Just bought my first new Dodge. 2017 Challenger R/T Scat Pack. Loving it so far, only had it a couple days. Was surprised to find it didn't have remote start. I was standing in the dealership and looked at the keys and didn't see the x2 and said no way! I was looking at chargers and they all had remote start. I just ASSumed....
Waiting to here back from the dealer to find out if he can/will install it. I found a part number online. Dodge website doesn't list it under dealer installed options.

 

They can install. My son bought an R/T last year. The dealer installed remote start would have cost him @$800. He said never mind....

 

Does your son have a 2017? I wonder if something may have changed for the 17's

 

2016 and I don't think anything has changed as far as the remote start functionality. You can ask the dealer.

 

The dealer said the best they could do was aftermarket that will work with my fob for $550

 

As a suggestion only, I would shop around to see what may also be available. And more than likely you will also find a better install price too.

 

Thanks. I haven't actually talked to anyone at the dealership yet, all correspondence has been through email so far. I am currently waiting on a reply as to which aftermarket remote they use, then I can start shopping around.

 

Found a local dealer that said he can put in the Mopar remote. $290 & calls for 2 hr labor

 

Glad to read you found a better deal.

 

Any aftermarket shop can install remote start for you.
