EVO and Fortin RF

Question

I did the DYI Splice for the RF ant, I just spliced into the hot and ground wire of the WHITE pin connected to the other black 4 pin connector. The Blue light on the antennae comes on for a milli sec then goes out. I am unable to program the remote. I saw other post mentioning Turn on the RF from the REMOTE start side, but when I switch over I get a looking for device connection. what am I doing wrong?

 

Instead of going through the entire Q&A...please read this . Here's what I had to do.

1. To get the RF ANT and the EVO to communicate, i had to do more than splice a power and ground into the antenna....I had to splice the Red and Blue wire into the antenna too. That way it will communicate. as soon as I did this I was able to get confirmation that the RF Remote was getting pprogrammed. BUT it still didnt work.

2. I decided to look into resetting the EVO to default and reprogram ands in less than 15 min I was up and running. All remotes work and I'm loving it.

 

I appreciate  Mathieu Bertrand Collin  and Jesus Monroy for taking the time to point me in the right direction. I hope this Helps.

Answer 1

When doing the remote programming procedure does the light in the antenna start to flash rapidly when you turn the ignition on ?

You need to release on RED AND BLUE. Release programming button then press and hold it again until the lights come back on, then release. Turn ignition ON and look at the light in the antenna it should start to flash rapidly.

Which RF kit do you have? if possible can you take a picture of the remotes and antenna (front and back) and send the pictures to support@ifar.ca

Good news....I called tech support. For some reason when i look at my EVO status it says H2 is on...Yet TECH said it shows off. I need to reconnect it and turn off then on again. As for the Truck turning off this is normal because I'm on the OEM remote. I get the RF to work then I'm good to go.

 

The RF in question is the FTX-64 2W. I'll update this when i get home tonight.

You had called tech support? I just re-checked your service number and H2 is enabled along with F2, which is ok,

If you do have a Flashlink-2 updater, I would reset the unit by following this procedure : http://wirecolor.com/en/qa/50193/faq-how-do-i-reset-my-evo-all?show=50193#q50193

Then check options again and set them as the guide requires.

Thats what i said and the TECH kept saying he saw it as off...yet could see the H2...but thats not possible...but I will do an entire reset and go from there...Thanks alot on this...I'll let you know later tonight what happens....
