3.3. Wiring and Connections

Connect the THAR-ONE-TOY1 harness to the EVO-ONE module and then to the designated ports in your vehicle. Refer to the specific vehicle wiring diagram provided by Fortin for your exact make, model, and year. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.

3.4. Valet Switch and Hood Pin Installation

• Install the valet switch in an easily accessible but discreet location within the vehicle's cabin. This switch is used for programming and entering/exiting valet mode.
• Mount the hood pin switch under the hood, ensuring it properly detects when the hood is open or closed. This is a critical safety feature for remote start systems.

3.5. Module Programming

After all physical connections are made, the EVO-ONE module must be programmed to your specific vehicle. This typically involves a series of steps using the valet switch and the vehicle's ignition. Consult the detailed programming guide available on the Fortin website (www.fortinbypass.com) for precise instructions for your vehicle.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Remote Starting the Vehicle

The EVO-ONE-TOY1 system supports remote starting using your vehicle's OEM remote or an optional RF kit.

• Using OEM Remote: Typically, press the 'Lock' button three times (3x Lock) or 'Lock-Unlock-Lock' on your factory remote within a short period to initiate the remote start sequence. The vehicle's parking lights will flash, and the engine will start.
• Using RF Kit (Optional): If an aftermarket RF kit is installed, refer to its specific instructions for remote start operation.
• Smartphone App (Optional): If a compatible telematic device and smartphone app are configured, follow the app's instructions to remotely start, lock, or unlock your vehicle.

4.2. Entering the Vehicle After Remote Start

Once the vehicle is remotely started, unlock the doors using your remote. Enter the vehicle, insert the key into the ignition, turn it to the 'ON' (not 'START') position, and then press the brake pedal. This will transfer control from the remote start system to the ignition key, allowing you to drive.

4.3. Valet Mode

Valet mode disables the remote start and alarm features, allowing the vehicle to be serviced without activating these systems. To enter/exit valet mode, typically turn the ignition to the 'ON' position, then press and hold the valet switch for a few seconds until the system indicates entry/exit (e.g., LED flashes, parking lights flash).

5. Maintenance

The Fortin EVO-ONE-TOY1 system is designed for reliable operation with minimal maintenance. However, consider the following:

• Keep the EVO-ONE module and its connections dry and free from excessive dust or debris.
• Periodically check all wiring connections to ensure they remain secure.
• If you experience any issues, avoid attempting complex repairs yourself. Consult a professional installer or Fortin technical support.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Fortin EVO-ONE-TOY1 system, review the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Remote Start Not Engaging: Ensure the vehicle doors are closed, the hood is closed (hood pin switch activated), and the parking brake is engaged (if applicable for manual transmission). Check if the vehicle is in valet mode.
• No Response from Remote: Check the battery in your OEM remote or RF kit remote. Ensure the vehicle's battery is charged.
• System Malfunction: Try resetting the system by disconnecting the vehicle's battery for a few minutes, then reconnecting it. If issues persist, contact Fortin technical support or a professional installer.
