Did you have the link to the instructions on how to install the KAOdTECH bypass cable ?

so I bought the bypass cable however the instructions say to connect the black and green white into 1 CAN block and white and green or all white into 2 CAN but the harness I have has blue/yellow lead and a pink/green lead. Do you know what leads to to which CAN block ?

 

[Dan Carey]

The one with the Black connector goes to the front block, that would the one closest to the fire wall. The White connector goes to the Block that is the double block closest to the light switch. The white connector has yellow and blue wires.

Take a good look at the way the plugs lock into the block. There is a small tab on the side that can be cut off if you want to remove the by pass easily.

The instructions suck as bad as their customer service who doesn’t respond to emails.

Anyways- use a razor to cut the tabs off it makes life much easier

Haha I’ve heard what tabs are you referring to the ones on the actual bypass harness that plugs into the CAN bus ? Do you know what colors plug into what ?

Do you mean to cut these off ?

I circled it in blue. It looks like a little shark fin from the side. Lay a razor flat and trim it off.

What model do you have? I haven’t seen a Ram with a trunk…lol

Man so I was able to solder the buttons on a program the truck. The trunk release works really good but when I press the button for the auto start it just beeps once and thats it.

Did you turn on the remote start option and drive the truck 30mph? Then try it.

how easy was it to disassemble the key fob? And what switch buttons did you use?

This may have already been covered, but I have my keys, and sales code updated and the programming done, but I have the hood ajar warning, anyone know what I need to do to bypass the hood latch?

Remote start added to 2020 Tradesman (SOLVED)

Hi all, new to the forum, as I bought not only my first Ram HD, but my first new vehicle! A 2020 2500 Tradesman with the Cummins diesel, 4x4 6'4" bed, upgraded with 8.4" uconnect..... The only option it does not have, that I truly desire, is a remote start. My truck has a push button start and...

This has everything you ever wanted to know about Ram remote start.

I dont know if this has been mentioned. But I have the StartX, had for over two years now. No issues at all, easy to remove when taking to dealer if needeed. It uses the same remote the truck came with "with no button for remote start". I just hit the lock button 3 times. Works fine for me.

Question if anyone can advise, i have a 22 ram 2500 tradesman. It has the hood latch sensor and came with only 1 key, so of course I bought a second key with remote start. The dealer programmed the key, but could not activate the remote start. He provided a print out indicating an antenna fault error code. The doors unlock just fine, does the remote start use a different antenna, is there something else going on or is the dealer just a dud. Any suggestions or help is appreciated. Thank you.

did they add the sales code for remote start? XBM, parts dept usually adds it and then the tech does a reflash
