EVO-ALL solid blue and red lights - will not program 2011 F-150 OEM keys

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 19:43:46 +0000

UPDATE: Added step-by-step procedures.

Issue: The blue and red lights on EVO-ALL remain solid during and after attempting programming with 2 keys.

System: EVO-FORT4; Firmware: 71.52; EVO-ALL S/N: 001A07355490; Vehicle: 2011 F-150 3.5L; Remote: Two standard OEM keys; Guide #: 94891.

Troubleshooting: Double-checked all connections. Double-checked settings. Re-flashed EVO-ALL.

Followed procedure:

Program EVO-ALL and flash settings (firmware 71.52)
Plug in all connections (ignition, immobilized, OBD)
Manually connect "Key Sense" wire (A1, yellow, 20-pin connector) to the "Key Sense" wire (purple/yellow, either the 5-pin or 6-pin connector)
Page 7; Step 1: Hold button down on EVO-ALL; connect black 4-pin data-link harness
Page 7; Step 2: Release button when blue & red lights illuminate solid
Page 7; Step 3: Connect other harnesses (white 20-pin, red 6-pin, white 5-pin)
Page 7; Step 4: Insert key #1 to ON/RUN position
Page 7; Step 5: Wait 3 seconds: remove key #1
Page 7; Step 6: Quickly insert key #2 to ON/RUN position
Page 7; Step 7: Wait 3 seconds: remove key #2
Page 8; Step 8: Quickly insert key #1 to ON/RUN position; wait (blue light does not rapidly flash)
Page 8; Step 9: Remove key #1
Result: Vehicle locks cycle on and off (indicating key programming); however, EVO-ALL blue & red lights remain illuminated solid (no blinking). The truck responds correctly, but the EVO-ALL does not.

Note: There's a YouTube video showing that an initial data transfer programming step is needed prior to the step 1 in the guide (shown above): hold down the button on the EVO-ALL; release on blue; insert key #1; wait until EVO-ALL blue light rapidly flashes; remove key #1 to complete. This step is not in the provided guide. I attempted including this step after the 1st failed attempt, but the blue light never flashed rapidly. I received the same result below with and without this step.

The only manual connection I made is wiring the "Key Sense" wire (A1, yellow) on the 20-pin connector to the "Key Sense" wire (purple/yellow) on the other side of the EVO-ALL (either the 5-pin or 6-pin connector; can't tell with the harness).

Questions:

Is there another connection I missed?
Should the A1 yellow wire be connected to the other yellow wire (instead of the purple/yellow Key Sense wire)?
Other than connecting the 4-pin harness first, do I need to connect the other harnesses in a different sequence?

Any help would be appreciated!

Adding LinkR blue and red light doesn’t blink to conform it connected

I have a 2013 Toyota RAV4 limited push to start, i added a evo all remote start from mypushcart.com and bought a LinkR app remote start from them at the same time. The remote start was installed with ease, however when I tried adding the linkr remote app I push the program button wait for the red/blue leds to light, hold the program button again for five seconds for the red and blue leds to light again, push my start button twice to the run/acc, the yellow light comes on but the red/blue bottons don't blink to confirm the program connected

When programming RED and BLUE light are solid

I am trying to program the EVO one with EVO Start with a THAR-ONE-TOY1 harness on a 2009 FJ Cruiser, The instructions indicate that once the RED light is solid to let go of the Reset button, However after restrating this process a few times I continously get a solid Red and Blue light and nothing changes when I insert the key. Any ideas on what the issue maybe
