Installed an Evo-All on a 2013 Kia Soul. The 3x lock sequence isn't starting the vehicle. Updated firmware to 76.31. Checked the 3x lock sequence in Flashlink Manager and the push-to-start option is turned on. Programming to vehicle seemed to complete OK, but instead of a quickly flashing blue LED, I have a quickly flashing blue with a solid red. I also get no indication of fob lock on the blue led. It does fast flash twice when unlocking the car but no response on locking. I do get the yellow LED when ignition is turned on from the PTS button. All manual functions seem ok, just no remote response. Also, I understood that the fob buttons wouldn't function after a remote start but does that include the proximity functions? With the engine started, I can't open the locked doors using the outside door handle buttons (detects fob nearby). Only way to enter the vehicle with the engine running is using a manual key. Kinda kills the logic behind installing a remote start system. ================= Corrected swapped CAN wires at obd connector, now unit seems to program fine. No red led on completion, just rapid flashing blue led. But still no response from unit with 3x lock. Blue led still doesn't give any flash upon lock signal but does flash twice on unlock. Troubleshooting guide says to ground GWR and try to start with and without brake pedal. That all seems to work normally. Double checked brake wire (white/red) for 12v when brake pressed and 12v feed (white/blue) and both wires are connected correctly, voltages OK. Tried grounding purple wire (external lock control) 3x also. No response from unit either manually or with fob. =============== Ok, just got off the phone with tech support. My wiring is ok, grounding yellow/black wire will start the car, just no detection of lock signal from key fob. TS let me know that this car will need an RF kit to operate, there is no way to detect the lock signal. That means a completely new fob and functions, not an option here. I wouldn't recommend this kit for this Kia Soul. Does anyone know if i can use this Evo-All with another vehicle? Can I reflash it for something else?....or am I just stuck with this $100 brick?

Vehicle: 2011 Ford Escape

Evo All #001A07260304 installed with T-harness THAR-FORD4; plug-n-play install, teed connections to ignition switch, immobilizer antenna and OBDII connector; no wires spliced

Can't get the unit to program.  Process: Hold program button, plug in data cable and release on red light.  Insert key and turn on until theft light turns out.  Remove first key and insert second.  Turn on for 3 seconds, theft light goes out, turn off and remove.  Last step says to press and release programming button within 5 seconds (this is where it gets stuck).  Red light should flash 10 times and blue light should flash 10 times and ignition comes on and turns off again.  When I press the button the last time, the red light blinks and just stays on.

I've tried the firmware downgrade listed in https://fortin.ca/en/qa/92073/faq-red-led-stuck-on .  That link says to downgrade to v 0.99 but the lowest version for Ford appears to be 4.01.  I flashed 4.01, power cycled in vehicle, reflashed v 71.52, unlocked settings and reset the unit.  Still same results.

I've also tried testing the data bus.  Hold button, insert data link connector, release button on blue light.  Connected all other connections and turned key on.  Blue light stays solid.  Shouldn't it flash on data?

The yellow wire is not connected as it seems to be part of the T harness, but I've tested it for 12v on ignition and it is getting it.  I don't have the valet switch or hood pin switch connected.  What am I missing?  I'm wearing out the plugs with all these connections/disconnections.
