Evo-One won't detect CAN-bus on my 2013 Toyota Tacoma G-Key

+1 vote
I Installed and was able to program my Evo-One successfully after flashing it with Firmware 7.20 for the Bypass and Firmware 1.15 for the Remote Start. I am trying to use my OEM remote 3x to remote start the vehicle which I activated with the Flash-Link2 Module at 38.2. First of all, the Evo-one won't detect any door activity through my CAN-bus. I also connected the Purple wire from the Evo-one to the Blue/White in the vehicle and the Purple/White to the Gray wire to see if that would work but it didn't. I confirmed these connections by adding a ground to these points and activated the door locks. I'm using all of the connections on Guide #18861 (page 2) and several extra conections from the "Wire Color" guide including the IMI/IMO, Key Sense, Foot Brake, Horn and Headlights connections. The "Wire Color" Guide also has connections for PATS RX/TX , VSS and Tach, which I can't seem to identify at the Evo-One 20 pin connector (or maybe I don't need these connections). I have several questions: 1. Does my vehicle send door activity data through the CAN-Bus? 2. Is "OEM Remote 3x start"  supported on a 2013 Tacoma (G-Key)? 3. Will I need to buy an RF remote kit to make this Evo-One work? 4. Am I missing any connections or do I have too many wires connected?  I'm really frustrated and think I have a defective unit. It's been days since I have been trying to resolve this and am about to give up. Please HELP!

door trigger not on can bus for tacome. Wirecolor is a ressource not only for remote start, you should only use the wires you actually need for your application. 3x lock not supported on Tacoma. Yes you will need a compatible RF Kit to make your EVOONE work.

I installed a Computech 2-way RF kit and got everything working except that when I press the remote start: It cranks, tries to start, then dies. Almost as if the Immobilizer is still active. I tried all of the different crank time settings and it still won't stay on. I'm almost there!
2013 Toyota Tacoma cranks but doesn't start.
