Can anyone point me to the thread explaining the remote start installation using the hood latch ajar sensor/harness, new key fobs(5 button) and alphaobd? The truck is a 2021 Ram 2500 tradesman 6.4l no hood latch sensor currently on the truck? Where do I need to start?

This talks about an issue after the fact. Maybe someone there could help you.

I installed the remote Starter X from amazon. Only cost like 150 bucks, extremely simple to install, took maybe 10 minutes in the driveway with a laptop. Super easy. Works great, just have to hit the lock button 3 times and the truck will start.

Do you have push to start. I just installed the same remote start on my 19 2500 and e wry thing works well until I get in truck while it’s running and tap brake to put in drive. Truck turns off.

I was able to have remote start installed on my 21 push to start tradesman. I had to activate with Alfaobd and found a Key place here in town that programmed/provided the OEM 5 button Limited keys for 450$. The dealer here wanted 1,200$ to install their OEM kit which would have only been 3 button. The locksmith was only able to make it work with OEM keys.

You have to hit the start button before the brake.

I have the Start X remote start on my 2022 2500 tradesman. It works like this:
Press lock 3 times (with the right timing) to start the truck.
It will run up to 15 minutes if nothing else is done.
If you hit the unlock button you have 45 seconds to get in and press the brake pedal, do *not* touch the push to start button.

It's right in the install directions.
