Firmware: TL8 Remote Start Ready (RSR) Installation
Rev.: 20170824
Update Alert: Firmware updates are posted on the web on a regular basis. We recommend
that you check for firmware and/or install guide updates prior to installing this product.
Installation Guide
The TL8 firmware for DBALL2 is an all-in-one door lock and override module compatible with specific
Lexus and Toyota vehicles. This guide supports the installation of a DBALL2 in Remote Start Ready
(RSR) mode. This solution offers three (3) configuration options to control your system: 3x OEM Lock
Remote Start Activation, RF System or SmartStart (all sold separately).
This module can only be flashed and configured using XpressVIP at www.directechs.com or using the Directechs
Mobile application for smartphones. Refer to the Module Programming section for more information.
Remote Start Ready (RSR) is a function that enables the interface module to remote start the vehicle
completely on its own. Consequently, there is no need for an aftermarket or an OEM remote starter in order to
start the vehicle from a distance.
IMPORTANT:
- No takeover feature is available. The vehicle will shut down as soon as a door is opened.
- To remote start the engine, the hood, hatch, and all doors must be closed.

Start Ready (RSR) mode without the use of a remote starter. See the Module Programming section for more
information.

Important OEM Remote Starter Information
Ÿ
If the vehicle is equipped with a physical add-on Lexus/Toyota OEM Remote Starter:
The factory remote starter must be permanently disconnected before programming the Directed interface as both
modules cannot coexist. See locating the OEM Remote Start on the next page.
Ÿ
If the vehicle is equipped with a BCM enabled Lexus/Toyota OEM Remote Starter:
The vehicle does not have a physical remote starter and only one module can be programed at a time. In this case
temporally disable the OEM remote start system using the following process:
1.
Remove the fuse powering the OEM Remote Starter.
See locating the fuse powering the OEM Remote Starter on the next page.
2.
Perform a module reset, see « Module Reset » section.
3.
Perform the Module Programming steps, see « Module Programming » section.
After programming is successful replace the fuse powering the OEM Remote Starter.

SmartStart Installation
The DBALL2 module must be disconnected from any power source before SmartStart can
be connected to it. Failing to do so could damage DBALL2.
a. To ensure that the D2D communication between SmartStart and DBALL2 works properly,
the Gray wire must be connected to a ground source (Rev B SmartStart), and the Brown or
Blue loop must be cut (Rev A SmartStart).
b. Do NOT connect the 2-pin harness (on SmartStart). Power and ground will be provided by
the DBALL2 D2D connector.
Connect SmartStart to DBALL2 using the D2D port.

Smart OEM Alarm Control will synchronize with the OEM alarm so that it will disarm and rearm the vehicle
in the remote start sequence, only when required. The reason for this is, factory alarm control must often
be done by lock or unlock operation. This could create unnecessary actions on door lock modules, such
as the horn to honk. When possible, Smart OEM Alarm Control will monitor the alarm and door lock status
to detect if the disarm or rearm is required. If the vehicle is unlocked or is not equipped with factory alarm,
the disarm/rearm will not be executed. Smart OEM Alarm Control will also monitor the remote starter
actions so that the factory alarm control is not done twice. A remote starter, for which the Safelock feature
is active, will work perfectly with this option and will make it invisible to the user.

Description
Module is connected to a remote starter using a standard installation.
Module is connected to an XL202 using an RSR or RXT installation (when available).
Module is connected to SmartStart using an RSR or RXT installation (when available).
Unlocks only the driver door when the button is first pressed, and unlocks all doors when it is pressed a
second time within 5 seconds.
Unlocks all doors when the button is first pressed.
The OEM alarm will not be controlled by DBALL upon remote start. No disarm or arm command will be
executed at the beginning or end of the sequence; it must be controlled by the Remote Starter.
Smart OEM Alarm Control will behave like a standard Safelock feature on a remote starter. It will unlock at
the beginning of the sequence, and relock after start and shutdown.
Feature Programming
Programming
Button
To enter feature programming routine
- Turn the ignition ON, then OFF.
- Within 5 seconds, press and HOLD the programming button until the LED turns ON orange (after 3 seconds). Release the
Programming button.
- The LED will flash green once slowly to indicate the feature number is 1. After a short delay, the LED flashes red rapidly to indicate
the current option of feature 1 (i.e. 1x green followed by 1x red indicates feature 1 is set to option 1). The flashing sequence will
repeat until a new command is entered.
Changing feature options
- Press the lock/arm or unlock/disarm button on aftermarket transmitter to change the option of the selected feature. When installing the
DBALL in RSR using 3x OEM Lock Remote Start Activation only, there is no aftermarket transmitter on which to press lock/unlock to
change the options of the selected feature. Tapping the green or blue lock/unlock wires on the black 10-pin harness to ground will
change the option for the selected feature.
- The LED flashes red rapidly the number of times equal to the current option number. After a short delay, the LED flashes green slowly
the number of times to indicate the current feature. The flashing sequence will repeat until a new command is entered.
Accessing another feature
- Press and release the programming button a number of times to advance from the current feature to the next desired feature.
- The LED flashes green slowly the number of times equal to the feature number. After a short delay, the LED flashes red rapidly to
indicate the current option of the current feature. The flashing sequence will repeat until a new command is entered.
When the maximum number of features or options is reached, the LED will start flashing again from the first feature or option.
Once a feature is programmed
- Other features can be programmed.
- The feature programming can be exited.
Exiting feature programming
- No activity for 30 seconds; after 30 seconds, the LED will turn ON orange for 2 seconds to confirm the end of the programming
sequence.
OR
- Press and HOLD the programming button for 3 seconds. After 3 seconds, the LED will turn ON orange for 2 seconds to confirm the
end of the programming sequence.

DBALL2-TL8 Remote Start Ready (RSR) Installation
Vehicle Takeover
Remote Start Ready (RSR)
Remote Start Ready (RSR) is a function that enables the interface
module to remote start the vehicle completely on its own.
Consequently, there is no need for an aftermarket or an OEM remote
starter in order to start the vehicle from a distance.
Note: There is no vehicle takeover in this firmware. The vehicle will
shut down as soon as a door is opened.
Pit Stop Mode
The Pit Stop Mode feature is practical when you need to stop and run an errand,
but wish to keep the engine running.
