It is also necessary to keep your proof of purchase which reflects that the product was installed by an authorized dealer. Make sure you receive the warranty card from your dealer.

FCC/ID Notice

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this device.

Using Your System

Arming
You can activate, or arm, the system by locking the doors with your factory keyless entry transmitter. When the system arms, you will hear a short siren sound, or chirp, and see the parking lights flash once. While the system is armed, the status LED will flash about twice a second, showing that the system is actively protecting your vehicle. If you hear a second chirp after arming, and see the status LED flashing in groups, see Diagnostics section. This extra chirp is called Bypass Notification.

NOTE: If the ignition is turned on within 60 seconds of arming the system, the system will automatically disarm.
The system also 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 sees you leave the vehicle by opening and closing a door. Whenever the system is in its 30-second passive-arming countdown, the status LED will flash twice as fast as it does when the system is armed. When the system arms the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash once. The doors lock (if connected and programmed for passive locking).
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. Additionally, each time a sensor is triggered during the arming countdown, the 30-second countdown starts over.
When armed, your vehicle is protected as follows: s Light impacts will trigger the warn away signal. When triggered, the siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash for a few seconds. s Heavy impacts will trigger the system. The triggered sequence is 30 or 60 seconds of constant siren and flashing parking lights. s 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 system with your transmitter if you inadvertently open the door while the system is armed, while still providing instant response (even if the door is immediately closed).
NOTE: If programmed for 15 second entry delay, the system will provide an instant trigger 15 seconds after the door has been opened (see Programming Options)
The starter interrupt prevents the vehicles starter from cranking.

Disarming

To disarm the system, unlock the doors using your factory keyless transmitter. You will hear two chirps, and the parking lights will flash twice. If the siren chirps either four or five times when disarming, refer to the Diagnostics section of this guide. This is called Tamper Alert.
Disarming the System Without a Transmitter
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 vehicle's ignition key and know where the Valet button is located. Be sure to check with the installer for the location of the Valet button. Turn the ignition to the run position. Press and release the Valet switch, 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.

Valet Mode

DRW-35
You can prevent your system from automatically arming and locking the doors, by using Valet Mode. This is very useful when washing the vehicle or having it serviced. In Valet Mode, the system will not arm, even with the transmitter, but all convenience functions (door locks, trunk release, etc.) will work normally.
To enter or exit Valet Mode with the Valet switch: Turn ignition to on position, then turn to off position. Press and release the Valet switch within 10 seconds. The status LED will light steady if you have entered Valet Mode. To exit Valet Mode, repeat the steps above. The LED will turn off when exiting Valet Mode.

Remote Valet

Remote Valet is a convenient feature that makes bypassing the security system easier. This feature makes it possible to exit or enter Valet Mode using your factory keyless transmitter. 1. 2. 3. 4. Open any door. Press LOCK on the transmitter. Press UNLOCK on the transmitter. Press LOCK on the transmitter.
The status LED will stay on if you have entered Valet Mode, and it will go out if you exited Valet Mode.
NOTE: The Remote Valet feature will not work with all factory keyless entry systems. Some keyless entry systems do not work with a door open.

Panic Mode

If you are threatened in or near your vehicle, you can attract attention by triggering the system with your transmitter! Just press the lock button on your factory keyless transmitter twice within three seconds to enter Panic Mode. The siren will sound and the parking lights will flash for 30 seconds. To stop Panic Mode at any time, press the unlock button on your factory transmitter.
NOTE: The system can also be programmed so that pressing the lock button twice within three seconds will activate an optional accessory. If the unit is programmed to activate an optional accessory, Panic Mode will not be operational.
Nuisance Prevention Circuitry
Your system has Nuisance Prevention Circuitry (NPC). This circuitry prevents annoying repetitive trigger sequences due to faulty door pin switches or environmental conditions such as thunder, jackhammers, airport noise, etc. Heres how it works: The alarm triggers three times. Each time, the same sensor or switch is triggering the alarm. The three triggers are within 60 minutes of each other. Your system will interpret this pattern of triggers as false alarms. After the third trigger, your system ignores, or bypasses, that sensor or switch (along with any other sensors or switches sharing the same zone) for 60 minutes.

