I'm seriously contemplating tearing out my factory starter and installing one of these in my truck.. This damn factory starter doesn't work right half the time. The truck starts, then quits seconds later. Repeats 4x then shuts down completely..

I don't think you'd have to go through the trouble of taking the factory one out for this to work since this one would just use the lock button and not the start button.

Did you put the key in and turn it to the "On" position then turn it off and take the key out, then press the lock button?

Yes I did.. When the key is in the on position, the light is off. When I take out the key and press lock 3 times, it flashes green and the little box starts making like a ticking noise.

Did you specify to the person you ordered from the exact usage and vehicle model its for? If not it will not be programmed for any specific vehicle

I have heard that firmware for the 2013 should be available around the 15th of this month. Fingers crossed.

I just installed this on my new 2012 Ram ST. I love it! I spent more time trying to get the connectors disconnected in the T harness than I did on the actual install!

My question, how did you attach the unit under the dash?? Zip ties, double sided sticky tape, Velcro.....?

Double sided tape for me, over on the inside of the panel by my right foot.
