3 x lock press on OEM FOB no activity on EVO-VWT1 or Engine start

I just installed (Fortin EVO-RS Audi / VW Plug & Play Remote Starter × 1) EVO-VWT1 according to guide# 32421. Went through all the steps as outlined in the guide. Now when I press lock 3 x on OEM key car lock gets activated multiple times but the car does not start and no LED's blink on the module ether, as if it is not registering any signal from the OEM key. During the setup I used Flash Link Updater chose recommended options, then programmed the module from uploaded DCryptor.

no change

Re flash the module and re program the unit start to finish including dcryptor.

If blue is not flashing when you press lock it is not properly programmed at this time.

To re flash, do I need to re-initialize the module in any way or just start at step #1 of the guide?

commented Nov 23, 2020 by Raf (130 points)

plug it in, click view other firmwares and re flash the unit. Then proceed with in vehicle programming.

commented Nov 23, 2020 by derek g (342,790 points)

I went through the flash again and made the selections below:

Standalone Remote Starter Only

3X LOCK Remote Start

No RF Kit

THAR-VW1

The summary Installation method shows:

Key Programming 1

Key Sacrificed 1

Takeover Yes

DCryptor No

This doesn't look correct

commented Nov 23, 2020 by Raf (130 points)

it is not correct.

perhaps try exiting wizard mode and do it in pro mode to set it up properly.

commented Nov 23, 2020 by derek g (342,790 points)

These are my enabled settings, can you check quickly if this looks ok?

A1,A3-A10

C1

D1.6,D1.10,D2,D5,D6

Should all Datalink protocols be disabled? F1-F3

commented Nov 23, 2020 by Raf (130 points)

It should be set as follows:

A1 through A11 on

C1 and D1 & D1.5 & D1.10 on

D2 on

D6 on

Everything else off.

Make sure you re flash the firmware before trying to re program it in the vehicle.

commented Nov 23, 2020 by derek g (342,790 points)

it says that recommeded firmware is loaded (64.06) can i update it to 75.41?

commented Nov 23, 2020 by Raf (130 points)

no, click view other firmwares and re select 64.06 and flash it into the unit.

Is the Warning - QR code module required, something to worry about?

commented Nov 23, 2020 by Raf (130 points)

No, your module is fine.

commented Nov 23, 2020 by derek g (342,790 points)

So I reprogrammed the module as you indicated now when I press lock 3x the following LED sequence happens:

Blue LED blink x 3 (when pressing)

on 3rd blick red LED comes on and blue blinks rapidly x2

red LED goes out and red and orage turn on

then both turn off

red comes on and blue blinks twice

No lights on the dash come on

commented Nov 25, 2020 by Raf (130 points)

At this point I would suggest calling support when you are at the vehicle with access to the module and a flash link updater

1-877-336-7797.
