Directed Issues Recall on Some Remote Starters

Directed  announced a voluntary recall on some remote starters for vehicles with push to start ignition systems.

The recall applies to software for remote starters and interfaces that have been installed in cars from 2008-2015 with push to start technology.  In some installation configurations, the engine may unintentionally shut down.

Those cars using a traditional key ignition system are not affected.

Directed said the glitch is a software issue that requires a firmware update in select AutoStart and DBALL interfaces.  No product need be returned. The software has been corrected on products sold after July 15, 2014.


To date, no injuries or accidents have been reported to Directed as a result of this issue, and the recall is “out of an abundance of caution,” said Directed.


The problem was discovered during “advanced in field testing.”  It may affect up to 8,000 vehicles.

Consumers with an Autostart Remote Start System or DBALL interface that have been installed with Viper, Clifford, Python, AutoMate, AstroStart, Avital and Autostart products  and installed on Push to Start vehicles, model years between 2008 and 2015,should visit www.directed.com/recall or call Directed customer service at 1-888-770-7122 to learn if their system is affected.  If so, they should contact the retailer that installed their system for a free service update.

Viper SmartKey

Viper has been named an International CES Innovations 2014 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree for its Viper SmartKey.

Viper has taken the company's award-winning Passive Keyless Entry idea and realized the next evolution with the SmartKey. Now a driver can automatically lock and unlock car doors simply by carrying their compatible smartphone. No fobs are required.

"Our engineers have worked hard to raise the bar and continue to devise ways that enhance the user experience," said John Durbin, Director of Project Management for SmartStart. "Our Viper SmartStart Bluetooth interface was already a popular way to lock or unlock or even remote start the vehicle at short range. Now it also controls the door locks for them automatically. The user doesn’t even have to have the phone in their hand for SmartKey to work.”


SmartKey detects the approaching owner and automatically unlocks the doors when they’re in range. It locks them again when they walk away from the vehicle. The owner can set the range as desired and access other SmartKey features by using the Viper SmartStart v3.2 app, scheduled for release at the same time as SmartKey products.
