I am thinking about putting a remote starter in my 2005 dakota, problem
is the one I got is aftermarket (from another vehicle...I took it off
and am reinstalling on this one). I can't decide if, to save the
warranty on the electrical system from being voided, I should buy a new
mopar branded one, or just wait and install this one after 3 yr/36000
miles. Has anyone used the mopar remote starter? From what I can tell
it does not include Keyless entry or alarm features which I also want
to add.

Any suggestions or advice about the Mopar starter or if I should wait
or not is appreciated. Thank you

Also, Has anyone had any really hard times with Dodge's electrical
systems?

problems.

Hi Kevin,
You don't say what the remote starter is off of, or do you know what it
will work on? Anyway bad Idea for the 2005, or any model that has a "Pass Key
or Chip", because you will need to mount an extra pass key near the ignition
for the remote start to work. And yes, it will VOID your warranty if the
technician decides that the remote start is what caused a problem.
