There's a hole behind the floor cup holder that where I put mine.

Why haven't I done this yet??? Lol
I didn't see anyone post this in any of the 15 pages of messages on this topic but when you hit the lock three times I expected it to start right away and it doesn't. Give it about 10 seconds, it will start.
I'm actually glad it does that. I've gotten in the habit of doing that when I start my truck, turning it to on for a few seconds and then starting. The truck seems to start better and more smoothly for some reason.

does anyone ever get an extra beep once in a while after starting?

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've been having the same problems with mine plus a few other. Just ordered my dball today! Can't wait to rip out the old one and put this in. Does anyone know how to add the start by phone feature? Does it just require adding the smart start box?
The DBALL works exactly like the factory remote start except it only costs like $55-$60 without the plug-n-play T-harness which is another $25-$30.
I say works just like factory because it starts the truck, and heats, cools, or defrosts as long as you have those turned on when you leave the truck.
The only difference between the factory one and the DBALL is with the DBALL, you use your existing door remote and press the lock button 3 times to start the truck. With the factory one you get new factory remotes that have a start button.
The factory one also has to be flashed by the dealer and the DBALL is plug-n-play.
I bought the T-harness and the install was literally plug it in, program it to the truck with a couple of button presses and zip-tie it under the dash. It all of 10 minutes and I was done.
It was great getting into a nice warm truck all winter.

It must be flashed into the computer as when you start with factory remote it will not even show the display on the climate control and you could have it set completely wrong and it decides. I.e. set to hot but cold is needed. Pretty crazy really.
