Remote starter installed!

So I just finished installing a remote starter in my 2011 G37xS sedan. I have installed many remote starters in the past so I've got some experience under my belt. I used this time a Fortin EVO ALL bypass. That is all I used, I did not buy a remote starter. The bypass once programmed has an option to be set as a remote starter. What this bypass does is start the car just like if you were sitting in the car, it uses Infiniti's electronics to start the car. I got the EVO ALL off Amazon for $65 and it took about 1.5 hrs. Press 3X Lock to start and 3x Lock to turn off. Works flawlessly. For anyone that wants factory type remote starter, this is the way to do it, cheap, reliable and easy. A shop should be able to do this for less than $300.

I did not take any pictures. Use the link I am posting and enter your vehicle year. Follow the standalone guide, simple install.

https://ifar.ca/en/products/evo-seri...all/files.html

I can walk anyone through the install. I just didn't take any pictures or anything when I did it. Guide #8441 from Fortin is really well illustrated. You will also need to purchase a Fortin Flash link updater and download flash manager program on your laptop. Also the procedure on the fortin is as follows. You must program it, then plug it into your computer and enable option 15 and then hit save, NOT FLASH.

It is not plug and play, you have to physically wire and solder the connections. There is maybe like 10 wires to connect, all but two are in the steering column. Just an FYI, EVO ALL parking lights output is (-) negative, G37 is a positive (+) signal, so a relay will be needed to reverse polarity.

Is this what you ended up purchasing? If so, I'm all over it as I have an Amazon gift card to use

You will also need to purchase a flash link updater, to be able to set the remote start option in the bypass.

http://www.the12volt.com/relays/page1.asp

In the link above, the first relay picture is what you need to do for the parking lights. (-) trigger is from the EVO All. 12+ output goes to parking lights in the G37 drivers kick. Other two pins needs 12+.

There are three wires that need to be run to the BCM on the passengers kick, lock, unlock and door pin. Please refer to guide #8441 from Fortin on wiring details.

I want to install on in my car, i do have a few question if you know them. I have a manual transmission, does the evo-all support and have safety features in place for this? Not really enjoying my mornings sitting in my car for 10 mins for it to warm up shivering in like 10 degree weather...(its actually warmer outside then im my car -.-)

The EVO ALL when set for remote start is only applicable to automatics, it is not designed to work for manual as it does not have a clutch and gear safety check.
