2016 Mazda 6 EVO-ALL + MY-START - Key Takeover Possible?

Question

Hey everyone,

I am planning to install an EVO-ALL and a MY-START into my 2016 Mazda 6 soon. The only thing that is puzzling me is why a key-takeover is not possible when using the THAR-MAZ1 harness, but is possible without it.

Looking at both guides, I don't understand the differences. I can see that the direct wire guide uses "Ignition 2" on the 32-pin white connector, and the THAR-MAZ1 guide uses "Data-key" on the 32-pin white connector. This seems to be the only differences in the two guides, and I can't imagine that this is what affects the key-takeover functionality.

If I am understanding this correctly, key-takeover is only possible if the EVO-ALL can detect an unlock signal when the vehicle is running. How can the EVO-ALL detect this signal when it is wired directly compared to when it is wired using the harness?

If, for whatever reason, the EVO-ALL cannot detect the OEM remote's unlock signal when the vehicle is running, what about the MY-START? This is an RF-KIT, which means that it's signals should be unaffected by whether the vehicle is running or not. In this case, if the vehicle was unlocked with this, would it still shutdown once the doors were opened?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

EVOALL in standalone configuration is only available WITHOUT takeover. If you wish takeover you can either use EVOALL with a seperate remote starter or use EVOONE with THAR-MAZ3.

In either case you will also require a Flashlink Updater to pass the DCryptor process.

Yes you can use My Start, use the installation guiude for EVOStart (not EVOStart2) on this page http://fortin.ca/en/technology/rf_kits.html

Thanks for the response Mathieu,

Why the EVO-ALL not capable of key-takeover as a standalone module? Is there any additional connections that can be made in order to have it function this way? If not, will the RF kit be able to emulate the key-takeover functionality at all?

There is some technical limitations preventing the EVOALL to be able to have takeover.

No, what ever RFKIT is used, the engine will shut down when the driver door is opened.
