Question, were you re-using the same wiring the previous system was connected to? The module may still program correctly if the Tx or Rx connection is no good (i forget which).

Have a feeling it's that start/stop connection. I know on the EVO-ALL we say to use the Pink/Black wire but I am pretty sure that for the EVO-ONE and with the latest firmwares, it should actually be the White/Black wire.

I sent out a request to get the proper install guide for the EVO-ONE uploaded to the website.

This vehicle is being looked at right now by engineering. One thing for sure is that the Pink/Black wire does NOT go to the Start/Stop button. On the EVO-ONE, the Pink/Black wire is an input, not an output.

keep me updated about it if you found out how to do it so i can do it for my customer

tks

Ok, the start-stop connection will definitly be on the White/Black wire of the EVO-ONE and not the Pink/Black. We will be finalizing the new firmware tomorrow and adding some improvements.

A firmware reflash will be necessary.

Firmware 0.47 and using the White/Black for the start-stop connection will get this up and running. The installation guide is being owrked on today and should be available by either the end of the day of tomorrow so it's up to you if you wish to wait on the EVO-ONE.

 

I would suggest a master reset to the EVO-ONE after flashing to the 0.47 firmware.
