Starts fine with car key.

From remote open-closed doors.

If disconnecting and reconnecting the EVO does not work I would suggest taking it back to original place that installed it as it may need to be reprogrammed.

Not really a solution. Didn't worked. And I'm the second owner. Not idea where was installed.
Any local remote start / audio installation shop will be able to take a look at it.

The unit may simply need to be reprogrammed. It's possible the keys were reprogrammed thus needing the remote starter to be reprogrammed as well, or it it could be due to the initial installation having loose connections.
