Disclaimer - I am not an installer. I am however highly skilled with electronics thanks to my service in the military. I don't know everything so I'm asking for assistance as Fortin Tech Support seems to be extremely busy. I have an actual question at the bottow of this long description. I'm installing an EVO-ONE into my 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid PTS. The diagrams provided by Fortin were very clear. I did all my research prior to the installation. I then labeled all my cables, flashed the bypass and remote starter to the version specified in the documentation. The configuration required from my car is basically default settings with option D4 enabled. I also enabled C1 as I am using the OEM remote. On the remote-starter, I have enabled the 3x lock for the OEM remote. I tapped and wire wrapped all my connections, then soldered them and covered the connecitons with electrical tape. I went through the whole programming process which is surprisingly easy. I received the flashing red and blue indicating successful programing of the KEY and CAN. Testing the OEM key fob, I was able to lock/unlock and open the trunk. The car starts normally and drive normally. When I tried the 3x lock, I see each lock received by the EVO by the flashing blue led each press. The Red led comes on and the car attempts to start. The parking light flash twice and the yellow led comes on. However, the car is NOT running. The Optima Hybrid should show a Green READY light on the dash, as well as all the various indicators should go out. The car is behaving as though the PTS button was pressed twice without the brake pedel leaving it with the accessories turned on but not running. After upgrading/downgrading various firmware. Talking with tech support and trying numerous options I am at an impass. What I have concluded is I did something wrong on the wiring. Retracing my steps I found that I questioned with the ignition connections from the EVO. QUESTION On the Optima I'm using A1 and E5 (+) to the ignition on the car. What isn't clear is if I should be TAPPING the ignition on the car ( I spliced the A1/E5 together and then tapped the ignition) OR should I be interrupting the ignition (say cutting the ignition wire, connecting one side to A1 and the other to E5). Is this any concern? Am I on the right track?
