2016 KIA K7

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 11:53:26 +0000

Hello. I installed Evo-One on 2016 Kia K7 (on liquid gas...with start-stop).. I specified 2017 Kia Optima in the manager. The EMS wire was behind the passenger kick panel in the red connector on the bottom, second from the right. Behind the fuse, the ignition wire (ON) was pink...the ACC wire was white...the starter wire was yellow with a black stripe. The CAN wires were also located behind the fuses in a small connector... yellow and black... blue and orange. Everything worked well, but after opening the door, when I pressed the brake, the car stopped... When I pressed the start-stop button, the radio turned on, and the start-stop button also showed a yellow LED, but the car stopped when I pressed the brake.

I didn't use the ACC-2. It was blue, behind the fuses. The customer left satisfied, but I'm wondering what else can be added to prevent the car from stalling when the brake is applied?

If you could please send me the serial number of this Evo-One...I usually write down the numbers in a journal and now I forgot to write them down...

Old vehicles

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 01:03:56 +0000

I have an old automatic kia rio (2002) that has virtually zero security features, can i set up my Evo-one to just remote start, just connecting the main wires to the ignition cylinder harness i get crank but no start, i am assuming that its because of another feature that i havent hooked up, is there a version of firmware that only controls starter, ignition, ACC? Or am i just wrong in assuming possibly? Theirs no chipped key or any features in the car itself i can find that would prevent function.

EVO-ONE With RFK411 Kit will not enter remote pairing mode

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 04:31:05 +0000

Good Day,

I have managed to successfully install The EVO-ONE into my 2011 Kia soul. Standard Key, With immobilizer using the T-Harness.

The Key bypass has been successfully programmed and the vehicle starts/stops normally, however, when trying to initiate the remote key pairing for the RFK411 kit, I cannot get the antenna to initiate the sequence.

When turning the ignition on/off/on the antenna light does not become blue, and if I tap the brakes 4 x, there is no flashing light either to get the unit to go into pairing mode. Have tried re-setting the Evo-one and again, they key programs fine but I cannot initiate RF pairing mode.

Thank you,

Cheers,

Matt

Hello. I installed an Evo-Key on 2020 (2021) Kia Seltos (I had two of them). During programming, after opening the ignition, both modules showed both red and yellow lights. Then I pressed the programming button seven times... (The red light flashed six times). I opened the ignition, and everything was fine. Why does the manual say six times?

2018 KIA Niro PTS Hybrid OEM Alarm honks twice with remote start

Sat, 12 Apr 2025 17:25:30 +0000

2018 Kia Niro PTS Hyrbid installed a compustar remote start system with EVO-ALL, everything works fine but I get 2 horn honks during runtime as if the factory alarm kicked in. Is there a key sense wire that needs to be hooked up since Kia did the updates to all of their cars so they don't get stolen?

How do I program the EVO-ONE if my key start vehicle was converted to push to start?

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 13:30:40 +0000

I have a 2017 Kia Sedona (automatic transmission) that got broken into. The criminal trashed the ignition system. Rather than replace it, I converted it using the Ghost Key by JDI. The button works as follows: wave the key fob over the antenna, then push the start button once. This turns on the radio. Pushing the start button a second time turns on the gauges. A third press will turn everything off. To start the vehicle, wave the key fob over the antenna, put your foot on the brake, and press the start button. I have everything installed according to the install guide (here), but when I get to the programming section on page 5 (program 2 without EMS com wire) I get stuck on number 4. I've tried pushing the start button (single and double push) and starting the vehicle, but the light never flashes. I just stays solid blue or turns off completely. Should I use the program sequence for the push to start model or is there another way of programming the module?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Program RFK-411 Remote with Evo-One-KHY2 - 2016 Kia Optima

Sun, 05 Jan 2025 16:12:34 +0000

Hello,

I'm experiencing difficulties programming an RFK-411 remote with my EVO-One-KHY2 system installed in a 2016 Kia Optima (US model).

Here's what I've done so far:

Installation: I followed GUIDE #91351 to install the T-harness and EVO-One unit.
Firmware: The EVO-One has the latest firmware for my vehicle (updated via FlashLink).
Programming: Since my car is the US version without the (~)EMS COM cable, I used PROGRAM: 2 to program the EVO-One.
Remote Pairing: I followed GUIDE #68771 to connect the RFK-411 remote, but have been unsuccessful using both the ignition switch and valet switch methods.

The Problem:

The instructions state that the blue light on the RF antenna should flash with each brake press, but the blue light does not respond. This prevents me from completing Step 4 of the programming process.

Troubleshooting:

I've confirmed the red light next to the yellow wire on the EVO-One is off, indicating it's not in locked/armed mode.

It seems the EVO-One is not registering the brake presses, which is preventing the RFK-411 remote from being programmed.

2015 Kia Sorento Standard Key T-Harness Evo-One Step 4 Solid Amber Light

Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:02:42 +0000

Installing a Evo-One in a 2015 Kia Sorento with T-Harness and standard key. Completed wiring. Spliced yellow A1 into pink ignition wire in T-Harness. Cut white wire in T-Harness. I have flashed the Evo-One with the lastest firmware in both remote start connection and bypass mode. In FlashLink Manager for desktop Pro Mode, I set the mode to OEM Lock-Unlock-Lock on 38.4(?). I am using an OEM key. That is the only option I configured.

