option 12 on EVO-ALL for VW

Question

Hey guys, I'm trying to update our database and weeding out the cars that "absolutely" need an OEM key wrapped to disarm the OEM alarm upon unlocking.

 

We only use the EVO-ALL to control locks and alarm.   We do not need it for remote start...

Can you please tell me which cars MUST use a key wrapped to disarm the OEM alarm when we send an unlock pulse from our device?

I just read a revision (http://ifar.ca/download/11981/evo-all_volkswagen.rev-20131025.pdf) which states to enable option 12 in the menu for the EVO-all to disarm for remote start.  Will this work in lieu of wrapping a key as the old diagram asked for cars such as the Passat, Jetta, etc?

Hello!

Most VW will require that ignition and key wrap be activated when you do unlock. It would almost be safe to assume Key-Wrap required for Disarming factory alarm on all vehicles, but i understand that you may not be using the EVO for remote starting and sometimes asking a key from your clients may have them run the other direction.

On connections such as the one you linked, notice the connections from the RED connector of the EVO. the white / stripe wires do key-wrap, while the yellow / stripe wires go to 12v and ignition. In these cases, the EVO automatically triggers Ignition and Key Wrap on Unlock.

We do not have a listing of specific vehicles that require the key wrap for disarm. The best I can at the moment is ask to take a quick look at the installation diagram beforehand.

The note about option 12 was added to every install guide only because most vehicles required unlock before / relock after remote start.
