Got my alarm installation completed finally. Came out perfect and works great. I put in the Clifford Matrix RSX 3.5. This unit has 2 way paging up to 1/4 mi, Remote Start, Dual shock sensor, Motion / Tilt sensor, Dual zone radar sensor and glass break sensor. Took me 2 days. I will install the window module and the voice module in the next few weeks. Sorry no pics yet because I haven't figured out how to insert them into a message yet.

Congrats!!

I really want to know how your window modules turn out, my rear came out fine but the front ones were giving me trouble so I had to uninstall them and and looking for a solution around the OEM window sytem.

I'll be installing the Window & Voice Modules next week. Here are a few pics of my install. The only hole I drilled for the entire installation was for the LED in the switch blank below the radio. Pics include Hood pin switch, Glass break microphone, LED and Dash during installation and afterwards. This is not a installation for those with weak hearts. Also, downloading the factory service manual for the electrical system is a must!

Location of sensors are: Dual Zone Radar is velcro'd to the top of the head unit. Dual shock sensor is Velcro'd to the inside of the center console. Glass break sensor inside center console with microphone installed just above the park indicator on the console (see pic). Tilt & Motion sensor velcro'd to some electrical box under dash. The alarm brain is mounted inside the center console. The antenna is inside the headliner just behind the rear view mirror.

I used the trunk switch on the remote to open my electric bed cover.

Everything works great!

I couldn't wait so I installed the window module. It works perfectly! I can remotely vent the windows at any time. They will roll up during the arming of the alarm. I retaing all original functionality of the factory window control system.

Next week, the voice module! I'm looking for a audio clip that I can play as my warn away voice. I thought a Bart Simpson or Arnold clip might work. Anyone have a suggestion?

I had the AstroStart installed by the dealer for $459 with 2 key transmitters. All factory alarm systems still operate as designed. There is a panic button as well. Works up to 2000'. Up here in the North...this is a necessary mod! Not to mention the heated seats!

socalbluetooth, do you have pics of where you pulled the door trigger wires at the BCM? or do you have any tips on how to reach them?

The way it works is that you press "lock, unlock, lock". Then it starts right up. I think they charged me close to $400, which is more than I could get it done for at an aftermarket place, but the dealer says they will warantee it along with the factory warantee. This was big for me since I had a friend that had a starter installed in a Dodge and it failed after the 12 month guarantee they gave on the starter. He was seriously hurting because he came out of pocket to fix everything when the car wouldnt start even with the key.

Did you ever find out what brand remote starter they used? I really like being able to keep the factory keyfob and warrantee. I just found out my truck won't fit in the garage unless I fold both mirrors (guess I should have gotten an 06 with the power folding mirrors). Figure $400 was cheaper than the premium to trade up to an 06.....

Thanks,
