TIP SHEET Installation instructions for EVO-NIST1 + LC1 T3108 NISSAN INFINITY CUBE 2009-2014 M37 2010-2013 JUKE 2011-2016 M56 2011-2013 QUEST 2011-2016 Q70 2014-2015 SENTRA 2013-2016 Q70L 2015 VERSA SEDAN 2012-2015 QX56 2011-2013 VERSA NOTE 2014-2015 QX80 2014-2015 *For push-to-start vehicles equipped with NO keyport ONLY* *For automatic transmission vehicles ONLY* -The EVO-ALL interface module uses the vehicle s computer data stream for communication, eliminating most of the wiring traditionally associated with a remote start install. The EVO-NIST1 includes a T harness that is made to provide easy plug in connections for the majority of the installation. There are a LOT of wires in your kit, you will use very few of them. There will only be 3 connections required to be made to your vehicle, plus there is also an OPTIONAL connection for a valet switch (included with your kit), and/or hood pin (for vehicles not equipped from the factory with a hood pin). STEP 1: Flash the EVO-ALL module The EVO-ALL module will need to be flashed with the compatible firmware for your vehicle in order to perform its functions. Your kit includes the flash link updater. This will be used to accomplish both the flashing of your module as well as the DCRYPTOR step (required for transponder programming) done in the final module programming once all you connections have been made. For flashing your EVO-ALL, first you will need to open www.fortinbypass.com with your internet browser. At the bottom of the page, click Flash-Link Manager and complete the software installation on your computer. Then, plug the flash link updater into your computers USB port, and plug the 4-pin data link connector from the flash link updater into the EVO-ALL module. The software will automatically detect the Module and bring up a screen that allows you to enter your vehicle info. Once your vehicle info has been entered, click the updates tab at the top of the screen, select the latest recommended firmware version (usually shown in red), then click flash to load the firmware. Once the firmware has been loaded, unplug the EVO-ALL from the flash link updater, and then plug it back in. Now you will be able to select available option by clicking on the options tab at the top. You will need to turn on option D1 OEM remote stand-alone remote starter, option C1 will turn automatically with D1, this is OK. You will have the ability to select a run time from the sub-options menu of D1, if no run time is set, the default is infinite run time. If you have a hybrid vehicle, you will also need to turn on option D4 hybrid mode. Other options are available within this tabs menu, which will allow you to customize the functionality of the system to meet your needs. It is VERY important to remember to click the green save options button either at the top or bottom of the options menu list. To verify that the module accepted the flash and option settings, unplug the EVO-ALL module from the flash link updater and plug it back in, all of the previously selected settings should still be set. Once you are sure the module is flashed accordingly, proceed to the installation of the module in your vehicle. 1 P a g e
STEP 2: Starting the installation Need to know where all the components go? See Installer s Tip #1 later in this tip sheet Need to know how to make the wiring connections? See Installer s Tip #2 later in this tip sheet -The bulk of the installation takes place right under the dash on the driver s side. Begin by removing the plastic panel at the bottom of the dash, above where the pedals are for easy access. The panel is held in with both bolts and clips. Be careful not to break the panel especially in cold weather. 2 P a g e
STEP 3: Make the connections Locate the needed plugs of the vehicle as shown in the following diagram, and connect the corresponding THAR-NIS1 ( T harness) connectors to their respective locations. Do not turn your ignition power on while these plugs are disconnected. Note that there are going to be 2 unused plugs (female 12-pin, and male 12-pin) from the T harness as shown in the following diagram. 3 P a g e
There are two black 4-pin data link plugs from the T harness. The plug without the locking tab on it will connect to the EVO-ALL. The 20-pin connector, and the 5-pin connector from the T harness go to the EVO-ALL. The red 6-pin (RL1) connector from the T harness will be connected to the EVO-ALL. The red 6- pin (RL2) connector will not be used. Make the 4 connections required for your install: 1. Cross-reference the vehicle wire color chart and the plug diagram on the next page to locate pin-47 in the 15-pin plug at the BCM. Test the functionality of the circuit with a multi-meter for verification, this is where you will connect the Pink/Black (-) door pin wire in pin-a15 of the 20- pin plug of the EVO-ALL. The purpose of this connection is to simulate the door being opened after the vehicle has been shut down, so that the vehicle (RAP) retained accessory power circuit for auto lights turns off with the remote starter instead of waiting for a delay which could drain your battery. 2. Cross-reference the vehicle wire color chart and the plug diagram on the next page to locate the needed wire in the connector found attached to the back side of the vehicle push to start button. Test functionality of the circuit with a meter as described in the diagram on the next page for verification. This is where you will connect the White/Black (-) PUSH-TO-START wire in pin-a19 of the 20-pin plug of the EVO-ALL. The purpose of this connection is to simulate the vehicle push to start button being pressed, allowing the vehicle to be remote started and stopped. 3. Cross-reference the vehicle wire color chart on page 1 and the plug diagram on the next page to locate the needed pin and wire color for unlock in the 40-pin plug at the BCM. Test the functionality of the circuit with a multi-meter for verification, this is where you will connect the Green (-) unlock wire in pin-a4 of the 20-pin plug of the EVO-ALL. The purpose of this connection is to unlock your door with the aftermarket DS1 remotes before entering the vehicle when it is running from a remote start. Otherwise the vehicle will shut down when any door is opened. Optional Wiring Connections: 1. Valet Switch Your remote start kit includes a valet switch. While it is not essential to the operation of the remote start, it is a safety device that prevents the starter from accidentally engaging when not desired. Mount the valet switch in the vehicle (see installers tips later in this tip sheet). Connect one wire from the valet switch to the dark blue wire (pin A8) from the EVO-ALL 20-pin connector > and connect the second wire ground. 