More of a Suggestion for an Ammendment

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 23:53:50 +0000

I was having trouble getting an EVO-ONE to program properly in a 2010 Santa Fe. I realize it's an older vehicle so maybe this is a moot point. It would process the CAN just fine, but when it came to the PATS programming I followed the instructions to the letter. I noted that the instructions state that the 3 LEDs should flash in sequence, which led me to believe that they would come on one at a time. They were sequencing, but always in pairs. This was the first misunderstanding. The second one was that the instructions state that the PATS programming may take up to 5min. I even used a stopwatch to time it and gave it a bit longer. Nothing. Finally after spending several hours confirming that EVERYTHING was done correctly, I reset the module (probably for the 5th time) and started again. CAN went in good, started the PATS sequence and walked away for a good 20-30 minutes. When I came back the yellow light was flashing quickly as it was supposed to. So I'd like to suggest that the wording be changed to reflect the fact that the LEDs do not flash in sequence, but in pairs, with a specific pattern, and that the procedure can take longer than 5 minutes. This would have saved me a LOT of time on this install.

Do I need INT-SL+ with 2008 Lexus IS250 or do I need Key-overide-All?

Thu, 02 Jan 2025 15:59:20 +0000

I have installed a EVO-ALL in my 2008 Lexus IS250, I got a INT-SL+ and followed those install instructions. I can't get the INT-SL to recognize the door lock from the door button. After further research, it looks like that module is only for domestic vehicles. It looks like I need the KEY-OVERIDE-ALL for imports. Can someone confirm? I found a specific install for the KEY-OVERIDE_ALL for the lexus, however its completely different than the guide than the EVO-ALL is showing.

I have also been unable to make the remote start work with the EVO-ALL. I got the RFK-411, data link connected it to the EVO-ALL, programmed the keys but nothing as far as remote start works. I

For 3x lock from the OEM remote you need to enable option C1 in the bypass and option 38.2 in the remote starter. How do I enable option C1 and option 38.2 for a 2015 legacy automatic keyed start?

Why won't my Evo-One move past step 4 on programming?

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 04:30:30 +0000

I have verified the correct firmware, proper voltage on yellow wire A1, and correct can-bus wiring.I have constant 12v with a good ground. When I turn the ignition to run the blue led that is supposed to flash 10x's turns off. I installed accordind to the install guide provided through fortin's website.I have followed the troubleshooting guide and get stuck after confirming all 5 steps

The first 3 steps in the programming are very straight forward. If you cannot pass these steps verify the following:
1- Firmware: Ensure you have flashed the correct firmware to the module as indicated in the installation guide.
2- Power & Ground: Verify the module is receiving a constant 12 volts and has a good ground.
3- Yellow Wire (A1): Verify this wire is on the correct ignition wire. Their should be 0 Volts present during the first 3 steps.

If the Blue led does not flash common issues would be the following:

1- Yellow wire (A1): Not connected to correct ignition source.
2- Can Bus Wires: If these are reversed or connected to the wrong can bus wires the module will not program.

Does key bypass need to be done before flashlink manager?

I can not get evo one to link with imoblizer on 2000 excursion

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 18:43:24 +0000

I purchased a flashlink programmer and still can not get this to work correctly. I also purchased a RF641 key fob set and still no luck. It cranks the ignition as it should but will not activate the imoblizer bypass. I have tried to program this at least 50 times using a stopwatch. I have also checked the wires and probed them no less than 20 times. I get a red light as normal then insert the first key for 3 seconds with solid red light and yellow turns on solid as soon as ignition is activated. Insert second key and yellow stays lit and a second into it the red starts flashing until the both go out. Can you please help?

infiniti m35x evo all does not program

Tue, 12 Mar 2019 20:53:41 +0000

hello, I just installed an evo all in an infiniti m35x 2006, I have made all the corresponding connections but at the time of programming I find a problem, the instructions say that at the moment the blue light of the evo there is set flashing (last step) press the start button to turn off the vehicle and at that moment the blue light should turn off, but the problem is that it turns off but immediately the yellow and red light start to flash intermittently without stopping and so the evo remains all alone until I completely disconnect, what can I do, i checked the cam hight the cam low and the other connections and I notice all of them well.

Re-program tach?

Tue, 22 Jan 2019 13:20:38 +0000

I wired up an Evo-all to my '05 Lexus GX470 with a Viper alarm/remote start system. It had been working perfectly find for the past few months until I tried remote starting and the remote FOB ran out of battery right when I pressed the remote start button. Now when I try to remote start, the vehicle will start for 1-2 seconds, shuts off, and attempt to keep restarting over and over again.

