Evo-One No Key take over, No Shutdown, Frying

Okay where to begin...

I have a customer with a 2011 Subaru Impreza (Manual) I installed Evo-One w/ RF 2-way kit. I have wiring installed exactly as the diagram on Fortin Site. Updated Firmware and Programming and Decrypter Steps were done successfully. After hooking up all connections and programming RF Kit, checked that keyless entry worked which it does. I tried to remote start but realized unit was not in ready mode (reservation mode) So i started the vehicle with key, pressed foot brake and engaged handbrake, pressed start button on 2 way remotes (got confirmations with parking lights) removed key and opened and closed door causing vehicle to shut off like it is supposed too. I remained in vehicle and tried to remote start vehicle and on first attempt did not start, assuming clutch wasnt grounded so i pushed clutch in on 2nd attempt and vehicle started and left vehicle running for about 10 minutes. I then attempted to do a key take over and remote start wouldnt disengage with foot brake, start button on RF remote, or even or shut down with a toggle switch I wired inline with hood pin switch. I had to remove primary harness from evo one to shut vehicle off. I reinstall the primary wire and vehicle goes straight into ignition with all lights on dash and a solid orange wire on unit. I went over a butch of test with Fortin Tech and he deemed my unit bad because what ever we he instructed didnt fix the unit power up the second you install primary harness, so i exchanged with distributor for a new one. I went to install new unit same exact thing is happening, Vehicle started ran, with me bypassing clutch again manually which is wired as in diagram but once again vehicle wont shut off. Im guessing it must be seeing foot brake signal threw CAN if it it does the ready mode (reservation mode) steps. What else can it be that shorting out the EVO-One??

There are 2 clutch switch on the vehicle, a white one, and a blue one. The correct one is the right which is the upper one. Verify your clutch connection, from what you are saysing, I think you are frying the module everytime you start with your feet on the clutch.

The clutch signal wire should be a negative, if by any chance you connected to a positive wire, then the second you step on the clutch you will short out the evo output wire for negative start ( white wire in the 20 pin connector) which will damage the evo which will present the symptoms you described.\

I do have it wired correct per your diagram, I am on the opposite of the negative side of clutch switch when ignition is turned on,  but i just realized isnt the diode in the diagram going in the wrong direction, not letting the current flow to the wire at vehicle? According to other installs i have done with diodes needed the diode face opposite direction . Seems that would explain why i am not getting clutch bypass on remote start unless I put engage clutch pedal my self.
Where does it show the diode on the diagram? Install instructions don't say the system requries a diode.. just relays?
