EVO-KEY 2011 Kia SOUL Remote Start Data-Link

Question

I've recently purchased the OEM starter kit for a 2011 kia soul. However, this is a Canadian model and has a transponder key, so it will only crank and wont start unless a key is held near the ignition.

Will the EVO-KEY work as a bypass in conjunction with the OEM remote start kit? Is there a requirement for any sort of data link between the start module and the the EVO-KEY?

Thank you

Hello,

As long as your starter has the neccessary outputs such as ground while running, tach, start etc the evo-key can be used in a wire to wire configuration.

If you want to use data link then you would need to know if your starter offers fortin protocol. If not then no data link cannot be utilized.

Best regards.
