Elite Series

AstroStart RF system transmitters use Spread Spectrum Technology (SST) and Advance Encryption Standard (AES) to offer ultimate security and immunity against signal jamming and interception. The result is a rock solid range of up to one mile range.* SST uses digital frequency hopping and multiple frequency transmission to insure that if a frequency is blocked, the signal still goes through. SST also uses dual error correcting systems to combat signal data corruption and minimize signal interference.

If you already have a compatible AstroStart remote start system in your car, the DSMU200 and DSMU250 will add SmartStart capability to your system.

Now you can remote start or lock and unlock your car just by pushing a button on your Smartphone using the exciting new AstroStart SmartStart app from Directed.

The simple graphical user interface gives you control over the following features of your installed AstroStart remote start or remote start and security system: Lock/arm, Unlock/disarm, Remote Start, Trunk release, Panic or car finder. You can also control multiple vehicles – great for families! – and assign more than one user to control a vehicle. It's easy with SmartStart!

HDR is an acronym for "High Data Rate" and is accurately descriptive of its function. Unlike most RF protocols, radio frequencies are broadcast at a relatively slow speed which means that the time it takes for a command to reach the vehicle, it can be corrupted and therefore not be understood by the receiver. HDR bit transfer rate is 5 times faster than conventional RF technology and thus eliminates data transfer corruption and as a result produces far better operating range than conventional RF technology.

HDX technology software is made to give the fastest confirmation of two-way systems by virtually operating in full duplex mode. Its great advantages are the user friendliness of the transmitter's operation, fast response time and the maximization of the transmitter's effective range.

Inside, the AstroStart Elite transceiver is powered by a 4 MHz microprocessor running HDR and HDX technology for better immunity against RF interference and advanced function control providing up to 3,500 feet of range.* The tactile and aesthetic qualities of these new remotes are remarkable – cool, smooth and slim.

ED2D™ stands for Enhanced Data-To-Data communication and is a breakthrough in OEM Integration technology. Unlike conventional unidirectional and bi-directional data communication protocols, ED2D™ provides not only full duplex communication but also provides more data words for even broader compatibility and OEM feature control. ED2D™ is the culmination of thousands of hours or research and development and the result is staggering. Our engineers have poured everything we know about vehicle interface technology into developing the most comprehensive data-to-data communication protocol ever designed.

FM is a transmission medium well known for its better immunity to noise and interference than the AM transmission. FM provides a more stable communication of digital signals, therefore allowing better range, even in the worst environment. This is why the AstroStart engineering team has developed a line of two-way systems that strictly use FM signals and extended the line of unidirectional models to include FM technology as well.
