EVO-ALL as standalone on 2011 Santa Fe with key

Question

First, is it possible to use the EVO-ALL as a standalone on this vehicle?

I am about to install this once the product arrives. I read in a previous question relating to the PTS model (mine is not) that the lock/unlock remote functions no longer work after the vehicle is running. Is this specific to PTS or will it affect the regular key model as well? Has the issue been fixed? If not, I take it I will need to use the key to unlock and possibly set off the alarm?

Also, if I currently press the lock button twice the horn honks. Can I bypass this on install (as I will need to push the lock button 3 times to start) or will my horn honk every time I start the vehicle?

Leaving at 4am in a housing project with only outdoor parking, I don't want to annoy my neighbours each morning when I start my vehicle.

Thanks.

Hi Sean,

Stand alone remote start is not available with the EVO-ALL since the vehicle requires high current ignition/start/accessory. You need to add a high current remote starter to this install.

 

As for the remotes not working when the vehicle is running, that is not really an issue with the EVO-ALL since that's how a lot vehicles are built. Vehicles that the factory remote does not work when the car is started normally (with the key) will also not work when the car is remote started.

 

Also, if I currently press the lock button twice the horn honks. Can I bypass this on install (as I will need to push the lock button 3 times to start) or will my horn honk every time I start the vehicle?

Not really applicable on the 2011 Santa Fe with key, but, there is a new option for stand alone installs that you could program. It allows you to do Lock-Unlock-Lock instead of 3xLock.
