I'm trying to use the remote start (or push to start?) feature to replace my factory key. I need to prevent the vehicle from shutting off. I disable the foot brake option and was able to drive it but it died on the freeway!!! Very unsafe! - 2008 Dodge Sprinter w/ Crimestopper SP502 for remote start

I've just finished the wiring and programming of both my Fortin Evo All and Crimestopper SP502. I have paired remotes and know that the SP502 is responding because the siren is chirping, but it appears it's not talking to the Fortin Evo All, or if it is, the Fortin is not passing that info along to the vehicle. Doors aren't unlocking, remote start isn't working, parking lights aren't flashing, etc. I have tried programming the Evo All to all default settings for the most recent/recommended firmware. I've tried turning ON the Fortin/Evo Data Link option. I've tried messing with the different remote starter options, each time I've reinstalled the Fortin back into the vehicle (2008 Dodge Sprinter) I've followed the installation instructions (hold button, plug data link cable, blue led, ignition, blue led flashes, ignition off). After that, each time, when I turn the ignition on, I'm getting a solid orange LED on the Fortin. I've re-checked all the installation instructions, as well as my wiring, which is solid (soldered and covered with 3M 33+ electrical tape). The data link cable from the Fortin Evo All is hooked to the corresponding port on the SP502 for Fortin/Evo data link. Again, the SP502 alarm seems to be working fine, but either it's not able to communicate with the Fortin, or the Fortin isn't able to pass the info along to the CAN bus. What could be going on? Thanks! ADDITIONAL INFO 9/25/16: I tested the CAN bus on the vehicle to make sure it's operating correctly (or at least the voltages are correct. First of all, the factory key fob still works to lock and unlock the vehicle, which leads me to believe the vehicle CAN bus is fine. The voltages seems to be correct (close enough?) to what is outlined in this article ( http://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/showthread.php?t=129838 ) for Mercedes 2008 230 CAN voltages, which states No ignition: brown/red should be 25mv (measured 42mv) brown should be 11v (measured 10.8v) Ignition turned ON (engine not running) brown/red should be .65v ((measured .75v) brown should be 4.65v (measured 4.15v) The only voltage difference that seems questionable is brown/red (CAN high) w/o ignition (measure 42mv instead of 25mv). I've verifieid the wiring is correct accorind to the install guide. The wires ARE NOT reversed and the soldered splice is solid!
