WAIT! REMOTE START AND FACTORY ALARM?!? All over the mopar parts websites is says that each one isnt compatible with the other. I dont get it .... unless it has something to do with the 2005 model year.

Well mine is an 2007. If i lock the truck with the key fob while i'm inside and i open the door, the horn start blasting and the lights flashing. So i got a factory alarm!!!!

Same exact keys and setup I have, I think it may have been an 07 thing? Its the Sentry Key System and Factory Alarm with the Remote Start.

Yeah, must be for the 07s. With the 05 remote start, I would actually have to get a seperate little module to put on my keychain with one button and a blue LED.

an aftermarket "add on" remote start is like 80 bucks to buy at almost any directed electronics dealer. I have installed hundreds of them. you will still need the vehicle bypasses and relays if it has an alarm. install would probably be around 100 if you brought it to me. I am sure those prices are pretty competitive in your area.

then to start your truck, you would just press the lock button twice, and as long as you were in range, it would remotely start.

Thats good news you can use the existing key fob Eric. I would hate to carry around another key fob or something to remote start.

My viper alarm/remote start has a 2-way paging "fob" that reaches over half a mile.


I dont mind the extra fob, I have a few keys on the ring, so the extra fob just fits right in. lol
