤
To disarm the security system, press
. You will hear two
chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If the power locks
are controlled by the system, the doors will also unlock. The
siren chirping either four or five times when disarming indicates
Tamper Alert, which is described in the Diagnostics Section of
this guide.
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.
14
The remote will indicate disarm notification with 2 beeps and 3
flashes of the Orange LED. If disarming after the system has
been triggered, the remote control will send a diagnostic notifi-
cation as a reminder. These diagnostic notifications are:
1. If a sensor triggered the system, the remote will beep 4-times
and the Orange and Red LEDs flash 3 times.
2. If a switch (Zone 1, 3, 5, or 6) triggered the system, the
remote will beep 4-times, the Orange LED will flash 6-times
and Red LED will illuminate for 3 seconds.
3. If the system was triggered so many times that NPC is active
the remote will emit the above notifications with 5 beeps
instead of 4.
high security disarm
➤
This system includes High Security Disarm feature. If the system
is triggered this feature allows the user to silence the siren and
reset the system to the armed state without having to visually
checking the system status.
After receiving an alarm page:
1. First press any button on the remote to clear the alarm page.
2. Press either the
or
button again and the High
Security disarm feature will be activated. The siren will be
silenced and the system will reset to the armed state.
3. Pressing the
button once more will fully disarm the
system and allow the vehicle to be accessed.

notes: The first press of the remote button, while the
remote is beeping, only clears the alarm page (no com-
mand is sent to the vehicle).
The transceiver transmits immediately upon system trig-
ger and does not allow disarm during the first 6 seconds
after trigger.
The 2-way remote will respond with a number of beeps
and LED flashes according to whether a pinswitch, sen-
sor, activated the alarm (and also if NPC is active).
disarming without a 2-way remote
➤
This feature allows you to disarm the security system without the 2-
way remote should it be lost, damaged, or disabled. In order to dis-
arm the system without a 2-way remote, you must have the vehicle’s
®
ignition key and know where the Valet button is located. Be sure
to check with the installer for the location and the number of presses
®
of the Valet button required to disarm the system.
To disarm the security system,
turn the ignition to the ON posi-
®
tion. Press the Valet button the
DRW-35
preset number of times (one to
five times) within 15 seconds. After five seconds the system will
disarm. If the system does not disarm, you may have waited too long;
turn the ignition Off and On and try again.

important! The unit can be programmed to respond to
®
one to five pulses of the Valet button for the disarm
function. Be sure to check with the installer for the
desired programming.
The remote will indicate disarm notification with 2 beeps and 3
flashes of the Orange LED.
silent mode
➤
To temporarily turn off the arm or disarm chirps, use Silent
Mode™. Simply press
for less than one second before
arming or disarming, and the confirmation chirp(s) will be elim-
inated for that one operation only. If you want the arm/disarm
chirps turned off permanently, your dealer can do this for you.
note: The Warn Away® response to lighter impacts is
bypassed if the system is armed using Silent Mode. This
ensures that no chirps will be emitted by the siren in an area
you want chirp-free. The system is still fully capable of trig-
gering. Only the Warn Away® response is bypassed.
The remote responds with the normal arm/disarm notifications
in silent mode. (If the remote has beeps programmed On, the
remote will beep.)

panic mode
➤
If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract
attention by triggering the system with your 2-way remote. Just
press
for two seconds, and you will enter Panic Mode. The
siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for the
programmed siren duration. To stop Panic Mode at any time,
press
on the 2-way remote again.
The remote responds with one flash of the Red LED upon
entering Panic Mode and two flashes of the Red LED upon
exiting Panic Mode.
valet® mode
➤
You can prevent your security system from automatically arming
®
and triggering by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when
®

nuisance prevention® circuitry
➤
®
Your system has Directed’s Nuisance Prevention Circuitry
®
(NPC ). It prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to
faulty door pin switches or environmental conditions such as
thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc.
Example
If the alarm triggers three times within a 60-minute period and
®
each time the same sensor or switch triggers the alarm, NPC will
interpret those triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger,
®
NPC ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any
other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.
If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is being
bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This ensures
that a sensor that continually triggers will remain bypassed.
®
Doors are covered by NPC differently; if the alarm is triggered
by an open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed
until the trigger ceases.
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.
19
note: Arming and disarming the system does not reset this
function.The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it
to not trigger for 60 minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If
testing your system, it is important to remember that the
NPC® programming can cause zones to be bypassed and
appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard when dis-
arming, NPC® has been engaged. If you wish to clear the
NPC® memory, turn the ignition key on.
®
NPC is programmable. See Programming Options section of
this guide.

diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is
constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are
connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and
prevents them from disabling the entire system. The micropro-
cessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred
during your absence. Refer to the System Status Chirps and
Table of Zones charts for diagnostic information.
arming diagnostics
➤
If the security system is armed at the same time that an input is
active (such as a door opening or sensor triggering), you will hear
one siren chirp to indicate arming and a second siren chirp to
indicate Bypass Notification. A Bypass Notification chirp means
that the security system ignores the input that was active when
the system was armed, until that input ceases. Three seconds
after that input ceases, the security system will resume normal
monitoring. For example, if your vehicle has an interior light exit
delay and you arm your security system before the interior light
turns off, you may hear a second Bypass Notification chirp.
Once the light turns off, however, the security system resumes
normal monitoring.

21
disarming diagnostics
➤
Extra disarm chirps are the Tamper Alert. If four chirps are heard
when disarming, the system was triggered in your absence. If five
chirps are heard, a zone was triggered so many times that Nuisance
®
Prevention Circuitry has bypassed that zone. The in-vehicle status
LED will indicate which zone was involved. (See Table of Zones
section of this guide.) The system will retain this information in its
memory, and continue to chirp four or five times each time it is
disarmed, until the next time the ignition key is turned on.

interpreting zone diagnostics
➤
Warn Away responses are not reported by arming or disarming
diagnostics. If you receive a Bypass notification when arming or
a Tamper Alert notification when disarming, look at the in-
vehicle status LED. Active or triggered zones will be indicated by
a pattern of blinks by this LED.
Example
If Zone 3 was active or triggered, the in-vehicle LED will blink
three times with a two-second pause. Then it will blink three
times again, and repeat until the ignition is turned on.
note: Your system stores the last two triggered zones in
memory. If your system has been triggered but the LED
has been reset by turning on the ignition, your dealer can
still recall the last two zones that were triggered. Contact
your dealer for details.

code hopping
The receiver and 2-way remotes each use mathematical formulas
called algorithms to change their codes each time the 2-way
remote is used. This technology has been developed to increase
the security of the unit. The control unit knows what the next
codes should be. This helps to keep the 2-way remote "in sync"
with the control unit even if you use the 2-way remote out of
range of the vehicle. However, if the 2-way remote has been
pressed many times out of range of the vehicle, or if the battery
has been removed, it may get out of sync with the control unit
and fail to operate the system. To re-sync the 2-way remote
simply press
of the 2-way remote several times within range
of the vehicle. The alarm will automatically re-sync and respond
to the 2-way remotes normally.
high frequency
Your system transmits and receives at 434 MHz. This provides a
cleaner spectrum with less interference and a more stable signal.
Enjoy a phenomenal increase in range – even in areas with high
radio interference.

owner recognition
Owner Recognition is a feature available exclusively from
Directed. Using the Directed Bitwriter, a hand-held program-
ming tool, your dealer can program many of the system settings.
The programmer makes it possible to program different settings
for each 2-way remote that is used with the system. Then, when-
ever a specific 2-way remote is used, the system will recall the
settings assigned to that 2-way remote. Owner Recognition lets
up to four users of the system have different settings that meet
their specific needs. It is almost like having four separate alarms
in your vehicle, one for each user.
note: Owner Recognition cannot be programmed with-
out a Directed Bitwriter and the necessary software.
Check with your dealer for more information.
rapid resume logic
This Directed system will store its current state to non-volatile
memory. If power is lost and then reconnected, the system will
recall the stored state from memory. This means if the unit is in
®
Valet Mode and the battery is disconnected for any reason, such
as servicing the car, when the battery is reconnected the unit will
®
still be in Valet Mode. This applies to all states of the system
®
®
including arm, disarm, VRS , and Valet Mode.

25
power saver mode
Your system will automatically enter Power Saver Mode while
®
armed or in Valet Mode, after a period of time in which no
operation has been performed. This lowers the current draw to
the vehicle’s battery. Power Saver Mode takes over under the
following conditions:
➤ Power Saver when the system is armed: After the system has
been armed for 24 hours, the in-vehicle LED will flash at
half its normal rate, decreasing the system's current draw.
®
®
➤ Power Saver in Valet Mode: When the system enters Valet
Mode the in-vehicle LED illuminates steadily. If the vehicle
is not used (ignition is not turned on) for a period of one
®
hour while the system is in Valet Mode, the LED will shut
®
off. If the system remains in Valet Mode, the LED will
come back on the next time the ignition is turned on and
then back off.
programming options
Programming options control what your system does during
normal operation, and require few or no additional parts.
However, some may require additional installation labor.

that the security system will be armed in every situation.
note: When the system passively arms after one hour, the
entry point that has been left open, and anything con-
nected to the same zone, is bypassed and cannot trigger
the system. However, the remaining inputs to the system
are fully operational.