2. Hood Pin Switch If your vehicle comes with an OEM factory hood pin, the EVO-ALL will automatically monitor it saving you from the need of making any connection. Some base model vehicles may not have come with a factory hood pin. The purpose of the hood pin is to provide the important safety feature of disabling the remote starter from activating while the hood is open. If you are not sure if your vehicle comes equipped with a hood pin, our advice is to not install the hood pin and make the wire connection until you have completed the rest of the install and have tested the system. If your vehicle starts with its hood open, Install the hood pin and make the connection. The following diagram illustrates all of your needed connections. As always, it is the responsibility of the installer to verify all vehicle wiring using the vehicle wiring chart and a multi-meter prior to making any connections: 4 P a g e

STEP 4: Programming 6 P a g e
STEP 5: Test the system and finish up! Once programming is complete, you should test the system before putting everything back together: Press the start (key) button on your remote 2 times in a row (default) to start the vehicle. 1. The parking lights flash once, return solid, and the ignition/accessory circuits turn on. 2. After a few seconds the starter motor engages. The parking lights and accessories will turn off while cranking. 3. Engine starts and runs. Parking lights and accessory circuits turn back on. 4. Engine will remain running for the programmed run time or until the brake pedal is pressed. If needed, the engine can be turned off with remote by pressing the start (key) button again. 5. If your test was unsuccessful, go back and re-check your wiring and programming. Once you ve completed testing the system, it s time to close it up. -After confirming that everything works properly, cap off or tape the ends of any wires you re not using to avoid grounding or other contact. Now gather up all the wiring and neatly bundle it together using zip ties or electrical tape to prevent the wires from interfering with any of the moving parts under the dash. Find a secure place to put the remote start module and use zip ties to secure it. Replace any interior vehicle panels that were removed to gain access to the needed wires, in reverse order that they were removed. 7 P a g e
Installer s Tips: Tip #1 Where Everything Goes 1. Module the wiring for the module is done under the dash on the driver s side, so you ll want to install the module in that general area. Before you start wiring, look for a location where there s some open space that will fit the module. Pay attention to moving parts like the pedals, e-brake and steering column. Be sure to route your wiring away from those areas. 2. LC1 remote starter (controller) mounts with module. 3. Valet Switch (optional) requires a small screw hole. Usually put in the driver s kick panel (that s the area forward of the door), the driver s side of the center console, or the underside of the dash. 4. LED (optional) requires a small screw hole. Usually mounted on the dash in a clearly visible location. Tip #2 How to make your wiring connections It s very important that all your wiring connections be solid and secure. All remote start connections are tap on connections. This means that you do not need to cut the wires in the car. You simply need to tap on to the wires in the car to make your connections. Here are three different ways to do this: Method 1 Solder and tape This is the method preferred by the best professional installers. It makes for the most reliable connections, but it is also the most difficult to do. Sometimes there isn t enough room in the wiring harness to safely solder a wire without damaging adjacent wires, but if you have the soldering skills, go for it. To make a connection, strip back a section of the insulation on the wire in the car. On heavy gauge wires, 1 is about the right amount. On lighter gauge wires, ½ is fine. Strip 1 of insulation off the end of the remote start wire. Tin the bare section of wire in the car. Wrap the remote start wire around the tinned section and then carefully solder it in place. Wrap the splice tightly with electrical tape. 8 P a g e
Method 2 Wrap and tape This is the most popular method and is also very reliable. Strip back a section of the insulation on the wire in the car. On heavy gauge wires, 1 is about the right amount. On lighter gauge wires, ½ is fine. Strip 1 of insulation off the end of the remote start wire. Separate the strands of the wire like this: Pass the wire from the remote through the opening as shown below Wrap the remote start wire around both sides of the car wire, then back around itself as shown below Use electrical tape to wrap the connection and secure the wires together. A wire tie will help prevent the tape from unraveling in the future. Method #3 T-Taps T-taps are plastic clips that are squeezed onto the wires in the car. The wire from the remote start goes into the tap and the whole thing is crimped together. T-taps come in different sizes for different size wires. Use yellow t-taps for the larger wires in your main power harness. Red t-taps are good for the smaller wires. Tape and wire tie the connections as shown in the wrap and tape section above that will prevent the t-taps from ever opening up. Using T-Taps Use a pair of pliers to attach the quick-connects to the wires in your car. Hold the quick connect as shown below in Figure 1, then clamp it on to the wire as shown in Figure 2. There is a locking tab at the front of the connector (Figure 3) make sure it is secure and locked in place when you are done. Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Copyright 2016 Digitel LLC 9 P a g e
