OEM push button start kits

[Mpgrimm2]

Yeah, I'm curious too. I don't see how you can have new functions without changing codes in the BCM ... and have them stick using OEM parts.

Post up the pictures, directions, and PNs with your feedback. I suppose they could send you a different, pre programmed BCM and/or wireless module for the back wall. From the limited details I read on their site, I don't see it not working. Just trying to evaluate long term issues/trade-offs if a dealer recall/BCM flash is ever needed.

I’m calling there tech support this afternoon .
Any questions you guys think I should ask ?
I gave them my vin number .
They must program the new ignition node and the antennas and the wireless module at there shop prior to shipping it out .

Yeah, ask what happens when you take the truck to the dealer for service and they reflash the truck with a default config and if needed/how to restore the new setup.

I have a feeling they load my vin details into a bcm at there shop .Learn the new modules to the bcm with my vin details stored in the bcm and then when I receive my new modules it’s already configured to match my bcm in my truck ?

Heck if they offer a "deal" Ill do a full 4k video of the entire install soup to nuts.

So I spoke with the tech support guys .
They said if the dealer has to flash the truck for any service work etc it will not affect the new push start system .
They load the new RF hub with the details from my vin number .
I asked if the system didn’t work could I put my all parts back in the truck and would it work .
He said yes it would still work .
He said there would be no reason to put the old parts back in as there system is good due to the beta testing
I told them about the forum and asked them to explain how there system works With our trucks .
I emailed them a link to this forum subject .
So Hopefully they can answer the questions we have :
He said they did a lot of beta testing on this .
They have done over 100 plus trucks With this kit .

Yup, checkin back here (I work at the aforementioned Auto Tech Electronic where we sell the Push Start kits being talked about here). Can confirm pretty much everything Skuppy has said.
I'll be checking in again to answer any more questions, I'll be checking here as often as I can.

If anyone has any questions, I have posted our number that you can call during our business hours.

So i got the basic kit installed this weekend .
The kit works as described .
Had a problem with my tpms sensors reading .
Called the guy with auto tech Sunday Evening
Whilst I was working on the truck doing the install and he answered which was awesome .He said drive for mins and will relearn.
He was spot on .
The only thing bad I have to say is the Harness that goes from the new RF hub to the new front and rear antennas is the connector that goes to these antennas is not the oem connector and is more of a pressure fit versus a lock on connector .
I brought this up to there attention .

I was wondering if anybody new what the connector would be and the female pins required for me to plug into the new antennas ?It would be a two pin connector shell and two female pins . I plan to redue the ends so it locks in correctly .

I had to relearn my bypass module as expected .

The kit is awesome .
The new fobs all worked and no check engine lights !!

Not sure why they didnt use the factory connectors on the Antennas, But if theyre factory antennas and you buy a kit and want to swap here are the connectors and terminals.

Connector: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TE-Connectivity/1-1438608-5/?qs=5LxyKtbdikFll6uVlodOdw==

Terminals: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetai...=sGAEpiMZZMs7eK6h2EBtKnOWWMlkROsyicVgE9JbJqw= 2x Connector

 

[CuylerTech]

Just based on what I can tell from their website, most likely what they have is a bench setup with a BCM, PCM and connector for the new RF Hub. They flash the PCM with your Vin, which allows them to do a "vehicle restore" to the BCM, then they pull the 4 digit security code to unlock the RF Hub, Program the Keys and package it all up to be sent out.

 

[skuppy069]

Thanks for the response on the connectors.
Yeah wasn’t sure why they don’t put the correct plug on the end .It was red plug that slid inside .
I did some reading and think if you buy a new rf hub the default pin is 0000 ??
I’m happy with the product at the end of the day .
Was nice that some one answered the phone on a Sunday evening .
If they get the harness thing straigtend out in the future then all will be good .
Thanks for your response .
I will post some pics in the future here when i re-do the ends .
Sucks as will have to pull the back seat out again to gain access to the rear antenna to put the new connector on but for peace of mind knowing the connection is locked in easily justifies the removal of the seat .

I doubt the new RF hubs are set to 0000, would make it too easy to steal cars by breaking a window and throwing in a new hub. NP on the connectors, took me 2 seconds to look up.. not sure why they didnt do that

 

[skuppy069]

So when they are setting up these components they must be using a Chrysler tool and have access to a database ?
Just curious

Yes. There are a few of us out there that have the Chrysler Diagnostic Application + WiTech 1/2 to be able to do stuff like this.

Any love for the '09-'12 owners?

I'd be interested in the push button start kit...

 

[dannyg]

Thanks for the replies and insight everyone! Shared the bit about the connectors and terminals with my boss, we're gonna try them out! We're constantly trying to improve our products with hopes of reaching more people. We hope you all stay interested! We're still looking into making our kits available for a wider range of vehicles.

Did you do door handles and all or just the push button start?

 

[skuppy069]

Just the push button .

 

[skuppy069]

So here is the wire connector that connectors to the exterior door handle I believe .
I just don’t know how to reference the repair kit to a mousor part number .
I’m trying to add this to my setup for the push start setup .
Any help would be appreciated .
Thanks

 

[skuppy069]

Quick update .
So I finally bought the door handles with the key sense and got a new harness form auto tech electronic .
Everything seems to be working perfect .I Can just leave the keys in my pocket now and use the door handles to unlock and arm the truck .
