"2011 ram 1500" connecting "Encore E9" alarm with EVO-ALL and THAR-CHR4 compatiable?

Question

Hi, is the EVO-ALL compatible with an Encore E9 alarm? I plan on installing this in a 2011 RAM 1500. would i follow the regular Guide # 46661 with Data-Link? is there a setting to enable for the data-link? F2?

Thank you!

Answer 1

The Evo-All has 3 different datalink protocols to be able to communicate with over maybe 90% of remote starters on the market and for the remaining 10% there is always "wire to wire" analog connections whtich makes the Evo 100% compatible with all remote starters as long as the necessary signals are there.

 

As for the Encore, please check the installation guide and find out the default datalink protocol and match it with the Evo-All using the Flashlink Updater-2 (sold separately) with options F1 (Fortin) F2 (AP/OFA similar to idatalink) and F3 (D2D, most DEI products)

 

Thank you,

Do you mean you want it to only start on the 2nd press of the start button of the aftermarket remote?

If so, then you would need to contact the manufacturer of the remote start module to see if it is an option that is supported in their options.

Thank you,

Hi again, the system was working great for 2 weeks. Unfortunately, for some reason it does remote start anymore and when when I press the arm button the doors do not lock and disarm does not unlock the doors. Suggestions? Does the evoall have a diagnostic via LED? Thank you.

The evo only had diagnostics via the led if it's in standalone mode.

The remote starter itself should have parking light diagnostics.

One test you can perform is to locate the purple and purple/white wires in the 20 pin connector and touch them to a grounded part of the vehicle. To see if the vehicle will lock or unlock.

Do you have a Flashlink Updater-2?

Hi thank you for the reply, I was able to get working. For some reason the power plug connector was loose.

Hi, for some reason the remote start and lock/unlock do not work properly all the time. Sometimes the remote start will try to engage but it just cycles with no start/crank. Also randomly the arm button will not lock but it chirps once and unlocking button will lock the door as if the buttons were reversed. In a previous post I said the power plug was loose. This is not the case. To get the system working again i have to unplug and replug the power cable from the evoall. What would cause this intermittent problem? Something grounding? Thank you.
