I saw one of those while I was shopping for remote starts today. Pretty sweet setup and technology
they have now. Didnt need all that just needed a remote start/keyless entry and starter kill.

 

Yeah that is all I really need as well, but me being so damn stubborn will probably end up dishing out the rediculous ammounts of money for the alarm/ remote start.. I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff! lol

 

Its a grey Key.
and i was told that those alarm start combos with the screen on the remote break really easy. and it cost $150 to replace them. so i went with a two way remote which lights up and beeps to tell me if it is working or not. when i lock it it beeps twice and unlock it it beeps once. when i start it it beeps once and a couple times i think if it don't start.

 

that is not ture. My 05 has a grey key, my dads 03 has a grey key, and moms 05 caravan has a grey key. But it is true that the grey key has a chip in it, a black key doesnt have a chip in it. Oh and i got a 2-way one with the little lcd screen in the keychain, it has 3 year warranty on it, so if it breaks easy im sure it would do it in 3 years. Like the options of it and being able to start at 1 mile away range.

 

I have a Viper two way pager and it only cost me $400 installed . I have a 03 hemi QC and this system did not need an extra key. My keys do not have a chip in them. I am not sure why he asked for the extra key if it does not have a chip. The purpose behind the extra key ,only if it has a chip, is to use it with the remote starters ECU . It goes inbeded in the unit so that your trucks ECU will have that chips frequence to read when you hit the remote start. In order for a vehicle , with a chip, to start it needs to sence your keys code before it permits the ecu to send the current to the starter. That is as simple as I can explane it. My alarm system also has the remote start with it and did not need the extra interfaze. My advice is you ask the installer to show you where the key is being placed. Just remember it is you right to know. Don't let them give you **** like saying it is not something they can't show you. The truck is yours, the alarm is yours, and the key is yours. So have them show it to you and where it will be installed . I say this cause I have installed these remotes my self for some time and have not yet come across a system that needs a key for a non- chiped -ignition vehicle. Do youself a favor and find out first if it has a chip or not . If it doesn't go to another shop and ask before you get one installed . Spend the extra dogh on the Viper or audiovox two waypager alarm and remote start in one . They have much more range (up to 1500') and you can get rid of the stock keyless entrypod and have one unit for both alarm and remote start. Good luck and hope you resolve this. Pm me if you have any questions.

 

I hate for this to be my first post but I'm guessing from the thread that an 06' remote start system found on the 'Bay such as this one 250053224391 (Ebay Item number) will not work with 02-05 models?
