DIY for a remote start with the OEM remote by hitting lock 3x to start your car
This does bypass the clutch, if your car is in gear - you will start driving with you in or out of it.
Do not install this if you, or someone else leaves your car in gear.
At this time this is for Kessey cars only. This includes all MK6 application (golf, gti, gli etc.)
These instructions are for cars with a clutch. If you have an automatic, look for the *in the post as those will be what applies to you.
Parts List:
Directed/Nexgen DB-ALL
Programmed with software 401.VW02 3.25 - configured in RSR mode - not standard mode. (if you're buying this online most people will ask if you want it programmed, just give them that software number.)
One Valet programming button
2 - 1 amp Diodes (radio shack has these)
Valet Key
Tools:
Cutters
Strippers (the metal ones
)
Tape
Torx bit (t15)
Plastic panel popper

Here are all the parts you need for this install
Program the Dball - or have it programmed when you order it for RSR configuration

Cut the tip off of your valet switch
![Image]()
like so

Plug in the valet switch, the red connector, and blue connector

Cut out the wires you don't need (I was testing something on this install so ignore the excess wires)
Here's the wires you need:
Red plug:
Green with Black
*automatic cars need Gray wire
Blue plug:
Brown
Red
Black
Yellow
Orange with Green
Orange with Brown
*The Brown and Yellow wire are not needed for automatic transmissions
I'm going to give you two options here:
Unsafer - Connect the brown wire from the blue plug, directly to the black wire on the dball
Safer - Connect the brown wire from the blue plug to the wire found at the e-brake (sorry don't have a picture) - This will make it so when you pull up the e-brake it sends a ground pulse into the brown wire, which (when activated) the dball then sends that ground pulse to the clutch to bypass it.

Tape off excess wires and twist together if desired
![Image]()
Notice the directions of the diodes on the very first picture of this post. You need to have the white stripes facing the green/black wire. If you're looking at the orientation of the diodes in the first picture the green/black wire would be connector to the RIGHT side of those diodes, and the left sides would be your output. Use extra wire that you cut off from the dball and connect it to the opposite side of the diode like so.
![Image]()
Take one of the sides of the wire from the cut valet switch and wrap it around your valet key like so.
![Image]()
Tape it up so it's secure. Make sure you have a nice even wrap around the key.

Start removing the steering cover. Use a PLASTIC (metal will scratch the **** out of this) panel popper, and push in where the two panels meet together
![Image]()
Once popped, it will expose the torx bit. There is one on each side
![Image]()
There is one torx bit under the column
![Image]()
unclip the two harnesses and Remove the lower panel
![Image]()
Remove the PTS assembly. You can use your plastic panel popper and wedge on the outside of the panel between the PTS button and panel. It will pop off around the edges.
![Image]()
Remove the immobilizer ring from the PTS
![Image]()
Wrap 3 loops from the other side of the cut valet switch wire. Tape it up.
![Image]()
Put back the PTS and run the wires from the immbolizer like so. Note: at this time you can connect the other side of the valet switch that you cut to make a completed wire.
![Image]()
Connect the two wires opposite the diode to the ignition. You will connect these wires to the purple/black and purple/yellow.
![Image]()
Next remove the brown plug from the BCM located above the OBD2 port on the drive side
![Image]()
Sorry for the ****ty picture, but honestly you don't need it.
Look for the only pair of twisted wires in this harness. They are your CAN wires. Connect as follow:
Orange with Green connect to orange/green wire
Orange with Brown connect to orange/brown wire
Can't get much easier than that.
Connect the Yellow wire from the Dball to the Violet and White wire. That's your clutch wire.
*Connect to Gray wire to the black/red wire - For automatic cars only!
![Image]()
Next remove the OBD2 panel to access wires behind it
![Image]()
![Image]()
Connect the red wire from the dball to Pin 16 (should be red/white)
Connect the black wire from the dball to pin 4 (should be brown)
Pins are view from the FRONT , not the BACK.
After all this is done lets start programming this bad boy...
Plug in all the harnesses to the dball
(key must be in car)
Push unlock on the OEM remote
Cycle the ignition (do not start car)
Wait 4 seconds (if dball flashes green then goes out, stop and don't go to next step)
Turn car off
Cycle ignition again - dball should flash green then go out.
You're done!
Close all doors, make sure car is not in gear, press lock 3 times and your car shall start. Put all panels back together and enjoy.
Side notes:
Your doors will not unlock with OEM remote while the car is running, unless you use a VAG to program the remote to work while car is running.
You can program heated seats to work at last on point with VAG as well.
If you want to add a kill switch (service switch) plug the black connector into the dball. Cut all wires except white/black. Hook one side of the switch up to that wire, then the other side up to the black wire on the blue plug. When turned on the dball will not work.
The car should not start while the hood is opened - test this to make sure. That way a mechanic doesn't kill themselves.
Roll down your window, remote start the car with all the doors lock, reach in the car with your hand and open the door after the car has started. It should shut off after you open it like that. This is to prevent it from being stolen.
If you come across this error - follow these steps
If the car will not start after hitting lock three times, and the dball flashes 7 red lights, it needs further programing. Do these steps:
-Turn the car on, then off
-Press and hold the button on the Dball
-Release that button once the light turns orange
-It will now flash green, then with flash red.
-You want One green flash - and 3 Red flashes. If you don't have 3 red flashes hit the lock button on your remote to cycle through the different programing.
-Once you have 3 red flashes, press and hold the button on the dball till the orange light turns on
Release programing button - and try again.
Again, please be safe. Don't do this if you believe there is even a .0000001% chance of being in gear.
Post questions you might have, or if you need help.
Enjoy!
