Wiring Description and Connections
This section details the connection points for the EVO-ALL module.
Ignition Harness Connections
The ignition harness connects to the vehicle's ignition system. Key connection points include:
- (+) 12V: Constant 12V power supply.
- (+) STARTER: Starter motor signal.
- (+) IGNITION: Ignition switch signal.
- (-) CAN1 LOW: CAN bus data line (Low).
- (-) CAN1 HIGH: CAN bus data line (High).
Ignition Barrel and Transponder Wire
The ignition barrel contains the transponder wire, which is part of the vehicle's immobilizer system. This wire is typically found within a black loom near the ignition barrel.
BCM (Body Control Module) Connections
Connections to the BCM are crucial for various vehicle functions:
- (+) FOOT BRAKE: Connection for the foot brake pedal switch.
- (-) HAZARD: Connection for hazard light activation.
- (-) CAN2 LOW: Second CAN bus data line (Low).
- (-) CAN2 HIGH: Second CAN bus data line (High).
OBD-II Connector
The OBD-II connector is used for diagnostic communication and may be used for certain module connections.
Automatic Transmission Wiring Diagram Overview
The wiring diagram illustrates the connections between the EVO-ALL module and the vehicle's electrical system for automatic transmission vehicles.
Key Connections Include:
- EVO-ALL Module: Connects to various vehicle points via specific harnesses.
- TB-VW Module: Required for immobilizer bypass (sold separately). Connects to the EVO-ALL module.
- 7.5 AMP Fuse: A fuse is required for the system.
- Ignition Harness: Connects to the vehicle's ignition switch. Wires include (+) 12V, (+) STARTER, (+) IGNITION, (-) CAN1 LOW, (-) CAN1 HIGH.
- BCM Connector: Connects to the Body Control Module. Wires include (+) FOOT BRAKE, (-) HAZARD, (-) CAN2 LOW, (-) CAN2 HIGH.
- OBD-II Connector: Standard vehicle diagnostic port.

DCRYPTOR Programming Procedure
Follow these steps to program the EVO-ALL module using the DCRYPTOR system:
Preparation
- Ensure all required parts (FLASH LINK UPDATER/MOBILE, computer/smartphone) are available.
- Before programming, set the unit options and save them.
Programming Steps:
- Step 1: Close and open the driver's door.
- Step 2: Press and hold the programming button. Connect the 4-PIN Data-link harness (black connector). The Blue, Red, Yellow, and Blue & Red LEDs will illuminate alternately. Release the programming button when the Blue LED is ON. If the Blue LED is not solid, disconnect the harness and return to Step 1.
- Step 3: Release the programming button when the Blue LED is ON.
- Step 4: Connect the required remaining harnesses.
- Step 5: Turn the vehicle key to the Ignition ON/RUN position. The Blue LED will flash rapidly.
- Step 6: Press and hold the programming button again. The Blue LED will turn OFF, and the Red LED will turn ON. Release the programming button.
- Step 7: Wait. Do not touch the vehicle or the module. The Blue, Red, and Yellow LEDs will rapidly alternate. Wait for the Red LED to turn ON. This process may take up to 15 minutes.
- Step 8: Wait for the Red and Yellow LEDs to slowly alternate. If the Red LED flashes slowly, programming has failed; return to Step 1 and restart the process.
- Step 9: Turn the vehicle key to the OFF position.
- Step 10: Disconnect all connectors, including the Data-Link (4-pins) connector.
- Step 11: Use the FLASH LINK UPDATER or FLASH LINK MOBILE tool with your computer or smartphone to visit the DCryptor menu.
- Step 12: After DCRYPTOR programming is completed, return to the vehicle and reconnect the 4-Pin (Data-Link) connector, followed by all other remaining connectors.
- Step 13: After plugging in the Data-Link connector and remaining harnesses, observe the LEDs. The RED and YELLOW LEDs should either stay OFF or turn ON, indicating the module is programmed.
- Step 14: Turn the key to the Ignition ON/RUN position. The Yellow LED will turn OFF, and the Red and Yellow LEDs will alternate.
- Step 15: Turn the key to the OFF position.
- Step 16: Disconnect all connectors and the Data-Link (4-pins) connector.
- Step 17: Use the appropriate tool (FLASH LINK UPDATER or FLASH LINK MOBILE) with your computer or smartphone to access the DCryptor menu.
Verification and Notes
Remote Starter / Alarm Verification Procedure
Test the remote starter functionality. Attempt to remote start the vehicle.
Post-Programming Steps
Step 18: After DCRYPTOR programming is completed, reconnect the 4-Pin (Data-Link) connector and then all other remaining connectors to the EVO-ALL module.
The module is now programmed.
Important Notes:
- Programming Interruption: If programming is interrupted (e.g., module disconnected, ignition turned off), the vehicle may not start normally. In such cases, disconnect and reconnect the vehicle battery to correct the situation.
