My vehicle

Nissan Rogue Sport 2017

Oem remote start with key I added this to extend the range of remote start

My setup issues I have an evo all unit installed and working following the steps and guide I firstly had this unit installed around a 6 months the OEM starter went bad it was changed out and I reinstalled the unit with new updates the first time used I did not get any ideas of an issues but the following day after remote start the vehicle was making loud noises brush noise screeching and I cant describe it but it was very loud I open the hood and it seems like it was near the new starter and ideals if the remote start is messing up the vehicle. The current vehicle came with keys for remote start lock3× and a button for remote start.

Why is the vehicle not responding?

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 14:20:58 +0000

I have a Fortin evo all, a evo start lte, and also shock sensor. I’m getting feedback from the car which shows up on the Evo start, but commands sent aren’t working, and when the evo alarm goes off the vehicle alarm does not. I was hoping you could tell me if there’s some wiring that I’m not aware of, or if the process with the dcryptor is wrong? everything seemed to program correctly. I used the CHR7 T-harness and it’s on a 2018 grand Cherokee. What am I missing?

EVO-ALL cannot program sacrificied key in a standlone installation for Tiguan 2020 PTS

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 15:08:31 +0000

I am trying to setup a standalone installation for Volkswagen Tiguan 2020 European Trim with PTS and with digital cluster
I have wrapped the sacrificied key (even tried an oem ring) and connected the wiring following the guide # 94761

The ignition is not turning ON during programming (seems that Evo-All is not getting the key data from pin D5 and hence not sending it via pin D4 to the vehicle)
Hence when i press ingition ON during progamming the car tells me to get the key inside the vehicle

2017 IS-300

Mon, 25 May 2026 14:08:46 +0000

Hello. I installed a remote starter on a 2017 IS-300. I reprogrammed the firmware three times, but it didn't help. It programmed successfully, but when I pressed the button on the factory remote, the blue LED didn't respond (001A07213969). After that, I installed a different module, and it worked. What could be the cause?

Does Fortin support OEM remote start for 2026 Toyota Yaris GCC / Saudi Arabia models?

Sat, 16 May 2026 14:42:08 +0000

Hello,

I would like to know if the 2026 Toyota Yaris GCC / Saudi Arabia specification is officially supported by Fortin remote start systems.

The vehicle is a GCC / Saudi model, and I understand GCC Toyota vehicles may differ from North American versions regarding:

- Smart Key

- Push Start

- Immobilizer

- CANBUS communication

- Factory electronics

I would like to know:

- Which Fortin product is recommended

- Whether OEM key fob remote start is supported

- If a T-Harness is available

- Whether installation requires major wiring modifications

- Which Yaris trims are confirmed compatible

Thank you.

Module locking itself

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 09:38:38 +0000

I installed this evo all in my corolla with the TOY13 T harness back in 2022, and it worked flawlessly until maybe a year ago. The first odd issue was that it randomly started itself twice one day without me ever pressing the RF remote or activating it with the OEM remote. It didn't do that again after so I didn't think much of it. Then this year I found that my car was unlocked with the trunk open. After that instance I removed the starter and made sure to isolate all the wires that weren't used on the harness (Although this gave me no issues after 3 years), and I even did a master reset and reprogrammed it to the car. After maybe a month I noticed that the car would now start to randomly lock itself (again without me pressing anything on the remotes), and this has been the happening more frequently now. This is very odd and frustrating as the module was working perfectly for 3 years.

2005-2010 Toyota Tacoma remote start using factory remote

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 21:25:46 +0000

Following on a question from Sep 13, 2019: Toyota Tacoma Evo one installed but will not start or blink after being programmed.

Fortin Support stated that the factory remote can be used to start the engine by pressing the lock button three times when the driver's door lock signal (ground signal with a relay) is connected to the center pin of the shock sensor using remote start firmware 0.82.

Does this still work? Is there a firmware version avaliable that can do this?

2024 Hyundai Elantra N Fortin Evo One LTE Flashes red light 4 times after failed remote start.

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 00:16:32 +0000

All wires seems to be correct from the install manual. Can is reading correct. The car will crank when remote started but nothing. I don't see any security lights on the dash when I attempt to remote start. the red light will flash about 4 times on a failed start. from my understanding its possbily not reading the tach? is theres a recommended setting im missing in pro/wizard? theres no decryption required for the Hyundai correct? and i just program the key on "red" press button 6 times press ignition 2x wait for flashing blue and turn ignition off. I have a 6MT I have updated everything to the most recent firmware. i just cannot seem to figure out the last part. I also have the car under Tech Data-Link. do i have to learn the idle of the car at all for it to stay running? my blue light on the evo one lte dosn't light up when holding brake and holding button to learn tach. Any advice would be great! Thank you!

