Programming Procedures

The EVO-ALL module requires programming for various functions, including bypass options, key bypass, and RF kit configurations.

DCRYPTOR Programming Procedure:

1. Preparation: Ensure all required parts (Flash Link Updater/Manager, Flash Link Mobile App, Computer/Smartphone) are available. Set unit options and save before proceeding.
2. Step 1: Press and hold the programming button. Insert the 4-Pin (Data-Link) connector. Observe LEDs: Blue, Red, Yellow, and Blue & Red will illuminate alternatively.
3. Step 2: Release the programming button when the LED is solid BLUE. If the LED is not solid BLUE, disconnect the 4-Pin connector and return to Step 1.
4. Step 3: Insert the remaining required connectors.
5. Step 4: Do not press the brake pedal. Press the START/STOP button twice to turn ON the ignition.
6. Step 5: Press and release the programming button once (1x). The BLUE LED will turn off. The BLUE LED will then flash rapidly.
7. Step 6 (Key Bypass): Press the START/STOP button once to turn OFF the ignition. The BLUE LED will turn off. The RED and YELLOW LEDs will alternate.
8. Step 7: Disconnect all connectors, including the Data-Link (4-pins) connector.
9. Step 8: Use the Flash Link Updater or Flash Link Mobile tool to access the DCryptor menu.
10. Step 9 (Completion): After DCryptor programming is complete, return to the vehicle and reconnect the 4-Pin (Data-Link) connector, followed by all other remaining connectors.

Optional RF-Kit Programming (Series 4 or Series 9):

Program Bypass Option: Set bypass option to H2. This enables Supported RF-KITS (H2 Fortin 2) and supports RF Kits (H2 Fortin 2).

Programming Steps:

1. Ensure the module is programmed on the vehicle. Verify the ignition key has been in the OFF position for at least 5 seconds.
2. Step 1: Press the START/STOP button twice to turn on the ignition. The LED will turn ON solid.
3. Step 2: Press the START/STOP button once to turn off the ignition. The LED will turn OFF.
4. Step 3: Press the START/STOP button twice to turn on the ignition. The LED will turn ON solid.
5. Step 4: Press and release the brake pedal four times. The LED will turn off after each press.
6. Step 5: On each transmitter, press and release the 4 buttons. The LED will flash rapidly. (Follow specific instructions for pressing and holding for approximately 12 seconds until the Blue LED turns off then back on solid, then release).
7. Step 6: Press the START/STOP button once to turn off the ignition. The LED will turn Off.
