MPC Smartphone Module and My Car app Plug and Play Remote Starter Installation on a Highlander 2019

My Push Cart Smartphone Module installation Guide for a Toyota Highlander 2019 and the My Car app. This video show how to install the MPC smartphone module to a existing Fortin EVO ALL remote starter. I also show a unboxing of what MPC will send you when you buy the module. The complete installation is pretty easy and it is plug and play. This module comes with one year of service.

Thanks for the video. I already installed the first module, this video will be a big help in getting the cellphone feature installed.

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

jdacal if you have any questions just let me know but it should be super easy. I love mine especially the GPS location feature. Good Luck

[@robinhood5499]

Hey David when you said the old harness do you mean the extra connectors that we don't need. Just trying to see how you got the 12 volts and ground from. I was thinking of going from the fuse box but the way you show looks easier and want to make sure. Thank you

[@Britty586]

Which black and red wires did you use to connect the black and red from the new harness? Does it matter? There are just 2 sets of black and red wires. One set from the white connection and one set from the black connection. Thank you.

[@dauridiaz1510]

Saludo quiero saber si puedes usar también aparte de la aplicación en el cell si se puede prender con el control de la llavero también ?

[@RaynierFamilia]

Thanks for the video. But i have a question. If you turn on the car with the phone, can be opened like normal just putting your hands close ? And you can keep turning up the car pressing three times?

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

Raynier Familia yes to both. They key fob functions won’t go away. Tip if you open the “trunk” first it won’t turn off until you open a door

[@RaynierFamilia]

David Pérez thanks a lot broh. This is acctually a good function. Toyota have the remote connect but i dont know why not for this highlander.

[@YT-glockstreamer]

I'm wondering if this is good my my 2006 dodge charger

[@jmph2058]

So, that means that you have to buy two different products in order to work? Total will be around 580. Question, you think this will work with any carrier in the U.S.? I have Metro.

[@LittleJimmyNorton]

I couldn't tell, but does everything get plugged back in? The red and white and the other big plug into the original unit. Also does the 3x push on the remote lock still work? Thanks.

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

Not all the plugs have to be connected. The 3x push on the remote still work so if you are out of your subscription you can still use the remote start

[@jmquiroga10]

Did you have to buy the remote starter and then the second unit for the app? or did you just buy the second unit with the app and that's all you needed?

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

Juan Quiroga I bought first the remote starter and then decided to buy the module for the app, so yes you have to buy both. For my Camry I just bought both together in one order

[@jmquiroga10]

@@DavidPerez-zb4vb thank you for taking the time to reply.

[@Britty586]

Also my new Mycar piece (black add on) lights stay on. Is that okay? Should I worry about it overheating or getting too warm? My device is working fine without the red, black, and yellow wires being connected so I dont know if I even need to bother with it.

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

Britty586 If your device is working fine and your car/suv is starting with your phone I will not worry about the extra wires. I have a few extra wires that are not connected to anything, I just used some electrical tape in the tips and put them on the side. My device have been installed for 6~7 months with no issues.

[@Britty586]

@@DavidPerez-zb4vb thank you so much!

[@afeefshehada1691]

I got question I see you contacting some wire by cutting I asked the dealer they said if I cut any wire in this case I'll lose my warranty for my car is there any way to do it without cutting any wire ? Thanks

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

Afeef Shehada the wire that I cut is from the regular remote start module that have 12Volts. I didn’t want to cut any wires from the actual vehicle for the same reason of losing warranty.

[@charlesberkleyjr7433]

I too already installed the first module. How did you attach the 12 volt and ground wires to the existing harness?

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

I used a t-tap to any 12V and ground

[@mmarte1622]

David. Are you able to open the door and the car stays running? I just installed it to 2017 Highlander XLE. Still works the same the car shuts off when door opens. It's nice that I have a longer range..

[@mmarte1622]

Got the answer.. Thanks

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

Yeah it will shut off once you open a door. If you open the hatch/trunk it won’t shutoff, what I do is if I have to put something in the back I will go there first and then open the door, it will still shutoff once you open a door but you get a little more time

[@barrycrepeau8910]

Nice video , I added the MPC remote start to my 2019 Highlander and now considering the Smart App based on the limited range I have with my remote start, I see 2 Kits for the Smart Phone App . 1 for $199.95 and this one for $159.95. 1 kit has an Flash updated but if I have the MPC Remote start I only need the $159.95 model, is that what you used, I am getting conflicting info from MPC, 1 person said I dont need and another said I did ! Not very helpful. I just need to know what Kit I need to add Smart Phone App to my exisiting MPC remote start kit.

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

I got the one without the flash and it's still working.

