Default MPC\Evo-All remote start

I'm having some issues with the aftermarket remote start system. I have the EVO-All system. The same system that MPC uses. I programmed the module via software, and install it in my car, successfully. The blue light flashes rapidly after the programming stage.

When I do the 3x lock on the key fob, I don't see any blue activity light or any light. When I hop in the car and start the vehicle up, the amber light stays solid. I made sure that the CAN LO and CAN HI made a proper connection, otherwise, I don't think it would program. Anything else I should check?

Already did. No luck there. It's the same instruction as the MPC.

Which is why I'm asking for help here. Since there are a couple of members who have installed the MPC, I just want to get their insight or see if someone else has run into this issue.

You can reach out to Fortin as well , they are pretty helpful. They also have an app that you can use to trouble shoot. I installed mine using the t-harness, then connected the 2 can wires. If you did the same check the can wires.

Did you strip the can wires or use t-tap?

I recently installed the MPC EVO-ALL remote start on my 2013 GS350. I did not do anything with the Hi Can/Lo Can. It's not necessary. Maybe that's the issue.

Here's a video that I found to be helpful:

That is odd since both the MPC and Fortin instruction said that I need both CAN wire up. I'll give it a try.

Not yet. I'm thinking I need to install a kill\safety switch. It has been raining on and off here lately.

I'm going to order a new t-harness. Maybe mine is defective since it's not picking up the lock\unlock commands but the system picks up when the ignition is on or off.

It could also be that the evo all isn’t programmed properly. You can do it yourself with a flashlink updater from Fortin and a Windows computer.

I have the flasher. I started off with the EVO-ONE that was supposed to go in my 2006 but reflashed it for the '13. That didn't work so I got the Evo-all programmed it to the '13. So I'm down the to the harness.