Directed Electronics, Inc.
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 is continuously triggering will remain bypassed. Doors are covered differently: If the alarm is triggered by an open door for three full cycles (one-and-one-half minutes), the doors will be bypassed until the trigger ceases.
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 this circuitry can cause zones to be bypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard when disarming, false alarm protection has engaged. If you wish to clear the memory, turn the ignition key on.

Diagnostics

The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your absence.

Arming Diagnostics

If the system is armed with an input active (door open, sensor triggering, etc.) the unit will chirp once when arming and then one more time a few seconds later. This is called bypass notification.
Note: Bypass notification will not occur if chirps have been programmed OFF.
The system will ignore the input that was active when it was armed until it goes away. Three seconds later it will monitor that input normally. For example, if your car has interior light exit delay, and you arm the system before the interior light goes out, you may get bypass notification. Once the light goes out, however, the doors are monitored normally.

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 false alarm prevention circuitry has bypassed that zone. In either case, the status LED will indicate which zone was involved (see Table of Zones section). The system will retain this information in its memory, and chirp four or five times each time it is disarmed, until the next time the ignition key is turned on.

Table of Zones

The zone number is the number of LED flashes used by the system to identify that input. The standard input assignments are listed below, along with spaces to write in any optional sensors or switches you have had installed. ZONE

(Number LED Flashes)

DESCRIPTION
Instant trigger - often used for hood/trunk pin switches Instant trigger - a heavier impact detected by the shock sensor Door switch trigger Optional sensor Ignition trigger

DEALER-INSTALLED OPTIONS

If the Warn Away response is triggered, the LED will not report it.

Rapid Resume Logic

This DEI 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, and Valet Mode.

Programming Options

Programming options control what your system does during normal operation, and require little or no additional parts. However, some may require additional installation labor. The following is a list of the program settings, with the factory settings in bold: s s s s Active arming (only with the transmitter) or passive arming (automatic arming 30-seconds after closing the last door). Arming/disarming confirmation siren chirps on or off. Passive door locking (with passive arming). This feature only works if passive arming has been turned on. Valet Pulse Count: The number of pulses of the Valet switch required to disarm the security system are programmable from one to five pulses. The default setting is one pulse. Siren Tones and Chirp Volume: The output of the soft chirp siren consists of six different tones in sequence. Any of these tones can be eliminated by your dealer, resulting in a unique, easily identifiable siren sound. The chirps can either be full volume or six decibels quieter than the full alarm blast. Siren duration: The length of the triggered sequence can be programmed for 30 or 60 seconds. Door Trigger Instant or delayed: In the standard configuration the unit will provide a progressive response if the door is opened while the system is armed. The siren will chirp and the parking lights will flash for a few seconds followed by a full trig 1999 Directed Electronics, Inc.
ger response. In the delayed mode, nothing will happen for 15 seconds once the door is opened. After 15 seconds the unit will trigger the full trigger response. s Panic/Auxiliary Channel: This unit has the ability to control an optional accessory, such as power window control. In the default setting pressing the lock button twice will activate Panic Mode. If the unit is programmed for auxiliary channel, pressing the lock button twice will activate the channel. This feature is optional and will require additional parts and labor and results in the loss of Panic Mode.

Security & Convenience Expansions
Here we have listed only some of the many expansion options available. Please consult your dealer for a complete list of the options available for use with your system. Domelight Supervision: The domelight will illuminate for 30 seconds each time the system is disarmed using the transmitter. This is useful for seeing inside the vehicle at night prior to entering it. 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! Overrev protection, open-hood lockout, brake-pedal shutoff, and automatic timer shutoff are all included. (Only for automatic-transmission, fuel-injected gasoline vehicles).
1999 Directed Electronics, Inc. 13
Power Window Control: Power window control is provided with the 529T or 530T systems. The 529T system will roll up two windows automatically when the system is armed, or roll two windows down when you transmit channel 2 or 3, The 530T can roll two windows both up and down. The 530T also provides one touch switch operation.

