Thank you for the through installation guide! Was there no OEM remote start module for the 2022 manual WRX? The OEM one seems to be a lot easier to install and use except for the dealer activation part. Also is your phone OnePlus 12?
Dude, You're one of the only videos I've seen about installing a remote start on a VB WRX. Its seems so straight forward, that I want to try it myself. I've been quoted anywhere from $1,200, to the lowest $750 to have a remote start installed on my 2023 base. That's The other thing, that worries me, you made it seem pretty easy to figure out, although mine is a base model so I don't have the push to start, key only. but I imagine it should work the same way? So tempting, because this is a much cheaper alternative to paying somebody almost $800.
@@HardwayLearning well man, you got me second guessing myself. I have an appointment on Saturday to pay some guy $800 to install a remote start, apparently it's a compustar remote start. But now, I'm think cancel and save $500 and do it my self 🤔 a little over $300 all I'm isn't bad! Hey question, What happens if you leave it in gear, and you try to remote start it?
You have to follow the brake/hand brake/release brake and lock with key fob for it to be "ready" for the remote start function. If you don't do that, it won't let you remote start. So it's fairly dumby proof. There is a quirk I haven't figured out where it seems to auto lock the car sometimes which makes me very paranoid that it will lock my keys in the car at some point.
Great video! Where did you end up hiding the evo-one unit? Was there room behind the glove box? Does the OEM key not work once the car is remotely started?
I tucked it up behind the glove box towards the stereo next to the blower motor. OEM entry doesn't work when the evo-one has taken over with remote start 👍.
Keyless doesn't work if it is remote started, but will still work if it is not started, but if a door opens after ready mode is enabled, you can no longer remote start
Damn!!! What a great install guide and review- thanks for keeping it detailed and thorough.
Thank you 🙏!
Definitely doing this when I get my car back, car toys quoted $1200
@@PrestonJim06 right on, it's not too bad once the wiring is all straightened out!

From my understanding they do not offer an OEM solution for the manual transmissions. It's a pixel 7 pro!

Should be basically the same, just need to change it from push to start to key when configuring within their software

That’s awesome. Wish it wasn’t so hard id do it. Seems like something I’d mess up haha.
It's not that bad, just two wires and some button sequences!
Amazing job!
Thanks!
Do you think this kit would be friendly for a base model ? ( without the push to start button ) .. thx !!
It should be, just need to configure it differently in the fortin manager software
So the keyless entry doesn’t work whatsoever or it only doesn’t work when the car is in “ready mode”
Keyless doesn't work if it is remote started, but will still work if it is not started, but if a door opens after ready mode is enabled, you can no longer remote start
Will remote start work if you leave the car in gear? Or do you have to leave it in neutral with the brake up?
@@pequenioedgarito3067 it can not start if it was not turned off and left in neutral
somethings wrong with the audio
Are you talking about the microphone not picking up the car starting? Didn't realize how isolated my lav microphone was going to be
