AX-RF2 - antenna LED won't flash and remotes will not program

Sun, 03 Dec 2017 12:25:57 +0000

I've installed an AX-ONE on my 2015 Ford Focus and it works properly off of the factory remotes.

I'm adding the AX-RF2 universal antenna with 2 remotes to the system.

Previously I asked a question about the need to change programmed function settings using the Flash-Link to allow for programming the remote/activating the antenna.

I received a reply stating that I do not need to change any program function settings.

The problem that I am having is that the antenna LED never lights up and I have not been able to program the remotes.
I've tried looking up installation instructions for the AX-RF2 without any success.
I found the instructions and manual for the FTX44-2W and RF442W (which appears to be the same unit under the EVO name brand).

It appears that I only need to plug in the AX-RF2 antenna into the AX-ONE's (4 PIN) Data-Link antenna port and then go through the programming steps that I've listed below:

1: Turn ignition On

2: Turn ignition Off

3: Turn ignition On

4: Antenna LED "should" turn On (but doesn't)

5: Press Brake Pedal 4 times

6: Press & Release the {-} button then the {Stop} button on each remote
7: Turn ignition Off

Am I missing something or using the wrong instructions?

Antenna cap popped off of AX-RF2. Options?

Hey guys. I've been using my remote start for about 6 months now and it's been a terrific experience. On Saturday afternoon I discovered that the cap that covers the antenna somehow came off and is nowhere to be found. So now all I have is a spring that loves to catch on everything in my pocket

Not sure if there are supposed to be other parts in addition to the spring or not but I'm wondering what my options would be for a replacement cap or a replacement remote?

Thanks!

Connecting an AX-RF2

I found a guide for the AX-RF2 / Fortin FTX44 (here for reference) and am a little confused. First of all, mine didn't come with the RF-A2A so I'm looking at wiring it in. The 3rd picture shows the do-it-yourself method but does not show the need for a fuse. Am I correct that one is needed?

Also, is there a manual for this remote somewhere? I only found one for the FTX64 on Crutchfield's website

Thanks for your help as always!

2010 Ford F150 Evo One (Ax One) and AX RF2. Will not shut down upon pressing remote start button.

I just installed a AX-One (Evo-One) standalone remote starter on a 2010 Ford F-150, with a Axxess/Fortin AX-RF2 2-way RF kit. I noticed a quirk with the RF2 remote. Lock and Unlock work fine, and so does the [I] button for remote starting the truck. However, if I want to shut the truck down, the remote start button [I] on the RF2 remote will not shut the truck down. I tried the [-] button, thinking that maybe this was a 'stop' button, but the parking lights would flash once and nothing else would happen. Hitting the brake pedal makes the engine shut down. Also, 3x remote start with the OEM remote works for starting the engine, as well as shutting it down.

Also, the remote start module is set up to beep the horn on the 2nd press of the lock or unlock button. Occasionally it will beep the horn on the first press of the lock button on the RF2 remote. Another quirk, or did I misconfigure a setting somewhere?

For what it's worth, I used 1-key programming when setting up the bypass module. Everything went smoothly with the install, aside from the quirks mentioned above. I currently have the module set for remote start only, no alarm.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

The service number for from the Flash Link Manager is 002B02025422, if you need to see the settings for the bypass side.
