Hey all, Wiring a EVO-CHR and a Compustar 2WG5-900SH remote start into a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Looked at the wiring compared to the 2009 and its exactly the same. Question is I haven't used the above combo before. Looking at Fortin's webpage/video for the evo makes me think it should be a simple plug in the bypass with the correct harness, then plug in the data-2-data wire and the antenna and I should be all set. Those that have used the combo or the newest generation of Compustar and the evo can you tell me what else I need to wire? The video just make it seem to easy. I have tried looking but all I can find is that some of you guys are able to do a complete install in 15 mins. Thanks for the help, Ian

Possibly the easiest install you will ever do. Just follow the directions on the bypass and hardwire all of your connections to the bypass (even if the start you have supports data link) none of the data link setups seem to be 100% reliable yet. You will have the T harness and all you hook up to the vehicle aside from that will be power, ground, and I believe parklights. I have only done 1 so far and it was rediculously easy with that bypass. The only thing that confused me is the remote start gets ignition power from the bypass do not connect remote start ignition to the vehicle. That makes it do funny things.

agree with post above. dont use the d2d, have everything w2w where you can. prevents a fail later on. also, this installation should take you approx 2 hours if you have no idea waht todo, but then again, the evochr does everything for you

k wiring this into a manual transmission 2010 Wrangler. Anyone know how to wire in the clutch safety switch. I've looked at the clutch pedal assembly itself and there doesn't appear to be any wires right on it. There is a small harness that is connected in front of the brake pedal. Would this have the wires im looking for?
Thanks.

k got it figured out... had to do wire to wire like you guys said. Tried data 2 data and it didn't work.
Had an issue for a while that would have the alarm go off but it would still start. Must have been the bypass not working right. But I think we got it straightened out. thanks for the help guys.

Ok... so the remote start is all wired and was working when we just had it laid out on the jeep. Routed all the wires and tucked everything away, and now it doesnt work. Doesnt even want to stay in reservation mode. I'm thinking it might either not be getting a good ground (which would be odd because I used one of the factory grounds) or it might not be getting enough power. We tapped into the brake light which we tested as a 12 v constant. First time we had it soldered in the fuse blew for the brakes, we then replaced the fuse and it was good to go. Anyone have any other ideas?

K After re-reading the above I even got confused... here is it simply. Remote Start all wired and worked when laid out. Tucked all wires away. Now placed into reservation mode, exit vehicle, close door. Vehicle locks and shuts down as it should. Started via remote and worked. Got in a took over with key, drive. Park place into reservation mode and shuts down when key is removed (as if remote start not installed) Remote start FOB still able to lock/unlock doors. But when press Start button 2-way key fob sends signal then flashes red after a moment and jeep doesn't start.

are you following the reservation mode correctly? also the d2d doesnt work with the compustar because the compustar is programmed default to work with ADS (idatalink modules) you need to go ito programming to change it to Fortin, however i sstill hate the d2d, i prefer w2w anyday. ------------- Ted

ya i scrapped the d2d and did w2w. I have a feeling it might just be in valet mode. When we unplugged everything to re-route the wiring it the remote start was unplugged for a good 30 mins. Seems to be intermittent though. Worked at lunch. Figured I would try and take it out of valet mode as per manual and try. If that doesnt work, might try unplugging everything let the brain reset and try programming from scratch.

Ok I have no idea whats happening with this remote start.
Everything seemed to be working fine. Now not so much.
I tried unplugging everything and start the programming sequence from the start. The bypass now doesnt seem to want to take the programming. I press the program button and plug in the harness, then turn the key to on and instead of flashing it just pulses really, really quickly. then I turn the jeep off and press the lock button and the red-light just stays pulsing.
I'm hoping that if I can get this part figured out the rest will fall into place.
Anyone have any ideas please?!?

dont attempt to program the evo chr more than once. if you do the module will go into lock out mode and it wont be usable.
