2012 Kia Optima Push-to-Start

Question

I have the evo-all with latest firmware and in D2D mode to an Avital 4003L. I would like to use the OEM FOB to remote start the vehicle.

Can I just turn on option 14 for OEM remote monitoring and not have to use the activation input wire on the remote start system?  Or do I need to have that activation input wire on the remote start hooked up to something like the door lock wire?

Answer 1

Turn on OEM remote monitoring. Make sure option f3 is also on; this sets the EVO to D2D. You should also be using the latest firmware for your vehicle.

You can also use the activation input on the avital instead.
