why do I need a Flashlink just to toggle the D1 option. with an Evo-all + harness T.

Question

Using evo all as a stand alone remote starter with oem 3x lock option. Why do I need to purchase a flashlink to make it work. D1 option should be be defaulted to on not off. 2007 Ram using install guide C.

Answer 1

No, the D1 option is default to OFF because it is not used in all application. Yes a Flashlink Updater tool is required to turn on the option.

Then it should have came with way to use the remoter starter IE  a remote from the manufacuture. This is just away to drive up profit margins

starters are ment for professional of the trade. They already have all the tools on hand. Having a flash link in every box wouldn't be very cost effective for them.

 

As an end user doing his own install, the guy you purchased the unit from could of sold you either a pre set up unit or packaged the programming tool with it.

 

The flash link is also listed as a required part on every vehicle on fortin.ca .
