EVO-ONE S/N: 002B07 337434 (Starter Vr. 7.1.21), (EVO-ALL Vr. 2.4.18), Date: 02/2019.
Car Mazda CX-5 2014 PTS A/T - EVO-ONE + THAR-ONE-MAZ3. Two OEM Remotes. Car OEM alarm system with its hood switch.
Hello, when I try to change or update firmware to the EVO-ONE on Remote Start panel the FlashLink Manager says: Device Flash Limit Reached.
Could you please reset my EVO-ONE completely as it was when I got it in 2019?, so I could config and install it again.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you.
Anyway, this is what happened to me if it is in your interest to know:
Module EVO-ONE installed by myself following Fortin guides and working since March 2019 till few weeks ago.
The module went working fine for several years till the day when it didn't start the engine, despite all the sequences on the module and on the car were ok as usual.
First I tried to reconfig some controls on the module through FlashLink Manager, very few of them because I do not know what exactly they do and I do not want to damage both the car and the module. No Valet mode. No luck.
So I decided to reinstall / update the module with the latest Firmware versions, both ByP (85.14v) and R/S (1.26v). With no luck.
Then I noticed something new on the car panel, it randomly started to show (only one of them at every attempt to start the car) the following alerts: "Key not found" (despite being into the car), "Brake-Pedal inspection needed" and "Check system key". Arm / disarm car and parking lights worked and blink ok as usual.
That all took me back into having a look at all intallation Fortin guides to this car.
I thought those panel alerts were caused (perhaps), because of updating firmwares on the module, so I installed some previous firmwares and tried in the car, no luck.
Then I Master Reset the Bypass (https://fortin.ca/en/download/61931/61931.pdf). All leds on the module were blinking ok so it seems to work fine. OEM remotes work (open / close the car), and also I can change and save config options on the pc through FlashLink Manager. Still stuck in the same issue though, it didn´t start the engine and those alerts on the car panel persist (randomly).
Then I also tried to reset the Remote Starter (https://fortin.ca/en/download/61941/61941.pdf), no luck even to get it reset.
(Is there any other way to reset the R/S I am missing?).
After some Remote Starter firmware updates were installed into the module and tested in the car, something new happened in the car panel: it turned crazy with all the lights and icons on the panel randomly flashing. I stoped this flashing just pussing twice PST button. Arm / disarm car and parking lights were Not working as they should be.
This flashing crazy lights on the panel disapeared once I removed the module and the harness form the car. Icons panel got back to normality.
Every time connecting and disconnecting module from the car, car battery (-) was disconnected.
Finally, and after another R/S firmware update on the module, it looks like the module has been blocked because the three leds (blue, yellow and red), blink at the same time for 25 times. Module does this kind fo blink every time I connect either to the Flashlink Manager on the pc (when selecting Remote Starter config panel), and to the car harness.
At this point, when the module is connected to the car there is no light (response) on the blue led when I press any button of the OEM remote (despite they open/close the car). I can start/stop the car with PST (yellow led on the module lights).
And now when I try to change or update firmware to the Remote Starter the FlashLink Manager says: Device Flash Limit Reached.
Please any help from you very appreciated.
I would like to get the module working back in the car as it was since 2019.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you.