How to fix alarm coming on when remote starting car while vehicle is locked?

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 22:30:05 +0000

Hi all, I recently installed an EVO-ONE on my 2003 Lexus Is300. For some reason when my car is locked and I hit the remote starter the vehicle starts but the security alarm starts to sound. On the opposite end when the vehicle is unlocked, no alarm goes and it still starts. Not a huge burden but might be tricky if someone else at home wants to use it. My remote starter remote does not unlock and lock the vehicle as well. Any help is appreciated. Serial Number is 002BO4707522.

2011 Toyota RAV4 Push Start – Remote Start shuts off first time, runs fine second time

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 11:13:29 +0000

Hi everyone,

I installed a remote starter on a 2011 Toyota RAV4 push start using a Compustar 930S with CM900 brain and Fortin EVO-ALL bypass module.

On the first remote start attempt, the vehicle starts normally, then shuts off after about 5–6 seconds. Immediately after shutting down, the system automatically attempts to start the vehicle again without me pressing the remote, and on this second attempt it stays running normally.

Installation and programming were completed as instructed. No fault lights, and the EVO-ALL appears to be learned properly.

Has anyone seen this behavior before on Toyota push-to-start vehicles?

2020 jeep renegade remote start

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 08:36:40 +0000

For information. I installed Evo-ALL on a 2020 Jeep Renegade. I specified the Jeep Compass in the manager. It only took CAN-1...I took CAN from the lower connector behind the BCM. From the thin green and brown wires. I took the parking light line back to the place where it was indicated on the previous model. Programming required opening the ON switch 10 times, as written in the manual. The PTS line was blue. The data line was yellow-blue.

The fortin remote will replace the keyfob THAR-ONE-MAZ5

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 03:00:22 +0000

This maybe is a silly question, but I'm thinking to install the rf642w remote module into my car, do I have to carry with both keys, or this will replace the original keyfob?
Also, if this is possible, can this new key been detected the same way as the original keyfob (Key Localization System or PEPS) inside the car, and displaying a or an alert message when the key left the car once the car is running?

Mazda3 2020 cannot unlock doors after remote start

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 18:48:51 +0000

I have a Mazda3 2020 with push-to-start. Installed is an EVO-ALL and I have a modified key with a Fortin RM9MA. Up until recently, if I remote started the vehicle, I could then use my OEM or RM9MA key to unlock the doors. Now, once the vehicle is remote started, I cannot unlock the doors with either remote. The lights flash, and the gas cover locks/unlocks, but the doors remain locked.

Sometimes, if I turn off the vehicle using the key, I can then unlock the doors, but most of the time they still stay locked. I have had to use the emergency physical key to gain access to the car on multiple occasions. Please advise on troubleshooting steps.

Sent start request thru App - Said it started, it did not... almost killed battery

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 19:58:50 +0000

The app has worked both hot and cold for the last 6 months no issues.

I replaced my 12v battery as it had been 5 years on Friday. I drove good distances afterwards, and I also remote started more than once since then.

This morning I remote started thru app, it said vehicle started, but it never showed the headlights etc come on. I've been using the app to monitor voltage (because I knew my 12v was weak this winter before I replaced it) - So I noticed I started at 12.6. After issuing remote start I dropped quickly to 12.2, then got the alert in the app of 11.7. By the time I got to the car it was 11.1. The car was NOT running, just ignition was on.

I hit the brake. Then pressed the brake and started manually and everything is working normally now.

Any ideas on what caused this?

In addition - I accidently left my trunk open last week - the car app never alerted me (though I just found and saw that there is a setting for that).

2014 F150 Install Assistance for Parking Light

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 23:14:42 +0000

I have a FOR1 T-harness and EVO-ALL and I'm trying to wire it up for the first time. I'm using page 6 of this document as my guide. https://www.wirecolor.com/download/94891/94891.pdf

I've tapped into BCM Passenger Kick Panel for Parking Light+, but I'm not sure what to do with this wire. Am I expected to bring my own relay? Do I double up the wire on the existing factory relay and then run a wire from the factory relay to EVO-ALL? I've never tapped into a relay, do people just pop it out and put wire alongside the pin as the put it back in or is there a way to use a posi-tap on the back side easily?

kia seltos

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 23:02:22 +0000

Hello. I installed an Evo-Key on 2020 (2021) Kia Seltos (I had two of them). During programming, after opening the ignition, both modules showed both red and yellow lights. Then I pressed the programming button seven times... (The red light flashed six times). I opened the ignition, and everything was fine. Why does the manual say six times?
