The new Mopar unit specifically for DC cars fixes that.mickeyboy said:not a good idea
Does the warrantee apply only if the unit was installed by the dealer, or do you get the warrantee if you install it yourself, or have it installed by some other shop?joecool72 said:I'd go with the Mopar Parts unit. Only reason I say that is the 3 yr/36,000 mile that will come with it. I believe parts alone runs about $300-325, no labor.![]()
YEs, that is why I decided to go with automate and bypass the autostart, I dont really need it. I rather cary a single remote for the car/alarm than two for the autostart.D300C said:do you have to carry around 2 remotes?
Please confirm "installed cost $450.00" was parts & installation....not just the installation. Assuming it is both, it sounds like that is the way to go....unless installation is a simple "plug and go"....has anyone self installed?Carols 300C said:I have the MOPAR remote starter installed by the dealer. It works fine, except for one small glitch, which I reported to the service manager. After you remote start the car, put the key in the ignition to on, and touch the brake (which is the procedure), the auto head lights don't work. So you must restart with the key, then they work. I would guess they will have this figured out by the time I bring my car in for the next oil change. I insisted on MOPAR to maintain the warrantee. Installed cost $450.00.
I installed mine, as I like doing stuff like this myself. It wasn't that difficult if you take your time, follow the installation instructions, and having a copy of the service manual won't hurt either. Also, it would probably help if you have some experience working with car electical systems, or have previously installed other auto accessories. Definately not for the impatient!frank29 said:The $300-325 matches Chrysler's website. Module kit 82208859 for $100 and installation kit 82208995 for $199. I think I'm going for it.
Big question: do the work myself? Does anyone have experience installing this system?

Total time is hard to say, as I was also installing a DRL kit simultaneously. I would say allow a full day (at least), as some of the locations for wiring connections got a little tricky. I just took my time and made sure I did it right. Good luck!frank29 said:RayJ2004; how much time would you suggest it would take to make the installation(assuming the person doing the work is a competent back yard sort of mechanic)? While I, also, like to do stuff like this; I have gotten to a point in my life where I balance my time against the cost of having someone else do the work (years ago, the only work I didn't do was install tires!! And, for awhile, I even considered buying equipment to do that...wisely, I never did)

I am having a Chyrsler remote starter installed on Wednesday. This will be the first one the dealership has installed - yikes! I was told since I have 6,000 miles on my car, the remote starter would not be covered under 3yr/36,000 mi, but would have a 12mo/12,000mi warranty on it. Anyone out there know the facts on this?? I don't trust the dealership as being informed as I told them of my recall on the radiator brackets. Thanks to this forum, I feel as though I am informed.joecool72 said:I'd go with the Mopar Parts unit. Only reason I say that is the 3 yr/36,000 mile that will come with it.

On our last car, a mopar dvd unit had to be installed (or at least paid for) B4 delivery to capture the car's warrant which was actually 5 years as we had purchased the extra 2 yrs on the car. The installation was a month later, but paid up front, so you might be getting the truth here...Baya879 said:I am having a Chyrsler remote starter installed on Wednesday.
