I added Remote Start, Keyless Enter-N-Go and Push-button Start on my '21 Classic Tradesman, and probably spent ~$800 or so, including custom harnesses from forum member @DoughRat19. Remote Start only would of course be a fraction of that, and probably the easiest of the three to install.

Keyless Enter-N-Go required taking all four doors apart (to install receivers and replace the door handles), and I ended up removing all of my seats for better access to run the required harnesses. It also required some re-pinning up under the dash. Definitely the most expensive and complicated of the three mods, but also the most satisfying mod I've done yet.

Look at this thread…if you already have AlfaOBD, the security bypass cable and the OBD reader it’s pretty simple if you have the skills:


I did mine in one afternoon, and that included swapping out the hood latch for one with the switch needed for remote start (yours might already have it).

Is the write up above, and parts, the same for the 2020 1500 Classic? I can't think of a reason they would be different, but figured I'd ask the experts first. I am looking to add factory remote start to my 2020 Classic SLT. I do have Alpha OBD.

Edit, I can't see the pics in the above write up. Is it me or they gone?

Check out this video, step by step push button/remote start instructions with links to all of the parts needed. Including AlfaOBD, about $300 total.
