2012 F150 with Evo-All and aftermarket remote start setting of factory alarm intermittently

Thu, 12 Apr 2018 14:39:43 +0000

I installed an aftermarket remote start system with push button start and proximity fobs. I wired it through the evo-all wire for wire to the remote start except for the horn which I didn't want beeping multiple times everytime I disarmed with the aftermarket fob. My main issue is with remote starting, but I will explain the behaviors of the systme in case they all add up to one answer.

When I unlock with the aftermarket fob the Accessory function of the ignition turns on for about 2 seconds then unlocks the truck. As long as the doors are all closed it will lock instantly, but the dome light takes about a minute to fade out. These I can live with. Usually I can hold the remote start button on my aftermarket fob for 4-5 seconds and it starts up no problem. At least once a week, sometime more frequently lately, the factory alarm will start sounding. If I start pressing keys randomly on the fob it may stop the alarm and then start, but usually it keeps sounding until I manually disarm the factory alarm. Luckily I have the keypad on the door to disarm the factory alarm since I don't carry the original keys anymore in lieu of the new push button start. The push button start works flawlessly everytime.

My Evo-All is updated to the newest firmware. I had it updated to the "Recommended" firmware, but something wasn't working correctly (can't remember exactly what, maybe the remote start, its been about 6 months).

Any help diagnosing this would be awesome. I love the remote start and the push button. But its really embarrasing trying to start the truck coming out of the store and then have your alarm sound until you walk accross the lot to enter code in door keypad. Takes away some of the conveniences.

Which bypass module will work with aftermarket push-to-start/proximity entry on 2012 F150.

I have a 2012 F150 FX4 5.0L truck. I currently have the EVO-FORT1 with 3X Lock Remote start and it works great, but due to the limited range of the factory fobs, I can barely use it efficiently (Within 15-20ft) usually. I also frequently forget to put the key in and kill it after remote starting, DOH!! I really like the push to start buttons and was looking for a solution for my truck. I found the EasyGO AM-F150-UH kit which will give remote start, alarm, and proximity with push to start. I would remove the EVO-FORT1 and sell it to a friend with a 2015 Escape to help finance my new toy. My only problem is the EasyGO connects to the CANBUS for tying into the necessary accessories and uses a PASS 4 key-in-the-box bypass module which I really do not like. It appears from the wiring diagram that its just a positive and negative going from the EasyGO to the PASS 4. I assume the EasyGO energizes the PASS 4 when remote starting or when the start button is pressed which then uses the signal wire to the ignition to make it think a key is present.

Is there a fortin module that works similar to my EVO that can accept the input from the EasyGO and bypass without leaving a key in the car?

Or is there a good recommended solution that will talk to my EVO as it sits to provide push button start and better distance for the remote start?
