    Call him up and he’ll walk you thru the process. It’s actually really easy install but I had the red plug all tangled up in the back and forgot about it. Got me all worried cause my truck was just cranking and not starting. Gave him a call and in less than a min everything was good lol.

    I had the same issue. I don't think you actually need it to stay sold red and.ue but just stop it on the solid red and blue light.

    I stopped it on the red and blue light and continued with the remaining steps and it worked.

    Yup, your not waiting for a solid light. Once red and blue blinks release the button immediately and move on to the next step

    I was wondering the same thing. I got the sticker with the unit that basically said to be mindful during servicing that the vehicle was equipped with a remote starter. What do we have to do when getting the truck serviced?

    Anyone else notice how badly the dealer hacks up the factory wiring harness so they can install the karr alarm and use their smartphones to unlock the vehicle prior to a test drive?

    Yep I just got mine and saw the same sticker. To uninstall it for service so the dealership doesn’t use that against me won’t be happening but it’d worry me a bit.

    My remote must be different. My truck starts when I hold down the lock button for 3 seconds, not with 3 pushes of the button. I have a G key 2010 with factory remote keyless entry

    Niiiiiiiiice.... I just tried that with the Fortin Evo and it does it too. Just hold lock for three seconds instead of three presses.

    Did you guys use the video on page 1 or a different one? Going to do it this weekend and I got the plug and play so there’s no splicing at all.

    I just used the video link the email James sent. That and the PDF file. Its a pretty easy process with the plug and play, and you'll be so glad you did this. I've been loving the remote start.

    Highly recommend adding the car link also if y'all havent. Can fire up your truck from anywhere you have service. Or leave the truck running while shopping etc and just lock the truck via the app. (I don't live in a city where that would be unsafe) haha.

    Right on thanks man. Had to search in my junk but finally found it. Just need to figure out how the tpms harness from 12voltsolutions plugs into but I’m sure it’ll be easy once it’s all apart. I’m in both city and country and will use this like crazy.
    Badass truck you got there!

    That is actually my video James posted in the first post. I'm humbled James thought it was good enough to post here. The video/directions James sends is enough to get most people through the install process. If something is not quite right, just shoot him a text. He is super helpful and when I ran into an issue he called me back on Sunday afternoon and had me working in literally 30 seconds.

    Did the install today and when I went to fuel up I magically got an extra 200 mpg per tank. Beats the 400 miles a tank I was getting before the install! :facepalm::D

    FYI: This system is dope! However, it doesn't like stuff plugged into the OBDII port. I have an OBDII splitter with a cheap Amazon "diagnostic thingy" and a haul gauge plugged in. Yesterday I have to unplug the splitter completely because when I tried to remote start the truck would make the starting noise, but never turn over. This morning I only had the Haul gauge plugged in and 3 clicks of the lock button yielded nothing, not even a start sound. I went and unplugged the Haul gauge... started right up.

    What, if any, items do yall have plugged into the OBDII port? Or am I the only one experiencing this?

    Sidenote: Where is everyone placing their "this vehicle is equipped with a remote start system..." sticker? Under the hood or in the door jam?

    This system is awesome and even better with the remote module and app. I don't think I ever mentioned how much of a help James was with all this and very responsive like immediately. I have a 2020 and the harness is different. James reached out to one of his colleagues who had dealt with the 2020 before and got it all sorted out. Thanks James for your excellent customer service/support.

    I was thinking the door jam or somewhere under the steering column but I haven't decided yet. Most likely the door jam.

    To the black wire on the bottom plug of the ecu. It's in the instructions.

    Black wire on this plug. Should be one up from the bottom on the left hand side as you’re looking at it.

    And buy a 20-22 gauge posi-tap. Not worth trying to crimp a wire that small using a traditional line splice
