Introduction

This guide provides information on the installation of the DS3/DS3+ and DS4/DS4+ modules as a digital solution. Using these modules in a

digital conﬁguration requires the module to be ﬂashed with vehicle-speciﬁc ﬁrmware. Refer to our website (www.directechs.com) and click

on the DIRECTLINK text in the header for additional information.

DS3/DS3+ and DS4/DS4+ modules provide an all-in-one solution for most modern vehicles, and include remote start, keyless entry, security,

and immobilizer bypass capabilities. T-harnesses may also be used in many applications for easy installation.

The following methods are available to conﬁgure modules:

• Web: www.directechs.com (DS3/DS3+ and DS4/DS4+)

• Desktop application: Directlink DT (DS3/DS3+ and DS4/DS4+)

• Mobile device: Directlink App (DS4/DS4+ only)

When ﬂashing via Directlink DT (desktop app) or via the Web, an XKloader2 will be required.

To conﬁgure via Web or DirectLink DT (desktop app):

1. Disconnect the main module from any (+) 12V power source.

2. Connect the module to your computer using the XKLoader2.

3. Follow the steps in the pop-up window that will be displayed when the module is detected.

Notes:

•Flashing via web is only possible using Internet Explorer on Windows 8, 8.1, and 10.

•This method is not compatible with any other browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, etc.).

•When using Windows 11 or newer, Directlink DT is mandatory.

The DS4/DS4+ module is designed to be conﬁgured using the DirectLink application through mobile devices.

To download the DirectLink mobile application, visit the Google Play or Apple store. They can also be

conﬁgured via Web and DirectLink DT. The DS4/DS4+ features are built in Bluetooth® 4.0, allowing you to

conﬁgure and control your system. The DS3/DS3+ module is not equipped with Bluetooth®, therefore is not

compatible with the DirectLink app for mobile devices.

To conﬁgure via DirectLink mobile app (Android/iOS):

1. Follow and complete the wiring diagram(s) related to your installation through the app.

2. When installation is complete, select Conﬁgure DS4/DS4+.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Pre-installation and application warnings

Firmware notes: This section highlights important information for this speciﬁc ﬁrmware and will assist in

pricing accordingly, as well as bringing awareness to any operational or vehicle limitations.

T-Harness

compatible THVWN1 Keys required for

programming 1Keys required for

operation 1

Important: Version 2.00 and higher use different input/output conﬁgurations and are NOT compatible with the wiring

instructions of previous versions. Updating an older version to version 2.00 or higher will require wiring modiﬁcations.

Note: Damage to the vehicle may occur if the appropriate wiring modiﬁcations are not done.

During remote start sequence, the car console will indicate "no key located". This is normal due to the key wrapped in the

installation. At vehicle takeover, the message will disappear.

This ﬁrmware does not support transponder override. One (1) programmed OEM key must be wired into the vehicle to

complete installation of a remote starter.

The optional Plug & Play THVWN1 T-Harness is sold separately.

The OBDII Diagnostic Connector features will remain the same even when the T-Harness is installed.

Important! All T-Harness wires NOT listed in the diagram are NOT required for the installation. Loose wires such as Siren

Output and Hood Input may need to be pulled from the tapped section of the T-Harness. Refer to the “Wiring diagram with

T-Harness” for more information on connections and installation instructions..

Unless speciﬁed otherwise, all connectors are displayed from the wire side, with the exception of the OBDII diagnostic

connector.

It is important to check that the fuses are positioned correctly in the module. Proper fuse positioning is displayed on each

wiring diagram.

Refer to the "Vehicle connections" following the installation diagram.

General notes: This section highlights important information for this speciﬁc ﬁrmware.

[1] The installation of an aftermarket hood pin is ONLY required on vehicles that are NOT equipped with a factory hood pin.

[2] The siren is ONLY required when enabling the security features during module ﬂashing.

[3] For Key Wrap instructions refer to the "Immobilizer interface" section.

[4] For security-only installations, refer to the "Locating components in the vehicle" section for Optional starter disable connection.