➤ Automatic Engine Disable (AED) on or : The purpose of
this feature is to protect the vehicle from being stolen at all
times, regardless of whether or not the alarm is armed. If
AED is programmed on, the starter of the vehicle will be dis-
abled 30 seconds after the ignition is turned off. Once the
key is turned off, the in-vehicle LED will flash slowly (one-
half its normal armed rate) to indicate the AED arming
cycle. Thirty seconds later, the starter of the vehicle will be
disabled. To start the car, it will be necessary to disarm the
system with the 2-way remote. It is also possible to disarm
the AED feature by turning the ignition key to the RUN
®
position and pressing the Valet button the programmed
number of times. AED is disabled when the system is in

installation options
The system has many options that may require extra parts and
labor. Some of the possibilities are listed here.
➤ Progressive unlocking: In most cars with electric power door
locks, the system can be configured so that when the system is
disarmed, only the driver’s door unlocks. A second press of the
button unlocks the other doors.

➤ Vehicle Recovery System (VRS ): VRS is an anti-carjacking
device designed to help in the safe recovery of your vehicle
in case of a carjacking. Please refer to the Vehicle Recovery
System section of this guide for a complete explanation of
how the Vehicle Recovery System operates.
vehicle recovery system (vrs®)
®
The optional VRS feature is designed to ensure that any unautho-
rized user of your vehicle (even if using your keys and 2-way remote)
will not be able to permanently separate you from your vehicle.
®
The VRS cannot prevent a carjacking attempt; however, it does
ensure that if your vehicle is taken by an unauthorized user, it will
be disabled (after several progressive warnings) as safely as
®
possible. Should a carjacking occur, the VRS allows you to
concern yourself with your personal safety without worrying
about your property.

30
®
Directed has engineered this vehicle security system, the Failsafe
®
Starter Kill, and the VRS feature to provide the best combina-
tion of personal safety and property protection available. When
properly installed, the system can never inadvertently stop your
vehicle in traffic or on railroad tracks while the vehicle is in oper-
ation. It is unlike other systems that shut down your engine
while it is running. This system is designed to perform starter in-
®
terrupt, or starter kill. The Failsafe Starter Kill cannot shut
down an already-running engine – it can only prevent an engine
from starting in the first place.
important! Any installation that allows this product to
shut down a vehicle's engine when it is running is con-
trary to the product’s design and intended usage, and
Directed hereby expressly disclaims any liability resulting
therefrom.
®
arming the vrs
To arm the VRS , turn the ignition to the ON position and press
➤
®
the arm button on the 2-way remote for one second. The parking
lights will flash and the siren will chirp once. This can be done
before driving or while driving the vehicle. Once the system is
armed, it will initiate its triggered sequence (see below) if any
door is opened and closed. If you are forced from the vehicle, the
system will trigger as the door is opened and closed. This is how
the system works to combat intersection carjacking. To protect
®
against parking lot carjacking, arm the VRS before leaving the
vehicle. The system will now trigger automatically the next time
you or anyone drives the vehicle. This helps to protect the vehicle
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.
31
if someone takes your keys and 2-way remote by force in a
parking lot.
®
note: If the VRS system is armed while operating the vehi-
cle and not disarmed prior to leaving the vehicle, it is still
armed and will trigger the next time the vehicle is driven.
®
vrs triggered sequence
➤
Fifteen seconds after the last door has closed, the in-vehicle LED
will begin flashing. This delay is intended to allow you time to
distance yourself from your vehicle in the event of a carjacking.
Forty-five seconds later, the siren begins chirping and the park-
ing lights begin flashing. This time could be used to notify au-
thorities that your vehicle has been hijacked, and tell them what
®
the VRS will do next.
Fifteen seconds after the siren chirps begin, the siren’s output will
change to a continuous blast.
®
From this point on, when the ignition key is turned off, the VRS
will immediately turn on the starter kill. This will prevent the
vehicle from being restarted, thus immobilizing it at that spot.
Three minutes after the constant siren output begins, the flashing
parking lights and the siren will stop. The starter kill will remain
active until the system is disarmed. If the door is opened or the
ignition is turned off and on in an attempt to restart the car, the
siren and light flashing will begin again.