I spoke with Fortin tech support and they told me to re-program the tach. I asked if it was the same as re-programming it all over again from the start but the tech support just kept repeating "re-program the tach." Based on the install manual I used from your website, the only "programming" I needed to do was the bypass. How do I just program the tach?

2010 4 Runner evo-all wont program

Mon, 15 Jan 2018 22:41:41 +0000

I have connected an evo-all, firmware 79.43 with a crimestopper remote start on a 2010 toyota 4 runner with a g labeled key. Connecting at obd2 violet wire (can high) white wire (can low) and green wire (immo data). Once I get to step 5 of programming the evo-all only flashes red. Are there any other can high, low and data wires?

Evo-All won`t program

Mon, 08 Jan 2018 16:29:17 +0000

2006 Saab 9-7x not using the data link to the remote starter, just analog. I connect everything up and try to program the unit to the vehicle.as per the instructions (hold button, connect data link connector, let go when blue LED on, turn key to run...). When I turn the key to run, the blue LED does not turn off or anything. Waited for more than 15 minutes and nothing would happen. PPL/YEL wire to OBD wire is connected correctly. Tried repeatedly and still the blue LED stays on.

Just one note on this vehicle. You have the same programming for this vehicle as for TrailBlazers an Envoys. This vehicle is different than all the other trucks in this series in that it uses PassKey 3 and NOT Passlock like the others in case that makes a difference.

Option change - program again? black 4 pin cable? = '12 Ram 2500 Diesel

Sat, 06 Jan 2018 14:48:24 +0000

Hello Fortin,

Now that it's cold out I pulled out the evo-all and connected to my PC, updated to the recommended firmware update (just below the beta one), changed my idle time to longer, saved options successfully, the quite the program.

Do I need to program the truck/evo-all again using the button/directions on page 7 of the harness which is a THAR-CHR4 ?

Since I am here:

1.)

I have noticed sometimes like 5% of the time (1 out of 20 attempts) I here a sharp metal sound like it's turning the starter a little too long or something. Kind of like when someone turns a key when an engine is already running, but in my case it rather a split second of that sound, however it's enough for me to notice it and make me cringe.

2.)

5% to 10% (1 to 2 times out of 20 attempts) when my truck is starting up it has a stall like it goes to crank over half a crank, and then tries again and then it starts up. I don't here the metal sound like above and I see no correlation between the sound above and this stall. I also don't see it correlating to whether I unlock it or not before it starts. They seem like separate issues. I don't mind this issue, but the metal sound seems bad.

What is going on with #1 and #2? Neither of these issues has ever happened using the key and only when using the lock-lock-lock start. Since Ram changed in 2013 maybe my 2012 has a 2013 starter system or something???

I love the system, and I'm hoping what I am experiencing is no big deal. Oh,its a 2012 Ram 2500 Diesel and has 20k miles, basically brand new.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!!!

EVO-KEY will not enter step 4 of programming procedure. 2008 Kia Sedona

Mon, 20 Feb 2017 13:28:28 +0000

EVO-KEY service number 002A02 040238

Hardware Version 2

Firmware Version 1.07

Date 09/2016

Vehicle: 2008 Kia Sedona

EVO-KEY is wired as per Guide #15461, Rev 20140930. Connected to Pro-Start CT-3271 remote starter via datalink. I have confirmed that Data wires are not reversed. I have also confirmed that there is +12V @ ignition wire when key turned to "Run", 0V when key off, and this voltage is being seen at the A2 pin of the 6 pin connector.

Steps 1 to 3 in Programming Procedure followed and ok, however when key is inserted and turned to "Run" the yellow LED remains on and the red LED remains off. Have reset the EVO-KEY as per instructions here: http://fortin.ca/en/qa/49063/reset-evo-key?show=49063#q49063, with no change in the result.

What am I missing to get the EVO-KEY to program?

Thanks.

EVO ALL in 2010 Lincoln MKX won't program

Sun, 19 Feb 2017 17:09:15 +0000

I reviewed the other post on this exact issue.

At first attempt programming (using programming 3--2 keys) the red led flashed and then blue led flashed. The vehicle wouldn't remote start. I attempted a dozen times changing firmware (4.18, 71.39, 71.35, 71.34, 71.11) and programming using the two key method as well as decryptor process and single key. When attempting to program using the two key method, the red led does not flash, nor does the blue led flash. When using decryptor method, after uploading/downloading and updating the module, the vehicle will not remote start, the security light flashes on the dash indicating no valid key. If I hold the key next to the barrel it will remote start.

i swapped out the evo-all for another, same result. I swapped out the evo-all for an evo-ride, the red led does not flash when I press the program buttton.

RX (lt blue/blk) is connected to the yellow/org pin 4 of transponder

TX (lt blue) is connected to purple/grey pin 3 of transponder connector.

