Hi I installed a evo one in my 2021 Mazda CX5 and now want to install the RFK442 fobs. Will that require me to reconfigure the evo one?

Hello,

Nope it will not.

Simply plug the antenna into the small blue port on the side of the evo-one then follow the in vehicle programming for the remotes (page 2): https://fortin.ca/download/68451/EVO-ONE_QG_4BOUTONS_EN_E_68451.pdf

Best regards

Hey Derek, just got around to trying to install the 442 kit and when I plug into the antenna I see it received power when the blue light shines on briefly. However when I turn the ignition on only and try to hold the button on the antenna nothing happens. It is plugged into the smaller blue 4 pin port on the evo one.

Unlock the vehicle with the oem remote, then turn ignition on followed by pressing and holding the button on the side of the antenna.

If its armed it wont let you into remote pairing, pressing unlock on the OEM remote will dis arm it.

Best regards

Hey Derek, just tried what you suggested and still nothing. Plugged into evo one, car unlocked and ignition on. Held down button on antenna and nothing. When I first tried a couple of days ago the blue light did flash but now it does not flash, only time LED light comes on antenna is when plugging the wire into the antenna when it comes on for a brief second then disappears.

Perhaps try the alternate method:

- ignition on-off-on

- brake pedal 4x

- antenna should start flashing

- aux followed by lock

Thank you sir! That worked to pair the remote. I seem to be running into issue after issue with this thing. When the antenna is connected and I try the remote started from either the OEM remote or the RFK442 remote it tries to start but never does. The ignition turns on but the engine never cranks. It does this twice then turns off and locks.

Any suggestions?

I would unplug the antenna and retest using only the OEM remote and let us know if the vehicle remote starts that way
