I don't get it. I went to like every single website that sells mopar parts and when I entered the vin or by model and year they never showed up. I have been looking for two days. What am I doing wrong?

Remote start added to 2020 Tradesman (SOLVED)
- Thread starter Kunkernator
- Start date
Lots of 2020 parts don't show up or only show one model and not the other. If you can't find something that should be the same 2019+, try 2019.
Well, I ordered a key today. I will see the dealer to get the new key activated, and to get the codes for remote start activated. If they will only do the key, it may provide enough incentive to purchase the stuff to use AlphaODB.
About the FOB. Right now I have two original ones with close . open and panic button. Since I want to add remote starter and tailgate assistance I purchased one with corresponding buttons. My question is...can I go to the dealer and asked them to activate it right now before I install remote start? And once I install it activated it with AlfOBD? Everything should work?
It is my understanding, that the facilities for the remote start are already present. But without a fob button to activate it, and the feature codes active, it doesn't work. The dealer supposedly has the ability to turn on the codes when they activate the new fob.
What do you think needs to be installed?
Ive ordered the MXODBII module, and the bypass cable. When those arrive, I'll purchase the AlphaODB.
In my truck I need to install a hood latch with sensor. Other member said you can go around that if you install a resistor somewhere to make the computer think hood is always closed

Shhhh...I already have a sensor there that is wired in. If I am looking at the correct object, it is attached to my hood latch.
Then all you need is the FOB and tell the dealer to enable remote start
Where would I go about finding the hood latch sensor? anyone have a part number? I know I don't have one on my Tradesman. I already have AlfaOBD and have used it for TPMS. So it seems I just need the FOB (and get it programmed) and the sensor. Right?
I might have to go that way cause I can't find a way to get thru the engine wall. Have no idea how to run the wires.

You just go through the plastic round clutch delete plate.
There is no way I can get to the back. Can't fit my hand anywhere

This is the part you are talking about?
Because I can see it inside my truck but not in the back of engine wall.
The Aux PDC pulls out some.
I tried to pull it out and it slides out maybe 1/16 and that is. I don't want to damage the clips. Unless I'm doing something wrong

I think you have to loose the two bolts visible there between the Aux PDC and the battery tray?
You may need to loose the AUX plugs from the PDC as well.
I pulled mine out once, but I've slept since then.
I was able to just slide both plugs out. They have separate attachments on them. But now I'm stuck on the pin 11. I have to get all the way back to BCM to connect the wire there. REALLY tight space.
If you have the amplifier or active noise canceling module mounted next to the parking brake, remove it. The full wire bundle for the BCM connectors is attached to the center of the BCM with a zip tie push pin. Pry that out so you have more slack to work the connector. It’s the top left connector (black) you are inserting the wire into, but just unplug all of the connectors from the BCM for more slack. To release the ones with the lever locks, put your index finger above the lever to push in the release tab while prying up with your thumb on the bottom of the lever. Slide the black curved wire hood off of the connector. If there is a wire in pin 11 already, just remove it and install the new wire.
