Hi there folks!
First of all thanks for a great forum like this lots of great information. I'm new with rams in general but have some mechanical experience. I have a ram 1500 ST (I think) (V6 4x2 and very basic) but I do have power windows and locks. My car came with a blade key, no key fob. With alfaobd I have successfully add a key fob + program the look/unlock with key fob. I'm trying to program te remote start, so far now when I double click the remote start on fob car hunk once but no start (I believe it have to hunk twice and then the car will start).
Last thing I did was activating the hood door ajar it was harder to find in app because my is non-powernet and there are less examples.
So my questions are 2, I have read something about 2 options in alfaobd for the resistance of the hood pin where I find that?? I just intend to grown the pin with the 1k ohms. which option do I select and where do I find the options of the resistance?
Question 2 where is my bcm? I have looked everywhere near the parking brake pedal and I can't seem to find a big box with several connectors. Am I looking in the wrong place, it has something to do with the fact that my car is a non-powernet?
Help will be much appreciated
Thank you all
Ps. Sorry for my English is not my mother language trying my best
Ok today I finally got my remote start working, I think is one great achievement because were I live is like 100F° everyday so been able to start the car and be more cool before I enter is great.
It did cost me a little because there is so little info on cars without power-net (I know there is info don't get me wrong) but it was little hard to gather all. That been said I want to make a super resume of what I did get it to work.
This is what I Did and in the order I did!
First thing My car is: Ram 1500 ST V6 4x2 2011 with TIPM (no BCM under steering)
Step 1 get obdlink MX+ and alfaobd app (full version)
Step 2 get the pin number for your car (look on web where to get it)
Step 3 program a key fob with remote start (plenty information of how to do it)
Step 4 in Alfaobd get in: body computer/ central gateway module my2006-12 non-powernet / car configuration change /
Look for:
- vehicle config 1: Remote start present: change to SET
- vehicle config 2: RKE System Present
Change to SET
- configurable inputs: input #2 (b11)
Change to Hood Ajar
Now go back to the main page of app and select: Radio Frequency Hub (RFH) / wireless control module (WCM) my 2011-12 non-powernet/
Select: Reset WIN Configuration / put your pin and follow the steps.
After that you have 2 options. If you have prewired hood ajar switch ( look on the latch near the horn if you have an extra conector)
- You can buy the latch with the switch and will be ready to go.
- or if you don't have prewired (like me) you can take out you TIPM(fuse box) look for conector C4 find pin #3 and ground it (I have read that you have to put a resistance of 1k ohms but I tried with and without the resistance and worked fine either way. But I put the resistance any way.)
You can. Check your work done if you scan your car and you don't have a check code: hood ajar switch high circuit
If you don't have it or you can delete it and doesn't come back on, You are ready.
Let you car rest sometime do a small drive 15 to 20 min should be fine and try your remote start!
I hope this helps someone, and if it doesn't well at least I told everyone what I did to have my car running with the remote!
