if you want the key fob set up you are looking at around 400.00. that to do away with keys altogether. there is a company that sell the set up that is in the nissan and infinity's. there are fob scanners where some one could scan you module and get in like that but i dont think some one would suspect this setup on a ram.

I wired it up so you can also start it normally but turning the key all the way.
Did you take any pictures of your install. What did you use to secure the button in the cigarette lighter?

Does anyone know does the SRT-10 still need the key? The pictures I've seen it still does, and ALLData showed an ignition switch.

yes the push button start does need a key. the srt-10 button basically taps into a 12v power and to the solid yellow wire. most people with the 04,05 use the cig for the 12v. here is a write up from dodge talk with pics

Ya gotta have the key to unlock the steering wheel, so unless you take the column apart and remove the locking mechanism, you can't steer it without the key.

oklahemi is right, you just run wires from your yellow ignition wire and from a 12v power source. and the Ignited button i used secured itself to the bezel, if you get it, you will see what i am talking about. and yes, as i said, you need the key to turn on the vehicles electronics, and unlock the steering column. It's really quite pointless, but I wanted it for looks haha. It's different from anything anyone had where I live.
And no, I did not take any pictures. It was quite simple so I figure I didn't need to show in detail what I did...Sorry!

Does anyone know if doing this voids any part of the warranty?

I didnt see anyone mention it, so I'm sorry if it had already been asked.

i dont know how kindly they would take to you cutting the starter wire. but it was a factory standard on the srt-10 trucks. the might install one for you for a hefty fee. you could always use the wire taps so you wont actually cut anything and you could take it out if you needed to

Yeah, still have warranty. Thats the same thing I was thinking. My dad is on the line at a Chrysler dealer. So, if it really would cause a problem doing it myself, i can just have him do in the shop when he has spare time. We'll see I guess.
