Wiring/Programming EVO-ONE w/ DSM300 SmartStart (2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek PTS)

Question

Installed a EVO-ONE into my 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek w/ Push-to-Start.  I have no issues with the remote starter, bypass, locks, etc.  Everything works great with a Fortin 2-way RF kit - which I am still temporarily using until I figure out how to get my DSM300 Smartstart to work.  I didn't find the Smartstart guide particularly useful in regards to wiring it up to the EVO-ONE for my application.  I had programmed the remote start to XL202 and grounded the gray D2D mode cable as per the Fortin guide.  Can someone clarify if I am to use the white D2D connector that is included with the Smartstart's multi-connector harness and does it plug into the larger antenna port?  Or do I need to make up a cable to go to the black Fortin Data-Link/Flashlink Port?  Do I assume that I will have to power the Smartstart separately using its own 2-wire harness w/ 3-Amp fuse since the EVO-ONE isn't providing 12-Volts from the data ports?  If so, do I remove the 12V power on my connection back to the EVO-ONE?  I tried powering them separately and just leaving the data wires + ground, but I could not pair the Smartstart to the EVO-ONE;  I sent a lock command which the Smartstart app said was successful during the pairing process as per the instructions I found, but I couldn't get the EVO-ONE to acknowledge the signal to pair the Smartstart.  I hope someone can steer me in the right direction.  Thanks

Answer 1

You need to make a connector (normally you'll have that cable with an evo-all)

It will go from the smart start to the small blue port on the evo-one.

Derek,

I probably have a spare connector that will fit somewhere.  At least I have something to work with unlike that horrible guide that caters mostly to the EVO-ALL.  I appreciate you steering me in the right direction.  Thanks.
