About the Directed XpressStart 5X10

Buck Pomerantz

Remote start your engine and set the alarm with your car's remote

Directed's XpressStart 5X10 Series module lets you start your vehicle remotely by pressing the lock button on the key three times. The 5X10 incorporates a digital interface that communicates directly with your vehicle's computer to bypass the normal security safeguards, so you can take control from a distance. You can pre-warm your car in the winter and pre-cool it in summer so it'll be just right when you get in. Once you install this module, you'll be able to start your car and arm/disarm the security system from as far away as your key will lock and unlock your doors.

Remote start your engine and set the alarm with your car's remote

Directed's XpressStart 5X10 Series module lets you start your vehicle remotely by pressing the lock button on the key three times. The 5X10 incorporates a digital interface that communicates directly with your vehicle's computer to bypass the normal security safeguards, so you can take control from a distance. You can pre-warm your car in the winter and pre-cool it in summer so it'll be just right when you get in. Once you install this module, you'll be able to start your car and arm/disarm the security system from as far away as your key will lock and unlock your doors.

Important Note: Because of safety concerns, we strongly recommend professional installation for remote start systems in vehicles with manual transmissions.

Security features include Starter Kill to prevent hot-wiring, a loud 6-tone siren that'll catch everyone's attention, a dual-shock sensor that warns first and then sets off the alarm, and a LED indicator that tells strangers there's a security system aboard. The valet switch lets someone park your car without setting off your system.

Increase the range with an optional remote system

If you need to start your car from a greater distance, Directed offers four extended-range options:

  • Viper 9656V RF Kit: 5-button 1-way remote with 1/2-mile range
  • Viper 9211V RF Kit: 1-button 2-way remote with 1/2-mile range
  • Viper 9856V RF Kit: 5-button 2-way LED remote with 1-mile range
  • Viper 9756V RF Kit: 5-button 2-way LCD remote with 1-mile range

Each kit comes with a spare 1-way remote, a control center module, and harness. In most cases you'll be able to add features like Silent Lock/Unlock, Car Finder, and Timer Start, as well as the ability to pop open the trunk or run the defogger remotely (relay may be required). The 5-button remotes have four auxiliary channels, so you can control other available functions like rear interior lighting and sliding doors in some vehicles.

Even farther with a SmartStart smartphone interface

The 5X10 works with all SmartStart modules, allowing you to start your car through your smartphone when you're in range, or to use the SmartStart service plan to remote start from any place in the world where you have cell phone service.

IMPORTANT:
If you know how to use a multimeter and have experience working with your vehicle's electrical system, you should be able to install this remote start system yourself. If not, please consider having your system professionally installed.


To ensure vehicle compatibility, please enter your vehicle information in OutfitMyCar. Your order will be reviewed by our Car Experts group, who will contact you if further information or recommended accessories are needed.

Crutchfield carries Vehicle Installation Harnesses for a wide variety of vehicles, which will allow for a much faster installation of this Directed XpressStart system.

Features

Overview: This XpressStart 5x10 Digital Remote Start/Security System from Directed Electronics is an all-in-one system that covers over 95% of vehicles on the road today. Numerous T-harnesses that integrate into your vehicle's factory wiring are available to make installation much easier and quicker. In addition to your factory remote, the 5x10 can be controlled by optional long-range remotes, and SmartStart for your smartphone.

Note: Professional installation by an authorized installer is required.

Security Accessories: The 5x10 includes the same remote start features as the 4x10. In addition, the 5x10 comes with a siren and shock sensor. The 514LN Soft-Chirp Siren will provide security alerts, as well as arm/disarm and door lock/unlock confirmation chirps. The Stinger DoubleGuard shock sensor will respond to light impacts to the vehicle or glass with a pre-warning chirp, and to a harder impact with a full alarm blast.

Programming: The 5x10 is a digital system and requires an internet connection to configure the module. The online configuration wizard allows you to select the remote control you desire, set and change features, enable and disable functions, change display icons, and set up the auxiliary channel.

Optional T-harnesses: The XpressStart 5x10 remote start module has multiple ports for optional T-harnesses that will integrate the system into your factory wiring. These optional harnesses are available for the following vehicle makes:

  • THCHC1: Chrysler, Dodge/Ram, Jeep, Volkswagen
  • THCHC2: Chrysler, Dodge/Ram, Jeep, Mitsubishi
  • THCHC3: Chrysler, Dodge/Ram, Jeep
  • THTLC12: Lexus, Toyota
  • THFC1: Ford
  • THGM610C: Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Hummer, Saturn
  • THNISS3C: Nissan, Infiniti
Note: To see which harness is compatible for your specific vehicle, please identify your vehicle in the Crutchfield Car Selector.

Optional Remote System: Optional RF remote systems can be added to the 5x10 to give you an extended range:

RF Kit Remote Range Type of Remote
Model 9211V 1/2 mile One 2-way 2-button LED remote + one 1-way 1 button remote
Model 9656V 1/2 mile Two 1-way 5-button remotes
Model 9756V 1 mile One 2-way 5-button LCD remote + one 1-way 5-button remote
Model 9856V 1 mile One 2-way 5-button LED remote + one 1-way 5-button remote

Optional SmartStart: With the optional VSM200 SmartStart module, or the VSM250 SmartStart module with GPS, you can start your vehicle with a smartphone or tablet. Both SmartStart models are compatible with Apple iOS devices (with iOS 4.3 or later) and Android (with SDK 1.6 or newer). Blackberry devices (with OS 4.6 to 6) are compatible with SmartStart, but not SmartStart with GPS.

Q
Does Viper 5X10 need an antenna installed in order to use 9756V for a 1 mile range? I had a 5706v on my last car and want to use the remotes that were in the box to use for the 5X10V system.
