Performance is nothing without control
An enhanced version of the FLASH-LINK updater is now available and we're delivering a new updated version of the Windows FLASH-LINK Software to accompany it.
Several features and module options can now be customized with the FLASH-LINK menu. Simply point-and-click to enable or disable specific functionality preloaded in our data integration modules. This fine-grained control allows you to offer customized services to each of your customers, and provides you with the ability to up-sell a basic remote car starter or security installation with several different "add-on" features.
Disable any of the following features which are enabled by default:
- Door Locks - Door lock & unlock control.
- Trunk Release - Trunk / hatch release.
- Key Bypass - Immobilizer bypass.
- Heated Seats & Rear Defrost - Automatic low temperature heated seats & rear-defrost control.
- Foot-Brake Output - Foot-brake output.
- Hand-Brake Output - Hand-brake output.
- Door Trigger - Door trigger output.
- Trunk Trigger - Trunk / hatch trigger output.
- Hood Trigger - Hood trigger output.
- Auxiliary 1 - Vehicle specific function. (e.g. Right Sliding Door, Power Lift Gate)
- Auxiliary 2 - Vehicle specific function. (e.g. Left Sliding Door, Gas Cap Release)
Enable any of the following features which are disabled by default:
- Unlock/Lock (Disarm OEM Alarm) - Automatically unlock & disarm before remote-start and re-lock & re-arm after remote-start.
- Unlock Drivers Door Only - Simulate the OEM key-fob with driver's door priority unlock on 1st unlock signal. All doors unlock on 2nd unlock signal.
- Aftermarket alarm control via OEM remote - Monitor the vehicle's databus and synchronizes the remote car starter or security system with the OEM remote allowing the customer to use either remote.
- Engine-Start via OEM remote - Remote start the vehicle when the OEM remote's lock button is pressed 3x times. An aftermarket remote-starter not required.
The EVO-ALL and EVO-CAN (Hardware 3+) supports customized options. No Internet connection is required to enable or disable an option. Customizing an option will enable or disable both the analog wire and the respective data-link code. All options depend on the vehicle's available features.
