Fortin module for BCM wakeup in 2012 RAM?

Question

Customer wanted a keypad keyless entry system on his 12 RAM to mimic the one on his previous Ford truck. Installed one, but after the vehicle sits for 20-30 mins. it won't unlock until waking up the BCM with the factory remote. (lock/unlock wires are routed directly into pass. door switch) which of course is a problem since the idea is leaving your keys in the vehicle.

 

Anyway, suggestions? I was thinking maybe I could somehow wire in one of your modules to send a wakeup pulse to the BCM before keyless? Is this a plausible idea, or no?

Answer 1

you can use the EVO-ALL to do only can-bus convenience features such as those door locks.

I get that, but how do I make an Accel keypad work with an EVO-ALL?

 

That's my dilema, as the customer wants the keypad on his door.

Does the Accel system have analog outputs for lock and unlock (i'll assume so)? The EVO has lock and unlock analog inputs. For connections of the EVO-ALL, just follow the stand alone guide. All it needs is ignition, 12v, ground, can-hi and can-lo.

NOTE... pulsing the door trigger can sometimes also wake up the BCM. Instead of using a data module, you could try that too.
