Remote Start/Remotes Not Functional after Battery Disconnect

Question

EVO-ONE, 04/2022, SN: 002B04 271047

2009 Subaru Forester

Remote Start program: 0.44 for Omega Remote OL-RF-42-SST

Everything worked as expected during programming and testing, but after battery ground/negative was disconnected and then reconnected (for ~2 minutes) there is now no response to any remote inputs. Unable to re-learn the remotes. Any suggestions to make this work again? Any way to prevent this from happening again?

Answer 1

Omega remotes tend to deprogram when power is lost unfortunately. They will need to be reprogrammed to the EVO-ONE.

You may need to reset the EVO-ONE remote starter if pairing is not working now.

To reset the remote starter side of the unit (not the bypass side), instructions can be found here: https://fortin.ca/download/61941/EVOonereset.pdf

Remotes stopped being able to program. Both Omega methods and both Fortin methods were attempted (that were valid for this RF kit) and no programming success.

Remote start system was reset per instructions above, even reflashed 0.44.
