2018 2500 Alarm install
I just put a deposit on a new 2018 Ram 2500 tradesman and I'm waiting to hear from the shipper. So I started looking for what all was involved with installing an alarm with remote start on this truck.
I'm Looking at the Viper 5806V, however since its a brand new truck I would prefer not to have to tap a bunch of wires. looks like the T-cables are only good til 2017?????
Also I figure I need a Dball2 or idatalink for the remote start aspect.
I know somebody has to have a similar setup already just coming up short on info online.

Factory system does not compare to the aftermarket alarms as far as adaptability. I really needed the distance and wanted the 2-way that the viper and other brands have. Just trying to figure out what is all needed to make this work with all the new computer stuff a new truck comes with.
I live in south florida so an alarm is almost a must, and the only local shop I would trust to do it decided it was time to close shop so the guy could retire. Most of the immobilizer companies are pretty hush on info too.

Well truck came in, after looking online and pricing parts and putting it down on paper I was in for $400+. Found a mobile guy out of Miami that will do something similar using Excalibur parts for $650 and have it hooked to my phone. For that price it's not worth it to do especially when he will come to my house.
