As noted in the original post; "truck cranks over with out regard for the glow sequence as observed outside the window in -20°C weather" Tech support has advised to change firmware to 0.36, Will try again tonight and observe out side the window a cold start sequence. Firmware version 0.36 acknowledged the can bus output regarding the wait to heat issue being bypassed as observed outside the cold truck through the window, looking at the dash display waiting for the countdown timer to complete at 0.

Same issue with my evo all. no wait just start after 10 sec and its -10C here. So going to try firmware downgrade as well.
downgraaded to 74.29 which is the recommended ver. and because there is no 0.36 ver. Still have the same issue will not wait to start! EVO ALL HAS A FIRMWARE BUG FOLKS, the EVO ONE seem to be ok on other trucks in diesel mode