Glossary of Terms

Control Unit: The brain of your system. Usually hidden underneath the dash area of the vehicle. It houses the microprocessor which monitors your vehicle and controls all of the alarms functions. Failsafe Starter Kill: An automatic switch controlled by the security system which prevents the vehicles 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 kill switch itself fail. Your system is ready for this feature, however installation of this feature may require additional labor. LED: Red 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.
Valet Switch: A small push button switch mounted somewhere inside the vehicle. It is used to override the alarm when a transmitter is lost or damaged, or to put it into Valet Mode. 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. Often, two or more inputs may share the same zone.

INSTALLATION POINTS TO REMEMBER
Before beginning the installation: Check with the customer on Status LED location. Use seat and fender covers to protect the vehicle. Remove the domelight fuse. This prevents accidentally draining the battery. Roll down a window to avoid being locked out of the car. Do not disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft coded radio. If equipped with an air bag, avoid disconnecting the battery if possible. Remove necessary under-dash trim panels to provide access for mounting the systems components. 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 multiplexed 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, which can require a trip to the dealer. After the install: Test all functions. The Using Your System section of the Owners Guide is very helpful when testing. When testing, dont forget that this system is equipped with Nuisance Prevention Circuitry. NPC. This circuitry can bypass both instant trigger zones, making them seem to stop working. Carefully reassemble the under-dash trim panels. Inspect the engine compartment for tools that may have been left behind. 2

TOOLS REQUIRED

This is a general list of tools required to complete the installation of this security system in most vehicles. Some vehicles may require additional tools. Digital multi-meter Wire cutters/strippers Solderless terminal crimpers Cordless power drill Torx driver set Nutdriver and/or socket set Panel removal tool Drill bit set Phillips head screwdriver Work light
DECIDING ON COMPONENT LOCATION
Some things to remember when mounting the siren: Keep it away from heat sources. Radiators, exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, and heat shields are all things to avoid. Mount it where a thief cannot easily disconnect it, whether the hood is open or shut. Both the siren and its wires should be difficult to find. This usually involves disguising the wire to look like a factory harness. We recommend against grounding the siren to its mounting screws. Instead, we recommend running both the red and black wires into the passenger compartment and grounding to one common point for all devices. After all, both wires are the same length and come already bonded together. Whenever possible, conceal your wires in the factory harnesses or in the same style loom as the factory. When possible, put the siren on the same side of the vehicle as the control module, where its wires will reach the control modules wires without extending them. Always run the wires through the center of a grommet, never through bare metal! Point the siren down so water does not collect in it.

Never put the control module in the engine compartment! The first step in hot-wiring a vehicle is removing the driver's side underdash 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 locating 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. The higher the control module is in the vehicle, the better the transmitter range will be. If you put the control module under a seat or inside a metal dashboard, range will suffer. Some good control module locations: Above the glove box, inside the center console, above the underdash fuse box, above the radio, etc.

Valet/program Switch

Ensure that the location you pick for the switch has sufficient clearance to the rear. The switch should be well hidden. It should be placed so passengers or stored items (such as in a glove box or center console) cannot accidentally hit it. The switch fits in a 9/32" hole.
IMPORTANT! When the vehicle is delivered, please show the user where the switch is located and how to disarm the system with it.

Status LED

Things to remember when positioning the Status LED: It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible. It needs at least 1/2" clearance to the rear. It is easiest to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel. Remove it before drilling your 9/32" hole. Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This allows mechanics or other installers to remove the panel without cutting the wires.

Starter Kill Relay

If the Starter Kill Relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of 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.

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 will be connected to. IMPORTANT! Do not use a 12V test light to find these wires! All testing described in this manual is described using a digital multimeter.

