Yes. The transfer procedure is different for EVO-START LTE systems and EVO-START 2 and EVO-START 2 Duo systems. The EVO-START LTE system transfer procedure can be carried out directly via the application. No device transfer code is required. The EVO-START 2 system transfer procedure (Including EVO-START 2 Duo) requires obtaining a transfer code which must be obtained by the owner of the system. This code must be transmitted by the system owner to the new owner in order to complete the transfer. It is the responsibility of the owner of the system installed on the vehicle to ensure that the transfer process is completed in full to the new owner, including the deactivation of user access to the vehicle and/or the transferred system. Configuration, component replacement and/or installation fees may apply to reset, reconfigure and/or restart the EVO-START system for a new owner whose transfer of the system has not been fully completed by the previous owner. In the case of a vehicle transfer that includes the EVO-START system, the new owner is considered, by default, to be the legal entity taking over the vehicle at the time of transfer. Refer to the systems user manuals for detailed procedure. These manuals are available in the Resources section.
