sn 002B04 237806

2015 Mazda 3 Grand Touring Hatchback, push-to-start, smart key, manual transmission.  I cannot get the module to start the vehicle with 3x OEM remote lock.  I've followed the instructions for manual transmission in Guide #68261.  My EVO-ONE serial number is 002B04 298695 and it is dated 09/2022.  Here's what I've done:

EVO-ONE flashed with Firmware 85.12. Using T-Harness. Yellow loop wire NOT cut White wire labeled "for manual transmission only" on the T-harness is connected to the white wire coming out of the 20-pin connector.  These wires are just butt spliced with no other connection. DCryptor process to enable key bypass appears to have been successful from all FlashLink software messages. Remote starter option 33 is set to mode 2 for foot brake - handbrake - release foot brake Ready Mode process. Remote starter option 38 is set to mode 2 to enable 3x lock with OEM remote. Bypass option C1 is on for OEM remote status monitoring. I did not install a hood pin.  I am not concerned about remote starting while the hood is open.  Bypass option A11 is set to "off." Bypass options for foot brake, hand brake, door output monitoring are all set to "on."

To enable ready mode, I depress the foot brake, engage the hand brake, release the footbrake, and exit the car while it is still running without pushing the start button.  The car just sits there and runs, nothing happens when I close the door and walk so that the smart key is out of range.  I also tried doing this with shutting the car off before exiting and was still not able to remote start the vehicle.

When I press the lock button on the OEM remote, the blue LED on the EVO-ONE blinks indicating it is reading the CAN bus messages.

When the car is running, the yellow LED on the EVO-ONE is steadily illuminated.

At no point does the red LED on the EVO-ONE illuminate.  It does not turn on after pressing the OEM remote lock button 3x.

When I press the OEM lock button 3x after the above ready mode process, absolutely nothing happens except the car horn beeps on the 2nd and 3rd presses like it normally would.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Vehicle type:

2011 Mazda 3 (5 door/hatchback), manual transmission, key to start. Integrated key/keyfob (lock,unlock,panic), keyless entry w/RFID chip for factory immobilizer system.

Wants:

Remote Starter, Factory Immobilizer bypass, OEM keyfob (lock-lock-lock to start), alarm functionality optional at a later date.

Ready to install Evo-One, Flash-Link and RFK442.

Few problems so far (have not started install yet or any flashing of Evo-One vehicle specific Bypass settings):

   I see a conflict between Fortin wiring guide #80431 and #29661. Same vehicle, Mazda 3 - Axela 2010-2013, but two different wiring schemes.  Which one is the more correct one, or, can you suggest a better one?

   On Fortins website, for this vehicle it states 'Automatic Transmission Vehicles Only'  In Guide #80431, pg 5, it gives Manual Transmission programming instructions as does with Guide #29661 pg6, both of which conflicts with Fortins webpage.. 

   With Flash-Link v4.51, when entering vehicle info, there is NO option for Manual Transmission.

   In Guide #94011, pg11 (Function #20) Engine Supervision: Tachless, Analog or Data-Link.

I see there is no option for a true Analog input; i.e Vacuum switch, or hardwire to coil (or even a much older method of wraping 6in of stripped wire around a spark plug wire). Is there not a true analog tach input?

   I also cannot seem to anything at all about 'clutch bypass'

So, Manual Transmission? Yes or No? 

   For the Flash-Link Manager software, the v4.51 does not reflect the instructions I found for possibly older software instructions of Flash-Link Manager User Guide v1 #68731, any updated Guide #?

Flash-Link Manager software v4.51 (when I click on Settings in the software it shows v4.51-1.1.15)

Flash-Link V4 module, Hardware V5, Firmware v4.08

Evo-One module date 07/2021, s/n (PM me for serial number), Firmware: for a moment it showed v1.25 then within a few seconds dropped down to v1.01

Thanks, Nick.

I boutght The mazda EVO-All with T-harness for my 2015 Mazda PTA automatic and I am confused about the wiring on number 2,3 and 4 in red circles.

On guide #62681 page 6 at the bottom of the page(#2 in red circle) it says that I need to connect LT.BLUE/BLACK Wire to Pin#8 and the Lt.Blue wire to #9 pin on 32-pin White connector.my question is how am I supposed to do this?Do I need to disconnect the 32-pin White connector from Car and connect these 2 wires individually to the part which is attached to the car or the part wich I disconnect from the car?there is no conncetor in the harness to connect these 2 wires.

I have the same issue with #3 and #4 in RED circles at the bottom of the page 6 as-well.how am I supposed to conncet the D section on Evo-All to #1 & #3 on the 8-pin White connector and also connect 4A an 4B on the engine compartment.

I do not see any part on the harness to coonect these parts.am I supposed to buy connectores,strip the wires and attach the wires by myself?there is no extra connector or pin or wire stripper in the package.

Thanks for your help.

I am looking to install the EVO-All with the THAR-MAZ1 t-harrness in standalone configuration in a 2014 Mazda 3 (push-button automatic), and the installation guide states that 2 key fobs are required to programm the evo-all, however I only have 1 key fob.

I want a confirmation whether the evo-all can be programmed successfully with a single key fob, and clarification on what that process would look like? Should I simply skip the steps for the second key fob or follow the steps using the first key?

2014 Mazda 3 Automatic push to start. Using Guide #68451 for remote programming

I successfully installed the EVO-One with T-harness and the car starts with oem remote with no trouble. However, I am attempting to install the RF642W kit with no success.  When I plug the antenna into the Evo one it will briefly flash blue but then wont illuminate again under any circumstance. I can put the module in and out of valet mode with 3 presses however if I hold the valet button when the ignition is turned on, I don’t get a horn/chirp like the quick installation guide suggests and thus can’t complete step 2 of the programming process. The evo-one and rf kit are new and have not been paired with other devices. Any help as to where i am going wrong would be appreciated

Evo one sucsessfully installed using guide#68261