Obtaining Constant 12V

We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant supply to the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection. IMPORTANT! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red (H1/11) 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 the 12V Switched Ignition Wire
The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer). Accessory wires, on the other hand, lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current available to the starter motor. How to find (+)12V ignition with your multimeter: 1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine). 2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground. 3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ignition wire. The steering column harness or ignition switch harness is an excellent place to find this wire. 4. Turn the ignition key switch to the run position. If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesnt, probe another wire. 5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay steady, not dropping by more than a few tenths of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to zero, go back to step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V, you have found an ignition wire. N415A 5
Finding a (+) Parking Iight Wire
The (+) parking light wire is often found near the switch. Many cars have the switch built into the turn signal lever, and in these cars the parking light wire can be found in the steering column. The same wire is often available in the kick panel or running board.
How to find a (+) parking light flash wire with your multimeter
1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine). 2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground. 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. 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.
Finding the Door Pin Switch Circuit
The best places to find the door switch wire are: At the pin switch: When testing at the pin switch, check the wire to ensure that it sees all the doors. Often, the passenger switch will cover all the doors even if the drivers switch will not. At the dome light: This may not be your best choice if the vehicle has delayed domelight supervision, but it will work in vehicles with completely diode-isolated pin switches. Once you have determined the wire color, the easiest place to connect to the wire is often at the kick panel, at the windshield pillar, or in the running board. When an easy location is not available, running a wire to the domelight itself is often the best solution.

How to find a door pin switch trigger wire with your multimeter:
1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine). 2. In most cars, fasten the (+) probe of your meter to (+)12V constant. 3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the door trigger wire. If the meter reads (+)12V when any door is opened and the meter goes to 0 with the door closed, you have found a trigger wire. NOTE: Make sure the wire you use sees all the doors! Some newer vehicles lack standard-type pinswitches. The dome light in these vehicles is turned on when the door handle is lifted. These usually have a wire coming out of the door into the kick panel which will provide a (-) trigger for all doors.
Finding the starter wire How to find the (+)12V starter wire with your multimeter: 1. Set to DCV or DC voltage (12V or 20V is fine). 2. Attach the (-) probe of the meter to chassis ground. 3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. The steering column is an excellent place to find this wire. Remember you do not need to interrupt the starter at the same point you test it. Hiding your starter kill relay and connections is always recommended.
4. Turn the ignition key switch to the start position. Make sure the car is not in gear! If your meter reads (+)12V, go to the next step. If it doesnt, probe another wire. 5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire. 6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it and go back to step 3. If the starter does not turn over, you have the right wire.

MAKING YOUR CONNECTIONS

When connecting the security systems wires to the wires in the vehicle it is important that the connections are tight and no bare wire is exposed. Shown below are two types of connections that may be used to connect the wires from the security system into the vehicles wiring. Both types of connections are electrically acceptable if made correctly. Other types of tap-in connections, such as T-Taps are not acceptable. SOLDERLESS BUTT CONNECTIONS 1. Cut the wire and strip back about 1/4 of insulation on each end of the wire. SOLDER CONNECTIONS 1. Using your wire strippers and razor knife, strip about 1/2 of insulation off the wire to be connected to, without cutting the wire.

WIRE CONNECTION GUIDE

This guide describes in detail the connection of each wire. Also included are possible applications of each wire. This system was designed with the ultimate in flexibility and security in mind. Many of the wires have more than one possible function. Please read carefully to ensure a thorough understanding of this unit.
Primary Harness, 12-pin connector H1/1 ORANGE (-) ground-when-armed output: This wire supplies a (-) ground as long as the system is armed. This output ceases as soon as the system is disarmed. This wire controls operation of the pre-wired starter kill relay and can be used to control other optional accessories.
NOTE: If connecting the orange wire to control another module, such as a 529T or 530T window controller, a 1 amp diode (type 1N4004) will be required. Insert the diode as shown below.
IMPORTANT! Never interrupt any wire other than the starter wire.
H1/2 WHITE light flash output: As shipped, this wire should be connected to the (+) parking light wire. If the light flash polarity jumper inside the unit is moved to the opposite position (see Internal Jumpers, page 17), this wire supplies a (-) 200 mA output. This is suitable for driving (-)parking light wires.
H1/3 WHITE/BLUE (+) trunk release/sensor shunt input: This input is used to bypass sensor inputs when the trunk is opened using the factory transmitter. Connect this wire to the (+) trunk release output of the factory keyless entry system or trunk release relay. When the system receives a (+) input on this wire, zones 2 and 4 are bypassed for three seconds. If during that three seconds, ground is applied to the H1/6 BLUE wire zones 2 and 4 will remain bypassed until the ground input is removed. This means that when the trunk is opened with the factory transmitter the only triggers that remains active while the trunk is open are the doors. Three seconds after the trunk is closed the bypassed zones will become active again. H1/4 BLACK/WHITE 200 mA (-) domelight-supervision output: Connect this wire to the optional domelight supervision relay.

