EVO-ONE RF942 no antenna LED

Mon, 03 Feb 2025 14:37:39 +0000

Installed EVO-ONE car starts with OEM remote, and valet button works. After using the OEM unlock I tried to program 942 and can not ever get a blue LED on antenna blinking or solid, even following the on-off-on instructions. Valet button on antenna does not work. I checked out the antenna cable and it is good. I do NOT get a blue flash of the antenna LED when I plug in the antenna connector. Tried plugging the antenna into the Flashlink programmer and it can not be detected even when "special unit" is checked. Is there anything else I can do to determine if it is a bad antenna or something else ?

Installed an EVO One on a 2008 Honda Odyssey, engine will crank but not start.

Everything on the OEM works as it should, when I press lock-unlock-lock, the engine will crank but not start. The EVO ONE will try a second time but again will not start. If I insert the key and start manually, the engine will start.

Dead unit or gremlins?

2004 Suburban LT

Evo-One with Fortin 4 button 1 way remotes.

Reset the unit several times. Here's some more interesting info...the valet button doesn't do anything. I've replaced the valet button as well as just touched the wires together and still nothing. So doing a complete 23 reset is not possible.

Today I figured I would rewire the 6 pin harness, to eliminate the t connectors. No change.

It goes thru the start sequence, clicks once and then just like the key was turned off. It will act like it does a remote take over as well. When running, if I press to "leave" the vehicle but have it stay running, it clicks like it's ready. As soon as I turn the key it shuts down. It's getting cold and dark and I have maybe a few hours on weekends to try to figure this all out.

I have uploaded a video on YouTube.

RF 442 Kit - 1 Remote No Sound

Fri, 26 Jul 2024 22:57:27 +0000

I installed an RF 442 kit with my EVO One. One of the remotes only blinks green to confirm commands and does not play sound like the other remote does. Is there a way to enable the sound on the remote or do I just have a dud?

New registration of a RF-442 kit on an installed EVO-ONE with THAR-TOY8 kit

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 16:25:07 +0000

I have followed the intruction to the letter, but the problem i run into is that to set the remote programming mode, you have to press the antenna button 5 times, hit the brake, then use a programmed remote to click the lock button (mode 1)... but I don't have a programmed remote, because it's a new install. How am I supposed to use a programmed remote to enter remote program mode when I have brand new remotes that need programmed?

I have the EVO-ONE programmed to use the antenna remote, and it is also flashed to use the OEM remote, which is working perfectly. I just want the extended range because the OEM range is NO bueno BAD.

No horn chirp evo one 442 rf kit with a 2017 Tacoma H key ?

Sun, 26 Jan 2020 18:31:12 +0000

Everything works great on this evo one 442 kit, the rf remotes give an audible signal at lock, unlock, and start, and it works very well...but there is no audible horn chirp from the Tacoma at all, just the normal flashing parking lights , but no horn chirp. Is there a setting I'm missing on the bypass or remote side ?

Tue, 07 Jan 2020 01:11:57 +0000

Ive installed the evo all with the t-harness and the ftx 64 remote. I can remote start the truck with the fortin remote. The module locks the doors after the remore start. It monitors the door pin. It will shut the truck down with the fortin remote. I can un lock the doors with the fortin remote but the truck will not lock with the fortin lock button. It arms the factory alarm but does not move the locks.

FTC 64-2 with EVO-One in a Mistubishi Outlander - Won't perform

Sat, 28 Dec 2019 17:54:23 +0000

I have a FTC64-2 Module with an EVO One.

The systems seems to operate correctly with the OEM remote (3x)

It is unclear if I should use the T-Harness or plug the antenna directly into the blue port on the EVO One.

If I go directly into the blue port I can't seemed to get it programmed, when I get in program mode, the antenna never goes to a rapid blink.

If I go into the black data port, it seems to program per the instructions, but when I hit the unlock button, it won't unlock the doors, but the blue light on the Evo One will blink once. The remote seems to give confirmation with a green light, but the doors don't unlock, lock or get a remote start.

