Where to install remote starter antenna? Under rear view mirror/camera?

Wed, 04 Dec 2019 09:52:54 +0000

I have a 2018 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and I've successfully installed the EVO-ONE and it works perfect. I'm now adding an RFK912 RF kit.

Where is the best place to install the antenna?

Usually it's placed at the center of the windshield behind the rear view mirror, but the RAV4 has a camera/radar box there. Can I safely remove the box and install the antenna inside it? Should I place the antenna outside (and next to) the box?

Also, is it easy to remove the rubber around the door frame to route the antenna wire from the main ECU area (where the remote starter is) up to the rear view mirror area?

Thanks for any help!

Automatic lights do not work after install on 2018 RAV4

I've just finished installing the wiring on my 2018 RAV4 XLE Hybrid and now the automatic lights do not work.

NOTE: I've only connected the wires and the EVO-ONE is not connected yet.

I'm using the Fortin THAR-TOY6 harness and I've connected everything exactly as described in the manual:

1) Purple wire to (+) STARTER. (soldered connection)
2) White/Black wire to (-) START/STOP. (soldered connection)
3) +12V and GND wired to OBD2 per manual. (used Posi-Tap connectors; there is absolutely no way to pull OBD2 connector far enough out to solder wires behind connector)
4) "A" harness/passthrough connected to Main Body ECU.

I do not have an EVO-ONE yet but I wanted to finish the wiring. All car functions still work properly except the automatic lights.

What can I check to see why they are not working? I was extremely careful during installation and can't imagine why it's not working except that I don't have the EVO-ONE installed yet.

Dome lights no longer working following remote starter installation

Sat, 08 Oct 2016 15:09:03 +0000

Hello there

After properly installing the EVO-ALL standalone remote starter on a RAV4 Hybrid (2016, PTS) I have recently noticed that the cabin dome lights are not being lit when any door is opened. I have checked the fuses (OK), and the lights themselves are working just fine when toggled on/off manually for both front/rear in the cabin.

What do you recommend that should be done to the EVO-ALL installation for the dome lights to function again for this vehicle without removing the remote starter of course?

The days are getting darker up north and the dome lights become indispensable as we progress into winter.

Thanks!

Colors and numbers of wires in 30-pin connector in vehicle do not match with details in EVO-ALL installation guide!

I am attempting to install an EVO-ALL stand alone remote starter on a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (2016, push-to-start). Until I got to the 30-pin connector the installation proceeded smoothly as described in this guide: http://fortin.ca/en/download/58691/58691.pdf

As you can see from my attached photos the wires on the 30-pin connector in question look different than the one pictured in the guide downloaded from fortin.ca ('58691.pdf'). A couple of wires do not exist in my vehicle (among others: blue and red wires for tapping into RX and TX respectively).

Do you have any recommendations on how I can continue and complete the installation?

Thanks.
