SuiteSuccess Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 We recently bought a slightly used 2017 DRV Mobile Suites. It has a Onan 3.5 kw generator and some other goodies. While looking it over I discovered a Directed Electronics “SmartStart” system which on researching is an alarm, gps locator, and remote car start. Anyone familiar with this system? And remote start for generator maybe? (In case pets in trailer?) This module is in a back doorside compartment and says “shock sensor”. What is it for?

chooseopen Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Sounds like an automobile alarm system adapted to protect the generator from theft. The shock sensor detects vibration and will trigger the audible alarm... Since it has remote start, perhaps they also rigged it up to start the generator, but it would probably only work with 100ft or so... Just like a remote start for your car... 2007 Volvo VNL670, Singled, Air ride hitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuiteSuccess Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Thanks Duffman. This is a FAQ from Amazon. I don’t need GPS tracking and not going to spend $$ per year for their “service plan”. Wonder if the alarm portion would still work without the GPS locator? Would seem to be a separate unit. Won’t have remote gen start but I don’t need it anyway. Will make some calls today to the companies. Dose the dsm350 have to be used with a gps service plan? Answer: Unsure what your asking but it’s a yearly subscription or three year subscription By cissy on March 22, 2018 It does require a service plan. I bought this in 2016 and activated it until the fall of 2017. Then left it off until April 2018. I've since gotten an email stating that they are going to PERMANENTLY disable my module if I don't pay to reactivate it for another 1-year or 3-year plan. They stated that I won't be able to re-activate it after this month. I am very upset that they are threatening to remotely destroy hardware I bought. I will never buy another Directed product again. see less By Shannon Johnson on April 23, 2018 The DSM350 does require a GPS/Remote Start service plan. If you don't want the GPS portion you can purchase the DSM300 which only requires the less expensive Remote Start plan. Be aware that you'll have to find an Authorized Dealer to activate this for you. 2006 Volvo 780 "Hoss" Volvo D12, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Bed Build by "JW Morgan's Custom Welding" 2017 DRV 39DBRS3 2013 Smart Passion Coupe "Itty Bitty" "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living.
