Lock & unlock buttons work but no remote start (Evo-All)

Question

I just completed an install & am attempting to remote start my 2012 Nissan Rogue (base model with standard key) with the Prestige APS787E alarm and it isn't starting. I have the Forting EVO-ALL bypass hooked up along side it in D2D (data to data) mode. I can confirm that my lock, unlock & trunk buttons work perfectly on my Prestige remote but once I attempt to do a remote start, my amber parking lights flash exactly seven times. 

 

Also when I attempt to do a remote start, I notice no lights flash on the Evo-All, is this normal?

 

Moreover, I didn't hook up the hood pin switch that came w/ my alarm kit. Could that be the issue? Does the Prestige require the hood pin switch to be connected for the remote start to function? WIrecolor.com said my Nissan has a hoodpin switch but I physically couldn't find one under the hood.

 

Thanks & happy holidays

Answer 1

You should probably contact Prestige so they can assist you with this problem. If the problem is not engaging the EVOALL, this is why you don't see any light on it.

Look in your manual for tach programming procedure and try again. Also make sure your Prestige is set to automatic transmission.

Comments

I do see lights on the Evo-All when I unlock & lock my doors. Also, I can confirm the Prestige alarm & Evo-all bypass are communicating because I never hooked up trunk release wire to the Prestige as the Evo-All takes care of that in D2D protocol.

Even though am in D2D mode, can I manual wire only the Tach wire to the alarm system?

Also, I used a multimeter to check the "ground while running" wire connection btw the alarm & Evo-All and it reads 12V & when I attempt to do a remote start, it never shows a ground reading?

Refer to page 20 in the install manual for the Prestige. You need to learn the tach value before it will start the car. If it doesn't work in d2d mode you have other options. You can set the prestige to monitor voltage instead of tach. It is less reliable but should work. Other options are connect the green/orange wire from the Prestige to the pink wire on the Evo all. Last option would be to connect the green/orange wire to a valid tach source on the engine. (coil or fuel injector).

After the tach is learned verify you have your GWR. It should work after the tach is learned.
