2014 grand caravan T harness

Sat, 17 Oct 2015 21:17:16 +0000

I installed a 2014 grand caravan with evo all T harness and compustar cm 800. after programming, I can lock and unlock. but I tried many times to learn tach but failed. I changed seting from tachless to tach in starter brain. connection I made are +12v parkling light and ground. ignition and +12v connected in harness according to the diagram. D2D mode. the light was correct when programming.

I read cm800 install manual again. it says it support idata protocol. is that the means that cm800 doesn't support fortin 2 way d2d mode? it can tell evo all of door lock and unlock. but doesn't read foot brake and tach stauts?

driver door will not lock after remote start

2013 Kia Sorento LX pushbutton start, evo all hardware 6, firmware 4.18, remote starter brain compustar cm800. Reference used for installation ... evo-all_kia_sorento_-_push-to-start_(2011-2013).rev-20140626.pdf from this site.

Installation appears to be functioning ... doors will lock and unlock via remote starter remote. I have the remote starter set to unlock before start, lock after start ... if the doors aren't unlocked before start, the OEM security system complains (horn honks... and honks). The doors unlock, the vehicle starts successfully, but when the remote starter attempts to lock the doors after start, all doors EXCEPT the drivers door lock... I can see the lever flip to lock on the drivers door, but then it immediately flips back to open again.

Would this have something to do with the A10 pin hookup on the evo all? ... the reference says it goes to the "driver door pin" ... but the illustration looks contradictory ... the expolded view of connector #4 on the vehicle shows a different pin location than the unexploded one. Maybe I have the wrong pin there? What is that supposed to do and how can I test if I have the right one selected?

Any help would be appreciated. I can't use it this way. Cheers.

2013 Kia Sorento with Push Start.

Hi, the car starter I'm using with the Evo-ALL is a Compustar CM800. It has a parking light output (+) that is meant to flash the park lights when programming via the remotes or turn them on when the car is remote started. The wiring diagram provided on your site doesn't say what to do with this output from the car starter ... should it go into the EVO-All so the EVO can handle turning the park lights on and off, or should it be wired directly into the Kia ... if so can you tell me where the right wire is? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
