EVolution D5 Controller ID Guide

EVolution uses three different models of Evolution-branded controllers in their D5 vehicles. It’s important to know which model is in your vehicle, as this determines the equipment needed to access and adjust the controller's settings. Below, we will show the different types of controllers and how to identify which one you have.

1. Access & Identify The Controller

The controller on the D5 is mounted under the rear seat bottom cushion, just forward of the rear axle. The easiest way to access and inspect the controller is by removing the rear seat bottom cushion. You won’t need any tools—simply pull up on each of the two front corners of the seat cushion, and they will pop loose. Once both latches are released, the cushion should lift up and slide out or off.

With the cushion removed or lifted, the controller will be located on the passenger side of the vehicle. On some models, the label is mounted on the underside, facing the ground, making it a bit tricky to view. In these cases, we recommend using a cellphone camera—extend your arm down and snap a photo to read the label.

 

2. Check the controller model number
The model number can be found on the product label located on the side of the controller. Typically, it is on the same side as the 35-pin multi-connector, but in some cases, it may be on the opposite end. EV48-400-C Model Shown Above.
