Questions & Answers

2015 Dodge Dart, Manual Transmission. EVO One SN 002B04248404 with both factory key fob (tip style) and  Crimestopper Revo 4.1 Extended Range fobs. Installed using CHAR7 T harness.

Installed per guidelines. Seemed straight forward. Programmed Module using default suggestions. Decryptor appeared to work without error. 

Was able to start vehicle using factory key fob. Performed manual ready procedure…. Brake pedal, E brake, removed ignition key. Vehicle continued to run. Exited the vehicle and closed the door. At this point was unable to get the vehicle to stop running. Vehicle’s dash did indicate when the door was open and subsequently closed. Confirmed all  other doors and trunk were closed throughout the installation and testing. Hood groundout was wired but the hood remained closed and we confirmed the hood pin adjustment wasn’t grounding the module out.  

In one attempt, we started the vehicle, performed the manual ready mode procedure, exited the vehicle, waited 20 seconds, and then using the Revo fob lock functionality was able to shut off the vehicle but still, click 3 unlocks or the factory keyfob or “start” on the Revo fob did not result in the car starting. 

(8 hours later……)

After multiple attempts and rechecking the wire harness for correctness, reviewing the question and answers info on Fortin, and praying to the “Remote Gods”, we gave up. 

Any advice? Also… help me understand how many times I can reset the module and run the decryptor application. In an attempt to get this working, I think I performed the operation 4x’s. 

I seem to remember you can brick the module if you run the crypto too many times. Then I read something about as much as you want within a 5 year of module manufacturing date. Please clarify this. I certainly don’t want to “brick” the module.

Rob

update: Confirmed that the EVO One module cannot be "bricked". Worst case scenario is that it has to be reset by Fortin Support, but that it can be reprogrammed manytimes (at least for the same vehicle) manytimes without losing it's functionality. 

Have been able to get the car to run after removing the key from the ignition, but have not been able to get the car to shutoff when closing drivers door as indicated as a step or procedure in the "Manual Ready Mode Manual". Was able to get the vehicle to shut off via the start option on the aftermarket Revo 4 FOB, but that seemingly put the vehicle out of "ready mode" status as it would never allow for a successful remote start. 

Still scouring for answer as to why the vehicle will not shut off on its own when exiting the vehicle thus remaining in "ready mode" and allowing the remote start functionality to work properly.

I have a 2015 Corolla with an automatic transmission start button. 

Installed with THAR-TOY6 T-Harness & EVO ALL

The device flashes blue when opening or closing the doors, but when trying to operate it with the remote, it flashes 4 red, I keep trying to program it and it gives me 3 red flashes.

Flash blue once before red flashes

Hello, 

When pressing the remote start button on the RFK942 key fob, the remote start does not always activate. When this does not happen, the car behaves differently: the marker lights come on along with the low beam headlights for a couple of seconds, then everything goes off. However, when the remote start command is successful, the low beams do not activate, the turn signals come on for half a second, followed by the marker lights. Additionally, there seems to be a door lock click, then the engine starts, which can be seen in the video. https://youtube.com/shorts/B6o0cWfPQQo

Remote start with the factory key, activated by three presses on the lock button, does not cause any issues with the remote start.

The flash-link 4 has version 5 firmware, vr. 4.08. An additional impact sensor and siren are installed.

There is also an issue where if the car is armed or started with remote start, if the trunk door is opened with a sweeping motion from below (via the sensor), the siren starts making noise. If opened with the button on the door, everything is okay.

Thank you for your help!