IMPORTANT! This output is only intended to drive a relay. It cannot be connected directly to the domelight circuit, as the output cannot support the current draw of one or more bulbs.
H1/5 GREEN (-) door trigger input: Most vehicles use negative door trigger circuits. Connect the GREEN wire to a wire which shows ground when any door is opened. In vehicles with factory delays on the domelight circuit, there is usually a wire that is unaffected by the delay circuitry.
H1/6 BLUE (-) instant trigger: This input will respond to a negative input with an instant trigger. It is ideal for hood and trunk pins and will report on zone one. H1/7 VIOLET (+) door trigger input: This wire is used in vehicles that have a positive (+) switched dome light circuit. Connect the VIOLET wire to a wire that shows (+)12V when any door is opened, and ground when the door is closed.
H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection: Connect this wire to bare metal, preferably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw. Screws tend to either strip or loosen with time. All components, including the siren should be grounded to the same point in the vehicle if possible.
FACTORY BOLT GROUND WIRE NOTE: REMOVE ANY PAINT BELOW RING CONNECTOR RING CONNECTOR
H1/9 YELLOW (+) ignition input: Connect this wire to the (+)12V ignition wire. This wire must show (+)12V with the key in Run position and during cranking. Take care to insure that this wire cannot be shorted to the vehicle chassis at any point.
H1/10 BROWN (+) siren output: Connect this to the RED wire of the siren. Connect the BLACK wire of the siren to (-) chassis ground, preferably at the same point you connect the control modules BLACK ground wire.
H1/11 RED (+)12V constant power input: Before connecting this wire, remove the supplied fuse. Connect to the battery positive terminal or the constant 12V supply to the ignition switch.
NOTE: Always use a fuse within 12 inches of the point you obtain (+)12V. Do not use the 15A fuse in the harness for this purpose. This fuse protects the module itself.
H1/12 RED/WHITE (-) 200mA auxiliary channel/delayed accessory output: If programmed for an auxiliary output, this wire will provide a (-) pulse when the lock button on the factory transmitter is pressed twice within three seconds. This output can be used to control optional accessories. If programmed for delayed accessory output, this wire will provide (-) ground when the ignition is turned off and will continue to output (-) ground until a door is opened then closed. This can be used to energize the accessory circuit in the vehicle to keep the radio and other accessories on after the ignition is turned off.
IMPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! This transistorized output can only supply (-) 200 mA, and connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause the module to fail.

5-PIN AUXILIARY PLUG

H3/1 BROWN (-)horn honk output: This wire supplies a 200 mA (-) output that can be used to honk the vehicles horn. It provides a pulsed output when the security system is in the triggered 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.
MPORTANT! Never use this wire to drive anything but a relay or a low-current input! This transistorized output can only supply (-) 200 mA, and connecting directly to a solenoid, motor, or other high-current device will cause the module to fail.
H2/2 GREEN arm input: Connect this wire to a wire that changes state when the doors are locked using the factory keyless entry transmitter. This wire can accept a positive (+) or negative (-) input. The vehicles power door lock motor wire is ideal. H2/3 RED disarm defeat input: This wire is used to prevent the interior door lock switches from disarming the system. To determine the best location to interface this wire, first test the operation of the remote keyless entry system. When unlocking the doors with the factory remote transmitter, does the drivers door unlock first? Most vehicles operate this way. If this is the case connect the RED wire to the passenger unlock motor wire. When testing this wire be sure that it shows 12V (+) when the unlock button on the factory transmitter is pressed twice. If the factory keyless entry system unlocks all of the doors at the same time, connect this wire to the unlock wire coming from the lock switch. H2/4 BLUE disarm input: Connect this wire to a wire that changes state when the doors are unlocked using the factory keyless entry transmitter. If the factory transmitter unlocks the drivers door first, the BLUE wire must be connected to the wire that changes state when the drivers door is unlocked by itself. In this case, find the drivers door unlock motor wire. In most vehicles this wire can be found in the drivers kick panel. H2/5 WHITE (-) 200mA passive lock output: This wire provides a (-) 200mA pulse when the system passively arms. If passive arming is not enabled this wire has no function. If the customer wants the system to automatically lock the doors when the system passively arms, connect this wire to the lock circuit in the vehicle. An optional relay may be required.

