Questions & Answers

Edited

During 2x key programming on my 2008 Mazdaspeed:

1. Hold program button, plug in main power connector, release when LED is red.

2. Plug in main 20 pin connector and 5 pin communication (CAN) connector into fortin.

3. Cycle first key into IG-ON (2) position and wait 3 seconds -> EVO Red light turns off, yellow light turns on.

4. Remove first key -> EVO yellow light turns off, red light turns on.

5. Insert second key into IG-ON (2) position and wait 3 seconds -> EVO red light stays on.

6. remove second key and within 5 seconds press and release program button ->  After this I can get different results, but the ignition never engages on its own:

a. EVO clicks once (relay?) and red light stays on. Car alarm is armed and will not allow me to start vehicle. Unplugging main EVO power connector reverts the car alarm to functional.

b. Nothing happens, LED remains Red.

In step 8 of the guide, it says the cars ignition will turn on (does not indicate that I should turn it on). This does NOT occur.

However, If I (within the 5 seconds after pressing program button) insert the key into IG-ON(2), The red light blinks 10 times, then the blue light blinks rapidly. Then they both go off, the unit clicks (relay) and only the yellow light stays on solid. This is what the guide says should happen without me turning on the ignition.

More info:

Trunk (I have hatchback) and hood safety switch are not connected.

I am programming the OEM remote for 3x lock remote starting.

Firmware updated November 4th with:

- Unit options: C1 and D2

- Function 8-5, 34-3

All wires pass continuity check between EVO and vehicle connector pin.
