    Is anyone running this for aftermarket amps and also installed the Fortin EVO one remote start?

    Alright ,so the long of it is I had trouble with my stereo install a few years back and ended up taking it in to the local Audio shop. Did a great job and system sounds awesome.

    Just ordered a remote start from tech12 volts and have been working with James.
    For some reason with the remote start connected, my amps will not turn on. James has deciphered most of it to the remote start pulling power from whatever harness was installed for the stereo, not allowing the amps to turn on as voltage has dropped.

    I found out they used a PAC AP4-TY12. James hasn't used them and is at somewhat of a loss here. I'm trying to narrow the problem down to any solution before I return the product.
    For example I think the Maestro Idatalinks had a resistor or diode added or cutout to stop the issue. Unsure of what I might be able to do with the PAC unit.
    I'm kind of at a loss. Any help is appreciated if anyone has been down this road and found a solution.

    This is all I could find so far and Fortin tech support has been a phonetree loop to nothing this a.m.

    OK got a hold of PAC people. Apparently there is incompatibility with the components creating to much signal noise and drop in voltage. Sooooo, don't use this combo....

    UPDATE******* Was working with James @tech12volts
    to trouble shoot this. I hooked it all back up to try some different stuff and lo and behold everything worked perfectly. He received a call the same day with a guy stating his OBDII connector had a bent pin. Might have been the same problem. Yup it was. SO secured it all and it works fine. Had a small issue with the Carlink CL6 app staying in test mode. Instruction on their PDF stated it would stay that way for 4 hours after initial install. I deleted my vehicle, reinstalled it with the serial number and it was good to go.
