Anyone install Fortin EVO-ALL stand-alone?

The Evo All Stand Alone is a bypass and remote starter all in one. I have installed remote starters in the past and this looks super easy. Not that many wires and one device. It will bypass the security and command the car to start. It uses the infiniti electronics to start the car. You start it with the infiniti remote (3x lock). Curious if anyone has had this installed or knows anything. I am about to get it and install it.

You do not want the Fortin piece, you want to use the DB-ALL or DB-ALL2 from Expresskit. It's FAR easier to install because Expresskit has an optional plug-and-play harness. You only need to tap two wires... door trigger and the PTS wire. I install these on Nissan/Infiniti all of the time for a living.

Thank you for the reply, too late as I have already installed it. What is required other than buying DB-ALL2, how does it get flashed and so on?

I am also interested in the DB-ALL kit. If you buy it flashed for your model, is it really as easy as tapping a couple wires to get remote start to work with the infiniti key fob? Please let me know. Thanks

From the information I've gathered, you will need to buy the DBALL module, an XKLOADER2 (to flash the module) and a T-Harness (for the easiest installation). I would not trust most resellers out there who are saying they will flash the module for you - most of what I saw were refurbished or rectified modules. Go buy new and direct from a reliable source, and get the flash loader yourself and do the firmware upgrade so YOU can selection your own options for the DBALL to handle within your vehicle.

Using the T-Harness allows you to not have to do any cutting or splicing, AND you can enable additional features within your vehicle:
  • Remote Start Options (time in minutes car runs before it shuts off until you enter)
  • Walk-away safety controls (incase you forget to turn the car off, it will turn off when the key is away for x amount of minutes)
  • Turn on Heater/Defroster at certain temperature
  • Enable heated seats at certain temperature (this is questionable)
  • Other various features with internal convenience features
  • Various door lock options

I'm definitely interested in this remote start option if it doesn't require any cutting and splicing of wires but I don't see a T-harness for the Infiniti?

With either the EVO-all or DBALL, you have to splice at least 1 wire (I think). There isn't a harness for the EVO-all (that I know of) and that involves nothing but splicing.

With the DBALL, there IS a harness available that you use to tap the Key Port, OBDII and PTS button - which involves no splicing, minus a few wires that needed to be spliced; can't confirm this exactly.

Link to said T-Harness showing it does exist.

THNISS3 T-Harness and DB-ALL in hand. I also ordered the XKLOADER2 to flash the DB-ALL for my vehicle. Install will take place this week/weekend/whenever I have time.

Let me know how it works out and how it works. Do you have to do any cutting or splicing? Need to run any wires to the BCM? Very curious how this is VS the EVO ALL I have. No complaints here, EVO ALL works great, just more work.

No cutting - just splicing. Using those nifty wire taps. And I'm sure I will only have to tap 2 wires if I've read the diagrams correctly versus what is required by the DBALL module.

I'll post pics of the harness I have and install once I get all up in there.

Where you able to take pictures for the install? I was thinking of getting the DBALL2 unit with the T harness and was curious how the install went.

You really don't have a need for the DBALL2 in this application. There will be no feature difference between the two devices. Save yourself some money and go with the DBALL. Also keep in mind that the DBALL and the DBALL2 use different T-Harnesses.

DBALL - THNISS3
DBALL2 - THNISS3C
