Activating Remote Starter EVO one without Fortin remote

Fri, 13 Oct 2017 23:58:46 +0000

Hi, Common Question.

I always installl Evo one not Evo All. This is a generic question, still if u want then it is 2014 Toyota Camry G key. NOT push TO START.

1) Question is once is programmed bypass side and remote side and all are success. is there any way i can remote start the car without Fortin remote, meaning by passing ground to GWR wire like that sort.

Or the only way to activate remote starter is thru remote?.. I can understand without remote u cant put the starter to start, just for testing before configruing remote to the remote starter is there a way.

2) When i do master reset on remote starter side, is there any way i can retain programmed remote, rather than losing.

3) How do i master reset bypass side on bench and NOT in car. please advise.

2015 Highlander Autolight and factory disarm issues

Tue, 12 Jan 2016 22:04:17 +0000

We are installing an Avital 5303 with an EVO ALL module. When the vehicle is remote started, it works great, but the factory alarm honks while the vehicle is preparing to remote start and then stops, obviously due to ignition and smart key = factory disarm. Even with D2 programmed on the EVO ALL, it does not stop this. If I use the factory alarm disarm wire during remote start, the vehicle unlocks and remains unlocked. I guess I will have to hardwire the factory alarm disarm wire, even though the EVO instructions say that this issue will be corrected by enabling D2.

In addition, the customer always leaves their auto lights on. If you shut down the remote start, the lights stay on indefinitely, until a door is opened and closed. Does anyone know how to correct this?

Can I use the blank spot on my key to remote start instead of the 3x Lock?

I am working on installing the EVO-GM1 into a 2014 Equinox. They facotry Key has 4 buttons, 3 of them are being used and one is a "blank" spot. The button is there but there is no function for it. Can this button be used for the remote start on the EVO-All? If so, how? Thanks!
