Factory alarm isn't disabling when using RF Extender

0 votes
I've had the EVO-ALL and T-Harness installed in my 2008 Jeep Wrangler (Standard key) for a few years now and it has worked without issues.

It works with the factory remote (3 lock to start, 3 lock to stop). It is setup to unlock/lock/relock when remote starting, and handles the factory alarm the like it is supposed to.

I have added a Axxess AX-RF2 2 to the EVO-ALL and setup all of the RF options using my Flash Link.  I am using the 4 Pin D2d Data Cable Y Splitter.   Connected wires are the Yellow, and brown/white running lights.

When I use the RF remote, it will lock, unlock, start and stop, but it will not shut off the factory alarm.  So it will trip the alarm every time.

I've been through just about every option in Flash Link and and can't get it to disable the alarm with the RF.

Even with the RF, the factory remote continues to work without issues.

Try simply reprogramming the module and pay attention to the last step. This is where the module learns which door lock commands to use. Sounds like it was never properly programmed. It would still remote start without issue but door lock control would not work correctly.

 

Heres the guide, https://cdn.fortin.ca/download/28831/evo-all_evochrt5_p20160902.pdf

Last step you need to press the LOCK button on the oem remote and NOT the evo button.

Okay, I've done everything and swear I did that before many times.   

But for some reason it worked now.  Go figure.

 

Thanks!

When does the alarm go off? Only when unlocking using the RF kit?

 

Also turn off option B2.

If I unlock the doors, the alarm goes off when I open the doors.  doors unlock, alarm is not disabled.

If I remote start it, I can watch it and the alarm is not disabled by lock/unlock/remote start/lock.  So it trips the alarm.
Turned B2 off, no change.

The RF Remote does nothing to the factory blinking alarm on the dash, even though everything on the remote works.  I can lock, unlock and remote start.

The factory remote still works the same, and it will start and stop on 3 lock presses.
Send a negative pulse to the purple/white wire, does the factory alarm disarm ?
