RF642W and Evo One. Remote start does not work.

0 votes
Last year installed Evo One with HON5 T harness in my 2014 Honda Pilot.  The remote start worked great pressing the lock button 3 times on factory  FOB. Fast forward to today. Installed a RF642W. Programmed 1 of the key FOBS that came with the RF642w kit. Remote start and lock/unlock doors worked fine. So programed the 2nd key FOB from kit. Now remote start does not work on either FOB or the 3X on facory FOB. Tried a program of said RF642w FOBS a few more times. Same result. No remote start, but lock/unlock works on FOB 1.) Have "valet" switch plugged into module. Used it for programming the FOBS. Left it pugged in. 2.)  Have "RF Antenna" plugged into Blue plug on module. 3.) Tried H1 and H2 options under RF Antenna in module options. 4.) When attempt remote start the Honda lights flash 4 times, but no start.  5.) ITried it remote start withut valet switch plugged in - no change.  Question" Is there an easy fix or should I reset module to factory options via Flash Link? Using Flask Link V2.

4 flashes = sounds like you my have simply put the the starter in VALET MODE (the starter is off).

 

To get in and out of valet (there are 2 methods written on page 8-9 of the user guide)..

Method 1 with valet button: 

-- Turn key on

-- press and release the valet button 3x

-- turn key off

 

Method 2 with remotes:

-- press & release (-) on the remote

-- press & release lock and unlock simultaneously

3.) Tried H1 and H2 options under RF Antenna in module options.

 

Turn those options off.  The are for the EVO-ALL, not the EVO-ONE.
