Ok so kit came today, one day late, I assume cause of weather. No biggie. Took like maybe 90 mins start to finish from unboxing to walking back into house with a huge smile on my face. Hardest part, cleaning up wires, lol.
Well worth the money. Only thing I didn't do is connect parking lights wire. The BCM doesn't have much space, anyone know where else I can grab a wire with a lot more room to work with?

The newer trucks required more/upgraded components to work. Thread started with earlier model years. Still worth every penny!

Is it just me or is the verbiage extremely hard to follow? All of these part numbers and mumbojumbo is making my head spin. Im a Network Engineer, and I hear abbreviations all day and read technical write ups but, man.. I feel like I can't wrap my head around this enough to pull the trigger.. lol

If you are looking to install remote start with OEM Key Fob with pushing lock button three times then you will have to purchase 4X10/5X10.
They will have to change the title to over $100 because the DBALL2 is no longer available for install New Dodge models. They have started a new web site and you need to be an installer to obatin the firmware down load for your vehicle.

Doug should get back to you from EBay as I just spoke with him last week and ordered the above model kit for $179. He is a great guy and will answer your questions. He will send you the password to down load the firmware to the unit and then you program the unit to your specific vehicle and then return to the compter and the web site confirms the install and your allset. The wiring harness comes with the install and if you need the Xloader2 that has to be purchased also which is a USB loasder that loads the program to the 4X10.
I installed the 4X10 on my 2015 Ram 1500 Big Horn and it works great should take you about 45minutes to an hour to install this kit.
all in all this is a great plug and play unit and better install then trying to install the factory OEM remote starter from Chrysler.

Not so sure about how much wear will be put on the door locks. The last place I want to go is Ziebart.

So figured id do a little write up on how to put in a remote start on any 4th gen ram for under $100, well im not sure about the diesels, it might be different?

So for all this you will need:
Xbpresskit Combo DBALL
CHTHD1 T-Harness
You can get it flashed for your correct model, sending them an email with your model and desired application, and they will flash it.
Screwdriver
10 minutes of your time



STEP 1:
Take off the knee pad underneath the steering wheel, theres 2 screws on the bottom

after taking those out, just pull up and it will pop off, set that on the floor.

Whew, hard parts over, lotsa work.

Step 2: look at key insert and you will see that there is one plug in on the back of it. you can unplug it by depressing the top clip and pulling
You will then need to take the CHTHD1 harness, plug the male plug you just pulled out, into the female connector on it, and plug the male from the CHTHD1 harness into the key insert box. then plug the Red male connector into the DBALL xpress box.

Step 3: the DBALL xpress box will be RED, plug your keyfob into the key slot, turn it to ON, it will flash green, take it out and it will turn solid green. It is now programmed.

Press lock 3 times, and your truck will start! press it 3 more times and it will turn off.

Put your kneeboard back on put in the screws, and your good to go.

Hopefully this was helpful, maybe a few people will get some use out of it!


Thanks for the info!

Remite start

Could anyone help me out with a parts list for the remote start on a 2015 model, I purchased the listed parts but the t harness was not correct. Does anyone have the correct harness part #?

Not reading through all this... but you can take the unit to a Best Buy to get it flashed in case you have issues... just throw the installer some cash. We do this for lunch money whenever someone comes in.