I tried swapping RX and TX, module wouldn't go into correct programming mode.

I tried using the guide for Ford Edge, connecting evo-all relay output (Wht/blue, wht/red) to +12v, ign.

5 hours troubleshooting this thing. Normally changing firmware solves these type of issues, but I am at a loss.

2012 Chevy Cruze EVO-ALL Will Not Program

Sun, 05 Feb 2017 15:02:51 +0000

I cannot get my EVO-ALL to program properly in stand-alone mode in my 2012 Chevy Cruze (not push button). No matter what I do, in both the standard programming method and the DCryptor method, the very last step with the flashing blue light never occurs. In standard programming, I get to the last part of step 4 after the yellow led flashes 10x and the blue light never flashes. In the DCryptor method, I get to the very last part of step 7 where the blue led turns on, then blue and red turn off, then yellow flashes and then turns off. Again, the blue led never flashes afterward. I went ahead and ran the DCryptor portion in Flash-Link and it seemed to succeed, but I am still unable to start the car in stand-alone mode.

I've double checked my connection to the ODBII connector with the brown wire, and I'm using the THAR-GM1v2 harness. I've also tried a factory reset and flashing older firmware versions. Nothing has made any difference.

Evo-ALL + 2002 Toyota Sienna bypass wont program

Sun, 08 Jan 2017 20:58:13 +0000

I am attemping to install a ProStart 2-Way LCD Remote Starter, 6-Button onto a Toyota Sienna 2002 with Fortin EVO-ALL bypass module. I have made all the necessary connections to the remote starter, programmed successfully; doors, locking, unlock worked. Now I believe, my problem lies within the EVO-ALL bypass. I followed this guide: http://fortin.ca/download/5801/evo-all_toyotalexus_regconfig_cahierd20120813.pdf (connection 2, program 1) posted on the fortin website. When I went to program the bypass module it stayed at the red solid LED and would not flash red rapidly for 10 secs. My questions are:

1. The remote starter in the mode 4 function 4, it has 3 options: 1- way ADS (D2D), 2-way XpressKIT (D2D) and 1-way Fortin(D2D). So now, which one should I select? . I've try using 1-way D2D mode in the remote starter and hardwiring the bypass data link wires (red to +12V and black to ground(-)) and still doesn't programmed. I also tried switching the option to 2-way XpressKIT, bypass wont program.

2. Following the above question, would I need to use a flash link manager to change my Fortin bypass to Fortin2 (2-way D2D)? Is this an option?

3. The guide doesn't state that this vehicle need to connect the 5 pin CAN BUS connector. Am I correct?

4. What can I possibly do to resolve this?

Thanks,

Evo All does not successfully program

Sun, 04 Dec 2016 20:50:23 +0000

Hi, I'm having trouble programming the Evo-All. I've checked on the FAQs and made sure I have a good connection to the ignition. Can you provide any troubleshooting why it will not program. I've managed to get to the step where I hold the program button and insert the data-link. I release when the red and the blue are illuminated and I then proceed to connect all remaining connectors. Connected the 12 pin and then the 2 adjacent 5 and 6 pin connectors. I then proceed to press the program button 2x however no change occurs. This is where I'm stuck.

Accessory Slots on Evo-All/NIST1

Sun, 23 Oct 2016 20:37:24 +0000

Installed a EVO-NIST1 on a 2012 Nissan Altima along with a Fortin RF642W RF kit. Everything works great! However, I'd like to use the RF remote to open the trunk ([-] & lock) as well as turn the rear defrost on ([-] & unlock) using the accesorries slot on the EVO.

According to wirecolor.com the trunk release neg is Pin 147 on the grey BCM connector. Similarly, the rear defrost neg is Pin 19 on the green BCM connector. However, the install guide provided for the NIST1 doesn't show which wires are the auxillary outputs. Other EVO I've installed AUX 1 was the orange wire and AUX2 was the orange/black wire. Are these wires still the AUX outputs for the NIST1 or have they been disabled?

If they are enabled will I need to place anytype of resistor between the AUX output of the EVO or can I simply tap into the existing wire?

What is the correct way to connect wires?

Tue, 05 Jul 2016 14:46:41 +0000

T-Taps, Butt connectors 2 pounds of solder I've seen and heard it all...most of the time resulting in a headache and lost time. So i thought i would break it down and show the 5 easy steps to make a good quality and secure connection in a vehicle.

The 5 Steps are as follows:

1- Strip back the inulation of the wire you wish to connect to.

2- Seperate the braid to create an opening in the wire.

3- Insert the wire that is to be connected into the opening.

4- Close the wire.

5- Finally twist the wire around securing them togehter and finish it off with some electrical tape.
