Remote start systems have evolved far beyond simple engine start buttons. With the DS4 and DS4P platforms by DIRECTED, drivers can personalize their vehicle control and security to match their lifestyle—while dealers gain opportunities to offer high-value upgrades that customers love.
Whether you want convenience, advanced security, or both, the DS4/DS4P systems make it easy to create a setup that fits your needs.
Step 1: Choose Your System
The foundation is choosing the right DS platform for your vehicle:
DS3 – Remote start system
DS3P – Remote start with high current relays for heavy-duty vehicles
DS4 – Remote start with Bluetooth for smartphone control
DS4P – Bluetooth plus high current relays for maximum flexibility
Whether you prioritize basic functionality or advanced Bluetooth control, there’s a system for every driver and vehicle type.
Step 2: Select Your Control Method
Once your system is installed, pick how you want to interact with your car:
2-Way Remote: The VIPER D9957V 5-button RF kit gives real-time confirmation of your commands
2-Way LCD Remote: The Prestige DRFLCD allows you to lock, unlock, and start your car while monitoring system status
These options provide convenience at your fingertips, whether you prefer a traditional remote or full LCD feedback.
Step 3: Add Protection to Keep Your Vehicle Safe
Customization doesn’t stop at remote start. DIRECTED offers modular security upgrades compatible with DS systems:
Level 1 – 8504D: Digital shock, tilt, and temperature sensor with car horn honk; compatible with DS3/P and DS4/P
Level 2 – DS4SU: Adds a six-tone siren and advanced shock/tilt/temp detection; compatible with DS3/P and DS4/P
Level 3 – DS4WS: Wireless security and siren upgrade; compatible with DS4/P only
By combining these modules, you can build a security package that matches your vehicle, environment, and peace-of-mind needs.
Why Customization Matters
For drivers: Tailoring your DS4/DS4P system means more than convenience—it’s about confidence, control, and security every time you get in your vehicle.
For dealers: Customizable platforms create upsell opportunities, increase perceived value, and provide customers with solutions that feel personal rather than one-size-fits-all.

The DS4 and DS4P systems aren’t just remote starters—they’re a foundation for a smarter, safer, and more convenient driving experience. By choosing your system, selecting the control method, and adding protection modules, you can create a setup that’s uniquely yours.
