Cannot change button mapping to trunk or Aux Feature - OMEGA OL-RF-42-SST - EVO-ONE

Question

Suscefully installed Evo-one on my 2018 MAzda cx-9.

Added an OMEGA OL-RF-42-SST RF kit and it programmed no problem using OM 0.44 FOR OMEGALINK.

Everything works fine, OEM remote still 3x starts car if needed and Omega remote starts, locks and unlock doors no problem.

BUT I CANT get any button mapping done.

Can't get RF remote to open Trunk or Map any of the buttons to operate AUX 1 function??

 

Is this something that's not possible ?

Doing Ignition "on", hold down valet switch, get fast blinking LED, Press & Release Valet for # for mode wanted, press and release brake, Then press "desired button on RF remote, but nothing happens,

 

Using: MODE 1 - LOCK MODE 2 - UNLOCK MODE 3 - TRUNK MODE 4 - START MODE 5 - AUX.1 MODE 6 - AUX.2

Answer 1

We do not support trunk open through data on a 2018 cx-9. That is why it doesnt work from the remote. https://fortin.ca/download/68271/evo-one_ig_thr_bi_maz3-cx9-cx3_pts_2014-2017_1key_a_68271.pdf

 

You do have 1 aux output, which is the yellow/black wire on the evo-one. There is no Aux in data.

 

You could hook up yellow/black to the tail gate wire at the switch on the dash to get tailgate open if you wanted.

Is there something else that I have to deactivated in order for this to work?

I connected the trunk switch wires using a relay ciircuit. I have (+) 12 V powering the relay at less than 500mA to avoid any damaged.

I tested this circuit by grounding the connection ( where the Yellow/black wire would go) and it open and closes the trunk no problem).

Also doubled checked the current going thru the relay ~400mA.

But when I press the AUX function on the Rf remote if won't open and close the trunk?

Check to see if you get any output on yellow/black when hitting trunk button or aux1 button. It will be a negative signal.

Answer 2

Derek has you covered, but wanted too mention.

Mode 1 - lock

mode 2 - unlock

etc.... is NOT for mapping the buttons on the remote. It's to allow changing the REMOTE STARTER options in the car VS at the PC. There are 39 different remote starter options that have 6 different MODES (ie Lock - mode 1, unlock - mode 2 etc....). The remote starter options can be changed manually or at the flash link.

Playing around with that, sounds like you might have also changed the first 6 remote starter options to random settings.

Hi Derek

I have not managed to change any options.

(MODE 1 - LOCK MODE 2 - UNLOCK MODE 3 - TRUNK MODE 4 - START MODE 5 - AUX.1 MODE 6 - AUX.2) 

These were the default mapping from the install manual

Was trying to set (MODE 5 - AUX.1) to the T"runk" Button or "P" but it did not take.

The function on the "RF" remote remained the same as previous.

 

On the Flash-link Manager, Remote starter option, set option #34 to Pulse 2.5 seconds.

On the EVO side of things, make sure option 25 is set to nothing (OFF). It is currently set to 25.3 if i look at your flash history. Change it to OFF.

---

This is what I tried first.

I set Option 25  to OFF , Then set option 34  to 34.2,and 34.3.

That didn't work so I set option 25 to 25.3.

 

I will try this again.

#1 Set option 25 to everything "OFF"

#2 Set option 34 to 34.2 "ON" & 34.3 "ON

I'm hoping this works, Thanks Robb

---

Should be working afterwards. If option 25 is not OFF, the yellow/black will not be a dedicated TRUNK output.  

---

Did this: #1 Set option 25 to everything "OFF" #2 Set option 34 to 34.2 "ON" & 34.3 "ON Still not working after this. On the Omega remote instructions it says trunk key+ "P" activate AUX function, but nothing happens. Even pressing "P" seems to have no function being sent to the Evo-one unit.. I guess I'll test the output on the Aux wire to see if it's actually being activated by the remote.

---

I may be wrong, but I do believe you may be mixing the terms AUX and Trunk, since trunk is technically an AUX. But not in this case...
 

Looking at their guide, it says to press the Trunk button for 3 seconds. No mention of needing to press P. Holding P and Trunk according seems to be for a timer of sorts for their LCD remotes. 

 

 

Could be worth a shot giving them a call. https://www.caralarm.com/en/5-button-led-2-way-range-extender-kit-3000-ft

Hi Yes, your partially right

I've tried Holding down the Trunk switch on the Omega RF remote which I assumed would activate the Yellow/Black (AUX 1) (-)Ouput on the Evo One.

 

This (Yellow/black) is the wire I have hooked up to my relay circuit directlt connected to Trunk Switch.

I assumed that my assumption was incorrect so I figured it neeed to be activated by an Aux button on the remote.

But to answer your question holding down the TRunk switch on my Rf remote doesn't appear to cause any action on the evo one.

When I press the RF remote "trunk" button, it will unlock and lock all doors but if I hold it it doesn't seem to send any signal to the Evo-one unit

 

Is it the possible the long press "Trunk button" activates a different wire on the Evo one?

---

The only Trunk/AUX output on the unit is the yellow/Black wire. 

My only other suggestion is to turn off option 39, if it's enabled at the moment. It plays around a bit with how that output operates. 

---

Thanks Rob Option 39 is disabled. I made sure to check it when I changed option 25. I'll test the output on the Aux-wire 1st. If that's working, then I'll check my relay connection again. If the Aux wire(yellow/black) doesn't ground when I press and hold the trunk button, then that'll leave me at a dead end at that point We'll see. This will be a busy weekend so maybe Sunday or Monday I'll get a chance to test it

---

Hi Rob thanks for all the assistance. Tested the yellow/black wire and it grounded like it was supposed to when holding down the trunk button. Turns out one of relay wires broke off the harness. Replaced the relay with a (Relay Module With Optocoupler Isolation Support High or Low Level Trigger) All is working perfectly now. Thanks

---

Rob is away from his desk at this time but I will pass the message along.

 

Glad you got it sorted.

 

Best Regards.