[@barrycrepeau8910]

@@DavidPerez-zb4vb Thanks , I finally had someone @ MPC confirm I don't need the Flash updater !

[@barrycrepeau8910]

@@DavidPerez-zb4vb Why did you have to run the fused power ? I just got my kit today and in reviewing the instructions it states if you have a T Harness installed in your Evo all you don't need to feed the Power . Did you not have the T harness on your evo all or was it an older version wiring that you used in the original install ?

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

Barry Crepeau i didn’t have a T harness or I miss it. I might have an older version also.

[@rodulfol]

Which smartphone app did you buy? They have 2 models, one for $199 and the other for $159. I can't seem to find the difference. Do you know?

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

18OrangeGT I bought the one without the red module/ Flashlink updater (cheap one I think). I really don’t know the difference to be honest, but mine works great in my Highlander. I have a friend that have it in a Honda Accord (key to start) and he needed the Flashlink updater.

[@rodulfol]

@@DavidPerez-zb4vb thanks. I just installed the MPC remote start on my wife's 2017 Rav4 but now looking at the smartphone app. So you got the cheaper version and works great!

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

Correct. I got the cheap version and so far so good. Also I did the same, I got the regular remote start and then after a few weeks maybe a month I bought the smartphone module.

[@rodulfol]

I just saw this and since I purchased the remote start from them, I don't think I need the updater but I'll check with them anyway. Thanks again! This kit also includes a Flash Link Updater tool which allows you to use a Windows PC to set compatible options on your Fortin EVO-ALL or EVO-ONE Stand-Alone remote start system that was not purchased from MPC. If you purchased your remote start kit from MPC then we have already loaded the compatible options for you, so you will not need the Flash Link Updater tool. Contact MPC Tech Support for details.

[@reggiejackson5138]

What did you do with the yellow wire off of the Linkr that is used for alarm notification?

[@Baotran-nc4rl]

Hi friend! I try to connect and set up every thing right. But my phone don’t work . Do you have any idea. Thanks

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

Bao tran Hi, what exactly is not working?

[@Baotran-nc4rl]

On the phone GPS working. But I can’t start or stop. I’m check on Sevcive Status--- Device connecting is yellow not green

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

Bao tran that happened to me on my Camry and it was a bad connection but you also can contact their customer support and they are pretty good working with issues [e-mail]

[@Baotran-nc4rl]

Thank you so much

[@mansimransinghkahlon9532]

Hey can you start the car via this app and then unlock the car and open the driver door without having the car shutt off?

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

No, it will shut down as soon as you open one door. You can open the trunk but as soon as you open a door it will shut down

[@longnguyen3883]

Will this module let the car keep running after you open the door?

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

Long Nguyen unfortunately it doesn’t. This module doesn’t bypass that Toyota feature, once you open a door it shutdown. If you open the trunk without opening any doors it still runs but once you open a door to get in it shutdown again.

[@RaynierFamilia]

Hey broh ✋🏼. Other question. I see the app is in test mode. Do you know about how much is the cost of the service?

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

Raynier Familia the app is in Test Mode because it is intended for professional installers to use it that way and then release the app to the owner. Simple process and then you use the app normally. The only cost is the annual $39 for the service or $99 for 3 years.

[@RaynierFamilia]

David Pérez thank you broh

[@umer3418]

On website MPC says 1 Year free service. How much is the Smartphone App Remote service after that? Thanks.

[@robinhood5499]

Someone told me is $4 a month. I'm getting my too.

[@YourJoy]

40$ for one year 100$ for 3 years

[@PeacefulWarrior512]

Any idea why when trying to start my truck with the app, it shuts done in a few seconds. Evo One installed. Please and thank you.

PeacefulWarrior512 is this a new issue or it started right away after installing the cellphone module?

@@DavidPerez-zb4vb Yes sir right away. It locks, unlocks. But when i do the start, it starts and shuts down right away. GPS works too.

how install on toyota rav4 2016 push to start it same install?

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

I have no idea but it will be very similar I will think. They usually send you instructions for the specific car.

Broh i did the installation. But the configuration you dont show nothin. I test the car and went on but after i get out from the car to do it again the app dont let me do nothing

[@DavidPerez-zb4vb]

Raynier Familia what configuration are you talking about? The app? If is app go to minute 10:47

After i got back to the app came out something like device protocol and things like that. After that I couldn’t do nothing else. Im trying to delete the car but dont let me do it. It say call to a french number

Raynier Familia Mine have never done that. And it is weird that your phone don’t let you delete the app and reinstall it. I have send email to MPC directly and they have reply. Let me find the email address and I will share it with you
