I am finding not just Google but all search engines to be worthless when it comes to anything involving my truck, so I turn to you looking for answers.
I am looking at putting in a remote start in my 05 Ram 1500 and a lot of them have alarms/anti-theft, and compatibility issues or need specific modules(ie. Bypass Module), relays.
So, as the title states, what anti-theft system is in a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500? or does anyone have product suggestions for a Remote Start System? Does it have security ignition protection

Seems I expect to much from our every gadget is connected life.
I would have thought that Dodge/Chrysler something .com would have had the answer

 

Not so much, they really don't care about your 12yr old truck lol. Depends on whether you have a black key or gray key. Black key is no SKIM, gray key is chipped for SKIM (Security Key Immobilizer Module).

 

not any more but it was on the net at somepoint
damn, thank you, because I was under the impression that mine had standard keys(no clue as to where I got that idea) , black keyfob, gray key, so a bypass module will be needed

 

Probably got the idea just because it was a normal key without anything attached to it, they didn't phase in those combined key and fob sets until later. They didn't change the fob color, just the key. Keep in mind this only applies to OEM keys. Yes, you will need a bypass module. There used to be a factory remote start kit for the 05 but not likely you could find the pieces (two parts, both discontinued). I lucked out and found both for my Charger, as it was that took a few months of looking. I'm stuck with aftermarket if I want it for truck or Magnum.
