Remote start added to 2020 Tradesman (SOLVED)

Yes.
Sorry for delay in response. Haven't been on for a while. Yes A/C or heat comes on same as was before leaving vehicle, doesn't turn on if it was not on before. I have not had to push the start button to drive. I have had a couple of times when the doors have been unlocked for over a few minutes the truck shuts off when the door is opened. I did add the phone app so I can lock/unlock the doors or remote start/stop from anywhere. Really like this as the factory fob range is limited.
But my hood latch have no cable going to it.
In that case you need the remote start kit that includes the hood latch and the wiring for the hood latch. The latch that comes with the remote start kit has a switch built into it, so the truck can determine whether the hood is open or not.
That kit is out of stock everywhere. Will it work if I just buy this latch from eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/2019-2020-...155229?hash=item3d9a628e1d:g:~yQAAOSwxj9eQIuP and make my own cable? Where I can find instructions on how to install that kit?

Hood latch connector view for circuit pin out-
You’ll follow the instructions for running the switch sense wire to the BCM, and just ground the sensor ground wire to any chassis bolt close by. These are instructions for a 4th gen, so the route might be slightly different, but the BCM location and connector terminal location is the same and what matters to you. https://www.allmoparparts.com/docs/82215553.pdf
To add to my reply above: another option if you don’t have the hood latch and wiring- the hood ajar sensor wire is most likely present at the BCM connector C1 pin 11. You can just ground that wire with a 1k ohm resistor, and the BCM will see the hood as always being closed. Just throwing that out there if one weren’t concerned about installing the correct latch and wiring.
20awg is fine. I’m not sure about a locksmith. Depends who you call and what equipment they have. Dealer shouldn’t have an issue doing it, since they usually charge an hour of labor for 15 minutes of work.
I installed OEM trailer brake controller on my previous RAM. When I went to a dealer to activate it they told me they should not done it since I did the installation myself and they don't know if it was done correctly

Does it matter which key I order? There’s a couple options with the remote start and tailgate release. Thanks!
I think tailgate release will only work if you have the electric gate release. Not pull handle.

After I got my remote start working by enabling it in AlfaOBD, I disliked the fact that the horn would honk twice when remote starting it. I then enabled in the BCM, "Cust.Set.Menu 1-Sound Horn with Remote Start CSM Present" which allowed this setting to show up in the radio door lock options screen. Then I turned the horn off with remote start.
If you’re referring to different options of the 5 button fob (lock, unlock, tailgate, remote start, panic), it’s just a matter of what it says on the back- aka, RAM, Limited, Longhorn.
...Which would be all 2019+ HD Rams. Since this is in the 4.5 gen section, hopefully everyone realizes all this info only applies to 2019+, and the pull handle tailgate release is only on pre-2019.
Do you know if you can install tailgate damper kit on 2020 2500 ?
Same with the tailgate damper- all 2019+ either have it as an option, or are ready for the factory damper to be popped on.
I put a DeeZees tailgate damper on my 2020 3500. Also had one on my 2013 2500.
Not to stray TOO far off remote start topic, but just so people know, all 2019+ have the mounting studs for the factory damper. Just remove the tail light, and pop the damper on, and it’s out of sight so you never know it’s there.
I heard people buy those dampers for 1500 and once install them on 2500 the tailgate won't close. And I cannot find one made by Mopar for my 2500
