You have only 5
seconds between transmitters to begin teaching a new transmitter.
3) Factory Anti-Theft Systems
Many vehicles come with an anti-theft system that must be tempo-
rarily bypassed for the vehicle to be remotely started. Some systems
use a resistor in the key. Others use a transponder- a small device in
the key that communicates a high security code to the vehicle before
the vehicle will successfully start.
Check the list of vehicles and the types of security systems on the
following page. If your vehicle is listed, your vehicle has an Anti-
Theft System that the remote starter MUST temporarily bypass in
order to start the vehicle. More information about the factory anti-
theft systems and vehicle wire colors can be found at the DesignTech
website
www.designtech-intl.com
.
The Universal Alarm Bypass Module, sold under model #s 20402 or
29402 will temporarily bypass the factory anti-theft systems when
using the remote starter. Vehicle-specific anti-theft bypass modules
and door lock modules are also available. Check with your local re-
tailer/installer to purchase the Universal Alarm Bypass Module or
contact Directed Electronics at 1-800-876-0800.

All General Motors (GM) rear wheel drive vehicles
built prior to 1995 with automatic transmissions
and all Dodge Dakota trucks with automatic
transmissions built prior to 1996 have a
MECHANICAL type of NEUTRAL SAFETY
SWITCH. All vehicles built after 1996 use an
electrical type of neutral safety switch.
Ap12 volts to the starter wire on any vehicle vehicle
using a mechanical neutral safety switch will engage the vehicle’s
starter, regardless of the shifter’s position. When the shifter is
in Park or Neutral, the vehicle will just start up normally. If the
vehicle is accidentally left in gear and power is applied to the
start wire, such as by a remote starter,
the vehicle will lurch
forward or back as it attempts to start.
To test if your GM or Dodge vehicle is using a mechanical
neutral safety switch system, you will only be able to remove
the key from the ignition switch when the shifter is in the
Park or Neutral position.
To prevent this problem from occurring when installing a
DesignTech remote starter on a GM rear wheel drive vehicle
or Dodge Dakota built prior to 1996:
1. You must not program out the Enable Feature (option
#7). This is a safety feature that requires the user to turn
the control switch OFF and then ON again each time
they exit the vehicle in order for the unit to be operational.
This feature will ensure that the user of the vehicle with
the remote starter installed has made a conscious
decision to allow the remote starter to start the vehicle
the next time the transmitter button is depressed.
2. You must use the relay drawing below to create a circuit
that will prevent the remote starter on these GM and
Dodge vehicles from starting the vehicle unless the key
is completely removed from the ignition switch.
As with any aftermarket installation, please research and
learn as much as you can about the vehicle before you start
the install. Instructions, technical tips and detailed wiring
information is available on
www.designtech-intl.com
.
Please refer to the information on the website before starting
ANY install or call Directed Technical Support at
800-876-0800.
NOTICE to Installers of Remote Vehicle Starters
We DO NOT recommend installing ANY remote
starter in the following vehicles:
Audi 1998+, BMW 1998+, Jaguar 1998+, Land
Rover 1998+, Mercedes 1998+, Range Rover
1998+, Volvo 1999+
As with any aftermarket installation, please research and learn
as much as you can about the vehicle before you start the
install.
