I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring and suggest a DEI product (Viper, Python, Avital). I've got 30+ years installing and Viper is my goto product. I can help you with choosing one and purchasing one if needed. I can also provide a wiring chart with OEM wire colors and locations, and just about anything else you'd need ....

x2 on the Viper/python. There was one in my truck when I bought it so I can't speak to the install procedure. But amazing product! blows every OEM FOB out of the water.

I'm interested in your wire diagram and exact part number you'd recommend. I really only want to be able to remote start my truck, no other bells and whistles. Ideally(if it's even a thing) I could just set a time and it'd start on it's own before my alarm even goes off.

Sorry to hijack this but - I've got a Viper system, keyless entry and remote start, but I have no idea which system. Any identifying numbers on the remote are gone.
I'd like to use the same or similar system in my new truck. I believe the remote can do two vehicles.
End result is I'd like both vehicles controlled by one remote.
What do you think?! Here is the remote. That is my handy holder I made after the key ring loop broke after a month! My holder has worked for years now!

I've used a Viper system for quite a while now. Remote start and keyless entry. No issues I recall. Been reliable.

I can help all around..... Viper makes a single button remote start that only starts the vehicle and has 1/4 miles range Viper 4115v. To set your vehicle up to start on a schedule is very doable!! BUT, its kind of a big bell and whistle, but super convenient and cool! You will need to do a 2 way remote start, Viper 4816v is the one button version, and you add the Viper VS550 Smart Start. It gives you complete control of your vehicle from your smart phone, including setting up a start schedule!!!!

Yes sir, 2 car operation is still an option. Unfortunately the only way to get that option is to use the LCD 2 way remote start, Viper 4706v. Super NICE piece!!! So many options and flexibility!!!!
