Got my unit today and I must be some kind of complete dummy because I am following the directions to the T and I can't get the damn lights to flash blue rapidly after inserting the key and turning it to the ON position. When they say turn it to the ON position, do they mean actually STARTING the Jeep or just the regular ON where your radio turns on? Either way, the lights stay a solid blue and never flash. So, I can never get to the part where I turn the key OFF and then press Lock on my key.
I called Fortin tech support (Canada) and the guy asked me to read off my Service # from the bottom of the unit. He looked it up and it said it was NOT programmed for Standalone functionality and I would need that Flashlink updater to fix it. I emailed Car Alarm Depot to inquire about my situation. Waiting for a response...
FRUSTRATING...and I'm a pretty savvy IT guy.

Yea just sounds like they didn't program it. I would have them send you the flash link for free and play around with it yourself. Who knows you might find something's in it you want to change it add. Might be some cool features we are missing out on.

Lol I love when IT people say that bout themselves. I wind up having to fix it for them. I'm not saying you aren't or don't know what your doing. I'm really not. It just made me think of that.
