Evo1 vs evoAll for Mazda

Which one would I need for a stock car with no remote start? I only want to use the OEM key fob to control it and don't have any other starter installed. From what I think, the evo all is not stand alone, which requires another starter from viper, compustar? But the evo one is standalone and so this is what I would need to be able to program to my oem key fob?

Specific  Mazda questions, but some background knowledge: Mazda cars have this issue where if a car has been remote started, the engine shuts off if the door is opened. It's a "safety feature " but clearly very poorly thought out. I'm wondering if Fortin is able to bypass it.

1) for a 2016 cx5 automatic, would the engine stop when a door is opened ? In this video below (skip to 15:15 if not already linked) you can see how this gentleman can open the door and engine still runs.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=917&v=wbIzTEKrUrc&feature=youtu.be There is still safety-engine turns off if he doesn't push start the car before touching the brakes. This video is for a 2019 cx5, but it uses the same key fob as my 2016 cx5. Would I expect same operation? I may have seen a user post a 2016 cx5 with the same issue. 

2) I'm planning to get a new mazda3, and install Fortin if it works well with cx5 above. Same question as above: would this system allow me to open the door and have the engine still run?

FAQ: How do I know/how to test if my vehicle has an OEM alarm.

Just figured I would post this as I have often been asked...

 

" How do I know/how to test if my vehicle has an OEM alarm?"

 

Really simple to check, perform the following test:.

 

 

1- Put down the drivers window.

 

2- Ensure all doors are closed, including the hood and trunk.

 

3- Lock the vehicle using the OEM remote.

 

4- Wait between 45-60 seconds after you have locked the vehicle to allow the system to arm itself.

 

5- Once you have waited the time period reach inside the drivers door and open the drivers door from the inside handle. (basically replicating someone trying to steal your belongings/vehicle).

 

6- At this point your alarm will either go off or it won't, answering the question if your vehicle is equipped with a factory alarm!

 

Side note: good way to also test to see if your vehicle has a factory hood pin that is part of the alarm system is to do the above test but instead of opening the door first, reach in and pull the hood release latch. (useful on newer Mazda vehicles with factory hood pins that are part of the OEM alarm). If no alarm goes off, then open the drivers door. If the alarm goes off when you open the drivers door and not when you open the hood. Then this answers your question if the factory hood pin is part of the alarm system.
