T-harness availability for 2017 Forester XT PTS

0 votes
Is there a T-Harness for a 2017 Forester XT push to start?

Description for THAR-ONE-SUB2 describes 2013+ support, but the details only list starting 2017 Impreza PTS as the earliest. Is there a page I'm missing?

Hello,

At this time Fortin does not offer any t-harness for the 2017 forester xt pts.

Best regards.

thanks - which vehicles that are 2013 and up are supported by this harness?
Thanks for the information.
For the Forester XT w/PTS - I'm looking to also integrate a direct smartstart DSM550 Module.
The recommended firmware for this vehicle is 84.11 (minimum), the recommended firmware for DSM550 is 0.83.
If using 0.83, are there any conflicts or features that are not available with this specific firmware when used with a Forester XT w/PTS?
The firmware it is suggesting for the dsm550 is for the remote starter side of the evo one not the bypass side.

You will still use 84.xx in the bypass and then flash 0.83 into the remote starter.

Thanks and happy holidays!

Guide 46681 looks like it pertains to this model of vehicle, and requires parking light wiring from the R/S, as well as arm/disarm.

Guide 95961 looks to be quite newer and for the same use case, but requires fewer wires from the R/S. Does the newer firmware on the evo-all eliminate needing to make these additional connections?

For reference, this is comparing FW 79.42 on the older guide vs 84.11 on the newer.

Regards and Thanks!
