Start-X Remote Starter Kit for RAM 1500, 2500, 3500 (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017) Trucks with Key Ignition | Plug & Play Install | Use Your OEM Key Fob | 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 can’t believe how easy this was to install and program! Maybe 30 minutes from start to finish with programming. You do jump around in the instructions a bit, but it’s incredibly easy, just follow the instructions. Downloading the firmware was easy.

I’ve seen reviews of where customers talk about how long it took them to install this product or the issues they’ve faced during the install. I took the time to read the instructions 3-4 times before I started the process of installing it. It literally took me 10 minutes to install it without any issues or hiccups. I also downloaded the software required to flash the lil black box. I honestly think that’s what help me to cut down on time of the install. It is so easy to use, it is completely compatible with my 2016 Ram 1500. The wiring is not at all complicated. I can honestly say that this is worth every penny I’ve spent on this product. I’m so happy with this purchase. I used Microsoft Edge I know some videos say to install Internet Explorer but I did not have any issues with Microsoft Edge Web Browser.

I bought this as a gift for my father. The install was pretty strait forward. You have to do a download to the device and then reinstall it. I'm not super savvy with that kind of thing but it went well and works great. For the price and about an hour of your time it's a good deal. Watch a video of install and it goes easy.

Had it installed and setup in less than 30 minutes . So easy to use I will be using this on all my vehicles going forward. It over half off compared to taking it somewhere to have it done

I was skeptical but it actually works for my RAM 1500 V8 SLT with key ignition (not button ignition) The instructions aren’t wrong. If you’re even slightly experienced in reading car related instructions then the instructions are fairly “normal” in my opinion. However I think they could add a bit more description to the written instructions. For example, the module has multiple ports and it becomes obvious which ports you need to connect to by matching the connectors to the port with correct number of pins but there was no pic to match it to. The videos definitely helped so please watch them. Helpful tips for general audience: 1) I took my time installing. Overall it was actually quick and if I did it a second time it’d take me no more than 10 minutes. 2) I brought my laptop to the truck and used hotspot to connect to the application you have to install in order to avoid going back inside. 3) after install, managing the slack wires and the module is important because it will hang low. If I didn’t suspend the module with the zip ties so that it stays “closer to steering column” then it’d fall right in front of the floor heating/cooling vent… which is probably not a good idea. Overall happy with the product.

Works great on dodge 3500

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.

Highly recommended! Installs quickly and easily and is also easy to program. The entire install and programming process took me about half an hour and I am no expert..

Installed on a Ram 1500. Product is extremely easy to install. I spent 20-30 minutes start to finish. Install guide is written well, but video links provided in the manual are even better with step by step walkthrough with audio. All wires are inline connections, no need to hack your factory wiring harness. Everything tucks up nearly under my steering wheel. You do need access to a computer (PC or Mac) so you can flash the start module using a USB port. I highly recommend this product. A+++

(1 month update) Functionality ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ease of installation ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kept registering my 2017 ram sport as a 2015 classic. I had to mess around with it in the weblink but you can figure it out if that happens. It definitely works though. The dash says “key in ignition” when the doors are closed and the trucks locked, and it says “door open” right after that but it’s not bothersome if you’re not in the truck. 1 month update: the command start still works, I’ve noticed the fob is a hit or miss for the command start, it does not work everytime you try to start it easily, it takes multiple attempts to start. (Still works) sometimes the truck doesn’t lock for multiple attempts, I’ve had to use my key twice to open my door. when you enter the fob to drive the truck after you start with the fob it’s a straight 50/50 if it actually turns over or shuts off on you when you put it in gear. It’s not ideal but not a bad trade off for the Alberta winters to have a warm vehicle lol. I plan to resync it again eventually.

Instructions were pretty straight forward. Easy enough install, didn’t take long. Took a few tries to get it to connect but it said if that was the case to just restart the process and after a few tries it worked. Downloading the “software” or whatever it’s called to program it didn’t take as long as I thought and the second I started the programming it took no more than 5 minutes. Went out to plug it in and worked like a charm.

It’s worth for money I installed on 2014 ram 1500 it’s working perfectly fine and easy to install
