make sure to follow their instructions on how to connect it to the EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE using their own HRN-LLRS-01 harness setup the app for fortin follow programming in car
 

Here is a copy of their guide. Please read attentively every step of programming since their is setup in the app you must first do. https://fortin.ca/download/64631/ascl6-install-guide-64631.pdf

Igniton ON-OFF-ON  (red led on evo will turn on solid) Hit brake 4 times (red led will flash on each brake press) At this point wait 10 seconds then shut off the car.

EVO-ALL Programming

Please first try the EVO-ONE. It was added to the EVO-ALL firmwares. 

Otherwise, this older method is still functional.

Disconnect the 20-pin connector Disconnect the 4-pin black connector Press and Hold programming while inserting 4 pin connector.  Release when the LEDs are BLUE and RED Press and HOLD programming button, wait until the BLUE and RED LEDs turn and then BACK ON. Release when they turn back ON. Plug in 20-pin connector Turn ignition ON, all three LEDS will turn ON Wait 10 seconds, then turn off ignition. 

Yes. 

The Flash Link Updater programming tool is a trade tool. It is required in order to flash approriate firmware and setup approriate options in the EVO-Series remote starter and remote starter bypass modules. 

The Flash Link Updater is also required when vehicle programming requires the use the Dcryptor process.

If the RED and YELLOW flash during programming after cyling the key to the ON position, do this.

Turn car off Plug in ONLY the RED connector in the EVO Start car and let run 5 secs. Shut down car. Do NOT disconnect RED connector Wait 20-30 Seconds Start programming

When a module is stuck on the RED LED. 

flash version 0.99 disconnect unit from the flasher and power cycle it in the car (connect/disconnect power connector) connect module back to the flash link and flash whatever firmware you need Turn settings protection OFF if it's on and SAVE the options. Reset the unit following the reset procedure. (this cannot be done while module is connected to the flash link) : https://fortin.ca/en/qa/50193/faq-how-do-i-reset-my-evo-all?show=50193#q50193 Connect module back to the flash link and enable required options. Reprogram module to the vehicle following instructions in the installation guide.

Reasons this happened.

Unit was connected WHILE doing the install. Unit was disconnected during CAN programming before the blue led started to flash. Power was disconnected while all other connectors were still connected.  during an update or save of options, the flash link lost connection to the module or the internet RF protocols not setup correctly, or RF device not paired to unit correctly. Datalink protocols not setup correctly. Bad ground. Loss of power during writing of data to the module.

Got a broken passlock on your vehicle?

The PASSLOCK SL2 IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED TO FIX THE BROKEN PASSLOCK ON THE VEHICLE.

As stated on the product page. https://fortin.ca/en/products/alpha-series/passlock-sl2-v2/

***** A FULLY functioning Passlock system and Working Key which is able to START the Vehicles at all times is required. FOR REMOTE STARTER USE ONLY.*****.

Every profession has its tools. The Flash-Link Updater device, and the Flash-Link Manager software, are no exception to this rule.

The Flash Link Updater (FLU) allows you to update the firmware on your Fortin bypass modules and remote-starters in a matter of seconds. The FLU will work with modules that have bar codes or QR codes stamped on the label. It's compatible with Windows software, and allows you to upgrade/downgrade the firmware version on any of our supported modules through a USB cable, PC and Internet connection..

The Flash-Link Updater device is available through all Fortin authorized distributors.

The Flash-Link Manager software is available for free download here: https://fortin.ca/en/support/flashlinkmanager.html

Ford 80-bit programming is actually very simple to troubleshoot!

Always be at the latest firmware.

The programming procedure is the factory key learning procedure. When you cycle the first key a third time, the door locks on the vehicle will cycle (on most SUVs and Pick-ups), this is the vehicle confirming to you that you have allowed the vehicle to enter programming.

You should be able to this without the bypass even connected. If the door locks do not cycle, it may simply be timing (either going to fast or too slow) when cycling between key1-key2-key1

Here's some other pointers:

When the first key goes on, All three LEDs will turn ON ( Red, Yellow, Blue) When the second key goes on, only the Blue and Red should be On.
if the yellow LED is still on when you put the second key On, there;s an issue with Rx and/or Tx it's also possible that EVO-ALL is actually keeping ignition On even though you turned the key off. Just do the programming without connecting the RED connector to the EVO. Reconnect it once programming is done.
When the first key goes on the second time (step 8), door locks should cycle
this is the vehicle confirming to you that you have entered programming you should be able to allow the vehicle to enter programming following the Key1-Key2-Key1 procedure without the EVO even connected.

