Commented: Fortin FSS Dual Stage Shock Sensor

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 12:11:36 +0000

If the vehicle is automatic transmission and the evo-all is installed in stand alone then yes you could add a shock sensor.

Using the flash link updater you would need to enable option G-evo-alarm in the evo options and then the shock sensor input on the evo-all module is the purple/white wire on the 20 pin connector.

Please note if the module has a manufacture date over 5 years enableing option G will not be possible.

Answered: Stability and TPMS Fault

Mon, 10 Aug 2026 13:52:58 +0000

Hi Robert Martins,

Yes weak or bad can bus connections can cause faults in vehicles.

If any type of quick connector was used to make the connection remove it and use the poke and twist method to connect the wire, additionally if it was soldered this can add resistance to the can bus and also cause a fault.

Remove the can bus connections and ensure there are no more faults, then re connect the can wires.

Also ensure all connectors were properly seated and clipped into their socket.

Wouldn't hurt to inspect the pins of the connectors also to ensure that a pin was not bent or pushed.

Yes the evo-one or evo-one-lte and a flash link updater would work for remote start from the OEM remote or through the es lte app if you go with evo-one-lte.

Sounds like you missing power and ground if the unit does not light up.

https://cdn02.fortin.ca/download/102151/EVO-ONE_IG_EVO-START_QUICK-GUIDE_F_102151.pdf

If a t-harness was used with the evo-all you should be plugging in the black 4 pin connector with a clip into the rfa2a. Then plug in the evo-start-lte to the blue connector on the rfa2a, then plug the rfa2a into the evo-all module.

Looking at the supported features for this vehicle, window up and down is not supported. While it is in the app does not mean it will work. You can turn off the aux features under settings>terminal settings>function settings and simply toggle off the aux features.

Looking at supported features you do have heated seats and rear defrost on Aux1, so that one you would want to keep on. https://cdn02.fortin.ca/download/92951/EVO-ALL_IG_TSA_BI_AUD2-A4-A5-A5-S5-Q5-Q7-SQ5-SQ8-RS4-RS5-S4-S5_2017-2021_PTS_A_92951.pdf

Hello,

1- Yes that is correct first program the evo-all to the vehicle, once all that is done you pair the evo start lte to the evo-all.

2- If im not mistaken on the aud2 harness there is a built in blue connector, this is what the evo start lte will plug directly into, no rfa2a needed in this case.

Answered: Should my Fortin Evo one be able to run car without key in vehicle?

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 09:52:10 +0000

Hello,

Depending on the vehicle. Some vehicles take over sequence is simply unlock, once you unlock the car the vehicle does not look for the key and allows you to take over and drive away.

You can prevent this by turning on option D3 - door open shut down, this will cause you to re start the vehicle ensuring you have the key on you because other wise it will not re start.

Hello,

Yes Fortin has been speaking directly with autoextra regarding the vehicle.

At this time it appears the vehicle is not the same as the one we have in Canada, SQ7 was not released here until 2020. This can happen when trying solutions developed on NA market vehicles in other markets. After all the testing that has been done with Autoextra at this time it is being reviewd as there is no immediate solution to the issue. A report has been submitted to egineering.

Step 11 key programing

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 08:06:20 +0000

2016 audi a3 push to start evo all serial number: 001A07 016953

I flashed the correct software on to unit with the flashlink. I get to step 11 of key bypass-program with r-link, and it says to wait up to 5 mins with solid red light. Then it's supposed to flash yellow, and the flah yellow and red, but the red light just stays lit and never goes past that point. I've tried reseting evo reprogramming to a different firmware, then back to the recommended firmware, but I can never get past that point and have waited up to 15mins. What should I do at this point?

How can I find out what info should appear on my app and what the different icons do?

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 18:35:24 +0000

I finally got my Evo one and Evo start setup but had a couple of questions. Above the lock/unlock and start buttons are a row of icons that I don't know exactly what they do. Also my fuel shows 0% and my milage shows 0.7m. Any ideas?

Thanks.
