Remote Start
I have a 06 CTD 6-speed and am looking for a remote start. I was wondering if anyone out there has one and what your thoughts are on it. I do not really want one with the alarm and everything on it unless it is the best bang for my buck. With the 6-speed am I going to have to buy that dang $400 sensor (the one that you need for high idle)?
Thanks for any and all replies 06 DIESEL :c: |
remote start is not a good idea. with the sentry key, they will have to use a module that bypasses the system. this in turn give a potential thief the "keys" to steal your ride. Just wanted to make you aware to protect your ride.

Really? I had not thought about that. All of the models that I have seen will shut off if the key is not in when you put your foot on the brake. These were all in an automatic so I am not sure about the manual.

My truck has auto start and everytime its used the engine icon light illuminates. then goes away after 10 key cycles or so

its not a hard code so I cant pull up anything with an OBD scanner

OIC, thanks

Dealership can install factory remote start on diesels. Local dealership here has done quite a few. Might check with your dealer.
|
I use the Viper 791XV. Works great and it's integrated with the factory alarm system.
|
I have one on mine and love it...especially in the middle of summer when its 120 degrees and I can cool my truck off before hopping in it.
|
Would the Viper 791XV work with the factory settings of a 2007 6.7l CTD or what modifications would be required to get it working, or would there be a better choice for a remote start for this truck?
Thx, Tom |
All the DEI Electronics systems (Viper, Clifford, etc) are designed to interface with the factory systems. You just have to get the correct module for your vehicle. The installer will inform you of this when you go to get the system and they will program it.

Thx DD. However, since I am located in Germany, where it is next to impossible to find someone to properly install such system, it would be interesting if there were any other ways to determine the right system?