disarming the vrs®
Take the time to familiarize yourself with the VRS triggering se-
quence and the disarm procedure. It is important to recognize
➤
®
®
and identify the VRS trigger sequence and know how to disarm
it in case of accidental activation.
®
Once the VRS is armed, it does not disarm automatically. You
must disarm it the next time you operate the vehicle. You must
disarm it with one of the following procedures:
If the system has not entered the triggered sequence (siren has
not started chirping):
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. Press
on the 2-way remote for one second.
The lights will flash and the siren will chirp twice.
If the system has entered the triggered sequence (siren has begun
chirping), pressing the disarm button of the 2-way remote will not
®
®
®
disarm VRS . To disarm the VRS during a VRS trigger sequence:
1. Turn the ignition on.
®
2. Press the Valet button the pre-
DRW-35
programmed number of times to
disarm the VRS system.
®
note: If the VRS system has begun its chirping sequence,
the ignition must be turned off, then on to disarm. If you
are driving the vehicle at the time, pull to a safe place
away from traffic and follow the triggered sequence dis-
arm procedure.

glossary of terms
2-Way Remote: Hand-held, 2-way transceiver which operates the
various functions of your system.
Control Unit: The "brain" of your system. Usually hidden under
the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which
monitors your vehicle and controls all of the system's functions.
Fail Safe Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the secu-
rity system which prevents the vehicle’s starter from cranking
whenever the system is armed. The vehicle is never prevented from
®
cranking when the system is disarmed, in Valet mode, or should
the starter interrupt switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this
feature, however installation may require additional labor.
Input: A physical connection to the system. An input can be
provided by a sensor, pinswitch or through an existing system in
the vehicle, such as ignition or courtesy lights.
In-vehicle status LED: A light mounted somewhere in the vehicle.
It is used to indicate the status of your system. It is also used to
report triggers and faults in the system or sensors.
Shock Sensor: This is a sensor mounted in the vehicle that is
designed to pick up impacts to the vehicle or glass.
Siren: Noise generating device usually installed in the engine
compartment of the vehicle. It is responsible for generating the
"chirps" you hear, as well as the six tones you hear while the
alarm is triggered.
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.
34
Trigger or Triggered Sequence: This is what happens when the
alarm "goes off" or "trips". The triggered response of your
system consists of the siren sounding and parking light flashing
for the programmed duration.
Valet® Button: A small push-button switch mounted somewhere
inside the vehicle. It is used to override the alarm when a 2-way
®
remote is lost or damaged, or to enter or exit Valet mode.
Warn Away Response: Lighter impacts to the vehicle will generate
the Warning Zone response. It consists of several seconds of siren
chirps and parking light flashes.
Zone: A zone is a separate input that the alarm can recognize as
unique. Each input to the system is connected to a particular
zone. Two or more inputs often share the same zone.
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.
35
security & convenience expansions
Here we have listed only some of the many expansion options
available. Please contact your dealer for a complete explanation
of all the options available to you.
Audio Sensor: Metal on glass, glass cracking, and breaking glass
each produce distinctive acoustic signatures. The 506T audio
sensor uses a microphone to pick up sounds, and then analyzes
them with proprietary acoustic software to determine if the glass
has been struck.
Backup Battery: The 520T keeps the system armed, triggers the alarm
and keeps the starter kill active if main battery power is disconnected.
Field Disturbance Sensor: An invisible dome of coverage is estab-
lished by installing the 508D "radar" sensor. Your security
system can then react to any intrusions into this field with the
triggered sequence.
Headlight and Parking Light Automation: The 545T Nite-Lite®
will automatically turn on your parking and headlights when it
gets dark. In addition, the 545T will turn your headlights on
whenever the windshield wipers are used. A 2-way remote func-
tion can also be used to turn on your parking and headlights for
a programmed time.
Power Trunk Release: The channel two output of the system can
operate a factory power release for the vehicle’s trunk or hatch.
(An additional relay may be required.) If the factory release is not
© 2004 directed electronics, inc.
36
power activated, then Directed's 522T trunk release solenoid can
often be added.
Power Window Control: Automatic power window control is pro-
vided with the 529T and 530T systems.
Mobile Video: This system is compatible with Directed Video’s
MCB1000 Multi-Channel Controller, featuring on-screen secu-
rity system programming and zone trigger information.
®
Valet® Start System: For the ultimate in convenience, the Valet
start system can start your vehicle, monitor engine functions,
and power your climate control system with a push of a button.
Over-rev protection, open-hood lockout, brake pedal shutoff,
and automatic timer shutoff are all included. (This feature is
only for automatic transmission, fuel-injected gasoline vehicles.)
543T XHFplus External Receiver/Antenna: The 543T XHFplus
external receiver/antenna can be used to upgrade the trans-
mitter/receiver performance in areas of high radio interference
such as military bases, airports, and hospitals.
