So I decided to go against the popular brand and get a Start-X remote start.
I got the kit for 2018 to 2020 tip start Rams. The install was so easy. It really was plug and play. No splicing at all. I plugged the T harness in and connected the CAN connector to the green CAN terminal. That took 2 minutes. After that I followed the instructions for training the module. After that I programmed it using their website. You have to use IE to program it. Safari, Chrome, Edge, and any other browser won't work. If you have a newer computer and it only has Edge, type IE into the search bar and Internet Explorer will come up. It's in there, they just don't give you a icon for it.
The programming was easy. You sign up at their site and download their program and then follow the instructions for flashing the module on their site. That took maybe 5 minutes.
Finally I plugged the module in again and cycled the key according to their instructions. I hit the lock button 3 times and it started. I tied everything up with tie wraps, put the kick plate back on and I was done. Maybe 20 minutes start to finish.
It couldn't have been easier. I got it from Amazon for $169. The fact that it was total plug and play with no splicing was the deciding factor for me.
