MPC 1-Button 1-Way Remotes with Antenna Upgrade Kit

Product Overview

The MPC 1-Button 1-Way Remotes with Antenna Upgrade Kit (Model B-5032) is an add-on remote control system designed to enhance the functionality and range of existing Fortin EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE "stand-alone" remote start systems. This kit provides extended range and dedicated remote control access for your vehicle's remote start features.

Setup and Installation

The installation of this remote and antenna upgrade kit is designed to be straightforward, primarily involving plug-in connections to an existing Fortin EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE module. No complex wiring connections are typically required, making it accessible for individuals with basic knowledge of car electronics.

Important Note: If your EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE module was not purchased directly from MPC, a FlashLink Updater may be necessary to ensure compatibility and proper functionality with this kit. EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE standalone systems purchased from MPC are pre-configured with the correct settings, eliminating the need for an updater.

For detailed installation steps, please refer to the specific instructions provided with your Fortin EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE module, as this kit integrates directly with those systems.

Operating Instructions

Once installed and properly configured, the 1-button remotes allow for convenient control of your vehicle's remote start system.

• Remote Start/Stop: Press the dedicated button on the remote to initiate or stop your vehicle's engine. The system is designed to operate from a range of up to 1,500 feet, depending on environmental factors and vehicle obstructions.
• Lock/Unlock: Depending on your vehicle's specific configuration and the data module coverage of your Fortin system, the 1-button remote may also support vehicle locking and unlocking functions. Consult your Fortin EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE manual for details on these capabilities.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MPC remote controls and antenna kit, follow these general maintenance guidelines:

• Keep the remote controls clean and dry. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture, extreme temperatures, or direct sunlight.
• Do not attempt to open or modify the remote controls or antenna module, as this may void any potential warranty and could damage the components.
• Replace batteries in the remote controls as needed. Refer to the Fortin EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE manual for battery type and replacement procedures, as these remotes integrate with that system.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your MPC remote and antenna upgrade kit, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Remote Not Responding:
  • Check the battery in the remote control. A weak or dead battery is a common cause of unresponsiveness.
  • Ensure you are within the specified operating range (up to 1,500 ft). Obstacles like buildings or other vehicles can reduce effective range.
  • Verify that the antenna module is securely connected to your Fortin EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE system.
• Installation Difficulties: Some users have reported initial setup challenges. Double-check all connections and ensure the Fortin module is correctly configured. If your EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE was not purchased from MPC, confirm if a FlashLink Updater is required and has been used.
• Vehicle Not Starting/Error Codes: If your vehicle experiences issues or displays error codes after installation, ensure all connections are correct and that the Fortin module is properly integrated. Disconnecting and reconnecting the unit, then following the original Fortin instructions, has resolved issues for some users.
• Remote Durability: While designed for regular use, prolonged wear and tear can affect the remote's casing. Handle remotes with care to maximize their lifespan.