2014 Mazda 3 Automatic push to start. Using Guide #68451 for remote programming

I successfully installed the EVO-One with T-harness and the car starts with oem remote with no trouble. However, I am attempting to install the RF642W kit with no success. When I plug the antenna into the Evo one it will briefly flash blue but then wont illuminate again under any circumstance. I can put the module in and out of valet mode with 3 presses however if I hold the valet button when the ignition is turned on, I don’t get a horn/chirp like the quick installation guide suggests and thus can’t complete step 2 of the programming process. The evo-one and rf kit are new and have not been paired with other devices. Any help as to where i am going wrong would be appreciated

Evo One Cannot Go Into Programming or Valet Mode

Sat, 02 Sep 2017 01:12:24 +0000

My Evo One will not go into programming or valet mode for me to program the RF642W remotes. The key bypass is programmed, but that is the only thing that the unit will do. Is there a way to check if the remote starter side is functionally where I can get the parking lights to flash or the horn to honk?

RF-2W803-SS with evo one not programming

Sat, 14 Jan 2017 16:43:11 +0000

I am using the included ft-d100 adapter that came with Compustar RF-2W803-SS. I grounded and connected the 12v adapter. I went through the steps in the programming guide. Turn ignition to on position, press and hold valet button until horn chirps, press valet button 1x, press brake 1x, press lock button on remote, press brake 1x, turn off ignition.

I did not modify the 4-pin connector at all. The 4-pin connector has the white and blue wires crossed like suggested.

Is there another way to program the rf kit?

EVO ONE programming light blinking and other questions

Wed, 16 Mar 2016 18:41:50 +0000

So I got my EVO-ONE connected to my 2009 Mazda 5 with a FTX 44 2w remote. I was able to remote start it once and that was it. Along with that, I have some other concerns

1. When I try the remote start, the remote flashes green like it is going to go. The EVO-ONE programming light on the back flashes 4 times, which may indicate valet mode according to the guide, but the yellow LED isn't on. EDIT: Just tried turning off valet mode for kicks and now it works. Does the yellow LED not stay on when in valet mode?

2. No blue lights when locking or unlocking. Is that an issue?

3. The doors try to unlock twice when I push the unlock button. There is a pause of about half a second in between

4. I can only unlock the drivers door. A second unlock press does not unlock the rest of the doors

Otherwise I think I got it. Thanks for all of your help with this!

2007 Toyota Tundra Fortin FR642W Remotes Not Programming

Thu, 31 Dec 2015 17:20:50 +0000

I've installed the Fortin Evo-One onto a 2007 Toyota Tundra. Entering programming mode using the valet button is fine; however, the remote antenna seems to not be able to receive the remote's signal and program it. Which port would this antenna go in? Everything has power and the key bypass is already programmed to the vehicle. The only program is that the antenna is not registering the remote's signals into the Evo-One.

evo one and rf642w scion iq

Sun, 20 Dec 2015 16:19:59 +0000

Bought for remote start and wire up using the manual for "G" key of which is only one. Keys have absolutely no markings on them. Find out car does not have immobilizer. Don't think evo-one is getting programmed as the led's don't do as they should in steps 4 and 5. Could not get programmed for factory remote. Bought the rf642w kit and still no go. Everything is extremely vague about any programming and have tried numerous different ways. Knowing that there is no factory security I'm trying to use system for remote start and alarm functions.

Is it true that the EVO-ONE must be put in valet mode before programming 1WAMG6 and have firmware .96 only?

Fri, 18 Dec 2015 22:47:08 +0000

I tried calling Fortin tech support to no avail. Firstech RF Kits enabled on Remote Start via FlashLink. Unit responds to all programming cues as it should:

Key on, press and hold valet button- red light blinks rapidly-

Press and release valet switch once-

press brake pedal once

press lock on Compustar remote - no response

I receive parking light confirmations throughout the entire process indicating the unit is responding to my inputs, however it will not learn the remotes. I tried programming in mode 5 also as indicated in the Fortin Guide "25121"

Installed with RF converter. This is the second such installation I have performed, I had to completely abandon the EVO-ONE install the first time and install a Compustar remote start with an EVO-ALL for the customer. I really like the idea of using the EVO-ONE and really like all the Fortin Products. SOMEONE PLEASE TAKE THE MYSTERY OUT OF THE WHOLE RF KIT MYSTERY. It is really frustrating to put out such an innovative product yet Fortin has so little disclosure as to EXACTLY which RF Kits are compatible with this unit and not leave it up th the manufacturer of the RF Kit to decide whether it is compatible with your product!

You have a great product here but your screwing it up by being so unhelpful about how to add an RF Kit, you really need to revise your "supported RF Kits" idea of tech support.
