Directed Releases Viper DS4 – Designed for Newer Vehicles Directed & Releases New T-Harnesses for DS4 Family of Products

 

VISTA, Calif. (March 5, 2018) – Today, Directed has begun shipping the latest addition to its award-winning DS4™ product line. The new Viper DS4 features all the great benefits of the DS4+ platform, just without high-current relays. This version of DS4 is a perfect complement to newer vehicles, which tend to feature push-to-start or lower-current ignition systems. The DS4 allows a shop to save expense on those installations where extra relays just aren’t needed.

The new DS4 system, like the DS4+, features Bluetooth connectivity (which means smartphone control is included) as well as the ability to be configured as either a remote start system or remote start with security system.

Dealers will find the DS4 easy to integrate into their offerings. All of the data, input/output, auxiliary relay, and D2D connections have been designed to be exactly the same as the DS4+. This design serves to make the DS4 compatible with DS4+ accessories and most of Directed’s expanding T-Harness line-up.

“Installers now have a customized option for new vehicles which don’t require high-current relays,” explained James Turner, SVP, Core Product Management at Directed. “Part of the beauty of the DS4 is that, just like its big-brother the DS4+, it features simplified install and free Driveway Range Bluetooth smartphone control. Directed is excited to provide dealers with this additional option of our Innovations Award Winning technology.”
