I have a 2006 LX. I've decided that I want a remote start for the winter. Are the mopar kits reasonable or is something esle more cost effective. I don't need a facy alarm or 2 mile transmitting distance. A couple hundred feet would work just to get her going in the garage across the lot in the morning.

Check the manual, I forget now what 2 beeps means - I think that means a safety? Either the key-in safety or hood switch safety? Did your hood switch take a dump or come ungrounded?

What's a 2-way upgrade?

Mopar sells a 2-way upgrade for the OEM remote start. Replaces the DNS card and comes w/ a new remote and antenna. It's longer-range, and has simple backlighting/beeping on the fob to tell you the car did or didn't start, is running, and shut off after max run time reached.

I absolutely love my Mopar remote start w/ 2-way upgrade. Install wasn't bad - though I just tried to do another one for a member (without the 2-way upgrade) and couldn't get it to program the remotes.
Was this the one you PMed me about??? I totally forgot to get back to you. If you bought the remote start kit new, there is no need to program the remotes. They come pre-programmed in the kit. You only have to program additional remotes.

Isn't that where you open the SKREEM chip interface and clip a wire??? Did that on a PT. Don't remember which one. By the way, to others out there installing these or having a problem with these, there is a toll free # on the directions of the kit to a technical assistance line. It is a great resource, they are very knowledgable and will get you squared away within a few minutes.

yup, that's the one.

cut and tape back to harness the orange and violet wires going into the SKREEM interface module.

Mopar Remote start worked fine, now dead. LED flashes on remotes, no horn chirp no lights flash.
Appears that there is no power to module, press and hold programming button no LED no horn chirp. Took out DNA from module all fuses good. Something failed, have not had a chance to troubleshoot.
