Start-X Remote Starter Kit for RAM 1500, 2500, 3500 (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017) Trucks | Key Ignition | Plug & Play Install | Lock 3X to Remote Start | Zero Wire Splicing

I ordered this unit for my 2015 Ram 1500, and it arrived within 2 days. I went through the setup process (easy if you pay close attention to the steps) and brought the module inside to finish programming on the computer with the supplied USB connector. The unit would not flash. I called customer service and was connected to a tech in minutes. He walked me through the process, including the download for the final program, and realized I had a bad module quite quickly. He asked me to send a picture of the module, which i promptly did, and he immediately sent me a replacement. Worked perfectly. Do NOT spend $100's of dollars to have a remote starter installed by a shop! This unit is exactly what you would pay $700 +/- for at a fraction of the cost, and works perfectly. It uses the factory tip key as the remote, thus giving you much more range for the startup. I highly recommend this product, and the customer service is top notch! It required very little dismantling (pull the dash panel off), and took all of 30 minutes to program and install. I am duly impressed! I found the instructions clear and concise, as long as you follow them to the letter. Best bang for the buck you can find!

I just installed it today, and so far it's working perfectly. The installation took me maybe 20 minutes, the longest part probably being the software install and flash on my laptop. It's cheap, it's straightforward, and it's exactly as it is described. I'm happy with the product.

installed in 40 minutes total time - installing - programing and put everything back together. Worked perfectly - just follow the directions.

I can’t believe how easy this was to install and program! Maybe 30 minutes from start to finish with programming.

Is about 10 months using this and most of the time works fine. Was easy to install. Is working fine. Few things that i found: *While truck was running, i unlocked the doors and i opened the left rear door and truck stopped. Not sure if that supposed to happen. *One other time i found my truck running and locked and i never started in the first place, so not sure at this point what happened. *As for if you have the truck running from the remote, and then you open the door the truck should stop in 45 sec. if you do not doing nothing (i mean put the keys in the ignition and turn it on, and foot on the brake pedal) - this never worked for me, will try again and update this if it works as their manual say. >But 95-98% works as it should.

I was tired of living like a mere peasant. I bought this remote start for my 2016 RAM 1500 to upgrade my status from mere peasant to normal mortal. This Start-X provided me with the social upgrade I was after. Highly recommend!!! Actual time to install from removal of dash and to reassemble and test was 20 minutes. Great product. Thank you Start-X for the social upgrade.

Installed on a 2017 Ram 1500 CC with Tip Key. I have never installed a remote start kit.. I know the basics of vehicles, so this wasn’t incredibly hard. If you know the basics, I would save the money and do it yourself. Shoot, even if you don’t, save the money and DIY- it’s not hard at all. 1st off, I had to buy a used dell laptop from OfferUp since it’s not supported for Mac laptops, which kind of sucked. However, that was probably way cheaper than getting it professionally installed. 2nd, the instructions kind of sucked.. I had to re-read the instructions a few times since they were vague. Once understood, the install was a breeze. I had no hiccups during install. In fact, this is the easiest and smoothest aftermarket install I’ve ever done on any vehicle. Make sure you use internet explorer or else it’ll say it’s not compatible. I’d recommend this product to anybody wanting to do a DIY install. It’ll take a little bit to get used to starting it, but I’m so excited. Being in Arizona, it’ll be nice to have remote start during 115+ summers and below 32 winter mornings. I never had to reach out to customer service or re flash the device. Just make sure you thoroughly follow the directions. My biggest complaint and improvement to the developer would be better instructions and to have an installation video guide to go along with. Update: I have since downgraded to a 1 star. After 3 months, suddenly my ECU did not recognize both of my key fobs. This messed with my computer system and left me stranded several times. Once I removed the product, my truck started working fine. It also caused computer glitches to have my truck driving at 5500 RPM at 45mph. Not sure what was going with this product.

Works perfectly as of now. Had to try programming a couple times but overall very easy to install. Don't have to go out early to warm truck up now.
