TIP SHEET (EVO-FORT1) 80-bit Add-On Stand-Alone Remote Starter T2380 *AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES ONLY* PREPPING HARNESS VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=favdjn2gsxs INSTALL VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bp7ncnggya -The EVO-ALL interface module eliminates the need for a separate remote start module by using the vehicle computer to start. It will monitor the vehicle lock circuit and use the pulses generated by pressing lock 3 times on your OEM remote to start the vehicle. -There are a LOT of wires in your kit, you will use very few of them. There will only be 3 connections to make between the EVO-ALL and the FORT1 T harness. There will only be 2 required connections made to your vehicle wiring. -Parking light connection is an additional option. This will require a standard SPDT relay which is not included with your kit. Refer to module guide for parking light wiring info. Supply power for relay must connect directly to battery. STEP 1: Starting the installation -The bulk of the installation takes place right under the dash on the driver s side. Begin by removing the steering column shroud. It should be held on by 3 screws as located in the picture below. Be careful not to break the panel especially in cold weather. 1 P a g e

EVO ALL Connections Locate the needed wires in the plugs of the vehicle as shown in the diagram, and connect the corresponding wires from the EVO-ALL to their respective locations. Cross reference the pin locations in each plug, and wire colors to verify you are on the right wires in the vehicle. There are 3 connections to make. Match the wires from the T harness up with the 20 pin harness colors as listed below. 1. Connect the light blue/black wire in the 20-pin plug of the Evo-all to the light blue/black of the FORT1 T harness. 2. Connect the light blue wire in the 20-pin plug of the Evo-all to the light blue wire of the FORT1 T harness. 3. Connect the yellow wire in the 20-pin plug of the Evo-all to the yellow/black wire of the FORT1 T harness. 4. The yellow wire of the FORT1 T harness is not used, cap the wire off to avoid shorting. 2 Required CAN Wire Connections Locate the needed wires in the plugs of the vehicle as shown in the following diagram, and connect the corresponding wires from the EVO-ALL to their respective locations. Cross reference the pin locations in each plug, and wire colors to verify you are on the right wires in the vehicle. Route the loomed Gray and Gray/ Black wire down to the OBDII plug located above the brake pedal. You may want to remove the 2 screws that mount the OBDII plug to better access the wires behind. 1. The gray wire in the 5-pin plug of the EVO-ALL will connect to the gray/orange wire in pin-3 of the OBDII plug of the vehicle, located under dash on driver side. This is CAN HI. 2. The gray/black wire in the 5-pin plug of the EVO-ALL will connect to the violet/orange wire in pin-11 of the OBDII plug of the vehicle, located under dash on driver side. This is CAN LOW. 4 P a g e
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. Do NOT use any kind of wire connectors such as t taps or scotch locks for the data connections in your vehicle; this must be a wire touching wire connection. Here are two 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. 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 Optional Connections 1. Door Pin This connection is required to arm the factory alarm when the doors are locked and RAP control. Locate the BCM. Located at the drivers kick panel. You will see a 26 pin plug. Pin 9 is the Door pin wire. It will be a Green/ Violet wire. Cut the Green/ Violet driver door pin wire near the BCM plug in the vehicle, this will give you 2 leads to work with, a plug side and a vehicle side. The green/red wire from the pre-wired harness of the EVO-ALL will connect to the plug side, and the green/white wire from the pre-wired harness will connect to the vehicle side. 5 P a g e
2. Hood Pin - Most vehicles come with a factory equipped hood pin switch. If yours does not come with one you can wire in the aftermarket switch we supplied to the EVO ALL. You will need to mount the pin switch into metal. Then route the wire to the EVO ALL and connect to the Dark Blue wire on the 20 pin harness. You will need to open the loom up to access this wire. 3. 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. 6 P a g e
Mount the valet switch in the vehicle (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.) 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 from the valet switch to ground. 4. Parking Lights Many newer vehicles turn on lights automatically when the vehicle is running, so connecting the parking lights via the remote start has no benefit. If your vehicle does not have this feature and you wish to have the remote start turn on your parking lights, make the following connection: Connect the brown/white negative (-) parking light wire (pin A14) from the EVO-ALL 20 pin connector to a relay (not included) and the relay will connect to the vehicles positive (+) yellow/blue or purple white parking light wire located @ pin-6, in the 10-pin gray plug of your BCM.

See Installer s Tip #2 later in this tip sheet STEP 3: Program the EVO-ALL Programming for the EVO-ALL in vehicles listed, will accomplish 2 things: CAN data for body controls and transponder bypass programming. You will need 2 separately coded keys, copy or clone keys will not work. You must have 2 keys that will allow an additional key to be programed to the vehicle, as the EVO-ALL will be programed into the vehicle using the Ford additional key learning procedure. Do not have more than 1 key close to the key cylinder at the same time at any point in this process. You must respect the time limitations as described. Begin by having all plugs unplugged from the EVO- ALL and preform the following programming steps: 7 P a g e
STEP 4: Finish up! -Test all functions. The remote start will engage when you press the lock button on your OEM key fob 3 times in a row. 8 P a g e
-After confirming that everything works properly, cap off or tape the ends of any wires you re not using to avoid shorting. -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.
