EVO-ALL does not seem to send Start Signal to Remote Starter (wired directly to BCM now)

Sorry about the long read, but I thought I'd give as much information as possible.

2008 Nissan Armada LE with Intelligent-Key

Using a EVO-ALL module that has a sticker on back that says the following...

***Flashed 12-7-2015 ... Nissan, 72, 19 ... Intelli-Key***

Everything was install according to instructions provided by the vendor in their own instruction PDF using a diagram custom made for the vehicle and for Hardware Version 3 / FW 4.07.  Looking at the latest PDF from Fortin, there's nothing different in the wiring shcematic from the old one.  Using a HD6. FW4.18 and programming was done without any issues.

We're using the factory remote to send the 3-lock starting signal to the remote start unit (Cool Start RS00) which has Data-Link.

At first the car did not start.  We assumed the Remote Start unit was not getting the signal from the EVO-ALL, so connected an ativation wire from the remote starter directly to the BCM to get that sorted out.  Vehicle Started up.

Notes: EVO-ALL blue light flashes when it detects any remote activity.  It does not flash or do anything after the 3-lock signal is given by OEM remote except that the yellow/red lights light up when it is under the control of the Remote Starter.

Now, theres a few other mysteries that I didn't expect.   After remote starting the vehicle, we press unlock and try to get in the vehicle ... the engine shuts down as soon as the driver door is opened.  It's a minor annoyance but I'd like the vehicle to NOT shut down and do the hand-over process so I don't have to re-start the vehicle.  If I'm inside while testing and unlock, then turn the Key, it all works and driver takes control.  Works as expected with the system shutting down if I touch the brake pedal before turning the key.  Just can't open the door if I was outside without it shutting down.

NEXT, a long press on the remote to Lock the door actually starts the vehicle!  No three clicks ... I'm assuming this is an issue with the Remote Starter and not the EVO-ALL.  

My train of thinking.  The vehicle does not have a "Ignition 2" like the remote starter output has, but does have an "Accessory 2" ... I will be changing the option and wiring this up as Accessory 2 instead of Ignition 2.  

Could the activation wire that was wired later directly to the Remote Starter bypass any EVO-ALL Data-Link functions and cause the issues?  What do I need to do to so I can eliminate this Activation wire and have the EVO-ALL communicate with the Remote Starter?  Is there a way of testing if the EVO-ALL is sending a signal out?  I hear the doors lock a few seconds after the vehicle starts and that's being done by the EVO-ALL.  Also, programming the Remote Start requires pressing the brake pedal to select options and that data is received so I know for a fact that the Data-Link works!

You will need the latest firmware, NOT 4.18 to get 3x lock to start. Enabling option C1 in the EVOALL will also solve all your issues.
