Programming Procedures

The EVO-ALL module requires programming using the R-LINK tool or the FLASH LINK UPDATER/MOBILE tool. The procedure involves connecting the tool, following specific LED indications, and turning the ignition key.

Key Programming Steps:

1. Before programming, set the unit options and save them using the appropriate tool.
2. Connect the R-LINK tool instead of the TB-VW module.
3. Close and open the driver's door.
4. Press and hold the programming button. Connect the 4-PIN Data-link harness. Observe LED indications (Blue, Red, Yellow).
5. Release the programming button when the Blue LED is solid. If not, disconnect and restart.
6. Connect the remaining harnesses.
7. Turn the key to the Ignition ON/RUN position.
8. Follow the specific sequence of button presses and LED confirmations as detailed in the guide for key bypass programming.
9. After programming is completed, disconnect all connectors except the Data-Link (4-pins) connector.
10. Reconnect all connectors, including the TB-VW, after the DCryptor programming is complete.

Note: If programming is interrupted, the vehicle may not start normally. Disconnect and reconnect the vehicle battery to resolve this.

Remote Starter Functionality

To use the remote starter:

1. Ensure all doors are closed.
2. Remote start the vehicle using the OEM remote or the Fortin remote starter remote by pressing the Lock, Unlock, Lock sequence.
3. Insert and turn the key to the Ignition ON/RUN position.
4. Press the brake pedal.