If not using a T-harness, double check the Rx and Tx connections. Rx on the vehicle is always in Pin 4 at the transponder connector. Do not go by color because some vehicles actually swap colors, go by pin location. I've seen this enough to not trust the wire colors for Rx and Tx on Ford (specifically F-Series).

This post is aimed at the EVO-ALL alarm feature only, anything relating to the EVO-ONE alarm feature will be posted in another post (THIS ONE).

The EVO-ALARM feature is compatible on vehicles that we can monitor the vehicles door status through Can-Bus. On vehicles that we can also monitor the OEM remotes, this means you could control the EVO-ALL alarm from the factory remotes. The main reason we have added the EVO-ALARM feature is to add that much appreciated extra convenience of security in vehicles that do not have a factory alarm.

Since this is a firmware related feature, all current units you have in stock or have installed already can benefit from this! (this is also a prime example of why we have firmware updates).

Here are some possibilties of how or when you can integrate the EVO-ALARM feature.

When OEM Remote Monitoring is functional and 3x Lock Start / Stop is also compatible, activating the EVO-ALARM feature will allow you to control both remote starting your vehicle and arming / disarming the EVO-ALARM feature. You can also use the EVO-ALARM feature in conjunction with any datalink compatible remote starter when using the EVO-ALL as the transponder bypass and Can-Bus integration module. The EVO-ALARM feature can also be controlled via an RF-KIT when doing a Stand Slone Remote Starter installation with the EVO-ALL (basically exactly like #1 but controlled via aftermarket remotes). Use the EVO-ALL as just a basic alarm controlled either via the OEM remotes (if the vehcile is compatible with OEM Remote Monitoring) or through an RF-KIT.

An important and often overlooked step, is that the EVO-ALARM feature has its own installation guide! You can find it here : Download Installation Guide This installation covers the basic connections required to have the EVO-ALL act as an alarm. Although there are three different diagrams, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME when it comes to the EVO-ALL connections. We only seperated into three diagrams to show that it can be used on it's own, with an RF-KIT or with a separate remote starter.

coming back to finish this at a later date....

for any infomation on the EVO-ALARM, please contact support or click the Ask a Question link above.

Problem: Remote starter with AM remotes installed on a Kia Sedona 2015.

Cause: The vehicle emits "something" at the same frequency as the aftermarket antenna/remotes once it is started. This causes interference with the RF signals of aftermarket antenna/remotes.

Solution: Use FM remotes.

The master reset is very simple on the EVO-ALL, but be warned that a reset will also reset all the options back to default if Settings Protection was not enabled. So if you have any special options enabled (such as the all famous D1 and C1 for 3x lock start), or if the vehicle programming requires the use of the DCryptor, make sure that you have access to the Flash-Link Manager!

So here it is...

Hold down programming button while plugging in datalink connector. Let go of button when LED is RED. Push and hold button again until all three LEDs start to alternate. Disconnect unit, it is now reset.

Your best bet here is to follow the step-by-step guide available here : EVO-ONE & OEM Remotes

That guide covers basic option setting for 3x Lock Start on Automatic vehicles. If your vehicle is Manual/Standard transmission, you will also have to enable option 33.2. Flash-Link Updater REQUIRED

Quick Run down.

The EVO-ONE has two sets of options. There are options for the remote starter portion while there are also options for the bypass portion of the unit. The remote starter options are used mainly for convenience features such as enabling 3x lock start, alarm functions, cold timers etc... while the bypass options are there to set various DATA / Can-Bus features such as the all important OEM Remote Monitoring.

To toggle between remote starter and bypass options (and firmware updates) via the Flash-Link Manager, you must press the TOGGLE button in the flash-link manager program while the unit is disconnected. There is a text on the bottom right corner that will tell you if you are in Connection Mode : Bypass or Connection Mode : Remote Starter.

While Connection Mode : Remote Starter is active, go to the EVO-ONE Options tab and enable the following option(s).

Option 38.2 - Enable 3x Lock Start (this tells the remote starter that it will be controlled via the oem remote commands detected and then sent via the integrated bypass module) Option 33.2 - Enable this option only if you have a manual transmission vehicle. While here, if the vehicle specific install guide also mentions other required options, please set them now. Don't forget to SAVE OPTIONS.

While Connection Mode : Bypass is active,

First, make sure you have selected and flashed the unit to the latest firmware for your vehicle. You will find the latest firmware under the EVO-ONE Updates tab. Go to EVO-ONE Options Scroll through the options and enable Option C1 - OEM Remote Monitoring (this option allows the bypass portion to actually monitor the oem remotes so that the previous 38.2 option can actually work). Attention! Please leave all the A1-A11 options untouched unless told otherwise. Don't forget to SAVE OPTIONS
