If it happens to be an 05 be prepared to buy another key from the dealer or just use one. On my wifes they had to "bury" a key near the ignition to bypass the factory security. I think it was about $100 for a valet key (no unlock/lock buttons) just a key with the required chip in it for the truck to start. Used Dealer Automotive Services in Hopkins and was happy.

it is a 02 with no chip.

Exactly. If you bury a key its basically disarming the factory theft system.

With the module it will keep the security system and the remote start will work just fine.

If I were to get a remote start put in, I would go to mach1 and get a viper installed.

Deadeye,

I'm unsure what 18 inch wrote as it was zapped. It looks like he may have commented on burying the key?

I was told by several places that on that vehicle (2005 and only certain VINS from tha year) their was no module possible, key had to be buried. One actually showed me a note from Dodge stating this.

Any idea if that is the case or was I mislead? Not that it really matters now.

I've got a Viper remote start/alarm in a diesel for 8 years now and it's worked flawless.

The other two diesels have Python 871 2 ways and they work great as well.

Each system was put in at the place that went belly up for around $500 each. The Excursion was a bit more though with the PATS and diesel wait to start light. Had to have another key cut, programmed by Ford and installed under the dash.

The two way is really nice because you know when they start although they eat batteries very often. I've tried the most expensive AAA's and still can only manage a few months out of each battery. The single way Viper on the other hand has only needed one battery replacement.

My wife likes the remote start in her X a lot.
