2017 Golf Manual No start after 2 ignition cycle (3 flashes)

0 votes
I have a Evo one, THAR-VW2. Followed the install, "sucessfully" Programmed the by-pass side with the R-Link/VW-TB. as far as I can tell, when it cycles the ignition with the VW-TB unplugged it gives me a Immibilizer active in the cluster.

Set car up, it takes over. open door, get out close door hit lock car shuts off. car locks. press lock 3 times ignition comes on. no crank. does this twice. then flashes the park lights 3 times. ive been back through the install a few times I dont see anything wrong. stepping on the clutch doesnt make the car start when it goes to crank nor does leaving the key in the ignition. If you start the car with the key (car starter ignition on) it stays running if you remove the key.

Evo-one illumates the yellow light when the igntion is on.

clearly im missing something simple. any help would be greatly appricated.

Thanks,

Colin.

if parking lights flash 3x BEFORE attemting to start its not in "ready mode".

if the paring lights flash 3x AFTER attemting to start, its been shutdown by transmitter or runtime expired.

double check the parking light flashes, if its flashing 4x AFTER, its missing a tach signal so id check the rx/tx and can high/low connections if thats the case.

**also check to see if the red led is illuminated inside the module near the yellow loop, if its on then the module is in valet mode, to turn off valet mode close the circuit white two pin conector 3x with the valet button                    (or a flat screwdriver)
