Followed guide 18861 for 2013 Toyota Tacoma v6 manual

programming went fine where the red and blue lights flash then a rapid blue light.

have everything wired from the diagram correctly. Doubled checked wires. Are there any other wires I have to connect besides the guide?

I have crimestopper revo 4 remotes.

Maybe the firmware is wrong. Had the dealer check 3 times

What functions are you referring to?

If it is doorlock control, you will need to connect analog wires to the vehicle since we do not list those features as controlable through canbus.

Thank you.

All functions. I had my revo 4 remotes previously synced to another evo one box and had to return it for another box. I tried to program the remotes to the new box. I do see a faint blue light whenever I press a button but nothing happens. Maybe there's a way to reset the remotes and reprogram or maybe the remotes aren't programmed correctly to my new unit.
revo antenna plugs into the blue datalink antenna port and not the black datalink port.

see this guide: http://fortin.ca/download/29221/EVO-ONE%20RF-KIT%20CrimeStopper%20REVO.pdf

 

To reset the evo-one remote start settings completely, the procedure is written in the Quick Installation Guide that comes in the box of the evo-one. It's on page 2 under the section called, "MASTER RESET OF ALL PROGRAMMED FUNCTIONS AND REMOTES"

Got the  the antenna plugged in correctly. I'll try the remote reset. Thanks
Do you own a Flashlink Updater-2? Do not reset unless you have a Flashlink Updater-2 module.
I don't have one. I wouldn't think I need to reset the module for remotes since it hasn't been synced to any remotes yet. The current revo 4 remotes were synced to another unit that was returned. I was curious if there was a way to actually reset the remotes themselves.
Just talked to crimestopper. The remotes should program to the new box. I am trying to program them through the valet switch, hold down then 5 times etc. Seems like the remotes won't pair properly.

In the unlikely chance that another type of rf kit has been programmed/tested/preset on the evo-1 unit you have, doing a master reset as mentioned above will default your evo-1 to a rf protocol that your revo remote controls.

 

Also, when programming, red led should flash after holding down valet switch after ignition has been turned on,

push 5 times on valet switch, then THE RED LED SHOULD FLASH ONCE after pressing and releasing the brake pedal, only then do you press the button the lock button on each remote.

Ok got the remotes working. Now can't figure out how to remote start
Another thing. My parking lights stay on no matter what unless I unplug the module
Please read the user's manual for the Revo RF kit to figure out which button to push to remote start the vehicle.

As for the parking lights, how did you connect to the vehicle? Please specify which wire you used and which wire in the vehicle it was connected to.

Thank you.
I tried every way possible on the remotes. I have the pink wire from the evo connected to the green wire on the light switch.
if you disconnect the pink wire from the vehicle, can you test it with a logic probe to see if there is a constant ground coming out of that wire,

Also if your vehicle is automatic transmission, did you cut the yellow loop on the side of the unit?

Thank you.
I'll test it when I get home after work. But on my previous module the lights were flashing just fine. As soon as I plug in the new module the lights stay on. I did not cut the loop. I have a manual
Since you have a manual transmission vehicle, are you putting the vehicle in "reservation mode" or "ready mode"?

This step is necessary for manual transmission vehicles to ensure that the vehicle is not in gear.

Thank you.
