They all insisted that the mopar remote start was a piece of junk, NOT TRUE!!! Codesystems actually makes the unit and it is fully intergrated into the truck, in my case with the sentry key. I ordered the following parts: 82209082 (sentry key interface), 82208863AD (Installation kit; loom wire, antenna, starter fobs, instructions, hood switch), 82208859 (remote start "computer"). I also tried to order 82209985, its the new TWO WAY fm upgrade for the system as it lets you know when the vehicle starts and also increases range from the standard 800feet to 2000feet. Unfortunatly this part was over the part guy's head, he tried to order it but was not able to for some reason. I tried a few other places to order it too but everyone just gave me a look like I was out of my mind. I ended up getting someone off ebay to order it for me, can't wait for it to arrive. The install was pretty straight forward. Just make sure you have both keys inorder to program the sentry interface. It also seems that the AD kit has the upgraded hood switch, which is very handy. Overall I am quite happy with the system, there are just a few shortcomings.

The good
---------
-factory interface with sentry key
-6 wires to splice
-hood switch
-30 second delay to run grid heater

The bad
--------
-honks when you start it
-lights come on even when the park brake is set when started (i can see having the park lights come on, but the headlights come on too)
-no way to keep it running by pressing a button when you get out (you have to take your key out and then press the button to restart)

All in all its a very good system for dodge rams with an automatic transmission. I am very happy with it, and glad to have it as it was a xmas present from my parents.
