Install Start X Remote Start 2016 Ram

#remotestart #dodge #ram #2016 #startx
Purchased a remote starter for my 2016 Dodge Ram from Start X for around $179.00.
I have never put in a remote start and wanted to see how easy or difficult it was. I looked up several videos and was not able to find one for my vehicle so I decided to pull out my phone and record as I installed in the hopes it might be able to help someone else in the future.
Sorry, it is not professional, it was a spur of the moment video.
I hope it helps someone that may need it.
(I was not compensated in anyway for the filming of this video)

Great video.. I laughed when you got the truck to start with remote and truck didn't turn off till the brake was pressed. I'm looking at purchasing also.

Thanks for the video. Just ordered mine today gonna try to install it in a few days!

[@chriswilliam4794]

great! just got mine and plan to install tomorrow!

[@frankpanzica6685]

Most step by step and honest video I've found for this product thanks brother

I just installed one in my 2022 ram. Instalation was super easy. The instructions were a little vague. The programing software has some nice options. Set a 20 second delay for the diesel, up to 30 minute runtime. I chose to turn off all lights, no flash. Can't beat the price $200

[@mikejacobson310]

great video i will be installing mine on monday

[@chevy4240]

I installed mine today and had to refresh the module cause it did not work the first time but after the second flash all works great and programmed no problem .. wow it works great .!!!

[@jakemason9436]

Thanks. Mine arrived today. Installing this weekend. Will update after its in.

[@snapshotvideo]

good luck.. it is pretty easy.

[@jvelezfam]

Good job, I followed your instructions

[@jeffhamberger5988]

May not have been a “professional” video, but definitely one of the best I have seen on his product. Seems like you covered everything. I assume the computer part was pretty straight forward? Is everything still working for you 5 months later? I am seriously considering ordering this for my 2014 2500.

[@snapshotvideo]

Yes 5 months later it works great, no issues

[@eddiehopper]

thanks for sharing!! made it so easy to do!!!

[@marchallaert7372]

Very helpful thank you!

[@sanekrs1]

Great job! The site only lists Dodge Ram until 2011, tell me if the firmware is suitable for Dodge Ram 2015? Or are they all the same since 2008? 

[@Leveller66]

This is SUPER helpful. My unit arrived from Amazon today with no instructions inside. I was (admittedly) screenshotting yours from the video (you rock!), as this is the only decent video online. But now I'm stuck with the "Go online to the website" part as I don't know where exactly to go. Any chance you would post a photo up of that page if you still have them? Or from memory?

[@snapshotvideo]

I'll see if I can find the paperwork and post it.

[@urmajesty08]

Thanks for sharing. I ran into the same issue with the green light not coming on after opening and closing the doors. Your approach with putting the key in first and then unlocking worked for me as well. Thanks again!

[@t_dogg8097]

Sweet video!! I watched it twice before mine got here and install was a breeze. Not a snag whatsoever. 20 mins from start to finish including the software.

[@snapshotvideo]

Nice job!

[@dustinjohnson7002]

Does the 2012 hook up the same I ordered mine I just haven't installed it yet

[@snapshotvideo]

@@dustinjohnson7002 sorry I have no idea, all I have is a 2016, I am guessing it is similar

[@katiegeiger6658]

Do you know if all the start X remote start kits like these use your existing key fob I have a Dodge Durango push to start and I want to buy the kit but online it doesn’t have a whole lot of explanation on what it comes with. Or if when you remote start it it still stays locked until you start the vehicle and run position

[@tinguyen1691]

I have RAM promaster 1500, so which one you recommend for it, thanks sir!

[@StevenBlackwell75]

When you remote start the truck does the heat and ac work normal? In the summer will cool the cab down before you get in? How love will it run once remote started?

[@markashley8909]

The night before turn on the ac or heater then remote start it and what ever one you had on will be on when it starts

[@snapshotvideo]

you have to turn on the heat or AC before you shut off the vehicle, then yes, it will come on when you start it.

[@johniedavis9150]

Everything still working after 2 years? Thinking about ordering one soon.

[@snapshotvideo]

works great!! just had to reset it after installing a battery in the truck, instructions are in the thread.

[@keanterose1062]

After you remote start it from outside the truck. Once you get in how do you have to go about driving? Just get in and turn the key all the way to start and just put it in drive and go?

[@snapshotvideo]

You have to put the key in the ignition turn it to on and hit the break. If you don't it in that order, it will shut off and you have to use the key to restart it. It is an anti theft feature It will shut off automatically after 15 min if you just leave it run.

[@jp052476]

@@snapshotvideo man....thanks for the video. I have mines installed but I'm having a hell of a time once I'm in the truck and getting the engine to stay on once in. Everytime I turn the key to on and hit the brakes the engine cuts off. Any advice?

[@snapshotvideo]

@@jp052476 sorry for the delay in response, once in a while mine will turn off as I put it in drive it has only happened a few times. But if you turn the key to run, hit the break and put it in drive over 99% of the time it works fine. I've had mine for almost a year now and even had to reprogram a replacement key,, but the system had no issues accepting the new key, still works great. I would make sure you don't have a loose wire and all connections are tight.

[@Xanza]

After it's remote started, you unlock the doors and you have 45 seconds (or depending on how long you configured it) to turn the key to "ON" and hit the break, otherwise after 45 seconds it will shutdown.

[@snapshotvideo]

JUST A QUICK UPDATE!! I replaced my battery in the truck and the remote start stopped working, I contacted Start X and they told me to open the door and tun the key to ON then OFF and back ON and OFF 5 times in 7 seconds wait 7 seconds and start the truck.. It reset the remote start and working Great over 2 years later

[@burresscounty]

Is it still working as it should? Are you happy with this purchase?

[@snapshotvideo]

Now that winter is here., Yes I love it..

[@pido0082]

does the obd2 port still work for code readings in things?

[@snapshotvideo]

it should I have not heard other wise

[@jonathonarriola6499]

I can't get the red light to go turn on let alone solid in step 5

[@carlosbaltazar3103]

How has the start x been after a year?

[@snapshotvideo]

over 2 years and still going strong

[@evancovington]

Could you possible submit a picture of those manual pages?

[@ritojr1795]

My green light wont turn on. I tried doing what you did but nothing happens. Do you know what it could be?

[@snapshotvideo]

Try it again, make sure you didnt miss a step, I put everything in the video I did to get it to work, 5 months later it still works great.

[@matthewtyler2166]

Make sure all wires are in the right place

[@daveyoung1451]

How did you get the green light to turn on?

[@DavidDallas3343]

Then it really isn't plug & play If you have to use a computer who has a computer nowadays?
