Start-X Remote Starter Kit for RAM 1500, 2500, 3500 (2013-2017)

I ordered this unit for my 2015 Ram 1500, and it arrived within 2 days. I went through the setup process (easy if you pay close attention to the steps) and brought the module inside to finish programming on the computer with the supplied USB connector. The unit would not flash. I called customer service and was connected to a tech in minutes. He walked me through the process, including the download for the final program, and realized I had a bad module quite quickly. He asked me to send a picture of the module, which i promptly did, and he immediately sent me a replacement. Worked perfectly. Do NOT spend $100's of dollars to have a remote starter installed by a shop! This unit is exactly what you would pay $700 +/- for at a fraction of the cost, and works perfectly. It uses the factory tip key as the remote, thus giving you much more range for the startup. I highly recommend this product, and the customer service is top notch! It required very little dismantling (pull the dash panel off), and took all of 30 minutes to program and install. I am duly impressed! I found the instructions clear and concise, as long as you follow them to the letter. Best bang for the buck you can find!

I can’t believe how easy this was to install and program! Maybe 30 minutes from start to finish with programming. You do jump around in the instructions a bit, but it’s incredibly easy, just follow the instructions. Downloading the firmware was easy.

I saw a lot of complaints about this, but I love it because it protects you as the owner!! Very simple! Pretty impressed with myself and you will be too! 😉

I’ve seen reviews of where customers talk about how long it took them to install this product or the issues they’ve faced during the install. I took the time to read the instructions 3-4 times before I started the process of installing it. It literally took me 10 minutes to install it without any issues or hiccups. I also downloaded the software required to flash the lil black box. I honestly think that’s what help me to cut down on time of the install. It is so easy to use, it is completely compatible with my 2016 Ram 1500. The wiring is not at all complicated. I can honestly say that this is worth every penny I’ve spent on this product. I’m so happy with this purchase. I used Microsoft Edge I know some videos say to install Internet Explorer but I did not have any issues with Microsoft Edge Web Browser.

I bought this as a gift for my father. The install was pretty strait forward. You have to do a download to the device and then reinstall it. I'm not super savvy with that kind of thing but it went well and works great. For the price and about an hour of your time it's a good deal. Watch a video of install and it goes easy.

Almost 5 star but requires a usb/computer to complete the install. If you don't have one, gotta use someones. Overall it works/install is easy, especially if handy.not exactly plug and play if you have to program. But so far so good either way.

I’m coming back 4 years later to tell you that is company and product has single handily made my truck a whole lot better during the crazy heat of South Texas. Beyond that, I recently had a problem after I primed my fuel system with the On/Off method and this feature stopped working. Afterwards, I troubleshoot using the instruction on Amazon which didn’t fix my issue. Decided to reach out to the company, mind you 4 years later on a Saturday afternoon, for some assistance and within 10 mins had a response asking for more info to troubleshoot. Within the hour, I had my truck’s remote start back up and in working order. Truly a great product and even better customer service! Looking forward to buying one for my dads truck!

This was really easy to install! Would definitely recommend this to anyone!

Installed on a 2017 Ram 1500 CC with Tip Key. I have never installed a remote start kit.. I know the basics of vehicles, so this wasn’t incredibly hard. If you know the basics, I would save the money and do it yourself. Shoot, even if you don’t, save the money and DIY- it’s not hard at all. 1st off, I had to buy a used dell laptop from OfferUp since it’s not supported for Mac laptops, which kind of sucked. However, that was probably way cheaper than getting it professionally installed. 2nd, the instructions kind of sucked.. I had to re-read the instructions a few times since they were vague. Once understood, the install was a breeze. I had no hiccups during install. In fact, this is the easiest and smoothest aftermarket install I’ve ever done on any vehicle. Make sure you use internet explorer or else it’ll say it’s not compatible. I’d recommend this product to anybody wanting to do a DIY install. It’ll take a little bit to get used to starting it, but I’m so excited. Being in Arizona, it’ll be nice to have remote start during 115+ summers and below 32 winter mornings. I never had to reach out to customer service or re flash the device. Just make sure you thoroughly follow the directions. My biggest complaint and improvement to the developer would be better instructions and to have an installation video guide to go along with. Update: I have since downgraded to a 1 star. After 3 months, suddenly my ECU did not recognize both of my key fobs. This messed with my computer system and left me stranded several times. Once I removed the product, my truck started working fine. It also caused computer glitches to have my truck driving at 5500 RPM at 45mph. Not sure what was going with this product.

Highly recommended! Installs quickly and easily and is also easy to program. The entire install and programming process took me about half an hour and I am no expert..

It’s worth for money I installed on 2014 ram 1500 it’s working perfectly fine and easy to install

INSTALLING THE WIRING IS EASY. PROGRAMMING IS WHOLE OTHER STORY. NO PHONE NUMBER TO CALL WAITING FOR PASS CODES AND BLAH BLAH BLAH THROUGH EMAIL. RIGHT NOW I WISHED I HAD NOT PURCHASED IT. I WILL UPDATE IF THEIR TECH SUPPORT COMES THROUGH OR ELSE ILL SEND IT BACK. UPDATE:PROGARMMING WAS COMPLICATED BECAUSE THEY NEEDED MY AMAZON ORDER# TO SEND ME A ACTIVATION P/W. BUT THEY COULDNT RETRIEVE ANY INFORMATION. AFTER A DAY OF BACK AND FORTH, PROGRAMMING THE MODULE WAS EASY AND IT WORKED FIRST TRY. IT SHOULDNT BE ADVERTISED AS PLUG AND PLAY. THEY SHOULD HAVE A PHONE NUMBER FOR HUMAN CONTACT.

Instructions were pretty straight forward. Easy enough install, didn’t take long. Took a few tries to get it to connect but it said if that was the case to just restart the process and after a few tries it worked. Downloading the “software” or whatever it’s called to program it didn’t take as long as I thought and the second I started the programming it took no more than 5 minutes. Went out to plug it in and worked like a charm.

This upgrade was one of the easiest installs I've had on any vehicle I owned. The entire process took 30 mins. Quality parts easy install and works like a charm! Excellent Product! I read some reviews that say the instructions were not inbox and if they were, they were not good. Thats BS, all the instructions were there neatly packaged. Another review said it wouldnt work with MAC. I used a Macbook Pro and it worked like a charm, took less than a minute to configure the unit.
