I'm looking into this, and can't quite find the solution. So far there are no supported aftermarket kits, and no Mopar kit.
From what I can tell, if you get a truck with RKE, you will have RF hub 68319677AA. FCA only lists two other RF hubs, one is with manual trans, and the other is for Keyless enter n go. The only other thing you need that I can find is a hood switch, or a 1k ohm jumper between pins 1 and 2 on the grey connector under the PDC. It's the front end module side of the I120 connector that needs to be populated. The harness on the body side goes to the BCM and should be fully populated, same part number is used on all truck configurations.
After that the hood switch diagnostic has to be enabled and the sales code has to be added, or you should be able to configure the bits manually with a developer tool. So far I get the RF hub to recognize the remote, the IPC lights up, BCM appears to be receiving the signal and should be sending a start command, but there is no start. I think something is still missing in the BCM, as there is no headlight flash with the remote start button. There are no messages for Remote Start abort/inhibit, so it's probably a BCM setting that's missed.
So, has anyone tried this so far and been able to get it to work with the dealer setting the XBM sales code? I hate going to the dealer, but I just might have to.
