RE: Questions for 08 owners who have there cars
So let me try to clarify this for everyone to avoid the confusion.
The 2008 STR8 does not have Remote Start built in. Yes it says it has it in the manual but it is not in the car. The FOBIK does not have the X2 button, even if you get an X2 button FOBIK programmed (for your car) the internal wiring is not “complete”. This has been confirmed by Fred Garza at Fiesta Dodge in San Antonio TX. There is a mod that may make Remote Start on the 08s possible but not it has not “made it to the streets” yet!
Remote start is available for 09 Automatic only.