There are three main types of keyless entry systems. Systems that unlock the drivers door first and have internal relays, systems that unlock the drivers door first but have external relays, and systems without drivers priority door unlock.
Connecting door lock inputs in vehicles with drivers door unlock from factory remote:
Connecting door lock inputs in vehicles with drivers door unlock and external relays:
This system is used in many four-door GM sedans. To test for this type of system, probe the unlock wire from the interior switch (black or white). Unlock the drivers door, by itself, using the factory remote. If the switch wire shows (+) 12V, then use the following diagram:

Note: It is often easy to access the passenger unlock wire going to the rear door motor on the drivers side.
Connecting door lock inputs in vehicles without drivers priority door unlock:
This type of keyless entry system is common in import vehicles as well as many Jeep vehicles. When unlocking the doors with the transmitter all doors unlock at the same time. The following diagram shows how to install the system and prevent disarming from the interior lock switch.
Note: Failure to insert the diodes at the correct point will allow the system to be disarmed by one of the power door lock switches inside the vehicle. The best place to insert the diode is at the keyless entry module itself or at the relays.

DOOR LOCK LEARN ROUTINE

Before the unit will respond to the factory remote keyless system, it must learn the polarlity of the door lock wires. To learn the lock polarity: 1. Open the vehicles door.
2. Turn the ignition to the on position.
3. Press and hold the valet button for three seconds.

DRW-35

4. The LED will flash once to confirm the lock polarity was learned.

PLUG-IN HARNESSES

Super Bright LED, 2-pin white plug
The super bright LED operates at 2V DC. Make sure the LED wires are not shorted to ground as the LED will be damaged. The LED fits into a 9/32 inch mounting hole. Be sure to check for clearance prior to drilling the mounting hole.
Valet/program Switch, 2-pin blue plug
The valet/program switch should be accessible from the drivers seat. It plugs into the blue port on the side of the unit. Since the system features valet by remote, the switch can be well hidden. Consider what the switch will be used for before choosing a mounting location. Check for rear clearance before drilling a 9/32 inch hole and mounting the switch.The GRAY wire in the two-pin plug may also be used as a (+) ghost switch input and can be connected to any (+) switch in the vehicle (see Feature Descriptions, page 20). NOTE: Please note for the customer the location of the valet/program switch in the section provided in the Owners Guide.

ON-BOARD STINGER DOUBLEGUARD SHOCK SENSOR
There is a dual-stage shock sensor inside the control unit. Adjustments are made via the rotary control as indicated above. Since the shock sensor does not work well when mounted firmly to metal, we recommend against screwing down the control module. The full trigger of the onboard shock sensor reports zone 2. See Table of Zones page 21. 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 then relocating the module requires readjustment.
INTERNAL PROGRAMMING JUMPER
LIGHT FLASH JUMPER: This jumper is used to determine the light flash output. In the (+) position, the onboard relay is enabled and the unit will output (+)12V on the WHITE wire, H1/2. In the (-) position, the on-board relay is disabled. The WHITE wire, H1/2, will supply a 200 mA (-) output suitable for driving factory parking light relays. To access the jumper, remove the sliding door from on top of the control module.
SYSTEM FEATURES LEARN ROUTINE
The System Features Learn Routine dictates how the unit operates. It is possible to access and change any of the feature settings using the valet/program switch.
To enter the System Features Learn Routine:
1. Open a door: The GREEN wire, H1/5, or the VIOLET, H1/7 must be connected.
2. Turn the ignition on, then off: The YELLOW wire, H1/9 must be connected.
4. Select a feature: Press and release the valet/program button the number of times corresponding to the step you wish to change. For example, to access the third feature, press and release three times. Then press the button once more and HOLD it. The siren will chirp the number of times equal to the step you have accessed.
5. Program the feature: While holding the valet/program button, you can toggle the feature on and off using your factory remote transmitter. Pressing the button that locks the doors will select the one chirp or default setting. Pressing the button that unlocks the doors, will select the two chirp setting.
NOTE: The valet pulse count feature (8) has five possible settings. Pressing unlock will toggle through all the possible settings.
6. Release the valet/program button.

FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS

1 ACTIVE/PASSIVE ARMING: When active arming is selected, the system will only arm when the transmitter is used. When set to passive, the system will arm automatically 30 seconds after the last door is closed. To alert the consumer of passive arming, the siren will chirp and the parling lights will flash 30 seconds after the door is closed. 2 AUDIBLE ARM/DISARM CONFIRMATION ON/OFF: This feature controls the chirps that confirm the arming and disarming of the system. In the ON setting (default) the siren will provide audible confirmation when arming and disarming the system. If programmed to the OFF position no siren chirps will be heard when arming and disarming. 3 SIREN DURATION 30/60 SECONDS: In the default setting, the full triggered sequence will continue when triggered for 30 seconds. This can be changed to 60 seconds in the system features learn routine. 4 DOOR TRIGGER INSTANT/DELAYED: In the instant (default) setting, if a door is opened while the security system is armed the system will trigger immediately. In the delayed setting there is a 15 second delay before the doors will trigger the system. This gives the user 15 seconds to disarm the system after a door is opened without the factory transmitter. 5 DOOR TRIGGER ERROR CHIRP ON/OFF: With the door trigger error chirp programmed off, the system will not report an invalid zone on arming when the door trigger wire is active. This eliminates the extra chirps that occur when interfacing with vehicles that have exceptionally long dome light delay circuits. 6 SENSOR SHUNT ZONES 2 AND 4/ALL ZONES: In the default setting, all sensors with the exception of the door zone will be bypassed when a trigger is grounded three seconds after a (+) pulse on the white/blue (trunk is opened). If programmed to the all zones setting, all zones including the doors will be bypassed when the trunk is opened with the factory transmitter. 7 PANIC/AUXILIARY OUTPUT: In the default setting, pressing the lock button on the factory transmitter twice within three seconds will trigger panic mode. If programmed to the auxiliary output setting, pressing the lock button twice within three seconds will send a (-) pulse on the RED/WHITE auxiliary output wire. 8 NO FUNCTION 9 VALET PULSE COUNT 1-5 PULSES: The system can be programmed to count the number presses of the valet switch before disarming the security system. The factory default setting is one pulse. The unit can be set for 2-5 pulses using Button II to select the setting.

Ghost Switch option: For added security, the GRAY wire on the two-pin valet/program can be connected to any switch in the vehicle that provides a positive (+) momentary pulse.

RAPID RESUME LOGIC

This DEI 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, and valet mode.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Starter kill doesnt work: Is the correct starter wire being interrupted? If the car starts when the starter kill relay is completely disconnected, the wrong starter wire has been interrupted. YELLOW wire is not connected to true ignition. It is connected to an accessory circuit. Shock sensor doesnt trigger the alarm: Has Prevention Circuitry. NPC been triggered? If so, you will hear five chirps when disarming. To check this, turn the ignition key on and off to clear NPC memory, and then retest the shock sensor. For a detailed description, see Owners Guide. Door input does not immediately trigger full alarm. Instead, first I hear chirps for three seconds: Thats how the progressive two-stage door input works! This is a feature of this system. This is an instant trigger, remember, since even if the door is instantly closed, the progression from chirps to constant siren will continue. Closing the door triggers the system, but opening the door does not: Have you correctly identified the type of door switch system? This happens often when the wrong door input has been used.(refer to page 6) System will not passively arm until it is remotely armed and then disarmed: Are the door inputs connected? Is a BLUE wire connected to the door trigger wire in the vehicle? Either the GREEN H1/5 or the VIOLET H1/7 should be used instead. Door input does not respond with the progressive trigger, but with immediate full alarm: What zone does the LED indicate? If the LED indicates that the impact sensor caused the trigger, the sensor may be detecting the door opening. Reducing the sensitivity or relocating the control module can often solve this problem. The valet switch doesnt work. Is it plugged into the correct socket? Check the System Features Learn Routine for the programmed Valet pulse count. Status LED doesnt work. Make sure that it is plugged in. See page 16. Is the LED plugged into the correct socket?
