Is my EVO ALL not programming?

Question

I have a Crimestopper DS-7 and an EVO ALL in my PTS 2014 Kia Soul. When I go to program the red light flashes rapidly and goes off, then the blue light flashes rapidly and just keeps on blinking. Am I doing something wrong? I have hardware version 6 and the latest firmware version.

I can remote start the vehicle but when I press the Ignition button while the vehicle is running it only goes from ACC to OFF and also never sees the key in the car.

Also for some reason my remote starter does not have an "(+) Accessory" or an "(+)Ignition2" wire. Could this be my issue?

Lastly I cannot use any of my features such as my heated steering wheel, heated seats or even turn the heat on.

 

Thanks!

Your programming is good. You absolutly need to connect Accessory and Ignition2 to the vehicle, I don't know crimestopper very good but they must have those outputs.

Comments

The reason I thought it was not programmed is because in the instructions it says it will flash red then flash blue and then red will flash again and the red never flashes a second time.

This crimestopper DS-7 has a main power wire, ignition wire, wire for parking lights and a selectable wire which can be ignition2,accessory or start signal. That is the main harness and there is nothing that I have seen in the manual saying that there is an accessory wire or ignition2 wire on the other harness.

First, the EVO does not control anything heating related in this type of installation

If i look at the Crimestopper manual, they state the DS-7 is for vehicles equipped with Push-to-Start and that do not require high current ignition connections.

Your Kia Soul is a push-to-start vehicle, but the installation requires high current connections. Ignition1, Ignition2, Accessory and start.

The DS-7 does not seem to have the proper outputs for this vehicle. Take a look at their Cool Start series starter

Well that stinks. Thanks for the quick replies! Time to find a new remote start system.

OK so I ordered an AutoPage C3-RS625. Hopefully I will not have any more issues once this is installed since it has a data bus communication port so it shouldn't be too bad. I will update again once it is installed or if I have issues installing it.