With the key out, I plug in the 6 wire harness while holding the programming button. Lights flash red->blue->red & blue->yellow and I release the button. Yellow is solid on, other lights are off. I plug in the remaining connectors. Insert the key into ignition, and turn to RUN position. The light stays solid yellow.

I have probed the C2 & C4 and have 2.4v for CAN-Low at the C connector. I have 2.6v at the C1 & C3 connector for CAN-High. I can not get to the blue flashing x10 times in the programming steps.

Car starts normally with key.

EVO-KEY 2011 Kia SOUL Remote Start Data-Link

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 13:15:32 +0000

I've recently purchased the OEM starter kit for a 2011 kia soul. However, this is a Canadian model and has a transponder key, so it will only crank and wont start unless a key is held near the ignition.

Will the EVO-KEY work as a bypass in conjunction with the OEM remote start kit? Is there a requirement for any sort of data link between the start module and the the EVO-KEY?

Thank you

Relay only needed for OEM fob remote start?

Fri, 08 Dec 2023 10:13:57 +0000

2020 Kia Forte, standard key. I saw on another site that you only have to hook up the relay if you want to remote start using the OEM remote. If we only plan to use a RF kit and their remotes, is it possible to bypass this part of the install?

Remote Programming RFK441 to Evo One

Sun, 03 Dec 2023 18:08:20 +0000

I installed Evo-One with THAR-ONE-KHY1 Harness on 2009 Kia Borrego. No immobilizer. Used FlashLink to update, configured the EVO One and all seemed to go well. I dont have any factory remotes so I bought the RFK441 remote kit and RF-A2A Harness. When I plug the anntannae wire into EVO one I get one LED flash on the anntanae end. Then nothing. Turn key on and anntanae LED does not light up, Hit brake pedal 4 times and no LED lights up on anntanae dongle. I have anntane wire plugged into the evo one (blue plug). Im not using the RF-A2A harness. Am I supposed to use the harness? None of the RFK441 remotes do anything when buttons pressed. It appears the unit wont go into programming mode to allow me to connect the remotes to the unit. Any ideas? Thanks,.

2009 Kia Borrego With Immobilizer DeActivated

Thu, 30 Nov 2023 10:45:59 +0000

Hello, I'm installing an EVO-One with THAR-ONE-KHY1 Harness on 2009 Kia Borrego. The vehicle is equipped with immobilizer and immobilizer RFID metal ignition key but the immobilizer function has been stripped from the ECU/ECM software so the vehicle starts with any metal (properly cut) key. When I install the EVO One can I ignore the PATS Data connection and use the "Program 2: Vehicle Without PATS Data Wire" programming instructions? Thanks

Tach sensor 2009 Kia Spectra

Thu, 26 Oct 2023 09:22:45 +0000

2009 Kia Spectra. THAR-ONE-KHY1. I need to know which wire to connect the tach signal to. Yes, in the Wire Colour diagram it does tell me which wire on the ECM, but no-where can I find which wire on the EVO-one it must be connected to. I have by-passed it currently using programmable option 20.2, but the start quality is pathetic; in cold temperatures it requires more crank time, causing excessive starter drag in warmer conditions. Adjust for warm temperatures and the crank is in-sufficient for the cold mornings. Advice for me?

Does EVO-ONE Support Kia's New Anti-Theft Update

Tue, 20 Jun 2023 03:26:52 +0000

Hey guys,

So Kia has released a new firmware update for their cars in order to deal with the rise in car thefts. The update is applied at the dealership. I've been thinking about getting the update, but I need to make sure my Evo-One will still remote start the engine after the changes are made.

I have a 2020 Kia Forte with a push-button fob. From what I've gathered, after the update, the BMS must receive the unlock command from the KeyFob in order for the engine to start. If the car isn't unlocked and I were to try to start it, it would end up panicing for 60 seconds.

I know the EVO-One already unlocks the doors over CanBus, but does it support the update Kia is applying to our cars? Will it still remote start the car after changes are made?

Stuck on step 5, all 3 lights flashing Kia Niro

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 13:33:48 +0000

I am using a t-harness for install. Verified continuity on all my electrical connections. Soldered connections. During programming, I turn ignition on and red lights blink 10x as expected. Then short pause and the three LEDs all blink instead of the blue blinking indicating I'm not getting canbus communication. The COM wire was present and I verified I have the connections on the correct side of the cut. I flashed it with the most recent version of firmware and the recovered firmware, same result either way. Double checked my settings and everything kind like I'd expect it to buy correctly somethings amiss. SN-002B04 310063 This morning the car battery was dead as well

Why won't my Evo-One move past step 4 on programming?

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 04:30:30 +0000

I have verified the correct firmware, proper voltage on yellow wire A1, and correct can-bus wiring.I have constant 12v with a good ground. When I turn the ignition to run the blue led that is supposed to flash 10x's turns off. I installed accordind to the install guide provided through fortin's website.I have followed the troubleshooting guide and get stuck after confirming all 5 steps

The first 3 steps in the programming are very straight forward. If you cannot pass these steps verify the following:
1- Firmware: Ensure you have flashed the correct firmware to the module as indicated in the installation guide.
2- Power & Ground: Verify the module is receiving a constant 12 volts and has a good ground.
3- Yellow Wire (A1): Verify this wire is on the correct ignition wire. Their should be 0 Volts present during the first 3 steps.

If the Blue led does not flash common issues would be the following:

1- Yellow wire (A1): Not connected to correct ignition source.
2- Can Bus Wires: If these are reversed or connected to the wrong can bus wires the module will not program.
