looks like its one or the other. The xl202 is the add on antenna kit but it plugs into the same port (d2d) as the smart start. Everything in the RSR manual says "or", like smart start "or" xl202.

"You can connect to either
a XL202 RFTD OR a
SmartStart module.
Refer to the
SmartStart/XL202
Installation Notes for
more information"

33 years as a installer now just a retired old guy. Favorite thing to install/topic are remote starts/car alarms. Stop using test lights!!!
