How to install a car remote start (roughly) PART 1

This Video and the following 2 parts are just a rough overview about how to install a remote starter kit in your car.
The car I am installing this in is my 3.8L fully loaded Dodge Grand Caravan.
YES I DRIVE A MINIVAN and I dont have kids, so what? xD
Anyway I want to show how complex this job is and that it sure aint easy.
If you have knowledge as technician or electrician you will be fine, if you are COMPLETLY new to this kinda stuff, I recommend to see a dealership or a outfitter to get your remote start installed.
Installing these kind of systems wrong into your car, could cause the electronics to fail. I have never done this before and received no help, so understand this is not to show you how YOU HAVE TO do it, I simply want to show you what needs doing, if you decide to install a cheapy kit.
Messing with the security controller (transponder module) could prevent you from driving back home, if damaged during install.
As an advice, when you program the transponder module to override the factory anti theft and you fail, DO NOT REPROGRAM right away or try to start the car by remote.
Instead, insert the key and start the car until the Anti theft module is reset (let it run for 20 seconds).
It WILL lock you out, if you attempt to start the car more than 4 times without having the right "disarm chip".
Once the original key is inserted and the car ran, the module will be set to zero counts of fail starts and you will be fine.
As for the complainers and haters. Sure there are pro installers that do a MUCH MUCH better job than I am doing here, but I bet you a million dollars, you had to learn your way also, so keep your criticism on a low and understand this was MY FIRST TIME! A so called, remote start kit virgin. Thanks :)

I'm a man of many trades and like to do things myself, but remote start alarms is not something I will attempt. I know can do it, but I also know it would take a couple of days and I would run into all kinds of trouble with no easy answer. Better to save myself from all of the stress and let someone that does it for a living do it. I just had a viper 5901 with remote start installed.

@billybassman21 Yeah, I am the same way. I can do lots of things. But there are jobs a guy should just not waste his nerves on. Like you said, we can probably do it, figure it out over time....but is it worth it? :D Thanks for the comment mate.

how come you are never going to sell it? did you buy it brand new?

[oBseSsIoNPC]

@colorado1516 My Mini Van is build in 2003 and I bought it used in 2008 for $18000 (which was expensive, long story to that). I put roughly 60000 kms on it and I have put in roughly $3000 dollar in repair and tune up (incl wheels). It is paid off and I know the thing inside out. Spending money to maintain is cheaper, than buying something new just to put me into debt. Selling something that you already own and know is stupid imho. New cars suck...they're build flimsy (most).

What's the app calked

[oBseSsIoNPC]

@matthewegordy What app?

[oBseSsIoNPC]

@SuperBlobsterMan I steal nothing, since I am not doing this for a living nor offer my expertise to others for money. I have done this to my own vehicle. There is no need to get excited, as long as you guys do your job well and offer customer service. Look through the comments, there are more ppl that wont bother with such an install than ppl that will do it themselves.
