What was the issue and how did you fix it?
Couldn't get the solid blue light. Verified all my harness connections, then reset my module. Process went smoothly thereafter

Mine does the same, I just checked. I will write to Fortin and see what they say, and update you.Just signed up for this forum to say this worked great on my '17 GT save for one issue I can't figure out... When I remote start, the lift gate won't open from the key fob. It will open manually, but I'd like to be able to use the fob to open the lift gate after remote starting. Anyone else run into/resolve this issue?

All 4 windows need to be reset individually by rolling it down all way and holding it there for a couple of seconds, and rolling it up all the way back up and holding it there for a couple of seconds.I bought the three fortin components from amazon, they arrived yesterday. I am a little nervous about installing as I am new to doing this type of work on a car. My car is a 2019 CX-9 T. Just want to make sure that I won't have issues after installation, such as issues with windows or using trunk liftgate remotely? Can anyone verify this for me? Thanks in advance.
At work i must be about 350 feet from the car ( very rough estimate) and it starts with no issues. You need to be able to see the car lights to confirm if it has registered the lock-unlock command though. Otherwise you are just guessing and hoping it started. If you don’t have line of sight you probably need a two-way remote that will confirm to you the car had started.
That’s great. Dealer definitely overcharge for those accessory install. The phone app is perfect for when hou park 5-6 block away. Even if the oem remote would reach, you probably wouldn’t be able to know if it was successful until you walked up to the car.
Can you give me details I what exactly you purchased and what the cost was? also do you have to pay any subscriptions for the app?Hi all,
I finally just got my remote start installed. Consequently I did not go w/ fortin but Viper and the smart start. They were running a promotion on the shop where I went and haggled a bit and got all for $320 Which allows me to start my car with the oem fobs, and also the viper smart start app which allows you start the cx9 from anywhere in the world in addition to lock/ unlock, rear lift gate, etc. so far I am very pleasEd and I guess it’s cheaper than mazda who wanted $550 plus taxes for remote start.

When you say Drone Mobile, is that the same as the Evo Start 2 antenna?Installed the Fortin on my 2019 Touring. All went smooth EXCEPT for one thing. After learning the key code the remote start would not work. Called Fortin and they had me try my 2nd remote and it worked. Apparently the Fortin module will only recognize the codes of the 1st and 2nd remotes that are programmed into the system so if you have 4 remotes for the car only the first 2 that are stored in the cars memory will control the auto start even though they function with the car correctly. I have the software to program fobs so I erased all the strored fobs, there were 3 of them stored, programmed the 2 fobs that I have and now the remote start works with both fobs. Next up is the installation of the Drone Mobile module so I can remote start from my phone.
