Key Fob Preparation

Step 1: Battery Removal: Remove the battery from the vehicle's key fob.

Step 2: Transponder Antenna Integration:

• Option A (Recommended): Use the ARE-1R0 transponder antenna. Peel the adhesive backing from the antenna ring and stick it onto the back of the key fob.
• Option B (Alternative): Wrap a 22-gauge wire around the back of the key fob 5 to 10 times.

Wiring Connections Overview

The installation involves connecting the EVO-ALL module to specific points in the vehicle's electrical system. Key locations and connectors are:

• Gateway Module: Located in the driver's side dashboard.
• BCM (Body Control Module): Located beneath the glovebox.
• Vehicle Connectors: X2 (Pink), X4 (Gray), X5 (Green), X6 (Brown), X8 (Dark Gray).

Key Connections Include:

• Power: (+) 12V Battery (B3/B4), Ground (B2/B3).
• Ignition: (+) Ignition (Yellow wire).
• Data Links: CAN LOW (Orange wire), CAN HIGH (Gray wire).
• Vehicle Functions: Connections for Lock, Unlock, Door Status, Trunk Status, Parking Lights, Brake status, Hood status, Tachometer, Foot Brake, and Hand Brake are made via specific module pins (e.g., A2 for Lock, A3 for Unlock, A11 for Foot Brake, A15 for Hood).
