I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie. It does have the grey key, which I'm assuming has a chip in it. I've seen various remote starts from $30 to $500 so I'm really not sure what I need to buy...I've heard of Viper, python, and Clifford, but there's so many different ones that I'm clueless as to which one I need. Any help is much appreciated!

 

You will need one with the sentry bypass. Pretty much depends on what other bells and whistles you want. (alarm, etc)

 

I really just want one that can do as much as it can for $300 or less

 

Then start researching the aftermarket suppliers you mentioned. You won't get a factory one for that price.

 

Viper 2-way in my '05. It was just under 400 installed back then.

Did the Viper LED for a Sebring with the chip key. The fob is not as reliable as the regular 2-way. The start button broke off the circuit board on me. Had to buy another.
