Sent start request thru App - Said it started, it did not... almost killed battery

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 19:58:50 +0000

The app has worked both hot and cold for the last 6 months no issues.

I replaced my 12v battery as it had been 5 years on Friday. I drove good distances afterwards, and I also remote started more than once since then.

This morning I remote started thru app, it said vehicle started, but it never showed the headlights etc come on. I've been using the app to monitor voltage (because I knew my 12v was weak this winter before I replaced it) - So I noticed I started at 12.6. After issuing remote start I dropped quickly to 12.2, then got the alert in the app of 11.7. By the time I got to the car it was 11.1. The car was NOT running, just ignition was on.

I hit the brake. Then pressed the brake and started manually and everything is working normally now.

Any ideas on what caused this?

In addition - I accidently left my trunk open last week - the car app never alerted me (though I just found and saw that there is a setting for that).

Installed Evo-One on Subaru Forester 2022 PTS (US) with THAR-ONE-SUB2 T-Harness and Linkr-LT2. Battery keeps draining with fortin connected.

T-Harness was a simple installation with 2 connectors behind cluster on the Keyless access ECU.

All recommended setting selected. It seems the car is not going to sleep. Any idea to solve this problem?

2014 Nissan Rogue EVO-ALL Parasitic Drain

Mon, 30 Dec 2019 20:59:09 +0000

I installed and programmed an EVO-NIST3 on a 2014 Nissan Rogue SL.

The remote start functionality works on the car, and it doesn't bring up any errors, but after installing the system, the car battery keeps going dead within hours.

A parasitic draw test reveled the EVO to be the culprit, adding 600-750mA of load on the battery even after the car has been sitting for 15-20 minutes, locked with all doors closed.

The problem seemed to be fixed after unplugging each harness connector from the BCM and replugging them, as the current was reduced to under 50mA total, and the battery survived nearly 8 hours without losing charge, but the next morning the battery was dead, and after charging, the battery had a parasitic load of nearly 800mA (again confirmed to be mostly from the EVO)

FTX64-2W Rremote batteries failing after a few weeks

Sat, 30 Jan 2016 12:14:00 +0000

Hello,

I have a 2011 Toyota Coralla (G-key) with a FORTIN EVO-ALL (Dealer Install). Stating with the origanl batteries, these remotes seem to drain their batteries within a few weeks. I have been trough 6 pairs of batteries with both remotes.

I was told me that these types of remotes have had problems and FORTIN reccomends swapping them for "R9" or "R10" remotes.

The dealer claims no knowlede have this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
