Questions & Answers

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!

I will receive my EVO All with a t-harness soon for my Toyota Rav4 2016, Limitted.

I know how to install it and setup the 3X Lock button remote start on my Rav4.

 

However, this is what I want to do next but I don't know how. I want to connect a raspbbery pi to the Evo All, and let it to stay connected to Evo All. I want to able to send commends to Evo All, while it is connected to the car's BCM. Like I want my to tell Evo All to remote start, or lock the doors or unlock them. How can I do that?

If you don't know, where can I find documentaions on how the Evo All device is built and function? Any white paper? Or any documentation on the device itself can also be helpful.

I finally had time this evening to install the remote starter but i believe the bypass is faulty.  I used the instruction provided in fortin website using the code(as usual).  I connected as is exactly as in the diagram..

- Hardwired wires from evo-all to Viper 5305 module as per dotted lines in the diagram....no more, no less.  

- Cut red and black wire of Datalink cable,  then connected Red to 12v and black to ground.  

- From Evo-all Connected Yellow(Ignition), Lt Blue/black(IMMO Data, Green/red(driver hoodpin and Lt Blue(Door lock data) as per diagram.

- Programmed the Evo-all as per instruction(it seems it worked according to Flash pattern in the diagram instruction.

-  I pressed lock/arm in Viper remote,  transponder and viper module communicates no problem which i can see on the viper's  antenna LED and siren chirps as it should.  even unlock button works as well between transponder and Viper module.

Now the problem........

- nothing happens to OEM arm/disarm when lock/unlock is pressed on the transponder.

- nothing happens to Door's lock/unlock  when lock/unlock is pressed on the transponder.

- no crank when remote start is pressed.  But transponder shows it did send the signal.

- when Viper is armed,  I can open any of the doors and alarm won't sound nor security system work.

- i know Viper is Working fine because when it's armed and start the engine using Key,  it didn't crank and alarm sounded...loud.

-  also,  no parking lights flashing or turning on.  But if i connect the Parking light from Viper to car instead of through evo-all,  then parking lights works.

After couple of hours trying all the tests  I know the module is not sending any info to either Car or Viper module.  I did a little more test by arming OEM security using car's FOB,  armed Viper by pressing lock,  then tried to remote start and voila,  it would crank but won't continue because the evo-all bypass seems not bypassing.  I reset/re-programmed  the module then suddenly all i got is solid Red bottom light.  It stays Red even after unplugging every wires then re-plugging it the datalink by itself.  It won't re-set anymore.
