Remote Start questions..

[HughS]

Hello Mr. @Jimmy07 - I am going to try to get this to you because you seem to have a good handle on this. All other pros on this chiming in will be appreciated. I was looking thru remote start info (on the Ram 2500HD forum by mistake I guess) and saw where their trucks could get remote start and remote tailgate opening by buying a key FOB with the two new buttons for that. I tried to send send a message there, but the message got 'moved' and lost because my truck is not a 2500HD. So here goes from what I learned there.

I have a 2022 Ram 1500 LoneStar truck - NO factory Remote Start and NO remote tailgate release - I of course would love both.

I have the Hood Latch warning light on the center gauges AND a Push Button Start. That is all ya'll were saying on the other forum as needed to make their HD's have Remote Start and Tailgate release - IF IF - they purchased a FOB with the Remote Start and Tailgate button and had it programed by the Dealership. AND purchase Alfaobd with connect cable to set Remote Start to 'YES' - I understood their tailgates would remote release with the new FOB only. Heck, I would be happy with a remote tailgate.

Will this same process work on my 2022 1500 RAM LoneStar? IF IF so, do I have the process and the equipment info correct or do I need to do something different? I would be new to Alfaobd also, so any hints, steps in there or code info would be appreciated.

Sorry for the long post and thank you for getting this far ... I could really use your knowledge on this. I am not up to getting that 'factory addon' and taking seats out and all that.

@HughS when you want to mention someone on a forum, put the "@" before their name like this: @Jimmy07
This way they'll get a notification that you mentioned them.

Thanks for that info - could you point me to where I could post my question above to get someone to provide possible answers - have posted it in the AlfaOBD board and this one with not responses... This topic was discussed in the 2500HD board extensively and just wanted confirmation the same applies to 1500 LoneStar 2022 models. TIA

Remote tailgate is awesome! Down and Up!!!

On my 2024 it only goes down! But that's OK with me! The weight of them with no absorber going down, could kill a small child standing near them!

Did you use the method I mentioned above, or was your included when you bought the truck?
