The hood latch part number installed on a 2019-2021 Ram that is built at the factory with remote start is exactly the same. <br /> The key fob part numbers in that kit are 68374994AC. The part number of the fobs supplied with a 2019-2021 Ram Big Horn that is built at the factory with remote start is exactly the same. <br /> Technically speaking, remote start is “installed” on every single Ram, because it is a function that is built into the RF Hub. It just needs to be “turned on” in the BCM. All 2019 and 2020 Rams, optioned with remote start or not, are equipped with the exact same RF Hub. <br /> The only thing the remote start kit does is gives you the hood latch that has the hood ajar sensor in it (since remote start needs to see the hood as closed in order to work), and gives you the fobs that has the remote start button on the circuit board. <br /> Speaking of the hood latch, have you checked to see if your truck is already equipped with the correct latch using the photo posted earlier in this thread?<br /> It’s getting really frustrating with the amount of bad information dealers are giving people that don’t know any better, and how much the FCA techs really don’t have a clue how these vehicles actually operate.</div>

Everything works perfect, the dealer paired the fob and activated the Prod Remote Start sales code. Tailgate worked without any extra programming. I was then able to disable the “Horn When Remote Start” option inside the Door Lock settings on the radio.</div>
