2014 CX-5 PTS - remote starter - no key required?

0 votes
Can you please confirm that with the newly released evo-all, I can install a remote starter on my 2014 Mazda CX-5 GT PTS without losing a key now?  Also, I want it so that when starting my car, after opening the door, the engine does not automatically shut off.  Is this possible now?  I know that this was a problem in the past that was only resolved by having a physical key hidden in the car.

Correct, no key required. The vehicle will shut down though when you open a door. This is all explained in the installation guide.

Absolutely no way around this through wiring?

No way, car will shut down.

Would it make any difference if I purchase a 3rd party RS?  Like a Compustar or Viper instead of using the factory fob and doing the 3x lock start?

Won;t make a difference. the vehicle needs to be shut down when started this way.
