Directed Electronics 417 Automobile Alarm User Manual

NOTE: Factory content theft deterrent (CTD) systems in Bonnevilles, Auroras and LeSabres do not
monitor the trunk key cylinder wire; therefore, the trunk key cylinder sensor bypass feature is not
available on these vehicles. The alarm will trigger if the factory trunk release feature on the OEM
transmitter is not used when accessing the trunk while the databus interface module is armed. In
Level I security mode, the H1/6 BLUE wire must be hard-wired to the vehicle’s trunk pin wire.
VEHICLES WITHOUT CONTENT THEFT DETERRENT (CTD) AND CTD SYSTEMS THAT DO NOT MONITOR THE FACTORY
TRUNK PIN
Level I security mode is not recommended for vehicles without CTD. The databus of vehicles without CTD may not
monitor the key cylinders. Additionally, most vehicles without CTD do not have trunk pins, which would require
adding a trunk pin or hard-wiring the trunk to the databus interface module. Also, when Level I Security Mode
is used in vehicles such as Bonnevilles, Auroras and Lesabres, which have CTD systems that do not monitor the
factory trunk pin, the H1/6 BLUE wire must be hard-wired to the vehicle’s factory trunk pin wire.
Level II security can be selected by moving the Level I Security Mode/Level II Security Mode jumper (see the
Internal Programming Jumpers section of this guide) to the proper position. Level II security is a high security
setting in which the door key and trunk cylinders are not monitored by the databus interface module. The only
means of disarming the databus interface module is through the OEM transmitter or coded Valet switch. (Refer
to the Disarming Without a Transmitter section in the owner’s guide for detailed instructions.) Level II security
protects the vehicle from unauthorized coded keys being used to open the vehicle’s doors or trunk. This security
mode also protects the vehicle in cases where one of the key cylinders has been forced and turned to unlock the
vehicle.
VEHICLES WITHOUT CONTENT THEFT DETERRENT (CTD)
Level II security mode is recommended for vehicles without CTD, which do not monitor key cylinders and often
require adding trunk pins or hard-wiring the trunk to the databus interface module.
CTD SYSTEMS THAT DO NOT MONITOR THE FACTORY TRUNK PIN
When Level II Security Mode is selected for Bonnevilles, Auroras or LeSabres, no additional wiring to the vehicle’s
factory trunk pin is required.
