Ive had a remote starter sitting around that was for my old truck and i never put it on. So I thought id dig it out and see if it would work on my truck. Turns out of course it won't without a bunch of relays and resistors and such. So im abondoning the idea of trying to get the right stuff to make it work. I already have factory keyless entry and I don't want an alarm. I simply want strictly remote start with nothing fancy except good range and a delay for the heaters. Im thinking about the Mopar starter and was wondering if anyone has added one themselves and how hard the install is. I really don't want to let the dealer install it and would probably only go with the Mopar if I could do it myself. Otherwise I will probably go aftermarket but still would rather do it myself. Any comments would be great. I did search the topic and got a lot of good info but the '06 issue wasn't addressed much. Thanks.

 

Not sure about the starter, but the security bypass kit is the way too go, ALL reputable dealers should have it, the place i deal with says it is about 300 cdn installed, so thats like 270 US.

 

Dont do the factory dodge unit, my gf had one on her Jeep,, what a POS. Never worked right. I put a viper on her new Commander, seems ok so far. I have the Astrostart on my truck, been good for 3 years now. I wish I would have found mine for that price ram, if you can get it for that I would say that is the way to go.

morkable, that was just for the security by-pass module, not yet including the starter

 

I have a Mopar unit on my truck and it works very well. The farthest I have used it to start truck was at a sled pull this summer from at my best guess was 350yds away from me you couldn't hear the horn honk but I could see the lights it did start the truck. It has a 30 sec. delay which at times seems to long but ittakes longer than 30 sec. to get to my truck after work when i hit the button to start it. So its usually running when I get to it.
