Viper, Compustar, etc

[Btdpi007]

I was curious if anyone has had a Viper, Compustar, etc remote start system installed in their 2019. I bought a 1500 with the 8.4 non-nav and I won't say I was mislead when I purchased my truck but I was misled about the functionality. I'll take the blame for not entirely doing the research but the nice sized very clear screen, a name like "Uconnect", and it being 2019 made me believe it was a "connected" truck. I miss some of the features I had on my 2017 Chevy (hell, even a 2012 sedan we had was "connected") like remote start via app over the internet, remote door lock over internet, location, etc.

What this long winded post is for is wanting to see if there was a 3rd party option to get any of this functionality. Compustar's website seems to indicate not available yet for the 2019 and Viper's site indicates it is available but when I contacted a local authorized Viper shop they indicate it is not yet available. I am checking in to see if anyone as had anything installed and if so what exactly.

Thanks

Check out the Fortin EVO-CHRT6 looks to support adding remote start to the '19 1500. They offer it with a T-Harness that makes installation reasonably simple(only a few wires to tap) down side is you do need to buy the Flashlink updater to properly program the unit to the truck.

I don't have experience with the 5th gen, but recently installed one of these in my g/f's '17 Versa and it took a few hours to complete (was my first time doing this type of install)
