2015 Range Rover Evoque, Remote Start Wiring

Hey, I would like to install a remote start into my car but cannot find a wiring diagram? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Anybody? lol

I suspect that hardly anybody who is buying $80K or up vehicles is reading this forum.

i haven't seen a remote start for a range rover since 2012-2013. They don't have conventional ignition systems anymore and the immobilizer is done all through the data system. Probably just out luck on those

33 years as a installer now just a retired old guy. Favorite thing to install/topic are remote starts/car alarms. Stop using test lights!!!

Thanks for your reply, my local dealership wants $2200 and the local installer wants $1300, they both say I lose a key so I’m guessing they just use that as the immobilized bypass, I believe i know how to make that work and still have security features I just need the wiring schematic to make life easier lol.

i guarantee you'll loose a key. The car works through data, even the ignitions/accessories/starters are all labeled as "sense only". As a installer we can't go those wires to even add a radar detector

Sorry for my ignorance but when you say “sense only” do you mean a dry contact? As in no voltage just a switch?

$20 PayPal to anyone that can get me the info I need lol

Well after buying the service manual online, wire mapping and bench testing for 2 days I think it’ll work lol, I’m installing a viper 4806 on Saturday, if everything works out I’ll share my findings and what I had to do/use. I’m into this for about $200 Canadian so that’s pretty reasonable plus my time but I enjoy figuring stuff out lol

You can do it with basic relays along with your RS module but as mentioned before, you have to give up a key regardless. You will also need a battery bladder for the CR2032 battery inside the remote FOB and hook this up to the (-) status output wire on the starter.

Here is the battery bladder: https://fortin.ca/en/products/accessories/inset/

Yes I’m using a relay module board and a directed 1101T passive key bypass along with the 4806. No high current wires, all controlled with 200mah from the aux outputs and the starter output wire, only need a 1 amp fuse for the whole remote start. Diode isolated most of the wires so nothing comes back to the modules.

Got everything working today but came across a problem with the brake pedal switch, service manual shows 2 wires, simple switch but I have 4 wires?? Took the switch off and tested and none of the wires were either normally closed or normally open and didn’t change except for higher resistance values? Any ideas? The two wires in the service manual are there by colour but I’m worried about the other two and the fact nothing changed when pushing in the switch??

Try testing at the brake lights themselves.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

Brake Wire     green/blue     +     passenger dash fuse box, rear, brown 32 pin plug, pin 6     

Try this location for your brake wire input.

Thanks for the info, will that work for remote start though? I need to have the pedal pushed in during the remote start, that’s what I’m trying to figure out? If I give that wire 12 volts with a relay will it simulate the pedal being pressed?

Test this wire with ignition ON and you will need to isolate this from the brake input of the starter. Place the (+) starter output to this wire with two diodes. One for the starter and one for the brake input. Use at least a 3-6 amp diode for proper isolation.

Thank you Jeff, I appreciate your help, this was the only issue I had and it’s finished. I’ll try this in a bit.

No problems and please post your wire colors and locations as well for anyone who wishes to do the same installation. Put it in the Car Security and Convenience - Alarm/Remote Start Pictorials section. If not send a PM with your information and images and I will upload into this section for you.

Found it, it was in the green plug, passenger fuse box, everything works now, thanks!!

That wire sits at 12 volts normally closed and when you press the pedal it opens to 0 volts, I cut the wire and ran two wires to a NC relay, remote start and it opens, still getting a push brake pedal to start, not sure what to do next I’m pulling my hair out lol

I would double check to see if the GREEN/BLUE wire at the BROWN plug is there. This should rest at nothing and when brake pedal is pressed, it should go to 12 volts.

Ok I’ll have another look tonight, I couldn’t find a brown plug when I looked yesterday, I’ll dig a little deeper, thanks again!

Shawzie26 i'm an installer and i have a customer with an Evoque 2015 that wants a remote starter. Have you been able to make it?

I haven’t worked on it since that last post, it’s been so warm this winter it hasn’t been urgent lol, I was going to finish it this week, only thing left is to find the brake wire to bypass it during remote start, everything else works so far.

Cool, keep me in touch with how you did it.
Thanks

any luck? currently stuck on a 2013 new body. would love the help if anyone has wiring diagram. cheers!
