2013 Civic MT, automatic unlock/lock cycle

0 votes
After installing EVO ONE + EVO START 2, every time I:

 - put the car in ready mode, leave the car, lock it, then the car unlocks and locks back then engine off

 - remote start the car, first the car unlocks/locks then the engine starts

 - remote stop the engine, the car unlocks/locks first, then engine turns off.

Why is this unlocking/locking cycle happens? Is it normal?

Yes this is all normal behavior, the unlocking before starting is to disarm the vehicle factory alarm, the relocking after engine shut off i to rearm the vehicle alarm.

The car unlocks by itself when shutting down the engine so it relocks after the engine shutdown.
