Hello everyone,

I just purchased a Magnum SXT AWD a week ago and am considering to install a remote starter for my baby. I talked a service guy at the dealership and was advised that it would cost between CAD $450 to $500 (Mopar brand). It seems very expensive to me for a basic remote starter.

I have been researching and there are some nice high end ones available (e.g. 2 way, LCD, longer range…etc.). The only my concern is if those high end ones may compromise the security system and factory warranty on my car. The service guy from the dealership told me that only factory installed one will be covered by warranty if something goes wrong.

Does anyone have Mopar remote starter installed? I would much appreciate any inputs on this?

Thank you!

 

it's too late for a "factory" installed one, but you can get a dealer installed Mopar one. the best part about "dealer installed options" is they are fully warrantied through chrysler. the aftermarket one could void out your electrical system warranty if anything should go wrong.

pay the extra money and get the system designed for you car and fully warrantied at the dealer. you won't regret it.
