Hello Guys,

I have had my truck for 6months and now that its getting cold i want to install a command start.

I have done a few command starts over the years but im a little rusty!

The truck came with an old AstroFlex starter that was acting up and the previous owner never had the system looked at, so i will be replacing it with a Directed Electronis Smart Start brain.

The model i picked up is a ASSC4000. It looks like a basic brain with a Smart Start module that you connect externally.

The issue i have is how do i activate this system? and can i program this system to work on a diesel without having purchased the remotes for the unit since they were extra?

Thanks

Well I had to pick up an extra remote and programed it. The system is now working with the remote.

Alrite, I spent some time on this issue and figured it out.

I believe in the US you can use DEI1 and DEI1 on the dealer login area.

but of the canadian i used this document and it worked great!

I am now activated and i was able to track down this document with google search!

Neither the manufacture or dealer were able to help me without charging me money.

Hey camaro-ss

You mentioned that you got a remote to work with the smartstart assc4000 brain. Which remote did you use? I thought the module doesn't come with a remote and you can only use it from a phone.
