3x times OEM remote start not working - FJ Cruiser

0 votes

2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser

I have the Evo-One with TOY1 T-Harness and Flash Link Updater.  I am unable to get remote start to work.  I have triple checked all of the connections.  The unit does program correctly.  I have enabled option 38.2 for pressing 3x Lock to remote start.  I have turned ON option C1 for OEM remote monitoring.  And I get no response from anything when pressing the Lock 3 times on the remote.  Yellow loop has been cut.

Suggestions?!

You need an rf kit: http://fortin.ca/en/technology/rf_kits.html

Intersting... So I spent $300 for it to do absolutely nothing?  Good to know!

Wonder why they told me it would work when I initially called before buying anything?  Why is it advertised all over their site, the box, and the documentation for the Evo-One that it does 3x lock remote start?  Why did I spend $300 for this worthless POS?  I could have bought a whole other system for less than half this price if I wanted to use an addition keyfob/remote.  crying

Horrible system and waaaaay overpriced for it to do absolutely nothing.

 

- Terribly dissatisfied customer that will be returning it all.

Yes 3x lock is advertised all over the website but as you saw when you look up your specific vehicle is not a listed feature.

I understand your frustration due to mis information, returning it is probably your best bet at this point.

 

Question for you out of curiosity was it bought on amazon or ebay?

All 3xlock start compatible vehicles are listed on the website.

RF-KIT Required is directly on the vehicle page for that car.
