I tried the install on the dodge dart and it went fine until i noticed that after the car has been remotely started you can no longer use the key fob to lock or unlock doors you have to use the metal key to manually get in and put the key in and if u take it out the motor wont shut off until you press the break i didnt try to drive it around then take the key out to see if that stops the motor but when i look on the xpresskits website in the flashing process when you choose 3x start without the smart key it says that is a normal feature of the firmware that u can only get in with a manual key after its started....did any of you guys experience this with your standard key on the the ram not the push button start kind

Odd it must be something with the firmware when you do the install on darts i read on xpresskits website that it will be able to start your carr but then the security on the car overrides the key fob so u have to use your manual key to get in and thats normal on darts for now kind of a pain but ill probably just take it off and get a factory one at this point also i know this is random and probably wont do much good on a ram forum but just a heads up if you guys own dodge darts if you disconect the battery at all it throws a check engine light u1504 or u1540 i cant remember witch but i guess thats normal nowbin these new cars and it goes away after about 40 miles of driving you can not clear it with a scan tool

I want this but apparently the price is back up to $219.95 from being down to $169.95 a few days ago? Any ideas why? Was there some sort of special I missed?

$220 is approaching the point of not being worth it for a do it yourself system. Isn't the dealer installed remote start with two new key fobs $250?

The hardware for the factory remote start is that much.. But to have them install it I was quoted $800.
I love my dball and unless I tell you people can't remote start because they don't know it's there

Has anyone had a problem where after programming the dball2 flashes red 7x on start command? I've tried this like 8 times already and about to throws in the towel. They stopped allowing 3x lock start to be programed but I flashed it the day before they made the change. Grr

I had that happen a few times because I was screwing up the part where you turn the key, remove the key, put it in and turn it again.
I was going past "run" to "start" and actually cranking the motor when I was turning the key. Once I just turned it to "run" not "start" the programming worked and I was able to hook it back up to the computer to set the code it generated.

Would this work as well? Seems pretty cheap and does the 3xlock to start... Says everything is included to do it.

even though it says to '14 that will not work. the firmware and the harness are different from 09-12 to 13-14.

idatalink (maker of flashlogic) hasnt released a quick t-harness for the 13+ ram.

look into the dball and its t-harness.

So many options!

Like this then? I don't want to go cheap on something that won't last, but there's many options and of course some people are out to make more than others on the same items.
