I believe your original keyfobs will also work to remote start the truck, you just need to use the rubber part that has the button for it.
Remote Start Enable
Well we can add a 2015 Bighorn (SLT) to the list that has all the wiring for remote start.
I installed the factory hood latch with wiring and programmed 2 keys using ALFA OBD
Then I used this process:
Body Computer- Car configuration change
Remote start present- yes
CBC I/O hood ajar switch input present- yes
CBC I/O usage hood ajar switch usage- 1k parallel resistor
Radio Frequency Hub, then MY2013-2017 PowerNet.
RF Hub reset/replace. Enter PIN and click start. After procedure complete, back out of the app, turn ignition off, remove fob, and exit truck close doors. Let truck sit for a bit, then try remote starting.
Let the truck sit overnight, went for a drive, came back and viola! Factory remote start! Success!

Trying to determine what I would need to buy to do this to my 2014 Lone Star. I know a hood latch, I already have alpha, but the more I read the more confused I become.
Is there a module behind the seat that has to be added?

Here's all the info you need.......
Remote Start Enable AlfaOBD
Hello, I'm Curious if anyone can tell me what size resistor to put into the hood latch wire socket in order to enable the remote Start Feature using AlfaOBD, I watched a video of a guy doing it, but he won't disclose what size resistor to put in the hood latch sensor socket and wont answer any...

All I needed was the hood latch switch and ALFA. (and good instructions)Awesome! Thanks for pointing the way!
Got it done today! New latch and new fobik with a little time on Alpha.
So....I have a stupid question (probably many, but start simple). Is this adding remote start through Alfa obd (w/phone) or just adding it for a fob that didn't already have it? I was wondering if this was an alternative to using phone to remote start with Uconnect subscription.
The process described here does NOT need a U Connect subscription. This is done through programming the vehicle with alfaobd and supplying a key fob with remote start capabilities.
I would think that if you can remote start with an app on your phone all you should easily be able to program a key fob also.
