Does the NISSAN NIST4 wiring harness require an RF-A2A adapter for a 942 remote kit?

It looks like the NIST4 harness is already rigged up for the Fortin remote kits based on the blue plug that is present? Or does it still require the RFa2A adapter cable to properly split the serial data?

EVO ALL GUIDE #105331 - Confusing Language

Installing stand-alone on a 2020 Nissan Frontier PTS. The Frontier has a factory hood switch for alarm functions. The config / options section of the guide states to set A11 to OFF if no hood pin. Does this imply to set A11 to ON in this circumstance? And I assume the blue hood pin wire is moot in this situation, or does it require grounding as the full diagram illustrates? A little confused on the intent.

2012 VW Tiguan PTS - Heated Seats & Rear Defrost Question

I have an EVO-ALL using firmware 75.28 on a 2012 VW TIG PTS, and was wondering if this should / could allow for the heated seats and rear defrost to kick on in the winter? I see the option in the firware selections, but I had no success in the colder winter days we had here in Denver, CO a few months back. I saw some other info on a thread discussing to go back revisions to FW 61.11 to allow this to work via the CANBUS data (but not sure if that is actually NEWER or OLDER firmware)? If an EVOALL has no means to sense the coolant or cabin temp, and it would mean running the heated in the summer too, I guess I rather leave well enough alone given I would have to reprogram everything if I changed FW anyways. Thanks for any advice in advance, RW

Remote Kit Antennas - Can A 1 Way Kit Antenna Be Upgraded To A 2 Way Remote

Guessing NO... but wanted clarification. And can an older RF kit 2 way antenna work with the newer 900 series remotes if greater range is desired?

VW THAR1 HARNESS Install With A Fortin RF Kit

for an EVO-ALL Standalone I am getting ready to add an 

RF642W

series RF kit to a 2014 VW Tiguan that already has the THAR-VW1 harness installed.  Before ordering the parts, I am trying to figure out if I need the other small T-Harness for the RF Antenna you guys sell on the side (maybe called the RF-ALL?).  Does the main harness make this "plug and play" without an extra purchase?

2011 VW TIGUAN w/ PTS - STAND ALONE WITH KEY INSTALL

Robb- I promise this will be it from me regarding questions! I wanted to quickly update you on a chat I had with an installer today, and they said for a VW 2011 TIG w/ PTS they have used a VW1 harness and referenced GUIDE #65501. I found it interesting that it shows PTS TIGS dated 2012 - 2017 too, which the tech speculated was probably the first year in Canada the PTS came out. This guide only comes up on your search tool if I enter a 2014 VW TIG w/ PTS too, but I can imagine keeping all this data linked up and straight is tough enough. Here is my last question: To eliminate complexity on more unknowns I am going to just leave a valet key with chip in the vehicle vs fooling around with programming a TB-VW on an unknown config using Decrypter. What I can not undertand is why GUIDE #65501 depicts NOT SPLICING into the OEM transponder wire, and just wrapping the key and the detector on the column with the wire loop coming off the EVO-ALL harness. How will this solution not make the vehicle think there is ALWAYS a key in range for a manul start no matter what?? Is the trick to place the looped key a certain distance AWAY from the steering column OEM transponder so it can not pick it up? This one confused me, since this manual specifically states not to cut into the OEM transponder wire like every other Fortin install I have read. I want to also thank you for all your help! Truly a great resource.

2011 VW Tiguan Install Option Clarification

Asking this second question in a new thread since it is specific to install guide content.  It appears when I search for a 2011 VW Tiguan install options, that the one for an EV)-ALL with the VW2 harness AND a TB-VW pulls up the install guide for a 2012 and up VW Tiguan.  Is this guide actually applicable to a 2011 VW TIG, or is this a linking error?  It also makes me question if the VW2 harness is correct for a 2011 VW TIG vs the older VW1 iteration?

Thanks for the support!

2011 VW Tiguan - EVO ALL Stand Alone Remote Start w/ OEM Key COMPATIBLE?

I see some conflicting info out here that has me concerned an EVO-ALL will not work properly for a stand alone remote start install on a 2011 VW Tiguan.  

1)  My 2011 Tiguan is technically "push to start" with a transponder chip FOB to allow a start without a true keyed ignition. The install guides reference a STANDARD KEY install, but do show the key FOB wire looping to bypass the transponder.  I just want to be sure upon entering the vehicle after a remote start I would do what... "push the start button and brake" to confirm I had entered the vehicle to simulate turning a manual ignition key to ON? Or is this a dealbreaker?

2)  One of your techs stated that on a 2011 VW Tiguan NO REMOTE UNLOCK is possible with the OEM FOB after a remote start.  Is this true? And if YES, how the heck would I get into the vehicle after a remote start locked the doors and fired up the ignition?  The manual emergency key? Here is the thread...

Also, turn OFF D1 in the bypass options.

Ok thanks a lot , now it starts , one more question how do I get the remote to unlock while the vehicle is on , the remote won't function while the car is on , thanks

 commented Dec 24, 2014 by Ivan Flores  

 

By factory, the remote does not work while the vehicle is started. It's written in the guide and the website that the remote will not function on remote start. Unfortunately, there is no way around this.
